Open Stance or Closed Stance? (how, when and why) It's so important to use all 4 tennis stances because knowing how to use each stance and knowing when to use each particular stance plays a massive role in the foundation of your strokes. Having the wrong stance or doing the stance incorrectly creates a negative domino effect with a long list of problems in your performance. This list includes increased chance of injury, lack of balance and alignment, loss of control and power, slow recovery, poor weight transfer and lack of full body utilization. Having the correct stance and using the stances appropriately will completely mitigate all these issues. So many players and coaches think open stances are best or neutral stances are best.
