Ye i like to make a long fast serve into their backhand too but with some backspin so they cant just block it but have to play actively, leads to a lot of errors or easy balls to attack. Problem with pivot is not only if they return down the line but if u go try to kill the 3rd Ball down the line and they somehow manage to block it they will naturally and very easily block it into your empty forhand. As for combinations i like reverse pendulum short back/side spin into their forehand and then open with backhand strongly. Or pendulum with side(+under or top) curving into their elbow, with a lot of sidespin it curves a lot and if u position it well it curves from their forhand into their backhand leading to a lot of surprise and indecision and weak returns to kill with strong forhand loop then. Can also be long and they try to loop but will be hard on their elbow leading to direct errors.
Hi Kush, I played against an opponent who employed the first tactic against me repeatedly throughout the 3 sets. I lost as his third ball very strong. How should I had returned the ball to make it difficult for him?
@ameykhairnar5582, keep the ball short from his serve (don't push long). then look for openings to try and attack first (flick or wait for him to push long - then loop). if you have trouble keeping the ball short, try pushing deep and long to his backhand side and hope for a weaker return. make sure to vary what you do though.
Really great content man! Keep it going! Really appreciate what you do! ❤🏓

Nice
Hi Kush, thanks for spreading so much helpful content. Any plans on making one about how to train with a return board? 💪🏓
Thanks man. I will look into it at some point.
