Use the Kitchen as a Safe Zone
Summary
Kyle Koszuta reframes the kitchen line as your friend, not just an attack zone. When you are under pressure, a soft, shallow ball into the kitchen strips away some of the aggression a higher ball would invite.
That is why pro points linger in long dink exchanges: the soft game buys safety and resets the point when a drive or pop would hand the other team a kill.
Key takeaways
- The kitchen is a safe area when you are in trouble
- Soft and shallow takes away opponent aggression
- Pros dink a lot because it protects them
Action items
- In scrambles, choose a soft kitchen ball instead of a high escape
- Play a game where your only reset option is a shallow kitchen float
