Four axis reads.
Every letter in IAVE is one of the four DinkType™ axes. Here's how each one shows up in this archetype's game.
A
Court energy Assertive
Drives tactics, calls positioning, sets the tempo — the partner can lean on this for the next move.
V
Risk appetite Venturous
Tries the bold attempt — the third-shot lob, the ATP, the creative kitchen exchange. Bigger ceiling.
E
Emotional read Expressive
Energy is visible — fist pumps, big calls, audible exhales. Rallies the team with body language.
