Master returning the kick, and you could be in the drivers seat not just during your service games, but during your opponents as well.



Serve and Volley

Pat explains the technique he uses to close the net after serving, and why rhythm was so important to him.
He also explains why Pete Sampras’ style of serving and volleying isn’t the best model for a recreational player to follow.
Don’t want to serve and volley? You’ll still be getting plenty of short, weak returns that you can take as a groundstroke. Recreational players HATE handling short balls, and they hate missing those shots even more. Pat’s got you covered by showing you how to close short balls and end points quickly.
