ITST serve and volleyer's society

How about a setup like this:

FH: 60
BH: 60
Serve: 85
Return: 55
Volley: 85
Power: 75
Speed:80
Stamina: 60

This would still give you a pretty dominating S&V game, and a reasonable chance to break. If you are doing pretty well on offense, you could always take some points from Serve, Volley, Speed, or Stamina and put them on the groundstrokes or return.

I've been playing all night with this:

FH 80
BH 80
Serve 90
Return 40
Volley 80
Power 70
Speed 80
Stamina 40

It works pretty well.

how you can handle your 60 fh-bh in a baseline duell ? thats hard to handle for shure
or you can continue s-v with this setup ?

I couldn't play with FH/BH that low, to be honest. I think my minimum is 70.

[Rob ITST]

I will only set backhand below 70. I've used a weak backhand for so long that I'm used to slicing it to play defense. Eventually they have to hit to my forehand, or if they don't then it gets much easier to risk my backhand since I know where the ball is going.

me too. but sherlock handle this excellent in our matches with se-vo.
i cant remember he also played se-vol by returngames or not .
to start in a rally from the line with a 60 fh-bh about a 90 stacked player sounds very difficult for me.

I tried a new guy against djarvik last night, and I'm pretty happy how it came out.
fh 75
bh 70
srv 80
rtrn 70
vlly 60
pwr 70
spd 80
stm 55

I'd have to move 1 point if it was for a sim thing, but whatever. Biggest change for me was volley below 70 and return MUCH higher. Works great, I think that's a new fixture for me - higher return. Decent strokes on both sides and I can still volley well enough.

Oh - and I tied my record with this guy on the WT - disconnected against in 2 points on the opponent's serve! I think he had 100 power and speed, 90 serve and 80s on fh bh. He was flashing red stamina on the third point and gave up, HAHAHA.

Yes, it was a very exciting match, indeed. And emate have won almost the same amount of volley points as my Sim Dent I have decided to play my next SIM tournament/Tour as a SV.

I think I did OK, emate?

[emate007]

Yeah, I only remember 2 easy volleys you bricked out or gave me an easy pass. The rest of the time you were up there I had to pull a great shot out of nowhere or I lost on your next volley...

One thing that confused me at first was why your weaker backhand seemed stronger than your forehand. I didn't realize Dent was ambidextrous .

[djarvik]

Simple, I risked every time the ball came to my BH. FH I risked much less.

Plus I made my Dent a lefty .....are you sure you were not seeing FH's?

I was actually very happy with my ground game as well yesterday, expected a worse turn out.

[emate007]

I meant I didn't notice he was a lefty until your second service game.

[djarvik]

I meant I didn't notice he was a lefty until your second service game.

ahhhh it's the "ambidextrous"



My English is "meh"

Sorry dude.

Sorta, I have never in my life been to Lithuania, but my roots are there. My father was born there. Then he moved to Moldova, then to Israel, then to USA. I have been around a bit.
