  5. Excuses! Why Don't Club Players Use More I-Formation?

    Excuses! Why Don't Club Players Use More I-Formation?

    I recently posted an Instagram video asking why club doubles players don't use I-Formation. It now has over 210,000 views and 100 comments, many of which are excuses. In this episode, I break down the five most common excuses and share my rebuttal. I hope that this will convince some of you to start using serve formations more often to help you win matches. Here are the excuses... "Our serves aren't good enough.""I'll get hit in the back of the head by my partner's serve.""Club players are too slow.""The net player would be too scared." OR "the net position isn't fun.""The returner will rip down the line."At the end, I share the only valid reason to never use I-Formation. ----- **Join the #1 Doubles Strategy Newsletter for Club Tennis Players** New doubles strategy lessons weekly straight to your inbox **Become a Tennis Tribe Member** Tennis Tribe Members get access to premium video lessons, a monthly member-only webinar, doubles strategy Ebooks & Courses, exclusive discounts on tennis gear, and more.
