Taking advantage of superior attack

Kyle Uy Asked 11 years ago

Hi Alois and Jeff!

During my last few matches, i found that my opponents did not have a good attack, and could not defend my attacks.

i want to attack first, so can you suggest a serve that will allow me to attack the return?

What kind of shots should i use to get an attackable ball back?

thx

Hi Kyle,

Serving short will stop your opponent from attacking your serve.  Then you need to think about what type of serve will get the best response for you.  Often a short topspin serve will force them to hit the ball higher for you.  You can also use a combination of backspin and no spin serves.  SO when you do the no spin serve they will put it a bit higher and allow you to attack.

We also have a lesson on Third Ball Tips in our Master Classes for Premium members as well as lessons in our Match Strategy lessons around 3rd ball attack.
