Many of you might be asking: “What in the world is the third shot?” Here is the scenario: The serving team is at a disadvantage because the returning team will be at the net before the return of serve is touched by the receiving team. Ideally the receiver hits a deep return of serve (the second shot) and moves quickly to the kitchen line–thus the receivers have “taken over the net.” The serving team is pinned on the baseline because they have to wait for the ball to bounce (double bounce rule). In fact, when your team is on the baseline you are in a “defensive” position, not an “offensive” position. If you hit a hard shot from the baseline against a higher level opponent you will give them all kinds of angles to hit a winning shot right back at you. This is much different than just smacking the ball. This keeps the opposing team on their toes and will mix it up a bit. The key here is that it is a low shot and is dropping towards the floor, making it very difficult to return. Hitting a Lob. The lob shot is a difficult shot to master and becomes even more difficult in outdoor play because you have to judge the wind. A lob hit from the baseline has to be hit so precisely for it to be effective that it is almost not worth trying. If you do lob, you should be aiming for one of your opponents’ backhands–ensuring a weaker overhead return if you fall short. The lob can be highly effective if executed correctly and especially successful if the opposing team doesn’t communicate and move well. What exactly is the soft dink shot from the baseline? Or, you will hit the soft shot into the net. If you watch some of the higher level players, you will notice that this third shot has very little back swing. It almost looks as if they push the ball over the net. If it is too high the other team will put it away, however many times when players go to put the ball away they hit directly at you, so in this case get ready to block it back over. Marsha from Toledo, OH asks: I hear so many players talk about the third shot being a soft shot so that your team can get to the kitchen line. Saints Row: Money Shot. The game was said to take place between Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third, and would have built players' enthusiasm up for the latter. Redactions The Third Shot and Beyond (1945) by Alex Wellerstein, published April 25th, 2012. Many of you might be asking: “What in the world is the third shot?” Here is the scenario: The serving team is at a disadvantage because the returning team will be. It is better to stop in no man’s land balanced and ready to move in any direction than a little closer to the net and not balanced or ready. One other way you will know that you hit a great third shot is if the other team pops it up and it becomes a kill for your team. ![]() The Third - Wikipedia. The Third(Japanese: .
