Tennis Drop Volley

June 22, 2009 By Brent Leave a Comment

The drop volley…


Over the past few years, the drop volley for me is clearly my biggest improvement as an “all-court” player.

Just the threat that at any moment you might be playing a short volley and forcing your opponent to move way up into the court creates a lot of benefits for you.

There are several key fundamentals to all of the drop shots, one of them being disguise…

I’m hoping to finish a new downloadable & DVD lesson this week on:
_____________________________

…The Drop Shots…
  1. Baseline
  2. Approach
  3. 1/2 Volley,
  4. Volley,
  5. Return of Serve,
  6. & Returning An Opponent’s Drop Shot
Why, When, Where, How, 2 Shot Strategy, How to Practice
_____________________________

That’s right. There are generally 6 opportunities for you to play a form of a drop shot.

This new lesson will cover each one of those situations in detail.

I want your feedback. What is your #1 challenge with your drop shots? What specific situation do you find yourself in? What errors do you perceive you make with dropshots?

Just let me know via email to brent@webtennis.net. Be as specific as you possibly can. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Serve Tossing Motion – It's In The Shoulder

June 18, 2009 By Brent 3 Comments

My serve tossing motion used to be a mess. I was all over the map in terms of never knowing where my toss was going to actually end up.


I’d look up there and just hope the ball would be somewhere in the vicinity of where I was trying to toss.

My tossing wrist was the problem and consequently I had zero confidence in both my 1st and 2nd serves.

Those days are fortunately long gone for me…

Tom Stow really helped me with the two aspects of my toss. One of them we recently discussed and that was how to hold the ball.

The other fundamental he gave me was to “feel” the ball in my shoulder. Huh…?

That’s right, Tom wanted all of us to start the toss with our front shoulder.

And my apologies to my extremely good friend and often doubles partner Steve Cornell for referencing his tossing motion. He knows I mean well…!

So, get out there this week and practice your toss and try to start your motion from your front shoulder allowing your tossing arm to stay straight as you move your arm up to the finish position of the toss.

Also, make sure you read my post below from yesterday…
