A technical episode dedicated to the important concepts and coaching of taking the ball and/or on the rise. In modern tennis, players have moved further and further behind the baseline, but a few still have the ability to step in and attack the ball early. It's a skill that can be challenging to perfect, but incredible valuable to utilize. Joey discusses when and how to work on taking the ball early, as well as a larger discussion on court positioning.
