Three Mistakes That Keep You Stuck at 4.0
Summary
Tanner lists three mistakes that keep players stuck at the 4.0 level. First, driving two balls in a row: if you drive the first one, drop the next one. Second, dropping your paddle between shots instead of keeping it out in front and ready.
Third, running through your shots. Instead, split step, hit, and then move.
