If you’re playing a tall or quick opponent who comes to net often, you might have better luck aiming at his belly button than trying to pass him. A low body shot will give your opponent limited angles for volley winners. The more spin you use, the better. Heavy spin will cause the ball to pop up off your opponent’s racquet and give you a better chance to pass or lob on the second ball.
Tip: Low Blow
