PAQ Methodology

Observe

Collect cues: ball speed/height, opponent paddle angle, partner depth, and spacing. Build a quick mental court map every touch.

Anticipate

Estimate the next two likely shots and their payoffs. Use simple probabilities to prefer options that keep you neutral or gaining.

Decide

Apply compact rules (if serve deep + partner retreats → 3rd ball drop; if opponent leans middle → go line). Fewer rules, faster play.

Execute

Commit with footwork and paddle path. Log outcomes, then iterate with targeted reps to tighten the loop from perception to action.
