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. Move into final position for the shot by maintaining enough space between your body and the ball. This will allow for a more fluent stroke. Position your body to enable you to hit the ball when it is waist high. If the ball happens to be below your waist, bend your knees to lower your waist height. 4. Next, move the ra …

Why would the knee be such a trouble maker? The basic anatomy of the knee is fairly complex. This is no simple ball-and-socket structure! The knee involves several bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Knees are made to do more than just bend and straighten; they also rotate and twist, creating more ways for them to become injured. There are four bones, four main ligaments, two main tendons, cartilage, and bursae (fluid-filled sacs) all involved in the knee joint. Activities that are popular among the busy people of our society, like running, jogging, basketball, tennis and even golf, are hard on the knee joint. For the most part, knee pain begins with an injury, which leads to joint inflammation. All that repetitive activity puts stress on the knee joint and increases the chances of knee joint injury and inflammation. There are many ways to treat an inflamed knee before calling for a doctor’s appointment. One of the most basic and common principals to follow is the PRICE system: P …

One of the most important aspects of tennis is the serve. It’s your chance to score heavily, but it’s also your opponents chance to break you down, and smash your spirits. During the serve, the pressure is definitely on, to impress and score consistently. However, by resorting to the basics, and ensuring you remember each vital point, you can work towards establishing a solid routine for more consistent serving. To start off, you should think about your stance. Although it’s not the most glamorous part of the game, it is definitely crucial to providing a solid foundation for a solid serve. Ensure that your feet are pointing in the right direction, and that they remain around a shoulder’s width apart. It’s also crucial to keep your knees bent, as this will allow you to generate the necessary power through your toss to give you that strong serve. Additionally, you should probably try to maintain a Continental grip through your first serve to generate raw power through the ball. Although …

If the ball comes toward your head or higher, come straight down on the ball as hard as you can or dump the ball inside the inner line of the doubles alley. If the ball comes toward your waist, lower your racket head sideways to block the ball back over the net. To avoid losing a point, never touch the net during a play. Charging the Net: You must leave the baseline and charge the net when you make your opponent run toward a corner. The reason why you should do this is your opponent will likely hit the ball softly and you need to be at the net to cut the ball off and put it away. Once you decide to charge the net, keep coming and do not go back. Preparation and Footwork: Always stand with your knees bent and hold your racket up with both hands as you wait for the ball to come. As soon as the ball leaves your opponent’s racket, turn to the side with one foot out in front with both knees bent. If you are right-handed and the ball comes to your right side, or forehand side, turn toward t …
