Coach Kent's Tip of the Month

Lessons from the Grass

Grass is a fast surface, the ball skids through the court faster and lower than on a hard or clay court. Because of these differences, players with offensive shots and big serves are more effective on a grass court (think Pete Sampras).

Though few of us are lucky enough to have played on grass, many of the attacking strategies employed at Wimbledon can be quite effective on your local hard courts.

1. Chip and Charge: Slice or ‘chip’ the ball, and then approach the net ready for a volley. Slice keeps the ball low, and this offensive strategy puts pressure on your opponent to produce a good passing shot.

2. One-Two Punch: Look to finish the point early with a short combination of strong serve out wide and then strong groundstroke to the open court.

3. Serve and Volley: a-la Pete Sampras, serve and then immediately approach the net looking to finish the point with a volley. Effective as a surprise tactic.
