If you are looking to learn or improve your game of tennis, look no further and start to read the following article below. Tennis is not as difficult as it seems even to those who do not have in born talent and natural agility and co-ordination. You just need to focus on the point of contacting the ball. The rest will follow suit.
The conventional way of teaching tennis is structured and rigid. It requires one to follow a series of steps in order to replicate a particular stroke. This is all well and good but to a beginner can be confusing and rather complicated. You would prefer a more simplistic way of learning. Read on!
Given that each one of us is different in the way we move, it only makes sense that we are not forced to move in only one way in order to learn tennis. Therefore, footwork may not be as crucial as one may think. In fact, the player should be allowed to move naturally towards the ball in his own way. The focus should then be on finding the ball and hitting it in a manner as though you are pushing the ball.
The key to being successful as soon as you can in your pursuit of learning tennis is to keep things simple. This means you should try to learn to focus on the point of contact and finding the ball. Do not attempt to complicate matters by turning, stepping forward, sideways...etc. This will only throw you off while introducing unnecessary variables into your learning process.
In order to ensure simplicity, just try pushing the ball with your palms. Stand facing the net in an open stance and open the palm of your hand. Try it with the right first if you are a right hander. Just push the ball over the net and follow through to the left side of your cheeks. Repeat the process by holding a racket.
You will be pleasantly surprised by your ability to consistently hit the ball over the net with a slight top spin in a very short time on the court. In summary, empty your mind an only focus on finding the ball and brushing it over the net as explained above.
