May 1, 2012 By Brent 75 Comments
Doubles is a funny game at times. Especially if the point goes past 3-4 shots. We're all pretty organized for those 4 shots it seems, but once the point develops past those first few shots, it can get a little helter skelter in terms of court positioning and shot selection.
