From serves to returns, forehands to drop shots, and tactics to practice, these videos bring Bollettieri's teaching to life. Killer Forehand"Killer Forehand" offers a step-by-step explanation of the key components to develop the ultimate forehand weapon.

Tenacious Net PlayPlaying the net requires anticipation, good preparation, and proper technique on approach shots, volleys, half volleys, and overheads. Bollettieri teaches how to set up the point to get to the net and how to finish once you get there. Right Back Atcha ReturnsThe return is one of the most difficult shots in tennis because there is little time to react to a serve. This video looks at the technique, positioning, and strategy used to return power, spin, or kick serves. Bollettieri also teaches the right mind-set to break an opponent's serve. Deadly Drop Shots and LobsThis video explores two of the most underrated and underutilized weapons in tennis: the drop shot and the lob. Learning how and when to use the drop shot and lob can have a big impact on anyone's game. Bollettieri defines both shots and explains why, when, and how to use them. The drop shot is easily disguised and adds another dimension to the game. Similarly, knowing when and how to use the lob will have a big impact on your game. Examples of strategic shot combinations are provided, along with techniques and drills for perfecting the shots. Practice With PurposePractice time is a critical opportunity to improve.
