Doc's Tip of the Night - Overhead

When preparing for an overhead, your first reaction should be a shoulder turn to prepare and a cross step BACK. You do not want to let the lob get behind you at any cost. When preparing for the overhead try to get your racquet hand up to the level of your ear and get your racquet forearm completely vertical. If you have time to position and wait for the ball then follow these tips: Once you position your feet underneath the lob maintain your balance with the back foot and keep your body completely still with the non racquet arm straight up. Position your feet with the front foot slightly in front of the back foot. Your feet should create an 80 - 85 degree angle from toe to toe (right-hander) when balanced and waiting for ball.
