Would You Say Lew Hoad Was A Serve And Vollyer?

He was virtually unbeatable when at his best. But it is said he hit winners from anywhere - even way behind the baseline. So was he purely a serve vollyer - of course they all serve vollyed back then - but was that his game - was he a net rusher? Any student of the game have a view?

    Great player, Lew Hoad. Rest in Peace.

    yes, he rushed the net. As you said, everybody did back in 50's and 60's. Hardly any two-handed backhand players at all.
