Stratigic, Power, or Defensive

[Livefreediefree1]

How do you like to play? im in between the defensive and stratigical play i look for a weekness and take it to my advantage, i adapt to there play and play there problems, i dont go for the power i make them use all there energy for a better and easier win for the rest of the rounds.:mrgreen:

[Livefreediefree1]

S&V would never be Defensive. It's an ATTACKING style ;)

its attacking 100%, but chip and charge can be considered defensive also...

HOW!?
You chip the serve to go to the net, and rule the point... by attacking... :rolleyes:

60% attacking, 40% denfensive...

HOW!?
You chip the serve to go to the net, and rule the point... by attacking... :rolleyes:He might be saying that it's defensive because usually chipping/slicing is associated with defending (slices float in the air longer, therefore giving you more time to reposition yourself).

I wouldn't consider chip & charge defensive though, because you chip in order to set up the attack, not to get into a defensive position. I guess if you consider defending the net to be a defensive tactic, then you could call chip & charge defending the net, but it's still not a defensive tactic.

Just my two cents.

How the hell did you come up with those numbers!?
Chip and Charge isn't defensive AT ALL. No numbers here. It's like S&V, but without the serve, on return services ;)

Chip and charge is strategic as the OP's choices state. Dispensing with chipping and charging and just knocking the poopy out of the ball for a winner would more be the modern standard bearer for attacking style.

I'm defensive/strategic.

I played a pretty short kid the other day, but he was good. So I hit with extreme topspin, almost like a topspin lob, and it bounced over his head. Easy points for me. :D

[Ace_Tyger]

Am playing defence just, but i always try to hit the ball in random speed and direction that way my opponet runs and i take out his legs first,then comes something am still working on, its a slice shot that bounce low but for the looks of it, its impossible:confused:

[Freedom]

You mean a drop shot? I love my drop shot. I can hit it off of anything.

flatten out your slice stroke and hit through the ball more than chopping at it. make like a bow shape or sideways ) and your slices will stay low and skid.

[Ace_Tyger]

thanks can't wait to go to the court:cool: one Q? how low can the slice make the balll me

[EliteNinja]

All-court.
If my opponent is attacking, I defend.
If my opponent is defending, I attack.

[wyutani]

literally im the type that gets tired easily...so i try to avoid hitting hard on the baseline all the time...

[MTChong]

I don't think those choices are the best; if one plays strategically, there will be times where the player will attack with sufficient power and there will be times when he or she will defend to get into a neutral position.

[serveitup911]

I consider myself a strategic, attacking player. I hit most of my forehands down the line to set up my weapon - the backhand. I feel confident against anyone if I can get into a BH crosscourt rally. With my backhand, I am powerful and accurate, so I attack down the line after an angle crosscourt. If the player is smart enough to realize that my backhand is much better, and rallies down the line to my forehand, I will take it early and go crosscourt after a few shots. I only come to net when I expect a very easy putaway volley because my volleys are not nearly as strong as my groundstrokes. My serve is average for most players of my level, but I have a very good kick that I use to set up points.

HAHA...yeah...remember...he's a serve and volleying, chip and charging pusher.

im more of a power/strategic. i'll hit hard when i need to, but most of the time, it's just placement and direction

[Livefreediefree1]
