Nothing changes the vibe of a match like acknowledging a genuinely great shot from the other side, even one that just cost you the point. It costs nothing, takes half a second, and turns a tense rally into a game people actually enjoy playing. Are you the type to give credit when it's due, or too locked into the score to notice?

Be honest — how many of you skip the warm-up and just start rallying cold? A quick five minutes of light movement and arm swings before you play can save you from that annoying shoulder tweak or ankle roll mid-game. It's not exciting, but neither is sitting out for two weeks with an injury. What's your go-to warm-up before a match?
