what is a sparing shot in tennis???

Answer 1

I, too, have never heard the term Sparring Shot used previously.

However, I strongly suspect it's a shot that's hit intentionally to your hitting partner so that:

1. The two (or more) of you will be able to hit many more balls per session.

2. You don't waste as much time finding the ball and getting back into position.

3. You have more time to improve your technique.

NOTE: I "spar" all the time with my tennis friends, and have seen rapid improvement in my game.

Answer 2

I am interpreting your question as a shot that spares your energy.

For slightly more advance players, if you want a fairly consistant shot that spares you energy & effort (during a rally for example), would be a backhand slice. A lotta pro players will go to this when they're tired/lazy and just want to place the ball back deep and low. The slice or sometimes floating the ball back is not very taxing and gives you time to recover to center of the court or to slow down pace of rally.

Answer 3

I've been playing tennis for about 20 years and have never heard of that before. Sorry

Answer 4

A sparring partner in boxing helps one practice. Therefore, it would not be unreasonable to apply the meaning of sparring to tennis, so that a shot or hit of the ball in order to help a partner practice could be considered to be its meaning.

But i done never heard dat befowe. : )
