Balance / Body Rotation-Movement / Contact Point
Balance: The more balanced you are
the larger the Strike/Hitting zone becomes. Solid contact within the strike
zone produces a heavier and more consistent shot. The better your balance the
more likely you’ll hit a great shot.
Body
Rotation-Movement: The use of the body to generate racket head speed allows for less
strain on the shoulder, arm, elbow and wrist. Because you are using the larger
muscles to swing the racket you are more likely to produce a consistent stroke.
Contact
Point:
Tennis, like Baseball and Golf, is a sideways sport. You make contact with the
ball to the side of you, not in front of you. Your grip will determine were
within the strike zone is best for you to make contact. It could be more the
front end of the strike zone or more to the back end of the strike zone.
