    How do i beat a pusher!?!

    Yes that is great advice, pin the pusher to the backhand corner that will give you much more options to work with. Do not rush your shots be patient and you will win.

    How do i beat a pusher!?!

    Work on your out of the air game. Move in and crack a few winners with swinging volleys, verheads etc. That will do the trick. You have got to feel comfortable with hitting the ball without letting it bounce.

    WB Comments on Ltr to US Tennis Industry-PART I

    Yeah it was cheap and many kids play there compare to here in USA. I am not sure about public courts. These were semi public they belong to the city and if you want to be a member of these courts there is anominal city fee per month.

    Food for thought: More Practice matches.

    I am sorry to tell you but that is how Sloane, Coco, Gabby, Kudla, Laure Davis and a few others train. Same way Chrissy Evert trained. There are other ways, but this is the most effective. 2-3 hours of Private instruction working on your shots and a good practice match with the coach on...

    Mindset of a champion?

    It looks like you're on the right path. I would suggest to play lots of points during practice. With the mindset that it appears your kid has I would bet that he/she gets bored with drills, if that is the case, try to involve lots of points in the training where he/she has to win and not just...

    Forehand - 10 years

    When your son takes the racquet back with 2 hands to hit the forehand I see a little glitch after he takes the left hand off the racquet. That needs to be fixed. To take down the amount of errors from the forehand he needs to start the loop and go into the ball without the hitch. The racquet...

    Solomon was defintely a pusher, even now when you see the young juniors from his academy they all play that 70's style of tennis with the ball 15-20 feet over the net. For sure a style that is not fun to watch it does not do well for the grow of tennis popularity. Very few people enjoy...
