Question

What is the Australian Formation? And is the I-Formation a different formation or are they the same?

Answer 1

the australian formation is when the person at the net stays at the same side of the court as the server. this is to cut off the angle and make the opponent go for the more difficult down the line shot. most used for second serves. the i formation is when the net person stays at the middle of the service line and points to what side of the court they are going behind their backs. they both go to different sides and hope that they hit it to the net person. good for confusing your opponent. the I formation is not a smart decision on a second serve though. hope this helps
