Understanding Tennis

Last night Matt Olson hit 2 home runs for the A’s– he goes long through the hit zone– you want to hit the tennis shot

we show you different starts to the serve–here Stan drop his racquet to his toes– nothing is correct — you need to have constant start

to get the step through hit both feet turn on the preparation

I am probably one of the readers of this website that watched Scott Perlstein play tennis in college.  We both attended Wisconsin where Scott excelled. 

these days as much as possible you want to bring your backside through on the hit–use all your pounds to hit

after you make contact with the serve you need to land balanced to help you quickly prepare for the next shot

we show many motion starts on the serve Tiafoe uses a pull across his chest start

the serve hit is an up and out hit– the toss must be in front to do this

in doubles the non hitter should follow the ball

at some point you need to hit the shot– it doesn’t matter what foot is in front

when you come to the net to join your partner get on the same line and form a wall– on paper the wall can cover

to make plays you can huddle or use hand signals–on the serve side some use three signals– type of serve, aim of serve and game

on the serve if you are going to bring the back foot in the back foot must come together with the front foot

when you are invited in come in– make the box to make your volley

bring the losing hand to the sky keeping the side of your wrist toward you– the thumb goes to the sky blocking the right door
