I think it was Confucius, or Lucius, or some such great PB player, who said 'the square of the length of the hypotenuse...' equals a really great shot (i can't remember the exact quote); here's a little 'cute' advice to help you with angles as you get closer to the net...
Hey, ya ain't Babe Ruth, so stop swinging for the fences, esp on your volleys - instead, 'lean into' this bit of advice and reach new heights as your opponents say "holy cannoli, now that's a real bambino of a shot!"
Like Pumba sez, 'ya gotta put your behind in your past...' well, at least ya gotta use it more to be effective at the line in PB, so stop being a straight up kind of guy or gal and get down on it to make your opponents stand up and take notice!
If you want to control the roadway, make sure you understand how to drive on the bridges and tunnels of PB! Defend on the right 'structure' and you'll finish way ahead of your opponents.
You may not be Usain Bolt (or be able to imitate his iconic pose) but I bet you can return serves better than him if you'll just remember these few tips that will help you sprint past your opponents to the medal stand!
Stop blaming your paddle for those bad shots and look instead at your piggies! These little oinkers need to make some noise first in order to make your opponents come in last!
Wanna drive your opponents crazy? Learn the difference between your engine and steering wheel when it comes to efficient and effective PB shots and watch them in the rearview mirror as you drive your way to victory lane!
Prairie Dogs are SOOO cute... on the prairie, but NOT on the PB court! Stop popping up on your shots and you'll have your opponents yelping for mercy when ya sic 'em with some sick strokes!

The key to FH topspin is 'drawing the right number' and figuring out 'what time it is' - do these things and you'll be way ahead of your time on the PB court!

Ever watch great volleyball players digging the ball? Perfect balance, keeping the ball between their shoulders, using their legs to guide the ball to the setter. These are the same skills needed to reset the ball from the transition zone so that you and your partner can turn D into O ASAP - so get groovy with these hints, can ya dig it?
Remember the good ol' days in the 70s when everybody hitchhiked? Well, maybe not everybody, but a few did, and they all used their thumb to indicate that they needed to get somewhere. Use this hitchhiker technique to 'arrive at your destination' with the backhand roll volley and let's make this old mode of transportation the new way to get where you need to go at the net!
Toucan Sam always knew best! "For the flavor of fruit, just follow my snoot..." Lateral movement at the kitchen line depends on the correct first move, and it has nothing to do with your feet! The nose knows, so let it be your guide and sniff your way to dominating the dink game...
'Salute the red, white, and blue' isn't just a great thing to remember every day as you move through life; it's also good to remember as you move from baseline to kitchen, and how you should 'act' in every region.
Arrrgh, mateys! Don't you just hate missing slice shots, and don't you also dread playing someone who can slice and dice you to pieces? Relax, sit back, and enjoy the flight bc we've got just the ticket to make it a smooth and pleasant journey...
Anytime you are pulled wide at the kitchen line, relax! Don't try to do too much, don't go for the hero shot; instead, simply reset the ball softly to the middle 'T' and gain time for recovery as your opponents have to wait for the ball to bounce and then decide who's going to take it. Your partner will say, "Yes, please, I'd like s'mores" while your opponents will say 'no mas!'
Get down low, use those legs, and make sure Baby stays asleep while you dink your opponents into a slumber...
