DOC'S TIP OF THE DAY -- GROUNDSTROKE TECHNIQUE

As a general tenet, if you hit a groundstroke when the ball is above the top of the net (ie, at the top of the bounce), try to limit the amount of travel the racquet moves upward on the follow through. It is imperative you stay on on the same plane on the follow through and wrap around. AND you can actually follow through slightly downwards, the higher the contact point is above the net. ay

Doc's Tip of the Evening -- FH Volley

Whenever you hit a forehand volley try to keep the elbow close to the side of your body for the most effective leverage when hitting the shot.
Of course, there will be times when this is not possible, but try to move your feet into the best position to make it possible.
High balls and fast wide balls will preclude you from keeping the elbow in but try to position your feet so you can do it for all other forehand volleys.
And always try to keep a firm wrist on all your volleys. oi

Doc's Tip of the Evening -- Technical / FH BH

When preparing for either a forehand or backhand ground stroke, remember to reach away from you with your hand/hands. So, when preparing on a forehand, try to keep your racket hand on the side of your body and away from your hip when turning and taking the racket back.
On the backhand, reach away from you with the non dominant hand and reach straight back with the racket hand. goy
