How to Attack a Second Serve -- Tennis Strategy

[y11971alex]

Even the pros? I saw Laver aiming for every line regardless of first or second serve.

[lorbax]

Thank you, good explanation but a bit slow ...

[joanes1963able]

[jkim519]

can you do some vids on volleys? anything on volleys like how to hit one, when to approach net to hit one, etc.

[darksilence767]

Just get to the point already god damnit

[Hamiltoncheater]

today in the match,opponent hited 10 on the line 2nd serve....

[kevson24]

brilliant

[borisncfc100]

Like how Will says 'even the pros' instead of 'even us pros' lol.

[elkabras]

and if my best shot its my backhand??? its no useful, this video has done for a big forehand¡¡

[niclassj]

Are you joking? Just cheat a bit to your backhand side instead of to your forehand side if you have a huge backhand.

Amazing.tennis bali.

[theman36912]

great vid. thanks!

[jjbVII]

Thanks!

[jjbVII]

Your videos are great!

Anyways, i'm about to change my old Wilson K Factor K Six-One Lite. The problem is that I don't really know what racquet should I chose. *I like to hit fast balls full of top-spin.

[TennisFlip95]

@jjbVII babolat racquets like nadal's aeropro drive were great for me on the baseline but i didnt have the best time at net with it. so if your primarily a baseliner, then try out the babolat line of raquets. i personally prefer a wilson k factor k six one tour cuz i get more control all over the court (i like to serve and volley so i need a racquet that i feel comfortable with at net, as well as at the baseline) but you should still try out the babolats for your groundies

[nabindahouse]

@TennisFlip95 not really, the babolat rackets are very lights and therefore the baseliners who use them need to produce alot of power themselves which can be very tiring for the average baseliner.Instead, a heavier racket can help produce some power and spin for you, therefore ending the points more quickly. Not everyone has the same muscle strength as Rafael Nadal.

[uysiemanym]

@nabindahouse

Actually, most of the Babolat racquets are pretty heavy. The Pure Storm is the heaviest racket, but it's geared mostly for more control. The Pure Drive is your choice for the baseline, as evidenced by Roddick. Even Nadal's racquet, the Aero Pro, is 11.3 ounces, which is heavier than your average racquet.

[Davidskater]

Thnk u 4 ur vids, they have helped me a LOT!

[AnIolar]

Have no idea about the baseball stuff, but I like this kind of lesson. I assume the big target is the same (relatively) when returning from the van side!

[FYB2007]

Thanks. You're right about the ad side -- will clarify this now in video w/an annotation.

[AnIolar]

Cheers Will! A doubles version would be really interesting. Good to hear from you.

[petunia0809]

Good tip

[mrandall61]

[ludtke337]

you must be sponsored by nike now ;)

[kyle7286]

Good vid.  Thank you

[terminator8338]

Dude, be more clear while talking, you were talking way too much

[yomamafat155]

stop complaining -_-;;

[lkjkhfggd]

What kind of bad serve gets the most punishment from the return? I tend to get return aced because my second is too punishable. What kind of swing should I do that has almost 100% accuracy and won't cause me to get return aced?

[Sengokuu7]

You should learn to kick it to the back hand side. Make sure you swing as fast as you swing for a first serve! If you don't you won't get much kick and they will punish it forsure..

[Badymaxi]

just talking ,,,, i didn't get anything new

[YoMaafaka]

any way, nice analisys man, good work

[OneInchSlap]

What if I hit my second(kick) serve and aim for the lines? Is it that bad? It's fun when I ace people with my second serve. I'll heed your advice though.

[FYB2007]

It's just low percentage. You may ace your opponent here or there but you'll lose more points via double faults than you'll win.

It's the same as going for winners all the time. It's fun when you hit them but it's not a winning strategy. You end up making too many errors.

[subsNmus]

faggot

[elsrdick]

hi will,

did you recieve the pm I sent you a few days ago about my serve video ?

thanks for contributing. your videos are the best!

[Nivtop2112]

Thanks! Clear and simple strategy. Will be applying this later today. :-)

[YoMaafaka]

did nike pay u to wear this hat?

[FYB2007]

Nope. My hair is a little out of control =)

[ZXcannon]

Another insightful video :) Good work. Do you have a recommended strategy for first serve returns?

[VVAzzzup]

I just rush the net...

[j00dypoo]

i like to surprise villain occasionally by coming in and taking the serve on the rise, in addition to what's outlined here. i love messing with the server's timing and rhythm

[dayne120]

I play high level and i always thought it was best to 'go to town' kinda, seeing as they need to hold and all, but never thought of the fact that they land in the court off the serve. Now I'm more gonna hit where you said but the right hand side (backhand) and deep. Thanks

[meyoungjin15]

what happened to HD goodness?

[j00dypoo]

vid is probably still processing so u don't have the option for that

[RFServeRF]
