What tennis stroke pumps you up the most?

[Oxford]

Of all the strokes you do, which one gives you the biggest pump (thrill, stoke, buzz, dopamine etc) when you execute it perfectly.

For me it is my backhand topspin with pace down the line. Something about that shot, when I nail it, just sets off the "ohhhhweeee" in my brain.

What stroke gives you the buzzzzzzzz when you nail it?>

[Linkkokiri]

I would say: when I get a short ball on my backhand side and manage a good jumping two-handed backhand! (DTL or crosscourt, I don't care wich.)
(Mind you, I miss it more often than not! ;-))

I kind of get carried away for a few points after playing that particular shot!
(Fortunately (maybe not...) I don't hit it that often... ^^

 

[bumfluff]

For me, its probably getting an ace because it makes you feel like all the double faults are worth it

 

[Supernatural_Serve]

Huge kick serve to Ad very wide and short.

I love that look of hopelessness on the opponent's face when they aren't even within 15-20 feet of the ball.

 

[Forehand Forever]

Inside-out Forehand. As soon as I see the opportunity, it's all over for the opponent. Whenever I get that shot, it's over, point's finished you're not going to get that ball back and if you do I'm just gonna smash it back.

forehand off the court deep down the line, hit one the other day and for the first time i experienced an instinctive fist pump and C'MOOOOON!!!!

 

[dave333]

Down the line forehand winner into open court.

Or an ace...I like aces a lot.

 

[jck01]

My cross-court backhand. It doesn't seem very fast but it has good amount pace to it.

 

[Loco4Tennis]

high bouncing forehand flat-smash i have to jump for

 

[AznHylite]

Best shot! Gotta be the drop shot... Hehehehe... Once you see your opponent's face surprised, it's all over for him/her!!!!

 

[Chauvalito]

I am usually 100% confident on my forehand size...its my backhand that wanes in and out more often than I would like.

But when I am hitting my one-hander well, I can go anywhere and do it well. Down the line and deep is my choice.

 

[jmverdugo]

Volleys, im not very good at it so i feel very happy when i nail one very short and angled.

 

[shojun25]

Between the leg shots When I play net, the other person lobs thinking he gets the point, I hit the ball between my legs, it goes in. I was able to do this like three times though

Also, aces. As long as I aced them a lot even though I lost, I'm still happy.

 

[YonexDude]

hard deep flat one-handed backhand taken right off the rise of a well-hit ball. nothing better

 

[dunloplayah]

1HBH with lots of top spin hit down the line after a cross court service return. get em everytime!

 

[Purostaff]

Ace down the line or out wide...

 

[enwar3]

Definitely a sharp inside-out forehand..

 

[tommywellinggirl]

Deep cross court forehand

 

[Phil]

Just about anything I hit that goes for a winner does the trick. But, the one-handed backhand topspin lob, when it's hit just right, is absolutely nasty. I WALK back to the center of the court or, if it's game point and changeover, just start walking toward the sideline-don't even make the motions of getting back into position for a possible return. Don't have to.

 

[Hot Sauce]

A great approach shot with good pace and spin right into the corner, followed by a volley winner.
