I liked your format on this video! Great bonus tip about "letting ball go". My tip on bangers: when your at the kitchen line for their 3rd shot, and you know the drive is coming, widen your base and get real low in ready position, and you can judge the drive much better, and get out of the way when necessary or block it back onto their court.

Agree with you on the third shot but on the 5th just duck. 😂

One common mistake at the NVZ is a speed up to the opponent opposite your partner. If the opponent gets a paddle on your speed up, your partner is likely getting a hot ball hit at them.

Sure

What are your thoughts about backing up off the nvz when you see your opponent in front of you getting ready to attack/speed up a ball that is several inches above net level? I sometimes see pros backing off in these scenarios yet people at my club are telling people to never back up

We believe in backing up if you need a little more time to defend. That said it's a learned skill. First you have to recognizing when to back up and then you need to come back to the NVZ when the threat has been neutralized or you are out of position.

Excellent advice thanks

you're welcome

taking a dink out of the air. mistakes could be overstretching, could be hitting with deadspots on the paddle, or even could be popping the ball up.

You are correct, there are a lot of mistakes that can be made at the NVZ. Those might just be another video.
