Tennis Tips

Basic Techniques in Tennis

AST presents an insight to understand the basic fundamentals to the sport.

One: The Ready Position

Begin with your feet shoulder width apart, Your knees slightly bent. Hold your racket in front of you with both hands.

Two: The Grip

One of the easiest grips to use for the Forehand is an Eastern Grip. To find this grip, ‘Shake hands’ with your racket. The ‘V’ between your thumb and index finger should appear on the corner of the handle.

Three: Preparation

As soon as your opponent contacts the ball, start your preparation by turning your right hip and shoulder away from the ball. This will build up and store elastic energy. Ensure that your racket head drops down low behind you.

Four: Contact

Accelerate your racket upwards towards your ‘contact point’. To add pace to the shot your hips and shoulders can now rotate back to a front-on position. The ideal place for your racket to meet the ball is slightly in front of your hips.

Five: Follow Through

Continue the swing out towards your target, finish with your elbow bent over your left shoulder.
