As a mediocre player, another benefit of the jam serve is that you're less likely to miss wide - you have the most left-right leeway when you target the middle
This is fantastic video. Could you please make more videos elaborating more on all these super practical tips. All, please post some more tips that apply to regular 3.0-4.0, intermediate players.
Useful! Never heard Business and Party sides… but thinking of recent match and we switched after disappointing 1st set, proved I’m the business partner and other definitely a big party … we won much to the confusion of our opponents 😅
I would respectfully disagree on the choice of returning side from this standpoint: If your backhand is weaker than your partner ... if you are on the Ad side your opponent if at least a 4.0 will immediately know this and you will keep you in the backhand trap... You will have to hit backhands under pressure over and over returning from the Ad side which in doubles means having to avoid the netman. So if you are forced into a weak chip... they are going to pound on that. That would be why I would put the better backhand there.
definitely in this case, it's important for the 'weak backhand' player to take big swings. agree that the chip backhand is a slow painful death, unless they can chip it onto the baseline perfectly. the alternative of putting the weak backhand on the deuce side, still gives you the same problem over 4.0 in that they will constantly face serves to their weakness. when i say party animal i definitely don't mean weaker player. party= more streaky, more dangerous; djokovic on the deuce, bublik on the ad....
Your introduction is the breath of fresh air that tells it all. The definition of doubles specialist is “failed singles player”. The easiest form of professional sports is pro doubles. The top players don’t play and the prize money is too much. The level is so rapidly declining that mediocre players in their prime - Ram and Bopanna - are now stars. That’s why players are approaching 40 years old, not because they are fit but because the game is deteriorating. The tournaments need doubles on Saturday and Sunday to fill the card. So 8 teams are more than enough. The Bryan brothers are not the greatest team of all time. Newcomb and Roche or the Bryan brothers? Your secrets are not addressing the truth.
Great video

More effective after hitting either or both corners, since returner is primed to exaggerate following the ball, running right into the ball!
Great work! Is that a squirrel running around in the background?

I love these tips! I'll have to remember #1 for my next match!
Thanks
Great video! How you hit a jam serve?
Aim at the person!
Better player on ad side. Ad side decides vast majority of games.
