James Willstrop, the former World #1, is known as “the Marksman” on tour for his laser-like accuracy. While most players retire in their early 30s, Willstrop has shown exactly what it takes to PLAY and WIN against the very best no matter your age.
 
Willstrop recently reached the late rounds of several major tournaments, taking out top 10 ranked opponents on his way. How did he do it? Through his effective usage of drop shots, tight length, holds, and lobs. The best part about his tactics? You can use them too, no matter your age!
 
In the video linked to this article, Ahad Raza dives deep into what makes Willstrop so good, even at 38! Learn the physical position needed for a drop shot and how to hit Willstrop’s SIGNATURE “long drop”, how to hit tight length from anywhere on court, and why Willstrop’s holds are so effective!
 
Using these examples, Ahad will allow you to make adjustments to your own game to win, no matter you age. You will also gain appreciation for just how impressive Willstrop’s success is!
