Tennis: Add Your Hips

Sportplan has been very helpful in guiding me through my first year...
Bill, Newly qualified coach

DESCRIPTION

Coach stands in front of the player with racquet.

The player shadows the serve while trying to touch the coach's racquet with their leading hip.

COACHING POINTS

Proper biomechanics have to be considered while working on any stroke's technique.

Adding prestretch action by pushing hips forward in trophy position is an important step to add a few mph into the delivery.

This simple exercise helps players understand this motion because they can feel immediatly each time if they are doing it correctly.
