Easy Ways To Improve Your Tennis Game

We've All Wondered How To Become A Better Player. Here Are A Few Tips I've Learned Along The Way That Really Are A Benefit.

1.) How To Create A Perfect Serve:

* Practice Practice, PRACTICE! Often when there is no room for me to hit or I am in a pickle for time, I will practice my tosses. Tosses should be off of your fingers and high. The ball should not move to the sides, forwards or backwards ; but straight up into the sky. This is a great way to improve your serve conditioning and can be done practically anywhere!

** Bring 10 balls to any wall of tennis court and practice your serves ten on each side-switch to other side of court and continue. This exercise helps balance your technique no matter what side of the line you are on.

**** When practing on an empty court; try practicing your footwork, your serves and your swing.

Footwork: Run around the court several times. Slide down the baseline back and forth. Practice running to the ball forwards and backwards with racket in correct positioning along with correct body alignment. At first this might sound or look silly to you; but these are some of the very key components of a good game.

Serves: Start on the right side of the baseline. Keep your feet near the middle marker. Your right foot should be at an angle with your toes pointed to the left side of the net post. Bend your right leg. The more often that you practice you will notice how your entire body will move to a natural positioning for a good serve. Ideally, your entire body makes a unified motion. Toss the ball off of your fingertips. The ball should go straight up, not to the sides or forwards or backwards. Toss high and hit the ball with the middle of the racket. Keep your eye on where the ball and racket meet. Follow through your serve by swinging across your body with the racket landing on the side of your left leg. A good serve feels like shooting an arrow.

Swing: Toss balls high and low. Practice running to them, positioning your body correctly and following through with your swing. Remember that the correct swing makes a pop sound. Toss the ball far from you to practice your footwork. Toss high to practice high balls, and toss low to practice low balls.
