Topic 1: Being a S&V predominantly, I get quite a few lobs tossed in my direction, most of the high arcing variety. I've only been able to smash a few of them, but never really could determine the motion necessary to do it consistently. I went to practice to try and figure things out, but to no avail. Any tips on this would be most appreciated as I'm an avid S&V.
Topic 2: Which motion is necessary to perform those really high "moon" lobs? I've done my best with passing shots against the likes of Becker, Sampras, and other S&Vs. However, being able to send a ball way over their heads when they get in tight to the net would really ease a lot of pain, lol. I tried using the old Wii Sports way, but that only gave me medium height lobs that barely flew past the service line.
Also, when is the best time to send a lob? When the S&V are in tight to the net, or when they are at the service line?
Topic 3: Ok, I've browsed through various threads about serve speeds and abilities, and I've found a mixed bag of builds for other player types but the S&V. I know that they have a sort of bad rep online, but I'm an old school sort of guy when it comes to tennis. I like to end points before they begin. Currently, I'm a 5 star S&V with Roddick's serve, Hewitt's speed, and McEnroe's volley skill. I thought about using a Gold Hustle to be able to reach lobs and long passing shots, but I thought that having speed would make up for it.
