Tough choice, somewhere between Counter Puncher and Machine Baseliner. Your serve makes it hard for me to place you in Counter Puncher...but that is your ground game...I am always amazed an the winner you generate on the run.
Yeah...probably a Counter Puncher + Big Serve.

...on the second thought, you do like to attack more so then wait for opening...so Machine Baseliner

:wee :lol:

And a great S&V player, probably the best, or at least the most competitive with that style.

Blasters pound the ball into the corners ... down the line ... inside out. They jerk you from one side to the other putting you in the position of constantly being on the defensive. Any ball is fair game for them to “go for broke.” Most points against Blasters are over in less than ten shots; usually from the Blaster’s winner ... or unforced error.

I think you are a 2 b. - Machine Baseliners. I always was jealous of how consistently heavy you hit the ball.

But don't ask me only :lol: I mean some may have a complete different feeling about your game.

2 c. - Soft-Baller Baseliners are tireless players with excellent footwork and anticipation. They always seem to be where they need to be to cut down your angles of attack. You cannot get them to engage you in a power exchange. They seem to absorb all the power of your shots and redirect it with good deep placement, but they won’t give you any pace to work with. You must always supply your own power. This player exhausts you ... physically and mentally.



From my experience against you, i'm sure you adapt your game depending who you are playing against, which is great btw


Thanks Xavi.

To me you are a 4 a. - Spin Doctor: players are the highest developed of the Junk Ballers. They stroke the ball with pace (when they wish) but also with crazy slices, side spins, topspins and some spins we don’t yet have names for. Spin Doctors keep you off-balance, wrong footed and clumsily compensating for their shots by altering your own strokes. They are serious threats to both players who Attack the Net and Baseliners.

Most players would rather have a root canal than play these guys. Their tennis seems as much “psychological warfare” as it is “real tennis” competition. While Spin Doctors’ opponents frequently “lose their cool” during matches, the Doctors themselves tend to be some of the most unflappable players you will encounter.


Altho I completely disagree with the second paragraph, I find playing you exciting and fun.....you like a "1000 piece puzzle", very frustrating at the beginning...but very fun mid way and extremely satisfying when solved. hahaha j/k lov playin ya! ;)


hahahaha yea moralspain you are a spin doctor.

@djarvik you fit into so many categories!

Damn! I didn't want to be the "authority" of this! :lol: We should all voice opinions.....all it is is an opinion.

Well, you are Blaster, for sure. You are always in Attack mode, altho you are a good counter puncher too....you rarely have to do it with you attacking game. You may not have Norberto's Venom on your shots, but you are more consistent then he is...it is near impossible to make you second-guess your timing.

IluvBillval:

I think you are mainly a Blaster (2a) - there is only one problem: like djarvik said, you are extremely consistant - I think TOO consistant to be a pure Blaster - sometimes you hit with such consistency that I'm not even sure if you play risk - too consistent for risk and too hard and well placed for non-risk...

So to me you are probably 70% Blaster 30% Machine Baseliner

Coolhand:

Probably the best Machine Baseliner besides Anteros - and a bit of a blaster...
Exactly like Anteros your average power is simply unbelievable!
