Analysis for the every different driving technique in long corners

In tennis, Roger Federer had a one-handed backhand and Rafael Nadal had a two-handed backhand. Each one had pros and cons, and the problem was that you had to pick one and stict with it.

The beautiful thing about our sport is you don’t need to commit to only one technique.

There are times and places when you can drive a different line to achieve outcomes A/B/C, and other times (even on the same track) when you can drive a a totally different line to achieve outcomes X/Y/Z.

Knowing the pros and cons for each style is going to allow you to make these changes and decisions better to get the best of both worlds.

The line is the most important thing in our sport because

• The steering wheel is a weight management tool, and
• The line informes the steering wheel what to do, but it is the steering wheel that informs the pedals what do.

This paper provides clear direction on:

- The definitions for each style,
- How to execute both styles and drive them effectively,
- Which is faster for pure performance,
- Which looks after the tyres better,
- The advantages of each, and
- When to use which style.

The styles presented include tight line, short corner, zero apex and early turn in.
