JW Johnson does such a good job at pressuring with his position while at the kitchen in a dink rally here you can see him get into a long dink rally his team getting a long dink rally in the mix doubles finals anab brigh is going to go crosscourt to Anna Lee anal and anab bright here we're going to pause it they get into this crosscourt dink rally pretty normal now Ben and JW are both trying to squeeze middle to make their Partners or their opponent's Court small so one place analie would like to go is this crosscourt dink which is what she's doing annab Bri wants to also go crosscourt dink where they would also like to go is this middle to the inside foot to the backhand foot to cause pressure on the backhand foot of each other now with JW and been squeezing middle like this kind of takes that away so if Anna Le hits this any High JW's over here to kind of flick it at B which is about to happen spoiler alert let's keep watching this so we're going to stay in this dink rally both JW and Ben now watch what's happening as this ball comes to Anna if it's sitting up and JW feels like a an attack is threatened he's going to have to cover his line better but the more aggressive and more pressure anab bright puts on Anna Lee the more JW can kind of squeeze middle to pressure her dink crosscourt so you'll notice JW kind of hedging towards the line when he might sense an attack and then hedging towards middle when he feels safer and here it is again they're still going basically every time JW sees so look again he's holding his spot here in case he gets attacked but right when he sees anal paddle open up to go crosscourt dink he moves middle and as you can tell her her paddle already showing that she's coming crosscourt dink here and so he can jump back middle as he does he's moving back middle he comes cover his line just constantly trying to find where he can pressure this middle and anab brigh and Anna Lee doing a good job of giving nothing for each of the partners b or JW to attack and then right there leaves it just a little high and a little bit too close to JW maybe he was kind of baiting that not going super far super far and then all of a sudden taking a big step flicking it at Ben's hip another very common spot to go let's see the last part of that again they're going crosscourt crosscourt JW looking JW looking and then finally oh just a little bit too high and a little bit too middle he comes he might attack this from maybe his thigh or can't tell exactly sure but he's going right at Ben's hip and oh no he T he attacks it about at his upper thigh or waist so that's how he was able to get Ben's hip now let's see where Ben was positioned on this Counterattack and again the higher this ball is that JW attacks the more he can go straight and up at B the lower the ball the more JW has to go up if he's going to attack so this ball got a little bit High giving JW the option to go straight at Ben's hip or at Ben's shoulder so let's see where Ben was to deal with that here's the last part again JW coming over and Ben uh looks like he's favoring backhand here it's really blurry but um let's see yeah he he's sitting on backhand cuz he thinks JW is going to flick it at his body he kind of does but this hip the hitting hand hip is always a problem basically for anybody cuz it's kind of not a good forehand not a good backhand I call it a lot of people call it getting pretzel so you see Ben getting pretzel here tries to bail out by getting his back end over there but just not quite enough time great poach great hunt whatever you want to call this by JW and really good dink rally by Anna Lee and Anna bright so there you have it I think that clip itself just shows how much pressure you can put with your positioning so I hear a lot of people what do I do when they're just picking on my partner and it is hard but at you know when you get to the level where at least your partners are able to do a crosscourt dink rally which might be 404 five um you can start applying this and be more like Ben and JW as they're squeezing middle and if you get into this as the actual dinker if you're the one getting the balls hit to and you're going crosscourt dink rally remember every little height on your dink that's a little too high it opens up more more and more angles for your opponents to attack so even if a Ball's kind of high that's way better for the person trying to squeeze middle and get involved in the point than a ball that's really high because then that opens up the court and they have to protect their line a lot more than they would if your ball was just a smidge High versus a lot high so that's it for this video wanted to do a quick one on the positioning as you're trying as the players are trying to get involved and I think JW shows that really well anab bright hitting really good in keeping Ben out of the point and JW looking and finally getting involved by making that giant step over after protecting his line and realizing how the point's playing out there so great job by the players overall and hope you like the video if you are someone you know is looking for a new paddle I'm going to put a link to my raw carbon fiber paddles 160 mm paddles The Brute and you can check those out and otherwise I'll see you in the next video thanks for watching bye
