Will do you have any thoughts?
I was working out today at the club and watching the Golf Channel. Something occured to me. There is a ton of coverage on the golf swing. Pro after pro explain the angle of the swing path, plane of the shoulders, position of the hands, etc etc etc etc. My point is is that they break down the golf swing in a way I don't see being done in tennis.
There is kinda only one swing in golf so what else are they going to do right?
I'm close to becoming a 5.0 player and I still really don't understand how to maximize technique to help me get there.
Generally the insturctional pieces on the Tennis Channel are too vague and fluffy, Actually I don't event see many instructional pieces. Yet everytime I turn on the Golf Channel there is a guy breaking down the swing. Could just be coincidence.....
I'd like to see some hard core breakdown of the serve on Tennis Channel. Just an hour on how the raquet head should be moving, how much you should be opening up your wingspan, where the butt cap is pointing along the swing path, where exactly should your elbow be in the trophy position, etc etc etc. Also for the record is it me or do the tennis guys right away pull up video of Federer and Agassi? I saw one poor kid on utube at an Academy who looked like a 4.0 and the lady was really putting him down. Then she said, "Let me pull up a Federer". I just started to LMAO, come on...its just funny to me for some reason. Anyway, I don't see the golf pro's doing this nearly as much.
As anecdotal evidence, as I sat down to write about this topic I saw this post:

Couldn't find a tennis clip with such explanation
