Episode Notes
This episode is a deep dive into the overhead, one of the most avoided and undercoached shots in tennis. Steve and Dave break down the mechanics, the mental barriers, and the drills needed to build confidence and competency at the net, making the case that without a reliable overhead, a player's entire net game is compromised.
The conversation covers everything from grip, swing path, and the quarterback position, to situational drills and the optical illusions that cause players to move too slowly on a lob. The message is clear: you have to love overheads, chart overheads, and practice them before and after every session if you want to be a complete player.
