• Slump

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  I dont know what the problem is to be honest. I walked on court today, and it was just not my day. Although the racket I played with had been freshly strung, I could generate no pop. My timing was terrible. Shots were sailing left and right. I was being outplayed and it was very uncharacteristic. Whats the ideal way ...

• Need help cooling my nerves

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  Today I played a pro set against my friend. He had not played in 3 weeks and historically Ive owned the head-to-head anyway. During warm-ups I was relaxed, showing off my improved forehand, and looked calm coming into our set. From there, hell broke loose. The 1st game I served and due to a few lucky block shots by ...

• Some tips I got from an experienced player

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  This is a nice little blog for myself to reference now and then but it should help others too. I worked on reinforcing a few little things that made a difference in my game today. They were pointed out by a teacher that I hit with. He is real experienced and the top player at the club. By experienced, I mean playing ...

• What is the Tennis Instruction Terminology for this?

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  In this video of Andres 2HBH... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql5xVpACt1Y I notice that he does what many guys do on their forehand. He takes his racquet back so far... and just when hes ready to strike the ball... he relaxes his wrists so the racquet snaps back even further before heading forward... adding more ...

• Wardlaws Directionals

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  I read this: http://hoskinsjohn.bizland.com/direc/ but now Im sort of confused I understand it, but I dont get why it "works".. Could someone explain it to me why his directionals work? Without an explanation they seem sort of..arbitrary to me.

  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  Thanks for posting those fotos on pronation. I totally forgot about that in my 30 year layoff from competitive tennis, and your 3 pics got me pronating again.... Today, went out to the courts and served close to my best of 1978, increasing my service speed AND getting more consistency too boot. Honestly, old ...

  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175

I edited alot of it, but no I did not make the video all about making myself look good. A bit about myself, western forehand, use to hit a western backhand(non dominant hand) have since tryed to go ...

• Poaching tips?

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  I mostly play Singles. There are a lot of Doubles skills I just dont have. When I do play Doubles, I really enjoy poaching when my partner serves. I like both the "signaled" poach and the "opportunistic" poach. My problem is that unless I happen to be poaching a ball thats right in my wheelhouse and I can smash, ...

• Backhand Grip

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  What grip should I use for my backhand? I used to use a (as a lefty): lefthand - continental, righthand - semiwestern but recently I just tried to switch to an eastern grip on both hands. I can get more power, and its easier to drive through the ball. But then the ball goes long pretty often... My backhand has always ...

• Slapping in Serving!!?

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  Does anyone also feel that? I thought I hit the ball pretty hard, but it feels more like slapping and not so much biting into it and giving it the solid thud sound. I dunno. Any variation of the serve that I do is probably a derivative of slice serve, hence, the scratchy/grating sound and not full on impact. How can ...

• Never thought Id see the day ...

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  Like most intermediate players, I have always favored my FH ... especially on groundies and service returns. Thats natural ... its the stroke we learn first and the stroke we generally rely on. As a result of many hours of practice and constantly working on my technique, my 2HBH has slowly but steadily improved (Im ...

• Post serve pronation followthrough... so confusing, hurting myself, unintuitive.

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  I served a while successfully using a forehand grip but eventually I realized I needed to switch to continental to put more spin on it and to start unleashing the full potential of the body. The forehand/frying pan grip did me allright and feels more natural to begin with, but I know its not the most effective. So my ...

• Serving Practice Strategies

  
  Talk Tennis — Authority: 175
  What is the best or optimal strategy for practicing your serve. Every three serves I switch from the deuce to the ad side. On each side I practice a flat server down the center and a slice wide and a second serve either into the body of the imaginary opponent or to the backhand of a right-handed opponent. I also ...

  Most of my friends generally play with Penn balls ... last weekend I made the mistake of breaking open a new can of Dunlop balls ... the guys nearly tied me up, carried me off the court, and dumped me by the practice wall ... are Dunlops really that bad ... whats the deal with Penn balls ... are they that good?
