What are your weapons? like is it one of ur shots or more. is it ur speed and stuff etc. just wanting to knw what u ppl's special weapons are and why?..
And whats not your weapon? the shot u got that u are not very consistent with and why?
For me the shots that i say is not consistent for me is my forehand and my forehand volley. I find it hard to control the ball and stuggle to hit winners off it. I also dont like doing the smash of really high balls on the full cus i sometimes hit it out or not in time. Serve because i get a few double faults
My weapons would be my speed cus im quite fast since im short. My backhand because its hard flat and skims the net i get most winners of it. my Bh volley i find it comfortable and prefer it over my fh volley. serve because it can hit with quite a pace.

My weapon is my forehand, no doubt about it.
My backhand CAN be a weapon, but it usually isn't.
A major weakness of mine are my volleys, as well as my 2nd serve,

Your game sounds just like mine. All except for that I have great volleys most of the time. My forehand though i lack consistancy on and most of the time pace, once in a while though i have a day when i can just hit huge forehands all over the place. The main problem with my forehand now is that i have it engrained in my head that i can't hit a forehand.

Oh don't worry im sure that you will get a hang of it. I played tennis to do and i hit my forehand very well. I was going to ask is speed a weapon for you? For me i can run down almost anything. Even against the pros at the clubs and they are 5.0 to 5.5 players.

my forehand is my biggest strength. especially cross court i can really rip it sometimes. also my speed and my defensive abilities really help me out and can get me out of trouble. My volleys aren't that bad it's just i'm not that big so it's hard to cover passing shots at net. My serve has it's days but often it can hurt me. I just switched to a 2 handed backhand so right now thats a pretty big weakness.

Weapons: Kick/Twist Sever, Fast Serve, Spin Serve, Topspin, and Technical Playing
Weaknesses: Net Hitting Smashes, Missing Sweat Spot, Loosing My Cool, and constantly making the other player think I'm trying to play doubles.
My footwork, volleys, and shot judgement are pretty neutral, but they're far from weeknesses.

Cool looks like we are in the same boat. Except your forehand is probably better than mine is. What i do is, well right now im trying to get away from being to careful on the forehand side. I am trying to hit with more depth so then i have time to run around and hit a backhand, I actually have more confidence in my volleys than hitting a forehand so i try to come in at any possible opprotunity.

The way I take advantage of short balls is big for me. Getting the feet right, turning the shoulders, taking the ball high are match winners. All of my strokes are pretty reliable, although I feel I can rely on my down the line shots more than crosscourt. One of my main problems is that I swing too much on my forehand volley causing mishits, however, to compensate, I commonly get right on top of the net and smack it down into a corner. And being a lefty, spinny serves are key to my game.

Weapons:
Forehand
When on first serve
Returns
Not the fastest guy but have good anticipation on where the opponent will hit the ball.
Weaknesses:
Nerves
Slice backhand though can occasionally produce sick drophsots and overall it is improving.
Serve though when on is strong weapon breaks down easily leading to man DFs
