The art of approaching
In today’s tennis, most of the points are won from the baseline, often after long, energy-sapping rallies. This makes knowing how and when to approach the net to end points sooner all the more important during the course of a match. In this episode, USPTA Elite Professional Mark Bey focuses on approach patterns and the essential footwork technique critical for success. If coming to the net is an area where you lack confidence, or something you just want to add to your arsenal, this video is a must-have! In this video you will learn the skills and technique needed when approaching the net, including the “slice backhand approach,” “left foot or right foot,” and “ripping through the sidelines” drills.
Serve and volley
Learn how to serve and volley with Grand Slam champion and USPTA Elite Professional Hank Pfister. See how to hit a proper serve and where to hit it to set up your shot for a volley, discover where the split step should occur, and find out how to hit an effective volley and half-volley. You’ll see examples of the shots, get one-on-one tips from Hank and gain the insight you need to start implementing this strategy. By forcing your opponent to react to you instead of you reacting to him or her, you’ll shorten your matches, so get into the mind of a serve-and-volleyer in this fun episode! In this DVD, you will learn the technique required to be an effective serve-and-volleyer. You’ll also gain an understanding of where to place your serve, when to split step and where to direct the volley you’re expecting on the return.
