Hardbat Doubles Partner

Strategy

Tuan Nguyen Asked 13 years ago

Currently, I play doubles with a hardbat player who likes to smash the ball.  What kind of serves, serve returns, and general hits can I do to help make it possible for my partner to smash it back?  I use a grippy inverted rubber that is still pretty new if that helps.  Thanks a bunch

Hi Tuan,

I would do some simple backspin and no spin serves to help your partner with getting an attacking ball.  If you make the serve too complicated it will make it more difficult for him.

Do you recommend a short 2 bounce serves or a long and fast 1 bounce?

I would do a fast backspin serve or a short serve.
