The Precision Artist
Placement over power — you find gaps and force errors with angles.
You don't overpower — you outthink. Your game is built on placement, consistency, and reading the opponent. You find the gaps, play to the corners, and force errors with intelligent, well-placed shots.

Training Drills
Placement Drill
Partner feeds random, you return to a specific spot (e.g., crosscourt wide FH). Change the target every 10 balls. Develops precision under pressure.
Pattern Play
3-ball pattern: serve, return, 3rd ball attack to a pre-set location. Builds tactical muscle memory.
Short Game Mastery
Focus on soft touches near the net — controlled pushes, drops, and short flicks. The Artist wins the short game before the rally begins.
