I thought it was NO trigger shots during rallies

That is correct. Neither you or me, used them today. As I said, you can increase the pace of your shots by simply doing this :

1. Hold in the X all the time
2. Release right after the bounce

You can ask anyone, I'm too retarded to deploy right risk shots in rally.

 

[Andrew Laeddis]

Some of you need to read the rules

L trigger shots ARE allowed in rallies.

R trigger shots were banned because certain players dont know how to use or defend against them and wanted to punish those who do players complained that the shots were too hard and unrealistic.

L triggers pretty much help with placement. They dont add any additional power. Without them it difficult to hit really good angles. Tennis without angles isnt really tennis so I guess Cara saw no point in banning them. With that said I'm sure once some time has passed players will want them to be banned as well. I also think I remember someone suggesting that risk serves be banned.

 

[Maria Croft]

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

Wait...what?!

i wish i had known

Me too, I've said several times in topics that no risk shots were allowed, why didn't anyone speak up and say that the L trigger shots are allowed?

I thought it was NO trigger shots during rallies

So did I.

Why the hell would the other trigger shot be allowed? There are both risk shots

 

[Caralenko]

I never used them either, but I haven't updated the rules and they say that L triggers were allowed. I wrote the damn thing and I didn't even remember.

 

[Renalicious]

Whatever, all triggers should be allowed.

 

[Andrew Laeddis]

L trigger shots should be allowed. Banning angles and well placed shots would be stupid. Using the L trigger shots is also the only way to hit a really good moonball.

I rarely use them (except in 1 or duels I've played) because I can get a somewhat decent angle with just the regular top spin shot if I have enough time to set up the shot. My game is also based more around depth/power than angles so I dont have a big need for them a lot of the time but I still think they should be allowed. The L trigger shots are pretty realistic.

i thought when we said risk shots were banned, i thought everyone assumed the R Trigger since that is what most complained about in the first place.

when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me.

and i think we're all pretty much guilty of it

 

[dynamoRockstarr]

but really though, that's what all the big fuss was about.

 

[Justin SW]

all triggers shall be denied on both returns and rally. Serve being the only element where you can use it

 

[dynamoRockstarr]

hmmmm....that would definitely make things a little more competitive.

could you explain your reasoning for your suggestion??

 

[youizahoe]

@ Marco : Return should stay. Otherwise the ones with the best serves will always win (even though it would benefit me a lot) :lol:

 

[Justin SW]

Well I think thats what tennis is all about...ALG is leading the tour currently cause she owns the Risk Returns...if we take that of her she is as good as a player as most of us COULD be :shrug:

Plus womens tennis is not about making 3 Return winners in only one game

 

[Justin SW]

Btw duel anyone ?!?!

 

[youizahoe]

If I serve well, people barely make points on my serve with normal returns. I like a challenge, without those returns it'll be boring.

 

[youizahoe]

L returns are still easy enough to return back as a winner

Yes because risk returns are the only reason I'm leading the tour. The excellent timing on my groundstrokes have nothing to with it. :lol: Banning R trigger returns wouldnt hurt me. My serve is huge so I would hardly lose a point on serve.

With risk returns breaks of serve would be scarce which is the exact opposite of womens tennis which is full of breaks. Those without big serves (Dementieva, Safina etc) would also be at a bigger disadvantage.

 

[Andrew Laeddis]

I agree. Most players miss their fair share of risk returns anyway so them hitting 3 return winners in one game is probably rare.

If you'd notice I said we (COULD) in big letters. I meant by that....we need more practice of those groundies but potentially if we practicie them we would...be

Wouldnt the same apply to returns. Its not like I'm unbeatable now. I've played very challenging matches against darkchild, Summon and Cara. I simply won the crucial points/games in those matches but Im very beatable. No point in banning anymore shots. By the time the FO comes around everyone will probably have greatly improved and the tour as whole will be more competitive.
