There is a lot of information pertaining to tennis around us. It is only after getting enough information to form an article on it, did I get to write this article

GRIP, FOOTWORK, AND STROKES IN TENNIS.

We have included the history of tennis here so that you will learn more about its history. It is only through it’s history can you learn more about tennis.

We have omitted irrelevant information from this composition on tennis as we though that unnecessary information may make the reader bored of reading the composition.

Footwork is weight control. It is correct body position for strokes, and out of it all strokes should grow. In explaining the various forms of stroke and footwork I am writing as a right-hand player. Left-handers should simply reverse the feet.

Racquet grip is a very essential part of stroke, because a faulty grip will ruin the finest serving. It is a natural grip for a top forehand drive. It is inherently weak for the backhand, as the only natural shot is a chop stroke.

To acquire the forehand grip, hold the racquet with the edge of the frame towards the ground and the face perpendicular, the handle towards the body, and “shake hands” with it, just as if you were greeting a friend. The handle settled comfortably and naturally into the hand, the line of the arm, hand, and racquet are one. The swing brings the racquet head on a line with the arm, and the whole racquet is merely an extension of it.

Our dreams of writing a lengthy article on tennis has finally materialized Through this article on tennis. however, only if you acknowledge its use, will we feel gratitude for writing it!

The backhand grip is a quarter circle turn of hand on the handle, bringing the hand on top of the handle and the knuckles directly up. The shot travels ACROSS the wrist.

Once you are through reading what is written here on tennis, have you considered recollecting what has been written and writing them down? This way, you are bound to have a better understanding on tennis.

This is the best basis for a grip. I do not advocate learning this grip exactly, but model your natural grip as closely as possible on these lines without sacrificing your own comfort or individuality.

We have gone through extensive research and reading to produce this article on tennis. Use the information wisely so that the information will be properly used.

Having once settled the racquet in the hand, the next question is the position of the body and the order of developing strokes.

All tennis strokes, should be made with the body’ at right angles to the net, with the shoulders lined up parallel to the line of flight of the ball. The weight should always travel forward. It should pass from the back foot to the front foot at the moment of striking the ball. Never allow the weight to be going away from the stroke. It is weight that determines the “pace” of a stroke; swing that, decides the “speed.”

Let me explain the definitions of “speed” and “pace.” “Speed” is the actual rate with which a ball travels through the air. “Pace” is the momentum with which it comes off the ground. Pace is weight. It is the “sting” the ball carries when it comes off the ground, giving the inexperienced or unsuspecting player a shock of force which the stroke in no way showed.

We have taken the privilege of proclaiming this article to be a very informative and interesting article on tennis. We now give you the liberty to proclaim it too.

Ignorance is bliss they say. However, do you find this practical when you read so much about tennis?

A great many players have both “speed” and “pace.” Some shots may carry both.

The order of learning strokes should be:

1. The Drive. Fore and backhand. This is the foundation of all tennis, for you cannot build up a net attack unless you have the ground stroke to open the way. Nor can you meet a net attack successfully unless you can drive, as that is the only successful passing shot.

It is the normal style of writers to add additional information with the intention of lengthening the length of an article. However, we have provided a short and concise article with only required information on tennis.

2. The Service.

The completion of this article on tennis was our prerogative since the past one month. However, we completed it within a matter of fifteen days!

3. The Volley and Overhead Smash.

4. The Chop or Half Volley and other incidental and ornamental strokes.

With this, we now come to the ending of tennis. We hope that we have served to provide you with some enlightenment on tennis through this article.
