It is nice to be back and writing about tennis again. Sorry for the break, but ready to help all of you continue to play smarter. Hitting a tennis ball over the net and in between lines is really not that difficult to do if we allow ourselves to understand what the ball is doing and where it needs to go. Ball height is very important as it relates to getting it over the net. If contact is made below the net you have to be in the careful mode. If it is make above the net we can be in the more agressive mode. If it is in between or close to net height you have to be cautious, but still execute your shots. Try your best to use those situations as set up opportunities and not go for too much. So if you find yourself in trouble do a down shift in power and an up shift in brain activity to think through what will help you get out of trouble. It is usually based on time or distance. What will give you more time or what would make them travel the greatest distance and you will be able to neutralize the situation better. Keep everything as simple as possible to keep the brain from over painicing. You may still panic, but panic softly and slowly to allow yourself more time to recover. Next time we will talk about what shots can help you through this process.
