    The Myth of Tennis Technique

    I dont think so. Form is what your current condition is. It's how well you can execute your shots using your technique. It's the same as in many other sports. Great sportsmen are these who can get to their form's pick right at the tournament time.

    When to drop non-hitting hand

    So, it's ok to await for a ball to bounce with a non-hitting hand being off the racket, right?

    When to drop non-hitting hand

    Ok, thanks. Now I see that pros are dropping non hitting hand way before the ball bounces.

    When to drop non-hitting hand

    Sorry, did not mention I am specifically looking for info about a forehand. So, you are saying that as soon as I figured what direction the ball is coming in I am turning sideways and drop the other hand? No need to wait for the ball to bounce?

    Hitting high bouncing balls with FH

    But where should I stay? Behind the ball as for a regular FH or on a side of the ball?

    Hitting high bouncing balls with FH

    Yes, these balls are not for overheads. But still, what is a difference in technique hitting these balls? Where should I stay? Behind a ball, or on a side? How far from the ball? Am I hitting low to high?

    Hitting high bouncing balls with FH

    I totally agree with you, but also would like to know what are the differences between kinetics while hitting a normal FH and a FH on a high ball. One thing is different is that I cannot point a butt of the handle at the ball.

    Hitting high bouncing balls with FH

    I am finding myself having a difficulty dealing with high bouncing balls. These balls are not a result of a heavy topspin but rather a passive return from my opponent dealing with my forehand topspins. What's happening is that I am the one who is working hard on a court pushing my opponent to go...

    The Myth of Tennis Technique

    Just because she said no idea, does not mean she doesn't have it. And if it wouldn't have been rocket science why then a person needs to start to learn tennis as early as possible while his/her motor functions are still forming? Same goes with playing musical instruments. A reason is because to...

    The Myth of Tennis Technique

    I would think that learning/practicing is behind of everything. But with no technique you can't adjust. There is nothing to adjust from. You have already adjusted your strokes by ignoring basic (correct) motion.

    The Myth of Tennis Technique

    I totally agree with you. I think the better technique you have the wider spectrum of your adjustments would be. Good technique is what allows adjustments in the first place. They say a top tennis player can use a frying pan to hit it right. So, a great violist can use the same frying pan with...

    The Most Important Stroke Element

    What he is saying that it has to be a straight line between an elbow and an incoming ball and it is the shortest one. Another words what he is saying is that we should be using inside part of the elbow to aim at the ball. In order not to be late with your shot an elbow has to move in a straight...

    Second serve - best return

    Yes, I can run around and use a fh, but because it's not going to be a winner and having too much of open court they often punish me.
