Nice vid! It would be nice, though, to see the whole court when you’re driving so we can see where the ball is going and how the other side reacts. Cutting to the other side, it’s harder to tell the context of the whole play. If that makes sense. Love your tips!
I’m not sure what I look most forward to. Your great tips or the laughs at the end. ❤😂
You guys are adores! Let alone great professionals
Thank you so much!

thank you Catherine
lol. Yeah, what she said. You two are so lovely and great teachers. And congratulations.
Thank you! 😃
So useful
For tough deep serves is it better to drop or drive? I like the advice about driving with the higher contact point… what about backing up to let the ball drop to hit a better drop? Bad court positioning after that and hitting a drive would have set up a shorter 5th?
Yes it really depends on the situation and your preference. I personally might drive the first one if it's a really deep return hoping to get an easier 5th.
@@CatherineParenteauPB thanks!
When stacking, instead of the left side player moving to the right and the server coming across, would it be better if the left side player started off on the right-side court and just step on the court after the serve? It seems less confusing to me but I don’t see it much. Is there a reason why it’s not done more often? Thanks so much for the video! Great tips!
This is definitely a preference. One thing about stacking from the outside of the court that is beneficial is that the person at the kitchen line does not get into the line of vision of the player hitting the return.
Yes, great point, it also prevents the left side player from becoming a target for the returner. I hope to see this method used more during Pro matches. Thanks so much and congratulations on getting married! Look forward to watching you this week at MLP Beer City Open.
You and Athena should play a tournament together.
Congrats on getting married!!
When is the wedding again? Congratulations if I missed it! 🎉
It was this week. Thank you very much!!! ❤️❤️
Athena was playing too soft. Next time, hit hard serve returns.
🤣🤣🤣 Noted.
