Spacing
Look at whether the team is using both-back to buy time, defend lobs better, or reset the shape of the point.
Transition
The key is not just staying back. It is understanding which ball or cue allows the team to regain pressure.
Application
Use this idea when your normal net shape is breaking down, when the other team is lobbing well, or when a more stable both-back reset makes tactical sense.
