A Tactic For Matches

Huh? What are you talking about? These run-around forehands are usually hit from near the baseline, from what I have seen.

The post was about recognizing patterns of play, did you read it!!

I was responding to the posts (several of them) about inside-out forehands.

You must of jumped to chapter 14, people can only start pattern recog when they no longer have to think about how hard they should flick their wrist and other basic parts of actually hitting the ball.

You seem like a relaxed mind type of guy, im the same, can see calm in chaos. Others cannot do this unfortunately, its not something that can be taught by anyone but themselves

Okay 1. You must keep the ball in play, 2 you want depth, 3 placement, and last 4 you want to do those things with more power. You should not skip any of these basics it will leave you with huge holes. Now you must be able to recognize if you are on offense at neutral or on offense. The goal is to go from one to the other, not skip if on defense. If you have control of the point now you can attack one of two things, movement or stroking weakness. I prefered my kids to attack movement for the first 2 points of each game if they could get control. Most errors come from changing direction of the ball so to limit errors as Braden said hit the ball straight be afraid of hitting a crooked ball straight'The patterns you all speak of are really dependent on you the player and what you can do, and the strenghths and weakness of your opponents

You make too much sense and understand tennis. Way over the level of understanding Thomas has.
