Singles Strategies 101-460

1. Hit the ball cross court to work the natural rotation of your hips, clear the lowest net and hit into the most court available.

2. Hit down the line to change the line of the ball and pressure your opponent to move further to get the ball.

3. Approach the net on a short ball as long as you've hurt opponent enough with your appraoch shot; if not you're better off dishing the ball back and returning to the baseline. Keep the approach in front of your body.

4. Serve wide to open up the court and move your opponent on the next shot.

5. Serve the middle to keep the angle of return down the middle and reduce the angles your opponent may use.

6. When playing a more consistent player you must play aggressive with attacking the ball and moving the ball to force errors upon your opponent. Bring your opponent to net or charge the net appropriately to finish points if they push.
