Dear Competitive Tennis Players.
Are you tired of losing to the same players, that you know you should be beating?
I know the feeling... been there and have experienced THAT.
The first thing that you have to do is change your matchplay strategies, the next thing you have to do is develop an all around solid matchplay game, for competing at a consistent high level.
That means that.
You must raise your matchplay standards.
Because to be able to use the broken rhythm method effectively, you must be able to execute all the shots in your matches.
After you you do that.
Use can use these 3 strategies to start winning more of your tennis matches.
Tip number 1.
Mix in more slice shots during points.
As you already know.
The one thing that most players love to do during points is gain and find their rhythm for their shots.
And this is why you want to mix in some slice shots from time to time on them.
What happens is this... they aren't used to the dealing with different spins and they end up mistiming the ball.
My research has found out that, most players hate slice shots, with bite (tennis term there).
This is a common problem at the junior and adult level.
Which is why you need to be using it from today.
Hitting the slice shot must be practiced from all angles too.
To help you develop more racket head control in practice.
2nd tip.
In practice develop a heavy topspin shot.
I remember watching Nadal play at the US Open before.
What I noticed was this and you can't see this while watching him on TV but... his strokes are very, very HEAVY with top spin and hard to handle for most players!!
I remember that, his balls were bouncing very high (almost like jumping off the ground) and his opponent was always backing up and being pushed back, then when he got a short one, his either crushed it or drop shot it!!!
This goes back to what I said before at the start of this post.
Get the reps in daily to master your strokes and then develop a heavy forehand and start using it just like Nadal does.
Quick tip.
Imagine that the racket is an extension of the palm of your hand, then try to wait as long as possible with your non-racket hand on the throat during your contact move, then pull away from the ball on your swing, but extend through the hitting zone a little longer with your racket.
Did you get that? If not, write it down and keep reading it, until YOU do.
Here is what you will notice when you do understand it, you can generate more spin and power with less effort, by doing this over and over again during practice.
3rd tip.
Bring them into the net.
As you alread know.
90% of all juniors and adults have no net game, because they don't work on their net game enough in practice.
And this is why you want to bring them in more during the match, then blast it at RIGHT at them or pass them if they do get it back to you.
Never rush this strategy either.
Why?
They have no net game just like I said, so think 2 shot pass all the time.
Also.
Their overhead usually sucks as well.
So, give them a good dose of lobs during the match!!
What I love about this last tip is... they will lose their confidence and flow for the whole match, because they will be too conscious of not wanting to come in on points!!!
When this happens, start getting in their heads by laughing at them after points and watch them mentally break down eventually!!
Okay.
Now.
Try out those 3 tips and start winning more matches.
Oh yeah.
I forgot to mention that... these 3 tips have already been tested out and proven to work by my students here in kansai!!
