What shot gives you the most satisfaction?

[TennisCJC]

I find a double shot of my baby's love the most satisfying. ha ha - sorry, couldn't resist.

I like any crisp shot that is a winner or forces an error. An ace or serve that overpowers the returner is satisfying and a topspin FH for a winner or one that forces an error is also satisfying.

I really enjoy putting together a two shot passing shot where the second/winning shot is a 4 mph forehand up the line. Hitting it as slow as possible for a clean winner past a helplessly out of position opponent is cruel and so rewarding.

 

[unforced error]

The passing shot down the line where the opponent has come to the next convinced that there is no space or angle not covered (but I slip it by!). That always feels good and it is the shot that keeps on giving since it helps force them to think twice before coming in again.

bh dtl return winner especially in dubs from the ad court.

Kicker where the returner starts to hit a FH but it kicks to the BH.

Any putaway volley!

 

[Attila_the_gorilla]

I enjoy a good passing shot in doubles, cos I often tend to panic and fluff it in match situations. When I keep my composure and execute well, it feels good.

 

[S&V Specialist]

Breaking a string in the middle of a point and winning it. That and slice winners.

 

[Roddick85]

By far, when I hit my trademark inside-out forehand for a winner, either to end the point or to return a serve on the AD side for a straight winner. There's just something about crushing the ball with that shot to counter backhand abusers ! lol

Worthy mention, hitting my single handed backhand down the line. Been working and struggling with the backhand for years, but in the last 6 months, it's been coming together, so to hit a winner off that wing is satisfying.

 

[Capulin Zurdo]

It would have to be a huge backhand service return winner down the line.

 

[Cowboyardee]

Jumping backhand putaway on a short, high-bouncing floater. The jump is entirely for style points - basically the tennis equivalent of a reverse dunk on an undefended basket.

 

[happyloman]

1. Passing shot when the guy plays attempt serve and volley
2. ace

 

[chrisberchris]

a well struck, well angled, well paced one handed backhand winner, zooming past a flabergasted two-hander afficionado, aaahh the pure joy

This. Down the line on a serve return is very satisfying as well. Long live the one hand backhand!

 

[Jim A]

Big forehand winner - doesn't matter where....the official shot of Men's 3.5 and the reason many of us stay at 3.5

 

[coloskier]

Overhead into the opponents cajones......

 

[SamprasisGOAT]

Flat forehand winners or ace down the tee

 

[Fest]

My favorite shot used to be a down the line winner, either side. 3 weeks ago, playing mixed I just discovered the "nutmeg" I think they have these in soccer. It's where you hit a shot between your opponents feet. It's hard if they're prepared at all, so you have to sell hitting another direction. I've been trying to replicate it ever since.

Nailing the net guy as he tries to poach.
I always apologize after, but inside I'm grinning.
:twisted:

1) An ACE or nonreturnable Serve, especially if they get vocal, you can use that to also get a mental win and smile walking back to the service line.
2) Going big on a return
3) Sneaky out of no where super poach for winner in Dubs
4) Blasting a cross court Forehander
