Want to know how to improve your swing? Follow these important guidelines: Step #1: Get Ready For The Hit! Keep your racquet back at all times. Once the ball has left your opponent’s racquet, you must move into position. It’s important to keep your racquet back while positioning yourself to enable a clean shot. But, before heading toward the incoming ball remember to… 1. Recognize that the ball is going to your forehand side. 2. Establish a balanced sideways stance as you begin to position yourself for the stroke by letting go with your non-dominant hand. At this point your racquet should be pointing away from your intended target and positioned about waist high. 3.

This does not need to be the case if you are willing to try new things. Martina Navratilova at 46 years old once said: “Life. We’re lucky to be here. It’s about learning and our time is limited. I’m still learning, to do better, still studying strategy. I’m technically better now than I was in my heyday.” If you have the basics of hitting a tennis forehand in place and now you want to improve it to another level try these tips: - For a solid compact swing, keep your right elbow close to your tummy at impact. - As you follow through make sure that the racket face is up in front of you and the contact surface is facing your opponent on its extension and rotational movement upward. - Make sure your stroke finishes shoulder high. Your arm at the elbow/forearm and your hand/racket form two 90 degree angles. - If you want to increase the speed of your stroke DO NOT hold the racket throat at the end of the swing with your non dominant hand. Let the racket head speed decrease naturally as you …

But, you can also have fun with a friend or parent. - Tennis the easy way! How to learn a natural forehand in a basic type of stroke for people just learning the game: Ground-strokes: THE TENNIS FOREHAND Start by just holding one tennis ball, bounce it of the ground with one hand and catch it again either with one hand or both. Do this 10 or 15 times alone.Get a partner (parent/coach) standing about 6 to 8 feet in front of you and start throwing a tennis ball under handed towards each other (bouncing once or twice) and catching it again with one hand or both. Do this 15 or 20 times.* Repeat step 2 but instead of catching the ball use the open palm of your dominant hand to gently hold and push the ball towards your partner in an upwards motion.

Remember use the open palm of your hand.As a beginner you should not be concerned with grips, now just ho …

.. brought to mind the fact that some of the very best athletes have chosen other top athletes to be their spouses. Something in common? Chris takes the (wedding) cake in this regard, having done this not once, not twice, but three times with athletes of three different sports and three different nationalities. She tied the knot (rather loosely) before with British tennis player John Lloyd and American skier Andy Mill.
