Doc's Tip of the Morning

If you want a great forehand, you must learn how to keep your wrist extended in the preparation/turning phase and in the downward motion of the swing phase. The wrist will start some flexion just prior to contact. GOY

Doc's Tip of the Night

If you want a more powerful and overall more effective Serve, you must strengthen your core and back muscles. Often, core weakness is a big liability that prevents the full use of power in the Serve. This is a common denominator in females and their struggles with the shot. GOY

Doc's Tip of the Night:

If you have trouble getting enough spin on your serve and your placement is inconsistent, make sure you learn how wrist flexion and shoulder rotation are directly related to this very critical shot. Of course, you must still hit many practice serves, but if you are not technically proficient then your serve will probably NOT be improving. GOY

Doc's Tip of the Day:
Always try to have a majority of your body weight follow your racquet. For example, when you take the racquet back or turn on a ground stroke that is where a majority of your weight should be.
When you start your swing and contact the ball you let the body weight follow as you hit the ball and the stroke finishes.
