CHIP 'N DICE: The chip and forehand volley

Attack a serve by chipping and charging into the net.

Published Jun 14, 2016

When your opponent hits a weak second serve, try taking control of the point with a chip and charge. The key is to take the ball early, slice the return and immediately follow the ball to the net. Once you make the decision to use this strategy, it's important to fully commit and get in quickly.
