Tennis Forehand Drills Backhand
Tennis Conditioning for School Team this fall?
Tryouts start on august 24th, so i have a little over a month. i was on the team last year so i know what to expect. i need some good tips and drills to be totally ready and fit. so far i have been:
running a mile a day
30 sit ups
30 push ups
Dot Drills (foot work)
Going to the court to practice a few times a week
also any tips on forehands/backhands/controlling the ball etc. anything is appreciated!
Practice should be your number priority at this point. Hit the courts as much as you can, working on serve and other aspect you may need to improve at.
As far as conditioning goes depending on how fit you are you should do more or less. Suicides would be a good bet to work on. You don't have to run a mile a day. Maybe around 2 days a week and then mostly running sprints and working on footwork. The days you don't play tennis is most suited for running days.

One-Handed Backhand - Drill #9: Copy The Forehand
tennis help?
i need help with my forehand and backhand.....everytime i hit the tennis ball, it goes high...what are some good drills to help me improve my forehand and backhand?
You should check your grip. If your grip is wrong, you may not have enough topspin. Hold the racquet so that the racquet is not tilting up too much. A tilted racquet will cause the ball to fly way up into the air. For backhand, a good idea is to use the eastern backhand grip. If you are a beginner, two-handed backhands are helpful. For forehand, you can try to use the semi-western grip. Semi-western is a grip used by many professional tennis players. Semi-western may be very hard for beginners, but will most likely solve the problem of hitting the ball too high in the air. The grip will also create topspin, bringing the ball down and preventing it from going too high . If you find it difficult to use semi-western grip, try some other grips. Everyone prefers different kinds of gripping styles. There is more than one kind of correct gripping style. Confused about all the names of the grips? Check out the website below for pictures of the grips and their names.
Another thing you should focus on is following through the ball. Make sure you are not chopping at the ball, but hitting from low to high, creating topspin. Always remember to follow through and tap your shoulder with the racquet. Creating topspin is one of the most important parts of a groundstroke. Apply these principles and practice a lot to improve. Tennis takes a lot of practice. Good Luck!
