Why "Return of Serve" Will Transform Your Game

  • The return of serve is the most underpracticed shot in tennis. Therefore, it's often the weakest in a player's game. In the course, Dave will teach you proven, "plug and play" techniques to help you win more matches

  • You'll learn how to deal with incoming balls of different speeds and spins through both simple and advanced footwork patterns

  • After completing the course your ability to read a serve will have greatly increased, and you'll find you make the right decision at the right time during matches

  • Never catch the ball late again! Dave will walk you by the hand and show you how to always be prepared for any situation

  • Find more power on the return whilst using less energy! Efficiency is everything in tennis - being efficient more often will help you dominant your opponent

  • As with all of our courses, you can implement everything you learn in your own home, during these unprecedented "Lock Down" times and continue to improve your game. Imagine how far ahead you could be of your competitors by the time the courts open up again!
