Thank you very much for the marvellous site.
Nick, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

Coach serves second serve from Deuce/Advantage side. Player responds with return as a drop shot.

COACHING POINTS

Taking advantage over a weak second serve is a necessity to become a serious player. Weak second serve is like a short ball so players have to use this ball to put a pressure on the opponent or to win the point. Drop shot is a great tool to accomplish this task and players should practice it from time to time. Coaches should explain that many players move back after the weak serve because they expect powerful shot so they are not ready to quickly move forward. This situation is even more important on hard courts where players can't slide so without decent athletic skills, every drop shot will favor returner to win the point.
