Tennis Kill Patterns Part I
Some of the most devasting shot making patterns combine drop shots and lobs to run your opponent all over the court. Your basic Kill Pattern is to purposely hit a ball short and follow it in to the net expecting a weak return. When you get the weak return from your opponent who has sprinted toward the net to get to your short ball, you lob it over his head to force him to sprint back to get it.
If your opponent does get to the lob, then he will probably give you another weak return that you can either put away or repeat the pattern until he drops from exhaustion.
Great advice, Tom!
Also, this tactic works extremely great for females, as they do not move up-and-back as well as they do side-to-side.
To anyone reading this, Tom has years of experience using these techniques on a day-to-day basis, and he’s sharing them with you because they work!
