S&V Society (SVS)

[djarvik]

If you will consider Gulbis, Dolgo or Raonic as a SV, then I am in

Like Villa said Raonic would be the best pick for S&V, but Dolgo can play it as well, and Gulbis would want to play it to have a quick match.

But tbh I don't think you'll be playing S&V

I plan to play at least 70% SV with Raonic and generally will look to come forward. However, I will not exclusive SV. So I am asking for a part-time membership.

I doubt if it will be different; human players can also decide to return short if they see that's effective. I hope that if one serves really big for example that the return player can not always play short cause in real life the returner would be happy alreay just to get the ball back, there's not a lot of control on a lot of big serve returns.

It will be different playing human opponents. And S&HV is very common when playing S&V, especially if you're a bit slow towards the net. S&V is all about coming to the net directly after serving. That sets you up for a volley, but occasionally it can indeed be a halfvolley.

Will you be playing on the 360- or ps3-tour?

[djarvik]

If that is how you feel guys, than I am the only true SV guy here I have absolutely no problem hitting the first volley, with Fed. I can't imagine not being able to with more volley stats and a proper coach.

I think you are doing it all wrong, as far as controls. That's all.

[VillaJ100]

Yeah i can hit a volley 8/10 times now. Takes some getting used to from TS3!

[Capriatifan]

you're the king of SV Djarvik, we're the crown princes. haha, no seriously if you ARE able to volley most of the times then I guess I need to work on my skills a bit more!

Well, lets put it that way, when I try, I can do it almost every time. Yes, sometimes it ends up being a half-volley. But most times it is volley.

Biggest key is serve placement. Mediocre placement will lead to a good return, and we all know what return that is!

[VillaJ100]

Whoa Al you best delete that comment before rob sees it

[Rob ITST]

Too late.



I'm certainly not a member atm, but if I decide to get a new console, I'll be a full time member.

[TomBs]

Just get a console Ps3 preferably

I'll leave you on the 360-list for now as a member of honour

[TomBs]

Played the demo a couple of times again. My problem is not getting to the net, but actually giving direction to the volleys. Sometimes I put them away, but so often they land somewhere in the middle of the court

If you could put them away all the time, then everyone would play S&V, yes?

[TomBs]

Totally agree with you Cro, but that's not what I mean.
It's just that I can hardly give direction to any volley at all.

You need "Excellent first volley" skill and a bit higher rating then Fed. Problem solved.

[TomBs]

Yeah that's a bit tough in the demo
But you'd say that Fed should be able to give some better direction..

[djarvik]

No. I would not say that. Federer is an OK SV player. He can SV in real life mainly because of his serve placement, that causes the returner to block the return. He is not a natural SV guy thou.
