I never go for the tweener (afraid of the dreaded rack :shock: ). I like to go for this shot all the time though (can't remember for the life of me what it is called though :-( ):

i hit the tweener whenever i get the opportunity... i played in a doubles league and would rush the net just to get a lob so i could hit it... im kinda proud of my tweener cause i have never hit myself =P

Have any of you ever seen a girl do that? The tweener, I mean.

That's called a spitfire, I believe. Dennis Van Der Meer had a Tenis Mag article about trick shots, and that was one of them.

ha, i hit my nuts too, its not a shot in my arsenal right now, i'll leave it to the pros or until i have kids
quick question for everyone
when you are either up at the net or running to it and the other team has a sitter that you know its gonna be blasted at you, do you cover your face or your nuts with the racquet?? :-) serious question yall

yeah roddick hit himself in the balls a bunch of times. I would never try of it in a tourney because I would probably embarass myself

no tweener for me, but I do run around it so I can kind of scoop the ball. It's the same motion as a tweener, just not as cool.
