Speaker: 00:00:37

Hi, I'm Rob Carver, author of the book,

Speaker: 00:00:39

366 Days of Tennis, a tip a day to improve your game.

Speaker: 00:00:43

And today I got a great tip that'll make you

Speaker: 00:00:45

a better doubles player.

Speaker: 00:00:46

Recently a player asked me when it was a good time to poach.

Speaker: 00:00:50

And I asked the player, was it good to poach

Speaker: 00:00:53

if the ball's low or is it better to poach

Speaker: 00:00:55

if the ball's high?

Speaker: 00:00:56

She said it's easier to poach if the ball's high.

Speaker: 00:00:59

So I want you to keep this in mind.

Speaker: 00:01:01

If you're inside the service box

Speaker: 00:01:03

and you can get to a volley that's above net height

Speaker: 00:01:06

and you have balance poach, I don't care what the score is,

Speaker: 00:01:09

I don't care how good your partner is at the baseline.

Speaker: 00:01:12

If you can poach, you make things difficult on your opponent.

Speaker: 00:01:15

All right, look for the high ball,

Speaker: 00:01:16

have some balance and go get it.

Speaker: 00:01:18

Have a great day.

Speaker: 00:01:19
