I know this isn't everyone's favorite topic...
Ive been watching videos of del potro lately and to me it looks like he uses both 'push' strokes and 'pull strokes' depending on the situation.
Specifcally, his rally ball is more of a push stroke while he'll use a pull stroke to put away short balls. Does this seem accurate?
makes me think that maybe this is the 'best' way to play tennis
so in my head im trying to match the stroke (push or pull) to the type of ball.
I have:
high ball (whether it's deep or short): push stroke
short, low ball: pull stroke
skidding, slice ball: pull stroke
lob: pull stroke (unless you're just trying to chip it over opponent's head)
and in general:
flat ball: push stroke
heavy topspin ball: pull stroke
is this a viable approach to tennis?
