Episode Description

This AMA episode covers a variety of topics, including net position, formations, and strategy frameworks. A few of the lessons are from a tight mixed doubles match that I recently played, while the others are from Tennis Tribe Members.

  1. When is I-formation a bad idea?
  2. Why I recently told my partner to stand in two different positions on my return points.
  3. When should the baseline player change something? (including how to handle inactive partners at net)
  4. Members only: My backhand volley pops up and floats every time. How do I fix it?
  5. Members only: How and when to add new strokes to your game. In this case, a semi-western forehand.
  6. Members only: What to do against two tall players who rush the net.
  7. Members only: The deuce court returner has a great crosscourt forehand. What should we do?

We only have 2 rooms left for the Rally Trip at the US Open!
