Stop Getting Jammed by Deep Serves: Start Behind the Baseline
Summary
Universal Rackets fixes deep-serve trouble at the starting position, before the ball is hit. Standing on the baseline means a deep serve pushes you backward and jams the return.
Start a step or two behind the baseline so the deep serve lands in front of you. Then you move forward into the ball instead of retreating — the deep serve loses its whole advantage.
Key takeaways
- Baseline starts get jammed by deep serves
- Start one or two steps behind the line
- Step into the return; don’t back up into it
Action items
- Receive a bucket of deep serves from a step behind the line only
- Film whether your first move is forward or backward on deep returns
