Choosing Return Sides in Doubles (Deuce or Ad)

Will Boucek Episode 124

In doubles, choosing the correct return side is one of the most important decisions you'll make with your partner before each match. It's also one of the most misunderstood topics by club-level doubles players.

In this episode, I'll cover how to think about choosing return sides and share a recent example where I moved my partner to the ad side even though they preferred their forehand.

There are two BIG myths that you might be using when it comes to choosing return sides that I'll dispel as well.
