Returning from inside the baseline?

[Rob ITST]

On TS3, returning from inside the baseline was not only effective against weak serves, but also against very strong serves. Not only that, but it was actually easier than returning from behind the baseline. Clearly, a flaw in the game that people were exploiting.

It always made me laugh when I'd see it. Still does, really. Even back then serves into the body were pretty effective at causing errors in the risk or crappy returns. Once in a while though you'd get the guys who used the risk slice return all the way in THAT was a bitch.
