Approach Shot

By now, the 40+ league season and playoffs have just ended, and the start of the 18+ league season is about to begin. Whether you play league tennis, tournaments, or just recreationally, improving how effectively you play in the front of the court is typically what it takes to take your game to the next level. What I mean by front court tennis is the transition from the baseline to the net. And being able to finish at the net will allow you to end points quicker, conserve energy, and add another dimension to your game to strike fear in your opponents.
The vast majority of club players spend over 80% of the time hitting from behind the baseline. Most players move brilliantly side to side, but struggle moving north to south. Once you are inside the baseline, keep in mind that the distance to the baseline on the other side of the net is much shorter, and hence, the amount of power and spin you need must be adjusted accordingly. Here are some tips to help you improve your approach shots:
As soon as you’ve identified that a ball hit to you will be short, turn your body quickly (meaning get your racquet back) and move laterally to the ball. Don’t sprint straight
toward it.

· Try not to jump when you hit the ball.

· Your body should be moving towards the target you are aiming for.

· When you hit the ball on an approach shot, focus on depth, don’t focus on power.

· Since the ball will typically be low, use extra topspin in order for the ball to get over the net but drop inside the baseline. Increase your racquet head speed in order to generate extra topspin, and follow through lower than you would normally finish.

· An approach shot is not meant to be a winner, but rather a setup shot to allow you to get to the net. So, don’t try to go for an outright winner on approach shots.

· Lastly, rule of thumb should be to approach down the line or middle of the court, and then following the path of your ball to the net.
