I play with a number of folks on a social basis. It is competitive, but not tournament play. In particular, some folks are less mobile than the pros in the videos, and some have reflexes unsuitable for the NVZ fast game. Nonetheless, some can place any ball they can reach with spectacular accuracy. I have been looking for strategies or tactics appropriate for partners with mixed abilities. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHi. Does anyone know how I can read White’s statistical analysis? The link does not work.
ReplyDeleteThanks
I contacted Noel a couple of years ago about the broken link. Unfortunately, he indicated the analysis and data was lost due to computer issues. He was to contact me if he found or recaptured it, but he never has. It was a good piece of work and seems to be lost forever.
