How many times have you
sprinted forward to get to a drop shot or short ball, only to
hit it out? Why does that happen? Because your forward momentum,
and your close proximity to the net, makes it very difficult to
swing slow enough to control the ball.
The solution is to
bunt the ball. The bunt is basically a volley
while running forward. See Punch
the Volley from previous tennis tips. Let's look at the
bunt.
As you run forward,
your momentum provides all the power you need
Run with your racket
out front and push through the ball at contact (like a
volley)
Aim the ball deep if
your opponent is coming in or drop shot them if they stay
back
The
bunt will help you control the ball when you
are at a full forward run, stay in the point
and up your winning percentage.
