New style of receive
Service Return
Josef Novy Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois,
I noticed an untypical stroke when receiving - starting from backhand finishing on forehand -
like the one that is played here https://youtu.be/6B9loBc1DPI?t=429
Is it anything one should try to copy in amateur level and what is it actually good for ?
Thanks,
Regards
Josef

Hi Josef,
This is an interesting variation of a long push. It is basically a long push with sidespin. Try it out and see if it works for you.
You need to use it as a surprise tactic otherwise it will be too easy to attack.

Looks like something halfway between a long push and a banana flick (bat goes upwards) that helps her lifting the ball over the net (the serve seams to have a bit of backspin).
Nice match by the way, thanks for sharing! You know you'll see something interesting when the video is 55 minutes long. Smiling players, even a little playful at times (especially Renata), attacking style, and for once no Tchooooing! So pleasurable to watch. Will try to find more matches of these ladies.
