In #3, It’s nice to hear you talk about the pressure on person making the lob on the run. And the reality of the “dead duck” and we are both responsible. Great video….
Another excellent video. I don't think that I have ever seen a lobbed net player move back to "no man's land", as you recommend here. This tactic could be a game changer/winner when playing against the dreaded lobbers that inhabit the 3.0/4.0 world.
It would be nice if you made a video talking about the exceptions. I mean, when it's better to attack the baseline guy (if you are in the net). Thanks Ryan!
#3 is excellent advice. I mention this # because I see the same thing. Even experienced doubles players will drift back to NML and stay there. They become the automatic target. If they’re lucky, they can half volley an overhead back. Haha.
Only one snag is that the sort of person who would benefit from this video (ie me) when presented with an opportunity to smash the ball from the service line, has a 120% chance of mashing the ball into the net. :o) And when presented with a lob that has a lot of topspin on it, will smash the ball into the back fence. ;)
“You got this!” Oh man, do I love that tag line! Keep up the good work, brother. I will try to remember all this, but I tend to just run around like an arcade duck whenever the ball’s in the air during a doubles point. 🦆 Open season! (Quack, quack ... BOOM!) - The End
I really need to just learn to hit correctly consistently first! However, this does make a ton of sense and provides some extremely solid tips! Appreciate ya!!
In most cases for #3, SP just stay and watching (luck of..), I move as SP in case of R lob (or no) depends how my S moving (we don't have always same partner and usually try make just balanced teams).
1. Hit to the opponent who’s standing where you’re standing 2. When you successfully lob your opponent, put your toes on the service line 3. When you’re lobbed, move back diagonally into no-mans land and see what type of shot your opponent hits
Definitely ALWAYS hit at the feet! 1- If you head hunt, you might miss and the ball will go out 2- If you head hunt, you might hit, and you might get rightfully punched in the face. :) :)
Excellent tips, thanks!!👍
Excellent! Love seeing doubles strategy because that what our tennis group plays all the time. We never play singles.

Amazing tips
Thanks coach !!!
Finally! I understand doubles! Thanks you so much for posting. EPIC video.
Super helpful Ryan, Thabks.
Excelent strategies! I reckon that I struggle with both lob situations and keep playing high balls back and forth. Thanks!
Excellent strategy!. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much Ryan!
Great strategies! Thank you coach.
You make really insightful doubles strategy videos!
Outstanding video !!! Love your dubs content. Can you do a video on dubs formations sometime ? Congrats on 100k by the way 👍
Great information!

Thanks so much!
Great simplification! Going to use it with my high school team!

Plz share some points when opponents serve with tandem …
Sorry. I have no idea what you’re asking
Thanks

Great!
My partner and I got clobbered by two lobbing/drop shotting guys this morning. We'll do better next time by getting into the correct positions.
In most cases for #3, SP just stay and watching (luck of..), I move as SP in case of R lob (or no) depends how my S moving (we don't have always same partner and usually try make just balanced teams).
In the third, the net guy in theory shouldn’t be hitting to you at the base line on that short lob, it should be a lite tap or slice over the net
1. Hit to the opponent who’s standing where you’re standing
2. When you successfully lob your opponent, put your toes on the service line
3. When you’re lobbed, move back diagonally into no-mans land and see what type of shot your opponent hits
No need to edit it, it was funny!😂
For each 3 cases, it would be better to use video footage of pro matches to demo your tactics besides dry talking.
You are correct. Thanks!!!
Definitely ALWAYS hit at the feet!
1- If you head hunt, you might miss and the ball will go out
2- If you head hunt, you might hit, and you might get rightfully punched in the face. :) :)
Until now I belonged to 99.9 % of the players.... Thanks for the good advice
Seems lot of repeat 🤣
I’m not sure what you mean?
this is too basic, this is for people who just started playing tennis yesterday
You must not be a coach. Coaches know that most people KNOW these ideas but rarely do people actually ABIDE by them.
