tennis racket stringing techniques

assistance in tennis ....?


when playing tennis, i am having problem with my smashes. Is it because my hand is weak, or i have not mastered the technique. Although i count myself quiet fit as i do threadmill and( yoga advanced ) 4-3 times a week.. could it be my racket requires re-stringing, the type of string i am using is half iron.
And the type of racket i am using wilson 249grams.. is there any exercise that i could do to make my hand more stronger for smash without having to get musscles showing in my hand as i am a female.. or is there a special technique i should know about? thx

It's probably technique more than anything. I assume you're talking about the overhead smash, here are some tips:
Treat it like you're hitting a serve.
As the ball comes in, point at it with your "off" hand (left hand for a right hander) above your head, like the position your arm should be in after you have released the serve toss. Keep your eye on the ball, and swing with a loose arm, wrist, and loose grip. Follow through the shot the same way as with a serve. If you have a weak, slow serve, chances are this shot will be slower as well. Practice, practice, practice will make the shot better.

Restringing could help, but technique is usually the main culprit.

Tennis Basics For Beginners

How to hit the ball is described in tennis as technique
Technique is learnt so you will be better in a match.
The first thing you will need in a match is to get the ball over the net and into the court.
The following basic advice will help you get the ball over and in when you are hitting forehands and backhands – otherwise known as ground strokes.

1.Hold the racket in a way that is comfortable for you. On the forehand, a good way is to hold it with the palm behind the handle (imagine you were hitting the ball with your palm, then put the racket there).

On the backhand, you can use two hands or one hand. If you use two hands, it is probably best to have your dominant hand at the bottom and your supporting hand just above it on the handle, though not overlapping.

2.Watch the flight of the ball. Move to where it will be after it has bounced and after it has stopped rising. Reading the flight path of the ball is vital to move to the right place, and the right place involves the following.

3.Stance, for beginners on the forehand and backhand, sideways on is good enough,tennis is a moving game so try to get your shoulders sideways to the ball, even if you cant get your feet sorted out!

4.Contact point, try to hit the ball
a) comfortably at the side of your body,
b) slightly in front of your body,
c) between waist and shoulder high.

5.Swing the racket at the ball,from low along to high,makeing sure the strings are pointing where you want the ball to go as you swing, it is a bat and ball game, so use the bat to direct the ball!

To serve, the following advice is the basic stuff:
a. Stand sideways on to the net.
b. Throw the ball into the air so that it hangs nicely in the area where you want to contact the ball (see below for where that is!). The throw up is also called the placement, coz thats what it should really be.
c. The action of hitting the ball should be very much like a throw.
d. Try to contact the ball in the middle of your throwing action at full stretch, slightly in front of you, and above your hitting shoulder. This sounds easy! Trouble is you cant do it if you have just thrown, or even placed (!) the ball backwards and three feet away!

Where to hit it.
A tactic is a plan to win the point.
There are five basic tactics.

First is to keep the ball in play, by getting the ball over the net into court. If your opponent cant do this and you can,you will win. If they can though,
try to make your opponent move in order to hit the ball. Try to get them off balance or at least hitting on the move and test their skill on the move.

Whilst doing this,you will be better placed to hit each ball if you maintain a good position on the court before and after each shot. Be like a goalie defending the gaps, do not get caught out of position to one side of the court or stuck half way between the baseline and the net.
Once you can do the above tactics successfully, try to play to the weakness of your opponent,this might be their forehand, but is usually their backhand.
Equally, use your own strengths as much as possible. If you can use your strengths against their weaknesses, that would be a fiendish plan to bring off.
