Will, this is incredible!You definitely have talent to teach the game. I’m YouTubing for 7 years and seeing teaching tools no one’s done. Keep it up ! I’ve got to think of a worthy question for you.
You definitely can't worry about getting passed as you close into the net. Tactics is about controlling the percentages and taking away the high percentage shots and leaving only the tails of the shot distribution curve to your opponent. That may mean getting passed 1 out of 4 trips to the net or put another way; you win 3 points for every 1 you lose. That's equivalent to a 40-15 outcome.
Very good on the geometry, although at one point you said 'it widens' when it narrows, but I would dispute your assertion that the best shorts for the receiver are into the corners. His best shots to an S&V player are to flip it or slice it down at his feet. Depth has no meaning when the ball isn't going to bounce.
Thanks for the great instructional video Now it would be interesting if you covered a bit of challenges associated with S&V in Doubles. The geometry of the court changes a lot with Server's partner at the court. Maybe separate video? Why not?
It also changes because you are serving from wider out, so the service box you are serving into changes shape from a square to a rhombus. It is narrower but deeper at the corners. And if you're not serving from wider out, you should be.
Very helpful for singles. Would you please do a simular video on serve and volleying in doubles. Where one should go towards the net depending on the serve and how to position yourself against the opponent’s possible returns.
Thank You Will, Great video. You made it so easy to understand and follow. I might think with different type of serves applied to each target position would really enhance the effectiveness of the point.
Thank yoh for the compliment 😁 and yes different serves can enhance the ability to execute this framework. Serves are subjective so I left those details out but the target and footwork is universal 👌
this is great. As I recover from a torn calf, I hope to get back onto the court w/ S&V by the end of the year. For older players, do you feel S&V is less wear/tear on the body? I admit I get tired serving and then hopping back behind the baseline for playing the usual way.
Great video! A few questions: Which target is safer for the server? Green, yellow or red? Should I avoid a flat serve when I S&V, because the ball should come back faster? When I'm feeling tired, should I bet on S&V (to end the point faster) or avoid it?
1 in general down the t takes away the angle but the subjective answer I'd whichever you trust most. 2 flat serves are fine I tend to aim for the body with those. 3 if you're a reliable server then shortening when you're tired is a good play, if not then don't put the extra pressure on yourself
Hi coach. Great video. Question , I was practicing my serve couple days ago and my shoulder hurts since then. What am I doing wrong? Yes I have been playing for just couple yrs so I still learning. Thx in advance for your answer
Great video as always. Thx
You are welcome 😁 I hope it helps
Yes!!! This is the one I've been waiting for. I feel like a sitting duck most times I'm near the net.
Let me know how it goes using what I covered in this video 😁

Thank you for the compliment 😁 I'm always open for a good question 👍
Love it! Thank you Will!

Yes Will, another helpful video ❤
Thank you 😁

You are right 😁 it shall be done

@@ironwilltennis Can you do a short one where you talk about the serves or your preferred serves for serve and volley?
@@azarel7 I think I can handle that 🫡
@@ironwilltennis thanks!

It's definitely an expedient way to play, usually 3-4 shot max

There are a couple of things that you could be doing. Send a video of what it looks like to the ironwilltennis IG
@@ironwilltennis thank you for taking the time to answer. I'll send a quick video in couple days.. Thank you very much!!
I assume prior to serving, the server plans to serve and volley. The decision to serve and volley is not determined at the moment of impact
Definitely usually decided ahead of time
One minute?? 10+one minute 😊
I promise I'll shorten them soon,🙏 the topics are just very open
@@ironwilltennis I think the length is perfect. Just enough time for clear explanations.
Great video!
Thank you 😁 hope it helps
