Playing doubles and the player on your side has a cannon for a forehand-what to do? Six power player killer tips for slowing that forehand down.
1. Make them provide their own power. Duh! If you hit it at them hard, it comes back faster!
2. Make them move forward. Pinches, side walls, anything to move them forward!
3. Jam’o’rama! Jam that forehand off the side wall.
4. Isolate their backhand! Serving to the middle of the court will move them way over or isolate that backhand.
5. Slow the game down. Take your full 10 seconds between serves. Often power players love to speed the game up and rip the ball.
6. Feed them Shots at different speeds–let them shoot away. The rollouts are impressive and trading one rollout perfect shot from an opponent for two or three skips of left up shots in the front court feeds their ego and your scorecard!!
