Which stroke gives you the most difficulty?
I saw the results of an old online poll published in a tennis magazine(2002) and thought it'll be interesting to try the same poll here and find out what results we'll get from MTF in 2006!
I'll reveal the results of the old online poll from the tennis magazine when this poll is over.

Re: Which stroke gives you the most difficulty?
Do you mean when we play ourselves??
If so then probably the smash, I suck at those, but I kick ass at bounce smashes.

Re: Which stroke gives you the most difficulty?
High backhand drive.. the timing and movement on this shot always gives me problems.. trying to step back and then wait for the ball to fall and moving forward through the drive presents me with nightmares!

No way. I love backhand drives, they are quite tricky but I just love them. Such a beautiful stroke especially with a one handed backhand like mine

Serve is tricky for me too. I don't mind first serves but my second serve is rubbish, either it is weak or there is a high chance of a DF.

I don't have any videos of me playing tennis I'm afraid. Just imagine Gasquet but a bit taller, a bit mmore ugly  , a lot worse at tennis.

Re: Which stroke gives you the most difficulty?
I have to choose serve. It's the most inconsistent part of my game, it's hard for me to get a high 1st serve % without taking off too much power.

Re: Which stroke gives you the most difficulty?
I hit every overhead out. I'm just sooo damn short.  Hey, I never had any formal coaching. |
