Overall question on drop shots:

I am very good in playing drop shots on the run, usually do it 2-3 times in 2 sets on WT, i can hit those 8 of 10 times.

Now someone means it is considered cheese on ITST...is it?

I have a question regarding dropshots and slices

First: is it chessy to do drop shots when ure oponnent is a the net? i mean not every point just like once in 4 points to try mess up his timing.

Second: is it cheesy to use short slices to try drag ur uponnent close to the court? again not every time just once in a while(cause i played a guy in WT that had 98 power he just stood 5 feet behind the baseline hitting crazy power shots on me and sometimes i did a short slice, after i beat him 3-0 he called me cheesy in a message).

Defensive drops are pretty much always cheesy.

I'd say, it depends on the situation. If someone is abusing the drop volley, then I'll use drop shots in retaliation.

If it's abused, then yes it's cheesy. But every once in a while, especially if the opponent has low speed or volley, or if they are camping out way behind the baseline, then I'd just call that smart tactics.

Personally, I don't find anything you do to be cheesy. You're just a damn good player (one of the only guys I can't ever beat). I do find your setup (Welsh, with 80-90 on both wings) a little over powered, but that's what a sim tour is for.
