What Makes Ben Johns SO GOOD?

What Makes Ben Johns So Good? (Strengths, Weaknesses + 2K Rating Card) | Ep. 2 I break down why Ben Johns has stayed at or near #1 since the PPA Tour began in February 2020, including his dominant 2026 results with Gabe Tardio in men’s doubles and with Anna Leigh Waters in mixed. I explain how he absorbs others’ innovations—especially the backhand roll and the newer backhand flick and why his precise, patient dinking and elite pattern recognition make opponents press into bad offense. I cover how his lack of a glaring weakness, plus smart partner selection, has helped him win hundreds of gold medals. Then I detail his relative weaknesses—speed-ups when his reads are off, predictability, occasional stubbornness, and motivation—highlighting how he patched a forehand-off-the-bounce issue after Mesa. I finish with a 2K-style rating card and overall evaluation.
