tennis top spin serve
Prepare for tennis tryouts?
Tennis practice starts this Monday, and I’m getting a bit worried at what the coach will think of me. Do you guys have any tips, like what to do on the first day so I can play my best?
I’ve been trying to master my serve and groundstrokes these past days. Does anyone know how to hit a consistent forehand/backhand with topspin? I always use the continental grip (hold very small amount of the grip) since I’ve heard that will help to get top spin. My backhands are really weak and slow. My serves are very powerful and fast, but they rarely go into the service court. How would I combat these problems? Thanks in advance.
Sorry, I think I meant Eastern grip there.
Just keep the ball in play and practice. Consistency is usually what coaches will look for. They know once you become consistent, then you can add more power. Just always think positive. The worst thing in any sport or in life is when you start thinking negative, then you become worst. If you saw the womens semifinals with Henin-Arden today, you will know what I mean.
