They hold the racket like they would a fly swatter and take whack at the tennis ball. This makes perfect sense to them, as they are yet unaware of the relationship between loading, twisting, unloading, acceleration, pronation and follow-through. They just want to hit the ball! As these players start to improve their technique through proper instruction, they are weaned off of the Full Western grip and toward the Continental grip. This is the primary grip used for the serve. There are two reasons we use this grip: Power and Spin. We’ll get into those in a minute; but let’s first take a closer look at the grip itself and how we actually make contact with the tennis ball using the Continental grip. The Continental grip is achieved by ’shaking hands’ with the racket grip, with the tennis racket being perpendicular to the ground. There is ‘V’ shape formed by your hand when you ’shake hands’ with the tennis racket. Picture an imaginary line running from the center of the ‘V’ formed by your …

Customer Review: Great Shoes
I am 65 yrs old and have been running for >30 years. These shoes are true to size and are very comfortable from initial use. I have a sensitive Achilles, which these shoes help protect. They provide both stability and comfort.
Customer Review: Great product
This is a great shoe. It fits just like the version prior to it but is even a little better. I would recommend this shoe to any avid runner.

Pronation is a special type of arm movement that allows you to accelerate your tennis racket through the ball, increasing the amount of power and spin you can generate. All advanced players pronate when they serve, but very few club-level players pronate properly. Let’s start with a basic explanation of what exactly pronation is. Place your hands out in front of your body and point your palms at each other. Now rotate your forearm and wrist together, as one piece, so that your palms are facing the floor. This simple motion of your arm is pronation; the act of turning your palm to face away from you. If you rotate in the opposite direction so that your palms are facing the ceiling, then you are “supinating” your arm, which is the opposite of pronating. Another good way to understand the motion of pronation involves your cell phone. Take out your phone and hold it to your ear like you were talking to someone. Pretend that your computer monitor is a person and you want to show them who y …

Superfeet Active Insoles Superfeet Active Insoles keep you on your feet! The Superfeet Active Capsule is a highly versatile Trim-to-Fit insole. Because it’s a little thinner, it works well in most lower-volume casual and sport shoes (running, mountain biking and tennis), or when you can’t remove the inner sole from shoes. It is also ideal for flatter feet that may not tolerate higher arch support. More details: Rear-foot control point prevents over-pronation and helps keep your foot correctly aligned for less stress on muscles and joints; Mid-foot control point stabilizes your mid-foot for a very stable foot, creating less muscle fatigue and more endurance; Patented support bridge activates all the control points for better balance and alignment during the stride; Long-wearing Trocellen foam is a high-quality, durable closed-cell foam for long-lasting comfort; Natural shock absorption system naturally softens heel shock; Patented shape contours to your natural foot shape, which helps provide maximum contact with the ground for balance and control; Approx. 3 ozs. per pair. D-Fits Men’s shoe sizes 7.5-9; E-Fits Men’s shoe sizes 9.5-11; F-Fits Men’s shoe sizes 11.5-13. Get yours now! Superfeet Active Insoles
Customer Review: Best insoles
I have been using these for over 5 years. I carry alot of weight in my pack and I also use them in my running shoes. The support they provide is unparalleled. I get through a long day and my feet feel like new! If you have high to medium arches TRY them!

I was recommended these by my podiatrist for some joint issues in my foot. They’ve improved the way I walk immensely in the month that I’ve had them, and I’m in the latter half of marathon training. They hold up well, but they are not designed for wide feet. I’m a 2E-4E, and they don’t take up the whole width of the shoe in the toe-box area. It isn’t too bad, but is noticeable if I move my big toe the right way. Why, why, why not make the insole about a 1/2 wider at the end so this wouldn’t be a problem? Just a heads up… this is not a cushiony insole. It’s designed to force your foot to roll correctly.
