Very good lecture. Many good points about where to position yourself during play. However, since most people are visual learners, I believe some film emphasizing each point would have been beneficial. Perhaps there was and we just didn’t see it.
Thanks for the feedback! We're also believe having this visual reference is helpful. Have you taken a look at some of our other videos that might help?
The slice is under utilized as an approach shot thats why people get lob and pass a lot because in double it's hard to do an approach shot that will put someone in full stretch so if you go hard often go body approach shot if no angle available otherwise the pass will be in your feet if your approach shot is top spin... while a slice approach will give you a high volley more often.
Great input. Thank you! (Are you a coach!?)
Excellent lecture. However, the many points discussed would have been much better reinforced with a short video showing an example of each.
Thanks for the feedback Hambone!
Coach.... terrific tips on smart doubles play.
Happy to help!
Wow! This was an eye opener for me. I needed this (especially the part of getting lobbed). Thanks.
Thanks Miguel! Have you been able to use these tactics since we posted this video?
Great video on doubles! I definitely agree that the tactics involved in doubles is different from singles and worth highlighting.

The tactics are so different in doubles and singles aren't they!? We hope this video helped!
Scott coached me for years in Atlanta!! I miss his coaching so much! If you ever have an opportunity to take from him,you should!!
He's a great coach - and we're all lucky to have benefited from his experience. We're so glad you did too!
Awesome presentation Scott, really love the references to the theory of relativity (time and space), very high level of understanding and explanation-Many Thanks
Thanks for the feedback! While it's been some time since we posted this video, has it worked for your doubles game since?

Hey Luis! Our next annual US Tennis Congress takes place October 19-22 in Tucson AZ. You can sign up for advance notice about all our events at www.tenniscongress.com - we'd love to meet you!
I don't know why too many club players really love doubles, it's so involved and needs a lot of practice and tactics.
You're right! Hopefully these videos are helpful with practice and tactic ideas!
