Bevel 2: Continental grip - good for backhand, weak forehand; used at the kitchen for dinks, volleys and drives
Bevel 3: Eastern grip - neutral on both sides; for serves and smashes
Bevel 4: Semi-western - great for top-spin, weak backhand

Aim for your opponents feet, making it harder for them to return. Between the feet and shins, aim for the shin because it’s a harder shot to return.
A third shot dink gives you enough time to run up to the net.
You want to be as close to the kitchen as possible, giving your opponents lesser room.
Imagine there is a thread connecting you and the ball. It pull you as the ball moves. That helps you understand what your optimal position should be.
Control and consistency are key elements to the game.
Hit high percentage shots.
A dink down the line is a little harder because the net is higher there.
Apply pressure with your court positioning.

Running back and forth switching grips. Eastern while moving back, continental while moving front

For anyone curious, the names of the different grip styles come from tennis, where players from different regions (“Eastern” US, “Western” US, and “Continental” Europe) used different grips to accommodate for the varying bounce of the ball on surface types used predominantly in each region.
