Court control leads to winning more games and can be achieved with the help of the following tips:1. Focus on acceleration over speed. As the game is played on a small court, power and acceleration should take precedence over speed. Power training that focuses on core and leg muscles helps you develop the quick acceleration required to get where you need to be on the court.2. Avoid cross-court shots. Without pinpoint accuracy, cross-court shots will generally provide your opponent with plenty of time to pick a return. This grants the opponent more control over the court.3. Keep your eyes on the ball. Your opponent’s movements may be deceptive, especially if a lob or drop shot is being prepared. Keep watching the ball and react to its movements, rather than those of your opponent, as this allows for quicker reactions and more time to select your return shot.
