High Balls

Strategy

Hi Alois,

I often use 'balloon balls', especially when returning service. The result is that most of my opponents are able to hit hard shots back, putting me under immediate pressure.

I know that the solution to my problem is keeping my shots low. My question is: do you have any tips that could help me implement this?

Hi Paul,

Think about playing with more spin and keeping the ball deep on the other side.  Of course keeping it lower will help greatly.

Do you mean keep to the high balls but put more spin on them and place them deep?
