Tip:
With the dominance of today’s power baseline game, the art of transitioning to the net to finish out a point has become a rare sight. Players either win points outright by hitting winners from the baseline, or they’re simply uncomfortable moving in to the net.
But playing at the net can still be just as effective as a power baseline rally. The key is to have a smart and solid transition game, which starts with a strategically placed approach shot and proper court coverage.
Tennisresources.com has a large number of videos that can help a player improve his strategy with the transition game, making him more confident and comfortable when moving in to the net. Simply go to www.tennisresources.com and enter the words “approach shot” into the Quick Search field. There, you can find tips on how a player can successfully use the approach shot to move forward and put himself into the best position to close out a point.
