3 Targets to Create Offense Without Hitting Harder

Summary

Kyle Koszuta’s longer lesson on creating offense without adding pace. Instead of muscling winners, aim three high-percentage targets that force weak counters or pop-ups. Extends the short version of the same idea into a fuller practice framework for intermediate players who overhit under pressure.

Key takeaways

  • Placement creates offense; pace is optional
  • Have 2–3 default attack targets memorized
  • Weak replies > low-percentage blasts
  • Match target to opponent’s stance/grip

Action items

  • Write your three targets on tape on your paddle throat
  • Live points: only attack those targets for one game
  • Track how often the reply is attackable
  • Cue: ‘target first, pace second’
