What is wrong with the idea, on the forehand, of turning the body and the feet sideways, taking the racquet back early, stepping into the shot, and following the line of the ball?
Simply, everything.
The reason why the modern forehand is naturally open-stance is two-fold: 1) the open stance keeps the hand closer to the ball, making it easier to find it. Imagine…

The tennis court seems very big to cover. Could that be an illusion? Is that really real, or a matter of viewpoint?

I hope you had the chance to watch both the WTA Championships in Istambul two weeks ago and the ATP World Tour Finals in London last week.
Although it looked like a superb mastery of the game, all performances showed brilliance interspersed with unforced errors galore.
Why is it that champions can make such astounding shots but err so often when the…

Roger Federer is still full of promise. His recent performances reveal that he is in great shape and playing close with Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal.
All he needs to do is fix a few mishaps on his forehand and regain the confidence in what was at one time the best forehand in the world.
Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Juan Martin…

Tennis seems to be a very fast sport, but I have a surprise for you:
IT IS NOT!
Let me explain.
From baseline to baseline, a groundstroke loses more than half its speed. A forehand hit at 100 MPH at one baseline gets to the other baseline at around 40 MPH. One hit at 50 MPH gets to you at 20 MPH.
A serve hit at 100 MPH gets…

I am too late for your clinics.
Will that comming to Barnes T. C. again?
have relocated from Florida to Southern California and have some exciting news in that regard:
GROUP CLINICS
First, I will be continuing to offer group clinics which have proven so popular around the country. Although I will be concentrating on the Southern California area initially, I will be available for clinics in other locations throughout the year. If you are interested in a group clinic near your place of residence, I suggest you contact one of our MTM Certified Coaches in your area who will then contact me.
If you would prefer to organize your own area clinic please contact us for details.
PRIVATE COACHING
For those who live in Southern California or who would like to travel to Los Angeles, I will be offering private coaching on a limited basis. If necessary, I can arrange for living quarters. Please e-mail me or Lucile if you would like to be considered for this opportunity.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRAINING
Beginning this year, I will initiate a program in which I will offer one-on-one, high-performance training with selected players and coaches. Applications are now being accepted for 2010. Initially, I will offer these in my place of residence in Encino, thereafter expanding to other facilities. (apply here)
I look forward to an amazing year and meeting many of you in person.
With my best regards,
Oscar Wegner
