    I've been thinking about something recently with singles, wouldn't you want all your strokes (forhand/backhand) to be footwork dominated, and then when you hit the ball just accelerate more, and don't waste time on your back swing, just quickly hit the ball with good footwork so you're ready for the next ball that comes. 1 week ago I won first place for a 4.5 singles tournament but what I analyzed is I was being caught a few times on my back foot cause wasted to much motion on my serve and I wasn't ready for my third.

    I think the HUGE KEY in this video was volley depth. It appears your only quality option is deep in the court. I think you're saying you don't want it to bounce in transition. You don't want it to be short in kitchen. Sounds like I need more practice ... 😀

    • @congarnett

    Tks Connor for the video! In the next video could you explain the strategy of returning to the middle versus to the corners? I understand the pros like to return to the middle to close the angles, but when I do it, I get passed left and right. I feel returns to the corners are better up until level 4.0. Would you agree?

    If you have a good roll volley, it can be effective below the net, but usually low percentage. The drop shot advice is spot on, I discovered this recently and am dropping way more consistently. I use to lean back and hit up thinking it would help float it over the net. Weight forward is way more consistent and produces much more aggressive drops.

      @@mra2424 generally, reset if you're out of position or off balance to get another shot at closing on the kitchen. depending on your ability to attack from mid-court, you can attack when you're not off balance and you know your opponent's weak spots. if my opponent is sitting on the backhand hard, i can still chicken wing them with an attack toward their paddle-side hip or shoulder. but this also depends on one's ability to attack. not everyone has a twoey swinging volley to attack if the ball is being hit to your backhand side when in transition, so that would limit your attack to simply the forehand side.

    I do find it interesting how conflicting pro videos can be. I have literally seen 3 different videos that give conflicting advice as to what to do when you chase down a lob; drop it, drive it or lob it back. So I think your last piece of advice about not always doing something is the best advice. So much is dependent on who you're playing and at what level you're playing.

    #5 is actually a comment that the student usually tells themselves (whether the coach says "always" or not...). They get a solid piece of advice, and then they take it as gospel that it must be done every time. (That's honestly not a terrible thing when trying to learn a new skill and engrain a new habit in order to remove some of the "thinking" during a rally) - but once the principle is fully owned, the player must then treat it as a well-used tool rather than a rule.
