AMA: Baseline Role, Backhand Volley Fix, How to Beat 2-up, & More
About this episode
This AMA episode covers a variety of topics, including net position, formations, and strategy frameworks. A few of the lessons are from a tight mixed doubles match that I recently played, while the others are from Tennis Tribe Members.
- When is I-formation a bad idea?
- Why I recently told my partner to stand in two different positions on my return points.
- When should the baseline player change something? (including how to handle inactive partners at net)
- Members only: My backhand volley pops up and floats every time. How do I fix it?
- Members only: How and when to add new strokes to your game. In this case, a semi-western forehand.
- Members only: What to do against two tall players who rush the net.
- Members only: The deuce court returner has a great crosscourt forehand. What should we do?
We only have 2 rooms left for the Rally Trip at the US Open!
