Top Spin 4 Shot Survey

[AndyMurray ITST]

Hi, I have been experimenting a lot with control shots today and have really realised how deep this game is. I was previously mainly using power shots and now have been mainly using control shots, and it feels like a different game. I was wondering what everyone else does on here. I want to try and get better!

1. Do you mainly use control or power shots?
2. When do you tend to use power shots and when do you use control shots?
3. Which is your most dominant or most used shot, Slice, Topspin or flat?
4. Do any of you use Serve and volley regularly?

1. Control shots

2. Control shots for most rallies. Power shots to change things up, go down the line, put away a short ball.

3. Top spin

4. Use regularly for my female player.

1. Do you mainly use control or power shots?
Control shots

2. When do you tend to use power shots and when do you use control shots?
Control shots for baseline rallies. Power shots when I'm pushed far beyond the baseline in an effort to make sure the ball bounces near their baseline.

3. Which is your most dominant or most used shot, Slice, Topspin or flat?
Flat if I'm aiming to use a Shot Counter against a strong shot. Topspin if I really need to pull someone wide. It's great for angles but the trajectory gives opponent more time to get to the ball.

4. Do any of you use Serve and volley regularly?
Not on my character. Has 50 Volley, and I'm reluctant to try it too much online.

1. Control shots
2. I tend to only use power shots when I have an opening to go for a winner
3. Depends on which player I'm using, but I'd probably say top spin
4. My female player is completely serve and volley; she's got 94 volley skill.

1. Do you mainly use control or power shots?
probably a 50/50 between the 2 to be honest

2. When do you tend to use power shots and when do you use control shots?
Power when going for winners when behind the base line, control when putting away just inside and also when trying to force an error playing a really deep slice

3. Which is your most dominant or most used shot, Slice, Topspin or flat?
40% slice and 40% topspin leaving 15% flat and 5% drop shots

4. Do any of you use Serve and volley regularly?
unfortunately not, perhaps in a few months when i'm really confident with the game

I mainly use powershots

I use powershots to kill a short ball. I use control shots when I'm stretch wide or to add more variety and hit behind someone.

I use mostly flat shots, flat/topspin 60/40. I start to slice when I panic so I can gain control of the rally.

I'm more of a Big serve and big groundstroke. I do approach the net on many occasions to cut off angle. I would only go to net after a big serve.
