When I’m finding that backhand on the deuce side I do feel like going down the line often and when I have an outside groundstroke like a forehand I’m going cross most of the time so I agree with your opinion!
@@2MinuteTennisI would argue the percentage moves closer to (not exactly) 50/50 because an inside-out forward hand from the inside ground is easier than a backhand inside-out ground stroke. But in general, this is legit.
not a fan of that inside ground stroke thing, im righty with double hander backhand and in the exact same position as that serve for that returner i actually am more comfortable sending the ball inside out to the server, even if the server's partner was not on the net
I undertand the opinion, however in my eyes i would cover the ally on the first serve regardless of position especially if its a good serve but i would also cover it on an extremly bad serve or groundstroke, as for when to poach i think poaching should happen if your partner hits a good baseline shot that forces the opponenet to hit another shot right back cross court since it is higher percentage, of course if they somehow hit it down the line, good for them, but my personal opinion
All this is good but when you stand near the net, if you also watch whether the opponent is hitting a inside-shot or an outside-shot then your chances of judging for correct movement will automatically go up even more.
This is a good point but if that serve is good enough you should always be poaching. If they hit that line ball good for them, they’re not making that shot consistently
I thought the conventional knowledge was for the server's partner to follow the ball? A lot of other videos say that if the server serves out wide, the returner has more space to it down the line and so the returner should scooch to cover the alley? But you're saying the opposite.

Tried this today and it works! Coach never taught us this. Thanks.
Great point but ignores the reactivity of the player returning -- they can eventually pick up on patterns at a high enough playing standard.
You are correct. But 99% of players don’t notice things like this so you can get away with it more than you think.
Fair point
Thanks for featuring me! Amazing advice as always 😊

I understood that coach ryan ❤,.. copy that!!
Thanks Ryan, very helpful. Is this strategy still true if the returner is left handed?
Yes. Inside and outside ground strokes work the same for lefties and righties.
@@2MinuteTennis Perfect…thank you, Coach Ryan!

I think if the returner is pulled really wide, then yes, that is the case.

Yea, what you are saying makes some sense. 👍
I agree!

Correct. I’m saying the opposite. The only thing you can do is try out both ways over a few matches and see what works best. Thanks!!
How does this work in doubles?
It works for reading where your opponent will go on a return
