Below are shortened comments Ron Smarr offered having read this chapter.
- Never serve at your opponent’s strength on big points.
- Drop shots and topspin lobs are old shots that modern players are revisiting.
- Other than football, basketball and perhaps baseball-other college sports may become “club sports”!
- Serves and groundstrokes up the middle can take angle away from your opponent. And you run less.
- High school coaches and players and teams often are aided greatly by college coaches and local pros and players.
- Coaching is not just about winning.
- Many players are returning serve from way back. Enter the drop shot?
- The closer you are to the net the more you keep the racket head out in front.
- Over- night camps make directors much more exposed to liability.
- One Jerk will and can make things bad for the whole program.
- Movement can make 2/3 of the court available to a powerful shot. And avoid weak shots !
