 ------------  Tennis Notes   --------------

Base line strokes – to get more depth hit harder through and skip the top spin

Follow through with racket to opposite shoulder. 

Mid way strokes – start with racket to the side (not so far back as base line strokes) and swing harder and quicker – still follow through with racket to opposite shoulder. 

Volleys – don’t let the print on your shirt show – make sure you are turned side ways.

One grip for both left and right volleys.  Change grips on strokes further to back of court.

Have the racket to the right going out in a V, not up and down.  Step into it and punch it. 

Serves.  Higher toss.  Loose hand on racket.  Reach up and push through as if there are several more balls in a row going out forward ahead of the ball.   

Keep the feet moving on base line strokes and have patience, take your time and let the ball come to you.
