Tennis Tip; Overhead
Do you love hitting overheads? Do you dread hitting
overheads? Do you
practice hitting overheads?
If you are like most players, we take this shot for granted.
Hitting
overheads is difficult with timing and movement being the
keys. This
tennis tip focuses on the keys to hitting good overheads.
Tip one- Getting under the ball.
Positioning yourself to hit the overhead is the Achilles
heal of most
tennis players. Here are a couple keys to moving into
position for the
overhead.
First, turn sideways. Turning sideways allows you to move
easier going
backwards. Try keeping both hands down while moving, this
giving you
better balance. Another approach is to take both hands up as
this gives
you better timing. Either way, turning sideways as the ball
goes up allows
you to move better to the ball. Find your hitting zone under
the ball.
Think of a soccer player trying to 'head' the ball - don't
let the ball
get behind you!
Tip two- The swing.
Try using your non-hitting hand to track the ball. Pointing
at the ball
allows you to track the path of the ball - leaving the left
hand up keeps
your shoulder from dropping and your head on the ball. On
every overhead,
you need to swing through the ball. If you are close to the
net, use your
wrist to snap the ball down into the court. If you are deep
in the court,
try spinning the ball into the court, like a serve.
With any shot, the biggest key is PRACTICE! You must
practice this
shot to master it. As always, if you need help, let me know
- I'd love to
help.
Have fun.....Bill

Tennis Reminders
Game arranging services and court reservations must
be
made between the hours of 8:00 - 12:00PM at least 1 day
prior, and not more than one week prior to your desired
day of play. We also will be enforcing a 24 hour
cancellation policy for these services, so that our staff
has ample time to find a suitable replacement.
