How do you handle advice from your doubles partner?

Search all you want. You will find I have taken opposite positions on pretty much every issue.

Mitt Romney is my mentor.

I was part of one of those 'don't look back' conversations. I said I don't it. But about 2 months ago I played a USTA match that afterwards had me thinking about my post. I realized I look back more than I think I do. I always look to help my partner make close calls. I look when we're momentarily confused, like maybe we need to switch after a lob or I let something get past that I know I should've cut off. I look when I think my partner might be in trouble. But I don't look back at rally balls when I think I know what my partner's going to do with them. I watch the opponents and try to read and capitalize on their reactions. I only lost 1 USTA match this Summer and I felt like I watched every ball that partner hit. I had no clue what she was going to do because that chick hardly ever did what I expected her to. So I modify my standpoint. I do look back, but only if I have to.
