Well they hurt

I've noticed my fingers have been hurting a lot when I play and I don't know why.

First of all don't have yourself sideways, and you should do more than one serve

I've been doing Stronglifts 5x5 by for 6 months now. And I HAVE noticed A VERY significant increase in my speed and strength in general. And I'm not big or bulky at all. I'm 5'9 155 pounds and squatting (Going to parallel) 200 pounds 5x5. Trust me, my physical game has increased.

I follow a lifting program called Stronglifts 5x5 (just google it). I've noticed that it has increase my game A TON.

Went out again, I've found my serve now. I played another friend and she was like my serve was much cleaner and much harder to return. YAY Now it's time to Practice, practice, practice.

Interesting

So you yesterday I was playing around with my friend. I was experimenting with some serve positioning. This time around I turned my back to the net starting out, tossed into the court a bit more and I tried that archer's bow thing I read about. The results were ridiculous, my balls were SO much...

Definitely do squats, such an awesome workout. Check out Stronglifts 5x5 for a good weight lifting program, I saw improvement in like a month. It is really good.

Time to start learning how to serve again. Woo

What are pros and cons. Right now I have a 1 Handed backhand, but I can't depend on it and its like a 25% to be a decent shot, but it has no pace at all. What should I do?

Long time no see guys. Yesterday I was hitting around with a friend and record our serves. Then I realized, I have no form whatsoever, I wasn't fluid and my serve looked ugly, but can still somehow make it in. Then we started hitting around, my balls are no longer sailing like they were a year...

Im still going to make him work lol, I played my best friend who was at 3rd singles, and I exhausted him and he thought in the beginning he was going to lose because I was playing at his level somehow. O_o

Thanks for the good luck, this is more about improving than winning

Our man first singles and 2nd singles guys are going to be gone, so the coach asked me (I have only played exhibition this whole year) to play 1st singles which I said sure too. Now I'm not to experienced, I can't even do topspin. I use a one handed backhand, but that is usually a high slice...

People are always telling me to bend my knees and come up under the ball. What do they mean?

I bought a Prince Shark in December, but I do not know what the tension is when I bought it. It had factory strings. When I first started to hit with it, I could barely get it where I wanted on the other side of the court. Now tennis season has started and a majority of my balls not head out...

I just bought this racquet from TW in January and just started to really actively play with it. Ill see how I play tomorrow, maybe today was an off day and just had my first real match. I seriously panicked and mentally i was all over the place

The thing is I'm not swinging that hard, its really weird

When I hit my forehands even from the baseline the ball always goes out. I tried to increase the pace, no help. I tried adding some spin, not good enough to do that yet. I dunno what I'm doing I lost my first ladder match today :( Double bagel. ARGH My main thing I had problems with, my...

I'm 18 and almost finished with High School, what would it be like to work at some tennis courts? Is it easy to be employed there?

My friend has a really spinny slice serve, whats the best way to return it?

I dunno why, what could I be doing wrong?

The way the show it on FuzzyYellowBalls

I tried to change my current serve style to the appropriate one, but when I hit how it's supposed to be done I hurt my shoulder really bad every time. So in order to not hurt myself I just went back to my old serve. Is it possible I could be swinging to fast that I'm hurting myself?

I'm joining, I'm going to be leaving this club! Gonna work hard!

Eastern backhand Go into a closed stance Point shoulder at ball swing Maybe I am hitting to early

Whenever I hit my backhand it will always travel to the right and 90% of the time it will go out. Also a lot of my bh's go really high and basically become free balls. Occasionally I will hit a good backhand, but I don't know how I do it. Please tell me whats going on and how I can fix it. :D

Serve practice is what I meant by myself, and many ppl on varsity play other sports, are to busy, or can't drive themselves yet.

I am a beginner and I will mostly be playing by myself. Goals are to tone up, build endurance and speed. I am preparing for the tennis season in mid February. I'm going to be 18 this month, bout 5'9 140 pounds. I'm in alright shape right now, but slacking.
