Well, as it's in the tennis section I assume it's in real life.
I voted for FH cross. Tough choice, my forehand is my weapon, but my footwork is also pretty good. But I can hit that forehand cross from pratically everywhere.

Inside out Forehand, and following up to the net (like holding R1 in the game)

Isn't "the mutant" the best nickname you have ever heard for any person in the world...just saying it makes me happy and i start laughing...don't think i'm crazy, back to the point...i have just started and hit really good down the line with my inverted forehand...i also hit good passing shots with my backhand don't know why

Anyway, thanks for your time to answer those questions!by venom400 » Wed, 15 Apr 2009 01:06
Well Samael you knew I was going to troll this post but there are two weapons I in real life tennis that are not listed , like taking an excesive amount of time between points ,and trowing your racquet insulting your oponent and cheating on the lines.
No but in all honesty these were missing :
1:slice bh , fh
2:topspin
3pace
4:placement (some people don't hit hard but can make your run all over the court by hitting angles and lines consistantly.
5:I guess the mutant techinique (lol) is the defensive techinque , wich forces the oponent to hit an error , I see a lot of people on the courts use this one at my level.
6:Mental game , if your mental game is weak you will chocke and crumble between points , specially on important ones like serving for the match or you will self destruct by getting super angry when making errors.
7:consistancy (keeping the ball in and making very little unforced errors while keeping the pressure on )
In my case my best weapons are :
1:cross court with top spin , but I also can hit pretty good down to line on my forehand.
2:wiked backhand slice that stays low and skips instead of bouncing up.
3:decent top spin backhand
4:hard first serve with variarity and power and nice high bouncing kick on serve on second.
5:pace
Weakness :
1:Consistancy specially on the backhand side
2:sometimes my feet get lazy on long points resulting in poor footwork.
3:Double faults are still a factor specially on important points .
4:mental game , if I'm winning easy it's no problem , if it's tight or I feel intimidated I have problems closing important points like serving for the game , or I tend overly mad at myself when making mistakes .
b:lack of patience with people that play with tons of trash like lobs
5:volleys are meh , specialy from the mid court .
6:can't hit a flat forehand to save my life resulting in poor approach shots.
7:I tend to jump when hitting the ball ..
And so on and so forth lol
Nice poll samael.
