Why does Power Baseliners suck so much?

It seems like there is no advantage playing as Power Baseliner. They are not even hitting THAT hard because they are so slow so you cannot always position them well for the shot. Then there are varied or counter players who will hit even faster and even run every shot. For example playing as Power Baseliner against Varied is almost impossible - Varied will hit everything back and even with the same Power. Hopefully TE4 will improve this, because I like ballbashing but it is not possible on Elite control against other types, especially Varied.

Hello,

the Power Baseliner style has 0 influence on your running speed & reach (none of the styles has, actually) => https://www.managames.com/tennis/doc/Te ... html#style .

But there must be something, because as a Puncher I can beat best players online but as a PB I have no chance. They run every shot and my shots are even not powerful, this really sucks. I hope in TE4 Power Baseliners will have more power.

The only advantage of the Puncher over the PB is the better reach at the net.

Everybody will have more power in TE4. You can try out the current state of things here : topic15-30485.php .
