The Club Tennis Shot-Choice Handbook

Reading the Ball, Picking Targets, and Building Smarter Point Patterns

By Nandi Esposito

Your forehand looks great in practice. So why does the same ball disappear into the fence at 30-all?

Better tennis starts with better decisions. The Club Tennis Shot-Choice Handbook shows club and league players how to read an incoming ball, spot the opponent's position, choose a target with margin, and build a point around the shot they can actually make.

You'll work through the tactical choices that shape most recreational matches: when to rally crosscourt, when to reset a stretched point, how to handle a deep heavy ball, when to approach the net, and when the flashy winner deserves to stay in your imagination. Your racket is under no obligation to perform miracles every Tuesday night.

Inside, you'll find: - Practical tennis shot selection cues based on balance, contact height, spin, and court position. - Club tennis strategy for baseline exchanges, transition balls, volleys, lobs, and pressure points. - Clear tennis court positioning guidance so your recovery step supports the next shot. - High percentage tennis targets that give your shots realistic margin instead of treating every sideline like a bullseye. - Tennis decision making drills, match charts, adjustable pass marks, and a master decision card. - Tennis rally patterns for serve-plus-one play, crosscourt exchanges, defense, and attacking space. - Tennis match tactics for fatigue, scoreboard pressure, and opponents who refuse to cooperate.

The 16 chapters include exercises, on-court checklists, illustrative match situations, and four useful appendices: a master decision card, drill library, match ledger, and glossary. Suggested percentages and practice benchmarks are clearly identified as teaching examples, so you can measure what works for your own game.

Make the next shot a choice you can defend. Then make it a shot you can repeat.
