Part One: Suspicions with high percentage

Playing high percentage doubles includes two things: positioning and choosing goals. Which of the different formations will give your team the chance to win the point? Then, from that lineup, what are the shooting with higher percentage to execute?

Positioning

IN 4.0Level and above the team checking net wins point 85% of the time. Here are three reasons why:

1 . For most players, Vollyys are technically easier to hit than strokes. Land shocks require more preparations, longer oscillations and intense movement and time. For the most part, Vollyys only require that the ready to turn your shoulders move one or two steps, and then push your record forward with minimal tracking. If two equal ability players are inserted into a land exchange/volleyball exchange, Baseliner will usually be lost first.

One main purpose in the doubles is to force your opponents to hit the ball so that you can hit it aggressively. This means that (at the right time) you can finish the point either by running a volleyball on your opponent’s feet or by hitting in the middle. You can’t drive “down” from the beginning, just in the net.
When your team checks the net, you get time away from your opponents. Your shooting will seem to have more rhythm, and they have to hit a quality blow every time they hit the ball. If they don’t do this, you can finish the point with a stroke.

So, yes, the formation of the highest percentage is two players in the net. However, to win, your team must move well and voluntarily voluntarily. You should also be able to predict the lobes and drives and hit hard expenses. These are skills that take time to develop. Your current level of play will dictate how successful this lineup will be.

If you are a team in 3.5 Level or below, one -way formation, one back is likely to give you the opportunity of the highest percentage to win matches. There is no shame in this. What is what is – for now. However, if you want to climb to 4.0 Level, spend a lot of practical time developing your net skills.

Selection of shot

While angles and alleys can earn points at the lowest levels (where players do not cover the court properly) and the elderly tennis (where both players and ball move at a slow pace), in a quick game, in pairs, most points are won by hitting in three places:

In the middle

The blow between the court always creates an element of confusion for the other team. Always is always a pleasure to see your opponents give each other “Where were you?” Take care of your purpose goes intact between them.

Plus, when playing the center, your opponents need to create their own angles – a difficult thing to do. Finally, if you hit the center and do not hit the ball well, you will probably still keep it in the game. When you go for the alleys and angles, just to lose your target, you will surely lose the point with a mistake.

IN

Don’t try to hit the shots your opponents can’t touch – his shooting can’t come back.

Countless times I have seen a player lose a light volleyball because he tried to keep him away from his opponent instead of hitting his feet.

Forget about ‘keeping it’ from your opponents – you will make a lot of mistakes. Instead, work to place the ball in difficult areas of their body (feet and thighs) to force them to lose. If they manage to get the ball again, it is likely to be an easy site you can attack.

Over their heads

The lobby is the most powerful shot in tennis. From the powerful, I don’t want to say the rhythm. I mean impact on the point. Be it a low, offensive lobby to push your opponents out of nets or high caravids, deep protectors that gives you time to recover, every high -level team understands the benefits of an effective lobby. Is an indispensable shot.

When the teams in 4.0 Level and above compete, they play long, strategic strategies with many lobster. These players have taken over the growth of the ego to hit that rare world/lucky stroke and realize that the lobe is one of their most effective weapons.

When your opponent receives the network control, and you are not sure you can drive a low kick, lobe. Force them to move back and hit one above, the most physically demanding shot in the game.

To summarize: check the net and earn your points by hitting in the middle, at the feet of your opponent or on his head.

One last point: Avoid the alley obsession

Trying to hit your opponent’s alley is one of the lowest percentages in the doubles. That’s why:

The alley is right 54 Extensive inch, plus the network is higher at the edges than in the center. Stay at the beginning and jump and hit ten balls, aiming for the alley. You will see how difficult it is to execute the goal.
To hit the alley, you usually need to change the direction of the ball. Not an easy thing to do.
If you do not hit the goal perfectly, you are giving your opponent two easy options to beat you: they can throw down the middle or pierce it in your partner.

Three scenarios you have to hit in the alley are if your opponent:

Leaves it open.
Volleys poor
Actively attempt

IN 4.0Level and above, the first two scenarios mostly disappear. Experienced players cover their alley and voltey well. Look at a quick look and, if the player is not moved to cover his alley, go for him. However, if he has, do not be stubborn, turn the ball and continue the point.

In high -level doubles, the only time to target the alley is when the net player is actively doing. Then, the random alleys or body purpose will help keep it honest.
