Trying to copy the pros can be "dangerous" to our game. There are things that pros do that maybe we are not ready for ... yet.

But there are definitely things that the pros do that we should emulate regardless of our level. One of those is the third shot. The higher the level of player (and, by turn, the higher the level of the player's opponent), the higher their third shot apexes over the net.

Seems counter-intuitive but it makes perfect sense once you reflect on it. The pros know there is one opponent they cannot beat no matter what. In the podcast we tell you what that opponent is.
