Record 2 2011-12-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

A shot that directs the ball diagonally from one corner of the court to the opposite corner; the ball so hit.

CONT

Cross court shots are played diagonally, i.e. right court to right court.

CONT

The cross court shot prevents the opponent from getting set on the baseline and preparing himself for an attacking approach shot.

OBS

Many purists have tried in vain to maintain the distinction between a "shot" and a "drive", the latter yielding a ball with a lot of pace while the former term being more generic, i.e., not necessarily a ball hit hard, but simply the result of the racquet making contact with the ball - a slice backhand or drop volley are both "shots" that require more touch than power. The term "drive" implies the use of power [and is a groundstroke].

PHR

Angled crosscourt shot.

PHR

To meet a crosscourt shot.
