There are a ton of different shots in tennis, which creates a lot of room for creativity when it comes to trick shots, but if you really want to impress someone with your tennis skills throw in these 5 trick shots.

This shot involves hitting the ball around the net post (instead of over) and into the other side of the court. This is a legal shot in tennis.

The around the net post shot looks awesome, but the key to hitting the shot is really just getting the right shot to hit it off of. If you watch some of Nadal's best around the net post shots it is clear that you can curve the ball back into the court slightly, but still not enough to pull this shot off from normal court placement. Also it should be noted that in professional singles matches the net posts are moved into the doubles alleys which raises the net slightly, but makes this shot easier to pull off. This trick shot definitely takes some practice, but next time you are pulled really wide, look to see if you have an angle and considering hitting around the net post.

The backhand overhead is arguably not even a trick shot, but just a shot that very few people can hit. It is definitely a great shot to be able to hit as it will prevent you from having to run down lobs on your backhand side and should win you some points outright. Being able to almost do it back turned, no look is more of the trick shot version.

This shot involves hitting the ball onto your opponent's side, but with so much back spin that the ball bounces and kicks back over the net onto your side. Once the ball bounces on your side you win the point, but once the ball crosses the plane of the net onto your side your opponent is now allowed to make contact over the plane of the net.

The trick to this shot is just getting a ton of back spin. It is significantly easier to hit off of a topspin shot and is also easier to hit as a volley. When you start practicing this shot you will likely get a lot of trajectory, which would give your opponent plenty of time to get up to it, but also just doesn't look nearly as cool. Even if you get a solid bounce back towards you and it doesn't go over the net it is still an awesome shot. When you can pull this off with relatively little net clearance it is time to start showing it off and probably capture it on film.

"Tweener" refers to any shot that is hit between your legs, but while that is always impressive, the main trick shot is referring to the lob retrieval tweener. That means the shot involves running back to return a lob with your back to the net and hitting the ball through your legs. This is actually a very handy shot to have as long as you don't abuse it. It is extremely hard to read where you are hitting the ball and can be essentially the only shot you can hit on some tough lobs.

This is one of the toughest shots on here to learn. The trick is all in the timing. You have to be able to time it so you hit the ball very low to the ground and very close to your body, almost to the point where you run over it.

Overheads are a tricky shot for most people and adding in a well timed jump doesn't make it any easier. The jumping overhead gets you some extra reach, but it takes the number one spot mostly because it just looks awesome. Many times players do the jump for show and stylistically kick up their legs to make it look like they got way off the ground. Pete Sampras was the king of this shot, hitting them with tons of power, but Roger Federer's often more graceful version is pretty cool too.
