A long point between Filip Rams/Mike Wagner and Tyler Fraser/Adam Morgan emphasizes the importance of staying in the Circle of Trust—the net team’s deuce side player’s position so that his/her teammate can take the majority of the overheads. When the deuce side net player switches the ball to the No Zone—the baseline deuce player's forehand—it causes a shift at the net often leading to confusion and positioning mistakes. Watch the video to see it in action.
