Excuses! Why Don't Club Players Use More I-Formation?
Update: 2025-10-10
Description
I recently posted an Instagram video asking why club doubles players don't use I-Formation. It now has over 210,000 views and 100 comments, many of which are excuses.
In this episode, I break down the five most common excuses and share my rebuttal. I hope that this will convince some of you to start using serve formations more often to help you win matches.
Here are the excuses...
- "Our serves aren't good enough."
- "I'll get hit in the back of the head by my partner's serve."
- "Club players are too slow."
- "The net player would be too scared." OR "the net position isn't fun."
- "The returner will rip down the line."
- At the end, I share the only valid reason to never use I-Formation.
