Understanding Tennis

you need to track the ball in all the way to the center of the racquet

on the the ways to get more power on your save is to use your legs and spring up into the serve

on the short incoming ball step up and give it a full power hit

keep the non hitting hand on your forehand rotation– helps compact the shot

when you are jammed fight it off by yanking up

keep  your feet moving — get back past the baseline if you are pulled in slightly

to absorb the power get back past the baseline to give you more time to react and track the shot down

at times to get below the incoming flight path you must get on the ground

point the racquet tip to the ground to uncrease the low to high swing

on the serve finish bring the hitting hand to the opposite pocket– hug the finish– Pare has the best hug in tennis

I like the tight racquet preparation on the two handed backhand– elbows in

on the slice shot have a slight lead with the bottom edge of the racquet to set the hit angle

it is bs that you can’t volley with 2 hands

on the low incoming slice your best response is to slice it back

as much as you can when you get lobbed cover your own side especially when your partner has formed the wall
