If the returner has a neutral grip then you could use Zach’s advice about thinking about natural swing paths, also keep an eye on overplayed returns and focus on those. We hope you found the video useful.
What is the likely return of serve when hitting to the body? I think i heard correctly thst servinf to the t is more likely for a backhand push to the side snd to the forehand its likely going to come across. Thanks again for the video
It would be dependant on natural swing still that zach was talking about and covering the more likely option, backhand would promote more a left to right swing and forehand would be more right to left swing (right hander). As mentioned it’s not to say they can’t play other shots but it’s covering the most likely and having a clear plan with your partner what to cover as a pair. Hope that helps 😀
An example could be 1. Low serve to T 2. Low serve to body 3. Low serve out wide 4. Flick down the middle 5. Flick out wide This can obviously be adapted to suit yourself and your partner. You could also add another option to the body due to the point Zach mentioned about natural swing paths. A serve to the right shoulder may promote a different reply than if you served to the left shoulder. Let us know how you get on 👍
One serve combo I received from a Malaysian coach is that serving(left) slightly right to a RH player left thigh(but not the single's line) will almost always be returned with a cross if the opponent is aggressive. Source: th-cam.com/video/XxMk56Hj8aE/w-d-xo.html Very insightful videos. I hope you guys can elaborate and provide us more combos similar to this.
This is what Zach was talking about in the way of natural swings as well. It’s a very effective place to serve for people that struggle to change the natural swing path. Thanks for the support, we have lots of exciting content coming up over the next couple of months. Stay tuned 😀👍
Great insight in to how a pro player places importance on predicting replies to gain a third shot interception and dictate the rally and set up a play for your partner. Very helpful video. More please 👍🏸
Most of your examples were drive returns that are categorically not as good shots as netshots. Drive returns are in the book only because when the opponent is so good that they'll be covering the net tightly, you need to go past the front player. If the server is sleeping and won't cover the net, play netshot return only, cos it's the better shot.
We agree the net return is a great return to play due to its short flight time, we highlighted this as well with Zach as he likes to play at the net so it’s a great way to stay forward. We looked at the return to the deep backhand corner as it’s such a common shot that is played at club level, however some players aren’t sure where to go after and we wanted to highlight some options using Zach’s experience. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Love this series and hearing from pro players about their game and tips. Look forward to the next one!
Really pleased you enjoyed it. We have lots more exciting masterclasses on the way soon. Stay tuned 👍
Really interesting insight into the psychological aspects of serve/return - I like the concept of natural swings too. Thanks Zach!
It was great to hear Zach talk about the mental side. Something that can be overlooked and that can make such a big difference.
Very informative video and great to hear from a full time professional player
Thanks for the positive feedback
Brilliant! I’ll certainly be using these top tips in my next match! 💪
Pleased you enjoyed it, let us know how it goes in your match 👏👏
Really interesting hearing his perspective. Loved it!! Thanks guys. 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! It was great to have Zach involved, he was fantastic in sharing his knowledge.

Great video! Are you waiting for the grip to be fully black to change it on the 1000z? Still would go with the colour scheme tbf 😂
😂😂😂🤦♂️ you’re the 2nd person to mention the state of my grip. I’ll keep an eye on this more in the future 😀
Pleased you enjoyed the content 👍

Awesome video....... how about some info on the signs you use to communicate..... please......
An example could be
1. Low serve to T
2. Low serve to body
3. Low serve out wide
4. Flick down the middle
5. Flick out wide
This can obviously be adapted to suit yourself and your partner. You could also add another option to the body due to the point Zach mentioned about natural swing paths. A serve to the right shoulder may promote a different reply than if you served to the left shoulder. Let us know how you get on 👍

Add The Players Achievements In The Thumbnail Also So People Pay More Attention And Take it More Seriously
Thanks for the suggestion, good idea 👍
