Hardbat Doubles Partner
Strategy
Tuan Nguyen Asked 14 years ago
Currently, I play doubles with a hardbat player who likes to smash the ball. What kind of serves, serve returns, and general hits can I do to help make it possible for my partner to smash it back? I use a grippy inverted rubber that is still pretty new if that helps. Thanks a bunch

Hi Tuan,
I would do some simple backspin and no spin serves to help your partner with getting an attacking ball. If you make the serve too complicated it will make it more difficult for him.
