5x Club Doubles Players Should Stop Missing

5x Club Doubles Players Should Stop Missing

Author: Will Boucek June 23, 2022 Duration: 21:51

 All of the time I play people who have a bigger serve, better forehand, and more technically-sound volleys than me.

If we played a singles match they would win, if a coach fed us balls they would look much better, and shot-for-shot I could never beat them.

But, I don’t have to. Too many of these players manage to beat themselves. Maybe you are that player.

If you find yourself making too many errors, especially when it comes to shot selection, then this episode could raise your NTRP rating by .5 or more.

During this episode, we’ll focus on five scenarios where you can start making fewer mistakes and winning more points.

A few of the questions answered include:

  • What should my first serve strategy be in doubles?
  • What should I do with a short, wide ball?
  • Do I always need to hit volleys at the opposing net player?
  • How do I take advantage of transition volleys?

Ultimately, to win more tennis matches, it’s important to play high-percentage rather than hitting hard. After listening, you’ll better understand what to do in key doubles situations.
