One of Salisbury’s strongest shots is his overhead, in doubles where lobs are very frequently used, it is close to impossible to win a point by lobbing Joe Salisbury. He also has a silky smooth single-handed backhand, like his partner Ram. Salisbury is coached by Justin Sherring, Louis Cayer and David O’Hare.
