The art of approaching
In today’s tennis, most of the points are won from the baseline, often after long, energy-sapping rallies. This makes knowing how and when to approach the net to end points sooner all the more important during the course of a match. In this episode, USPTA Elite Professional Mark Bey focuses on approach patterns and the essential footwork technique critical for success. If coming to the net is an area where you lack confidence, or something you just want to add to your arsenal, this video is a must-have! In this video you will learn the skills and technique needed when approaching the net, including the “slice backhand approach,” “left foot or right foot,” and “ripping through the sidelines” drills.
Solutions For Your Game
All players will encounter problems during matches, but knowing how to diagnose and solve those problems quickly is crucial to achieving success. In this episode, USPTA Elite Professional Sophie Woorons-Johnston, Ph.D., offers six common problems a person might encounter and recommends creating a checklist in your mind to help you find the solution for each. Whether you are struggling to develop power, having difficulty controlling the depth of your shots, encountering issues with your serve, or are being inconsistent at the net, this episode will help you problem solve when you’re facing pressure from your opponent.
