Agree with Cindy above - you can do it from both sides, but in the case I mentioned, we did it to basically take the wife out of the play as much as possible, because she was much steadier than her husband and my partner. We played 2 on 1 with the guy as much as we could, and most of the time he couldn't stay with us because he couldn't get to my partner's backhand.
