    I agree with this except that I think the net player should have crossed to ad side as soon as his partner ran behind him to retrieve the volley. And as soon as the lob looks successful then the baseline player can just move a few steps straight ahead and net player is already in place

      Was thinking the same,... except in a match, as the net person, I Might misjudge how far over the ball went. Another solution is for the baseline person to call “switch”

    I use a kicker out wide, and my strategies is to serve so slowly that the opponent falls asleep and it’s a easy ace, I also like hitting lobs so high I almost hit an airplane, that might be a problem in the future. As you noticed I like to poke fun at myself! I totally agree with your analysis Coach. Great job on the video Coach. I started a channel called playing tennis at 50, and I gave you a shout out on my channel, I started using your drills and I lost 35 pounds in 3 months and my game has improved, I just started playing tennis again after a 22 year hiatus my friend.

    3:33 I think the guy on the right on the service line needs to switch over to the left, and the baseline guy then has shorter distance to move up to the right side service line.

    • @davidfarr9678

      See i think the baseliner should go far left and then the net player a step in to the left of the middle of the net...i play 4.0/4.5 level people and it's rare they can make the super short cross court angle. the net player can essentially cover the entire net except a forehand right down the line. probably me taking advantage of the low level i play at.

    Yeah good points in this video. I've already been doing what the video explains , when i see my doubles opponent moving back its always best to come into the court to the service line ready for they return , probably a volley and if good volley close in further for next shot.
    Plus with an over head i know to mostly target the volleyers feet at the net , if you target the baseliner they're just going to return easy and you could end up playing 3/4/5 smashes in a row which can be tiring and end up losing the point.
    @2minutetennis I don't agree to never smash down the middle as the volleyer because if there is a wide enough space to aim for down the middle with your opponents far apart then i'd say its the correct shot.

  • @JanChodura68

  • @tonyhernandez9632
    @tonyhernandez9632 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think the mistake the server's partner made wasn't hitting to the middle - it was not hitting it deep enough. I hit to the middle quite often, but I hit it deep in the middle, which is nearly always out of reach of the returner.

    Actually, the problem with the first shot is not the direction but the fact than it was hit down and short which slows the ball down significantly and allows the returner to get to the ball. If you watch professional doubles match, a lot of points are ended with a serve that pulls the opponent a bit wide and then the net player hitting deep and in-between the players, not slamming it to the ground.
    If he aimed the slam to the opponents feet, that's another way they could have won the point.

      You want to lob really high and force an error off their overhead. The higher you lob the harder it is for the opponents to time their shot.

    Okay, so we got this super incredible lob, we both got on the serve ox line, should the person at the right should close a little bit at the t to shorten the angle of the ball? or we both shall stay in the middle of each side?

    Ball in the middle is perfectly fine, and used by many pro players, the only problem here is the volley is not deep enough. Would have been the case, the returner had 0 chance to make it in time.

  • @frankvet1
    @frankvet1 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Actually, I would suggest the player in the dark shorts should have CROSSED to the left (shorter distance to the right position) and the white shorts player (from the baseline) would just need to go to the service line on the deuce side. As well, not sure why the PARTNER of the guy retrieving the lob had to run all the way back, even on the deuce side of the court! when he might have just back-peddled towards the middle while keeping an eye on his opponents movements. (there is RARELY any need to watch your partner hit a ball... nearly ALL the information about the point can be gleaned by watching your OPPONENTS during the point, especially your opponent CLOSEST to the net. My humble thoughts....

  • @waynenergy
    @waynenergy ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One very clear mistake is why the guy standing behind stand directly behind the guy volleying on the same side of the court ? Thats the most unforgiving schoolboy mistake. This is the most basic in doubles. Never leave one side of the court empty.

  • @B20-77
    @B20-77 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My thought after white baseliner's lob was for him to stay around center of deuce side, and net player should cross to ad, leaving the opponents with the only (good) option of a short cross court. Anyone better than me able to say that's a good idea? Lol

  • @mightbefire
    @mightbefire 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The net guy's in the right spot after the lob. At this level, or even down to 4.5, you're not going to have time to move forward from the service line if they try to pass you. And most lobs in that position aren't going to be winners, so you'll have time to move back to cover them. I would get passed all day if I stayed at the service line after a lob like this. I'm going to the net to win the point, like his partner would have if he had moved forward with his partner. He played a terrible point and got lucky to win it.

  • @sebastiandomagala9233

  • @xg3069
    @xg3069 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This video reminds me of Lendl who was considered by many to be the vilain simply because he had no problem playing on his opponents bodies. I ve never had issues with those shots except maybe when one has an easy put away and there is no reason to play the body. All of that to say that I believe the first volley is probably by fear to hurt the opponent which I find very strange especially considering how obnoxious those players typically are with one another. ok to cheat, ok to scream “c’mom” at every point but I guess not ok to play on one’s feet (and therefore potentially other parts of body).

    Interesting. This won't be a popular comment but although the games are vastly different, I'm here to see how these strategies can be applied to pickleball. Valuable insight about the lob and potential lob counter therefor leading to the positioning. Thanks for sharing.

  • @Evolution10X
    @Evolution10X 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I respectfully disagree----the moment the lob was hit over to far left of court, the net player should have advanced & approached to left side of net and his tm8 remain deep cover the baseline. He would have had an easy winner on the ground stroke that came back. The players should have just switched original positions and they would have won the point. In game comms and reactions are what make great players.
