Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.48,0:00:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there's a very important footwork you must use to

Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.55,0:00:32.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.71,0:00:34.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when Gulbis just served and volleyed,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.03,0:00:36.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he split-stepped,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.67,0:00:38.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and during that movement going forward,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.59,0:00:40.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you wanna split step around the time your opponent hits,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.63,0:00:42.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually slightly after they hit.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.39,0:00:43.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I want you to guess
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.07,0:00:46.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where Gulbis split steps.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.32,0:00:49.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Does he split step on the court
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.28,0:00:51.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here,

Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.29,0:00:59.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is a really important distinction to understand
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.36,0:01:01.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in order to win more certain volley.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.40,0:01:05.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Does he split step in front of the service line as he's coming forward?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.48,0:01:07.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Does he split step on the service line,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.08,0:01:10.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or does he split step in the middle of no man's land?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.45,0:01:15.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The answer to this is the key to winning more points
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.91,0:01:17.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,during a serve and volley.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.71,0:01:18.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, let's look.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.75,0:01:19.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's Gulbis,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.03,0:01:21.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's the serve,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.27,0:01:24.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and let's watch Gulbis's feet as he's coming forward.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.94,0:01:27.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's the split step.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.79,0:01:28.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's his split step.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.76,0:01:30.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The split step occurs
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.42,0:01:32.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the middle of no man's land.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.90,0:01:36.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most recreational players I talked to about serving and volleying
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.70,0:01:40.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think they're supposed to get up to the service line at least
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.38,0:01:43.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by the time the opponent makes contact with the ball.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.42,0:01:45.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's basically impossible to do that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.09,0:01:51.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unless your opponent is standing way back at the fence, or you serve so slowly
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.25,0:01:55.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you buy yourself the time to get into the service line,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.57,0:01:58.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which you wouldn't want to do because you're just hitting a very soft serve.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.74,0:01:59.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now you'll always get people say,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.69,0:01:59.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yeah,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.85,0:02:00.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if you get a kick serve,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.77,0:02:01.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can get up there.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.49,0:02:01.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can't.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.89,0:02:03.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It doesn't doesn't matter what serve you hit,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.85,0:02:05.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're all going to be too fast.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.65,0:02:10.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what you want to learn is to split step in the middle of no man's land.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.25,0:02:12.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What you might want to do when you're practicing serving volley
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.25,0:02:16.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is put like a drop down line or just a spot
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.33,0:02:17.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the middle of no man's land.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.97,0:02:19.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when you serve,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.37,0:02:22.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you come forward and you split step and you can see that he's straddling
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.22,0:02:24.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that spot.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.61,0:02:25.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.33,0:02:27.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he comes forward and volleys.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.30,0:02:27.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.41,0:02:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll notice his volley.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.29,0:02:31.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, he's making contact right there,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.29,0:02:33.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,his right foot is touching
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.73,0:02:34.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the service line.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.06,0:02:39.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the split step happens in the middle of no man's land.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.98,0:02:41.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's the split step
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.62,0:02:42.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,line,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.39,0:02:45.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then the first volley is around
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.14,0:02:47.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the service line.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.62,0:02:51.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many players think the split step is here and the volley is up here and it's just not.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.58,0:02:54.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you're someone who serves in volleys and you don't think
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.81,0:02:57.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the footwork that happens in between the serve and volley,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.14,0:03:00.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what you're most likely doing is rushing the net.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.89,0:03:02.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To lose at a faster rate,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.21,0:03:03.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as Vic Braden would say.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.56,0:03:06.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, you're making yourself susceptible to a pass because,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.57,0:03:07.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or a lob,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.57,0:03:09.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because you're running in so fast that you
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.45,0:03:12.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can't change direction to get to those balls.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.13,0:03:13.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You want to serve,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.53,0:03:14.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,take two or three steps forward,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.05,0:03:18.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then split step in the middle of no man's land.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.33,0:03:19.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That gets you balanced,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.77,0:03:23.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you can come forward and have a much easier time of winning the point.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.68,0:03:29.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now if you'd love to use the same strategies the pros use to win their matches,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.76,0:03:33.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you got to pick up The Singles Playbook by Fuzzy Yellow Balls.
