Where to Hit your Passing Shots
by: Dave Winship @ On The Line

As a general rule you should hit your passing shots parallel to the nearest sideline. Go crosscourt if your opponent hasn't got in close to the net or if he/she has come up short with the approach shot.

Vary this if your opponent is weaker on one particular side and don't forget to mix in the odd lob! Whatever you do, don't feel you have to pass your opponent outright. Avoid attempting shots beyond your capability - a well-directed shot forcing a weak volley often pays better dividends.
