G.O.A.T.
From your description of it then you should already be hitting the ball before your partner has a chance to. If your not moving back and are already in position for the shot then unless she is standing on top of you she won't even reach the ball before you have already hit it.
I have never seen you play but I have never seen a 3.5 player that could hit a "good BH overhead"
I am not saying you can't do it. I have to say I am skeptical.
Most people are skeptical, until I angle one off for a winner or put it at their feet.
Maybe it wouldn't win points off of higher-rated players, but I do OK with it at my level (3.5/4.0).
