I think there's hope for #3. I can hit them, just not that well from a neutral position. I certainly can't blast it like I can my up the middle or crosscourt shots. I think in time I'll be able to hit this pretty well though.
I literally have all of the touch shots, just none of the power ones. Hence why my serves, forehand, and volleys aren't the best (all consistent and I can execute very tough slices and drop shots with volleys and the forehand, just not much power)
Second serve is probably the worst. Drop shots are very on or off. Sometimes good, sometimes barely reach net or are lobs:lol: Lobs are the same; sometimes very good or really bad.
I forgot to add I'm bad when stretched out wide on the backhand side (I don't have the best reach on that side) so in that instance I hit a right-handed forehand instead of a backhand (like Sharapova except reverse ). Surprisingly an OK shot I think :lol:.
I think it's changed. Now it's just my shot selection is awful. I was standing at the net during a doubles match and a FH volley came right to me, slightly above eye level, and I smashed it down as hard as I could. Into the net. At my feet.
Forehand DL, Backhand DL, I need to improve serve for sure, I don't use volleys at all, even my forehand cross court is a mess often. Quite a lot shots huh? :/
This. Even though I don't have problems with double faults, my serve is so weak. I don't know how fast it is, but I would say max 70/80 km/h. :lol:
I never hit a smash becouse I don't know how to hit it good. The ball is just to slow if I try. I don't use volleys eather, but sometimes I execute a drop shot (not always intentionally :lol: )
Anyone saying the serve, you can practise it even by yourself. You don't even need to be on a tennis court to practise your toss and the toss is the key to a good serve. I used to have a bad serve but now I can get it in almost all the time, it won't be a big serve but it's in.
Volleys, you can't practise. Also, if you're a strong baseliner, there's little incentive to practise volleys. I like hitting swing volleys though.
My slice is actually not too bad but in a game situation again, my first instinct isn't to slice the ball back.
Forehand down the line
I hit with some top spin, and it's harder to hit it down the line with top spin
Oh yeah, and my smash is horrendous, it's ridiculous.. I guess it's because I mess up with grips. The grip should be like when you're serving, right? Instead, I choose a western grip like on my FH, and the ball flies to the right side to the fence
