They both suck, in my case, bigtime.

But I love to come to the net. Go figure. Need LOTS of work on volleying, as well as approaching shots. Maybe will never be good at it, but it's the sort of tennis that I find most interesting and like the most.

I do, sincerely, think that a decent serve and volleyer will beat most anybody up to, and including, 4.0 level. Above that, the strokes are good enough that serve and volleying has to be done more sporadically, sparingly, imo, considering the power of the modern game.
