Racquetball, Great for your tennis game in a couple of ways

Hello Atlanta Tennis group, with all the rain we've had can be tough to get on the court. A couple of things to think about is going onto the court and work on your game on a rainy day. On thing I like to do is do volley drills with a partner, even against a wall, the distance on a racquetball court is perfect, another thing to use for this drill is foam tennis balls, normally there made for kids but great for indoor play. The other thing to do a racquetball court is play racquetball, great for hand idea coordination and super for conditioning. I have brought a couple of players in the last couple of weeks and you know I forgot how fun it is.

The only appeal that tennis has ever had for me is the thought that if I played enough,my body might start to look like that of Anna Kournikova. With that ill-conceived goal in mind, I signed up for lessons a few years ago.
My coach was good; a sweet, older gentleman who showed me how to correctly hold the racquet, the right way to hit the ball—forehand and
backhand—and how to volley. My skills weresurprisingly not that bad. But with all
the time we spent on fundamentals, I barely broke a sweat during the hour
of instruction.At this rate, I’d never be able to fit
one leg in Anna’s tiny pleated skirt. That’s why a few weeks ago,
when I saw a park bench on Monroe advertising Fitness with Jeff’s cardio
tennis class, I was intrigued. I like tennis, but I’d really like to get a goodworkout while I’m at it. I e-mailed Jeff Michaud AKA or Actually better known as Fitness with Jeff, on his Web site, and he
immediately responded, inviting me out for a
group lesson that weekend. I arrived early at the tennis
court in a Brookhaven condo (Jeff travels all over the city) as one of his
students, Peter, was warming up. I found out he was a longtime client
of Jeff’s and asked what kept him coming back for more. “It’s a great
workout,” he said. “And Jeff’s a really funny guy; always joking around.
Like today, he said he was going to....

Tennis tip for forehand and backhand Nov 12, Swing track, important to the tennis swing

Hello Atlanta Tennis: My weekly tip is to find your swing track, this is the natural curve that you make during your swing, the idea is to be able to re-create over and over the same track of your arm. The idea is to move your feet into the track of your arm on your backhand and forehand tennis swing, most people adjust mostly using there swing to make adjustments, this does not work very well causing all kinds of errors. When you get a chance just swing the rackey in your hand over and over again using the same track. If you do this and find your track I'm sure you will improve your percentage of balls in and where you want them.
