About this episode
This is the 4th episode in our 8-part series on doubles strategy. Part 1, Time: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1375636/12544725 Part 2, Movement: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1375636/12723935 Part 3, Position: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1375636/12772002 When are the best times to hit with more power in doubles? More importantly, when should we hit the ball SLOW?! Personally, I think power is overrated in doubles. I'd rather you hit with depth, or adjust your position than hit the ball hard. However, this is an important episode because most people do use power at the wrong times. It's important to know when you should use more power, and crucially, when to use off-pace shots. In this episode, I'll cover both. You'll also learn: Why hitting with power should be a secondary tactic. Why using power against pushers is a losing strategy (and what to do instead). My favorite times to use power to get a free point. Knowing when to dial up the MPH vs slowing it down will help you give away fewer free points and start playing smarter doubles. **Doubles Strategy Course** This video course will teach you the best doubles tactics for serving, returning, rallying, and approaching so that you’ll have a winning plan for every point. 25 Winning Doubles Tactics Video Course: https://the-tennis-tribe.teachable.com/p/25-winning-doubles-tactics **Doubles Ebooks** These guides offer proven advice to improve your doubles strategy. 25 Winning Doubles Tactics: https://www.thetennistribe.com/25-winning-doubles-tactics/ Return Strategy for Doubles: https://www.thetennistribe.com/return-strategy-for-doubles-ebook/ Serve Strategy for Doubles: https://www.thetennistribe.com/serve-strategy-for-doubles-ebook/ Net Play Strategy for Doubles: https://www.thetennistribe.com/net-play-strategy-for-doubles-ebook/ *** Download your free doubles guide to learn how to force errors and get more easy volleys at TheTennisTribe.com/doubles-guide/ . *** Tennis Gear reviews : The best racquets, shoes, bags, & more Read our written doubles l ----- **Join the #1 Doubles Strategy Newsletter for Club Tennis Players** New doubles strategy lessons weekly straight to your inbox **Become a Tennis Tribe Member** Tennis Tribe Members get access to premium video lessons, a monthly member-only webinar, doubles strategy Ebooks & Courses, exclusive discounts on tennis gear, and more.
