Being a drop short whore is nothing to be proud of. :lol: I remember the duel we played against each other. By the end of the match they were coming on everyone point. Drop shots are a lot easier to deal with when you can see them coming especially when your already on or inside the baseline.

if i need to....lol and i did against u. you smothered the court and those topspin shots were deep. i struggled to hold serve everytime. couldnt ace u, my return game sucked, couldnt last through the rally, going to net didnt work-all my option were exhausted except my trusty drop shots, and you got those too.

if being a dropshot whore gives me the win, well dropshot whore i am for that match.

and i want revenge by the way

I have yet to play DMG, but it sounds like we'd both be at the net

 

[dynamoRockstarr]

Do you rush to the net Cara? OR do you sneak in after the drop shot?

Sneak in mostly :lol: Although I've been accused of going up there at the worst possible times only to be passed.

 

[dynamoRockstarr]

high five!!! i sneak in too lol

Drop shots are just as bad as risk shots. And a lot of people mistake a well-timed normal shot for a risk one. There is no way to keep this rule perfect. :shrug:

I agree that it is nearly impossible to tell if someone is using a riskshot during a normal rally. But when someone is hitting hard winners from difficult angles on the run or making unusual errors out of nowhere, than that's a different story.

I can't really say much about the drop shots, I haven't faced that many yet.

even that is tough... i've made random errors out of nowhere without using a risk shot. sometimes when your player is really fatigued they will spray balls regardless of what kind of shot it is.

and as far as the drop shots, i don't see the problem. i think we need a little variety in playing styles. :shrug:

 

[Renalicious]

I agree, sometimes a player makes random errors without a risk shot. There really is a blurred line with this - it can never be solved the way we want it to.

just accept it. if you are clearly out of the point and your opponent finishes the rally with a powerful shot, accept it. if you are out of position in a rally and they aren't and can hit a hard ball accept it.

if timing the ball is all you're trying to do, get better at it, especially if you can't keep up with the powerful exchanges. but the other buttons are there for a reason.

I don't know. I know for sure when a power risk shot is used. To me there is a definite difference, why would you have the option to hit such a shot in the first place? You definitely can't hit a perfectly timed flat shot that's the same as the risk shot. If the opponent has more power you're out of luck, you'll be bullied in the point (the case being both of you are just using the a button).

Why would the makers of the game make this shot an option and have it be similar to a regular "a" flat shot?? You can notice a difference.

there was a need for Dr. Phil realist talk about this issue lol.

I don't think anyone has a problem with someone getting an easy put away from a powderpuff, but it's on the run shots that come out with angles you didn't expect is what usually gets me, not sure if anyone else is saying otherwise.

Right trigger shots give your power not angles. If someone if hitting extreme angles on the run they are probably using L trigger shots which are allowed.

I know, I've played this game since 2008 :lol: I'm not a noob, and people can use both at once.

Very hard to do on the run and be successful.

 

[northern lad]

hold on... we ARE allowed to use L trigger shots in rallies? :speakles:
