Strategy and Shot Selection

Key Points

• Avoid going down the line when you are behind the baseline
• Make sure you are balanced, inside the baseline and the ball is in your strike zone when going down the line
• Your opponent should be “off center” in the half of the court closer to the inside tramline when you hit down the line
• If you’re pulled out wide and past the “point of no return”, you can go for a winner down the line
• Your crosscourt shots should be deep or angled, pulling your opponent off the court
• Approach shots should generally be hit down the line
