Beat the Big Hitter at Tennis

Compact Returns, Deep Placement, Lobs, and Rally Patterns for Winning Against Powerful Opponents

They hit harder. You can still make them play your match.

You know the opponent: a heavy forehand, a fast first serve, and a rally ball that seems to arrive before you've finished turning your shoulders. Trying to hit even harder usually turns your match into their favorite kind of tennis.

Beat the Big Hitter at Tennis gives recreational players a practical approach to how to beat hard-hitting tennis players with smarter positioning, repeatable strokes, and well-chosen targets.

Inside, you'll learn to: - Absorb pace in tennis with shorter preparation, reliable contact points, and controlled defensive replies. - Develop a compact tennis swing technique for fast rallies without sacrificing balance or depth. - Use deep tennis groundstrokes to recover court position and keep opponents from attacking every short ball. - Return big tennis serves with simple, realistic adjustments to your stance, target and backswing. - Practise tennis lob and angle drills that test a hitter's movement, overheads and recovery. - Build a tennis strategy against power hitters based on what the opponent actually does, rather than assuming every hard hitter has the same weakness. - Stay patient under pressure, chart common errors, and write a match plan you can use between points.

The book takes you from identifying different types of pace and spin to selecting the right return, defending deep, using slice, serving with intention, playing doubles and managing a match when your opponent has the bigger shots. Along the way, you'll find drills, target standards, checklists, a match journal and a progression matrix you can take to the court.

You don't need a radar gun, a new racket or a professional's forehand. You need enough time to prepare, a target worth aiming at and the discipline to repeat the right decision.

Make the power hitter hit one more ball, from one less comfortable place.
