They are short but as you say their hearts are in the right place. That said, I think many of them are drunk as it's really hard for them to stay still and not fall over. (We are talking about the rackets, right?)
Thanks for the great detailed video coach! Just regarding shot #2, doesn’t hitting so as to bring the ball back that far towards the middle width-wise of the court potentially leave you vulnerable? Because you won’t be able to take position on the T as your opponent needs to be able to hit towards any part of the front wall?
Yes, you are right, that is a possibility. In English, we have a phrase "the lesser of two evils". This means that I would prefer to be slightly off the T position (to allow my opponent space to hit the front wall) than allow them the opportunity to volley the ball mid-court with me at the front. Often, amateurs don't practice hitting the ball into the corner from the middle, and consequently mistime their drive and find it hits the side wall and bounces short.
Loving your opponents! They're quite stiff but they have their heart in the right place

Just go a bit towards the side of the T
Agreed, curious what coach has to say about this! :)

Agreed, you will need to give them a little extra space.
I have replied to the main comment. Let me know if you still have doubts or questions.
