The Magic of Calmly Waiting Mentally While Moving Fast and Furiously

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…

Some Great Tennis Rackets of 2013

One of the best rackets on this list in my opinion is the Wilson One BLX its a perfect racket for baseline and doubles players who want maximum power and a larger hitting area, featuring Amplifeel technology that uses Basalt fibres embedded in the foam of the handle that helps to fine tune the racket for an enhanced and clean feel.

It also features BLX Basalt fibres inserts to the frame and grommets that help to filter out any unwanted extreme frequencies to help the player to achieve…

Volley Attitude

A player needs to commit to a strategy. Obviously, you would keep a winning tactic, and you would change a losing one. 

If you are losing, and you see your opponent is better than you on groundstrokes, there is something you can try. Volley aggressively, do it constantly, and commit to it.…

Le Backhand- One Small Detail Nobody Has Taught You That Will Transform Your One-Handed Backhand

The one-handed backhand even though not as popular and not as widely taught as the two-handed backhand is a shot that when executed well can become a player’s biggest weapon. Now, in a different blog, I will discuss the reasons most tennis coaches choose to teach the two-handed backhand over the one-handed variation, but today I want to reveal to you a…

Inside The Pros’ Mind- Welcome

The whole thing is never to get negative about yourself. Sure, it’s possible that the other guy you’re playing is tough, and that he may have beaten you the last time you played, and okay, maybe you haven’t been playing all that well yourself. But the minute you start thinking about these things you’re dead. I go out to every match convinced that I’m going to…

Efficient Power

It is usually thought that to control the ball you need to slow down your game.



That is, if you lack topspin.



With topspin, you can exert your power without any doubts of your shot landing on the court.



You may hit some balls short, but they are still uncomfortable for your opponent due to the spin.



It is also thought…

Is Tennis Difficult? The Shocking Truth!

Tennis is easy to learn, to play, to teach and to enjoy.  The shocking truth is that tennis has been made difficult. So ingrained is the false data accepted as truth about a century ago that it has affected, to this day, coaches, commentators, sports writers, even pros.

I can now edit your Tennis Video of you hitting and offer suggestions.

I found this great site called Fiverr.com, which allows people to prepay for a $5 amount for a wide range of services.  As for me, send me a clip of you playing for about 1 minute and I will edit the video, and give you at least ONE strong concept to work on and develop your game.  Generally, I can get this done in two days turnaround, sometimes much faster.
