The fast pace of Stickman Tennis rewards players who think one shot ahead rather than reacting to each ball individually. Here is how to stay ahead of the rally.
Return to center after every shot. The quick ball speed in Stickman Tennis means you have less time to cover the court. Being in the center when your opponent hits gives you the best chance of reaching any shot, regardless of where they aim.
Use flat shots for speed and topspin for depth. Flat shots in Stickman Tennis travel faster but land shorter, making them good for finishing points. Topspin shots are slower but kick up after bouncing, pushing opponents behind the baseline and creating space for your next shot.
Slice low to the net when approaching. A low slice in Stickman Tennis forces your opponent to hit up on the ball, producing a higher return that you can volley down for a winner. It is the most reliable approach pattern in the game.
In doubles, communicate court coverage with your partner. One player covers the net while the other handles baseline shots. Switching roles mid-point in Stickman Tennis creates confusion for opponents who have locked onto your positioning pattern.
Anticipate serves by watching the toss animation. The stick figure serving motion in Stickman Tennis has subtle differences depending on serve direction. A toss slightly to the left usually means a wide serve, while a centered toss indicates a body serve. Reading these cues gives you a head start on the return.
