I’ve got a time sensitive BONUS lesson offer for you which is detailed below, but first, here’s a quick look at a serve and backhand volley sequence in singles.

There are a couple of things that I want you to really study, but the most important one is the decision of where to play your backhand volley that should determined by where you are on the court at the time of that volley…

Serve and volley tennis is a lot of fun, risky at times, but if you practice enough and sort of de-sensitize yourself to that concern of being passed by your opponent, the end result is you put a ton of pressure on your opponent to have to hit better returns of serve, and the consequence has a real ripple effect…

• More missed returns of serve;
• more missed passing shots;
• more serving errors on their part as they realize they have to hold serve because you’re holding serve easily;
• and on and on…

Here’s chapter 11 of my Serve & Volley lesson DVD…

This is a full one hour detailed lesson where we work on all of the elements of solid serve & volley technique:

(Videos are DVD quality on the lesson’s DVD.  These samples above had to be compressed for the blog because of file size)

• The serve & volley philosophy.  You gotta see the forest for the trees…
• It’s always about court positioning (where you are on the court at any given moment) and occasionally about shot execution
• How to come out of your serve motion on balance and ready to efficiently move forward into the court
• How, where, & when to split stop (step) your feet for your transitional shot and why “spacing” to that transitional shot just may be the most important aspect of serve and volley tennis
• How & where to play that transitional shot whether it’s a volley, 1/2 volley, or approach shot
• How & where to play your following shot once you get up inside the service line
• Experience:  The philosophy that becoming a good solid serve and volley player in both singles and doubles is totally dependent on you simply putting in your learning time

Once you learn and practice your new 1/2 volley, your opponents will realize that low returns of serve to your feet just don’t bother you.  That starts the cycle of them going for bigger and bigger returns of serve which equates to lots of unforced errors and free points for you.  Now that’s what I’m talking about…

Recent VonCramm Cup teammate Brian Cheney spent some time with me on the phone this morning discussing our most recent topic on how we go from Plan A to Plan B if things aren’t working for us during a match.

Brain Cheney - Far Right

As you may know, Brian is one of the really wonderful ambassadors for tennis around the world. Born into arguably one of the great tennis families of all time, Brian has won over 50 national singles and doubles titles, has been nationally ranked #1 in his age group many many times, and has won world titles and has also held the #1 world ranking before.

This guy continues to teach on court a ton of hours every week and is just relentless with his teaching schedule, his tournament schedule, and his deep love for the game of tennis. If any of us had 10% of his skill and achievement levels in any of these areas, we’d be world class!

Alright, enough love fest here, let’s get into what Brian had to say about this topic of changing playing styles during the course of a match, specifically when whatever you’re doing out there is not translating into winning games.

Here’s what Brian had to say…

One of the points Brian brought up that I think is so valuable is we don’t have to make enormous changes to our strategy to affect big changes in how we present shots to our opponents.

For example, with your groundstrokes, think of playing different heights over the net, different shot shapes (flat, topspin, slice), different depths, different shot speeds, you get the picture, subtle differences in how your shots appear to your opponents can sometimes be enough to change from a losing pattern to a winning one.

My friend and tennis teaching colleague, Ken DeHart, made some great points recently in a comment to one of my blog posts on how to change from plan a to plan b when things aren’t going so well in a match.

I then posted Ken’s comments here.

I just got off the phone with Ken this morning and we discussed why so many club level players don’t want to practice and what are some ways to encourage them to improve.

Here’s my telephone interview with Ken…

So, paint that picture inside your head of the benefits of practice , not the drudgery of it, but what’s the eventual payoff going to look like, what’s it going to feel like, you know, all of the good stuff..

No more excuses. Get out there today, tomorrow, the next few days, but shove 30 minutes into your schedule, and get the first session done and in the books. And then do the same next week…
