ORDER Every Shot: On-Balance → React → Decide → Execute → Recover

Summary

John Cincola’s ORDER roadmap puts a pro-style process on every ball: On-balance (split-step, paddle ready) as they contact, React with efficient footwork, Decide the shot, Execute, Recover so you can repeat.

Even the non-hitter should react by improving position or balancing the partner’s move.

Key takeaways

• On-balance before their contact
• React → Decide → Execute → Recover every cycle
• Off-ball partner still reacts

Action items

• Say ORDER steps under your breath for one practice game
• Freeze after each shot and check recovery before the next ball
