If I do start to play badly and hav a small colapse it is my 1-h backhand. Don't really kno y I think I just kinda forget how to hit them.. If it's going real bad I switch to a 2H backhand

My 1st serve, especially when I feel confident about it pregame. Also, I tend to lose my touch for volleying and end up framing/netting a lot of easy volley putaways I don't have much match toughness.. I'm like the pillsbury doughboy ingame, sigh.

Forehand.

There are times when I think I'd be more successful if I would catch the ball and throw it back rather than try to hit it.

On the positive side, the shot that gets stronger throughout the match is the volley. Which causes me to make reckless forays to net to avoid hitting another groundstroke error.

I don't really have a shot that breaks down in matches but the shots that produce most errors would be careless volleys, smashes, it's when i get lazy on my footwork. Sometimes backhands, slices or topspin.

Definitely volleys for me. Serves and groundstrokes are usually steady.

most people play the way they practice, so my backhand on the run breaks down in matches the same way it does in practice. The rest are fairly stable unless I play massive top spin hitters (because I don't practice enough against these kind of hitters), so it shows in matches.

Well it all does its just a matter of in what order, first thing is the overhead then the volley then the backhand and forehand and then the temper "**** its a frustrating game" The serve usually works ok.

Overheads, volleys, anything that doesn't require 3/4 to full strokes. Strange I know... I tend to hit my volleys too far back instead of out in front and my overhead is just, well... sad. I also have problems with mixed sidespins on clay. I would be a 4.0 if I had any net game.
