Stick 'Em in Cement: Taj Hibbert on Playing D1, Building T3 Tennis, & Dominating in Doubles | Spin The Racket Ep. 25

Episode Description from the Publisher

Spin the Racket welcomes Taj Hibbert — coach, content creator, and the mind behind T3 Tennis — fresh off finishing his Division I career at Tennessee State University. Taj breaks down his game: an old-school serve-and-volley style built around applying pressure early and getting comfortable at the net. If he's grinding from the baseline? That's the tell he's not confident. G and Lu dig into his coaching philosophy too — why most recreational players just need to simplify, why movement gets overlooked, and how he's seen players jump a full level in six months when they commit to the process.The crew also gets into doubles strategy, and Taj drops a gem: hit your first two returns straight at the net person, every time — first or second serve. You might lose the point, but you'll own the match. Plus, the debate that never gets old — no serve or no forehand? Taj is firmly in the no forehand camp, and G finally has backup.Follow Taj at @T3TennisOfficial on Instagram and TikTok.
