Tennis Clay Court Tips Slow, wet conditions will challenge your patience and your wits. If you have heard announcers or players speak of heavy conditions, they are referring to how heavy the weight of the ball feels when you strike it, how difficult it is to generate ball speed and spin, and how low and slow the ball bounces. It becomes all but impossible to hit a pure winner. And trying to overpower shots in heavy conditions can hurt your arm, wrist, and shoulder. So, what should you do? Expect and embrace longer points. Work on placement and depth of shot. Employ the drop shot and lob regularly. Don’t waste energy on hard serves. Get the first in, preferably to your opponent’s weaker side. Move in on your return and see if you can take control of the point early with a well-placed shot that gets your opponent out of position. Make the other player run more than you. One last tip. These conditions tend to level the playing field by reducing the effectiveness of the stronger player’s weapons. Whether you expected to dominate or didn’t think you had a chance, be mentally prepared for a close match.
