In platform tennis, where quick reflexes and precise shots can make all the difference, mastering your serve and volley is essential. Did you know that 64% of points in platform tennis played are three shots or less for players with a 40+ PTI (Platform Tennis Index)? To gain an edge and consistently outplay your opponents, honing in on these skills is crucial for elevating your game. That's where our newest Serve and Volley feature comes in.
Serve and Volley is a training tool on our app designed for you to practice the most fundamental shot sequence in paddle tennis; the serve and subsequent volley. This AI-driven feature simulates realistic game conditions by combining advanced tracking technology with traditional training techniques.
When you use Serve and Volley, you're engaging in a focused practice that replicates real match scenarios. After you deliver a serve, the trainer tracks your position on the court and returns the ball to you for your next volley. This setup enables you to refine your paddle skills in a controlled environment, ensuring that you can practice these shots repeatedly and effectively.
Our Serve & Volley feature is designed for simplicity and efficiency. Here's how it works:
1. Setup: You can access the Serve & Volley tool on our app's home screen. Once you've clicked into the play screen, follow the visual instructions to position and angle the trainer correctly for optimal performance.
2. Configuration: Select which side you want practice your serve and volley (ad or deuce) and choose which level you want to start on. Levels range from 1 (beginner) to 5 (pro). You also have the option to add a delay in the trainer's return shot of up to two seconds.
3. Start Your Workout: When you hit play, the trainer will localize, making sure it's positioned correctly on the court. Once you're standing in the serve box, the trainer will prompt you to serve, after which you will approach the net for your volley. Return to the serve box and repeat until your session is over.
What sets Serve and Volley apart from other training tools is its use of artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional methods that rely on a partner, Serve and Volley utilizes AI to enhance your training experience in several ways:
Serve and Volley blends advanced AI technology with a user-friendly design to offer a practice experience like no other. As you integrate Serve and Volley into your training regimen, you'll discover how its unique features can elevate your game and move towards becoming a more confident player on the court.
