How To Hit A Clean Tennis Shot

http://www.feeltennis.net/why-your-st...

If we hit the ball cleanly, meaning in the sweet spot, we'll also give the ball maximum power with the least amount of effort.

But there's a very common mistake in tennis that prevents us from doing that - and that's facing the target at contact and not facing the ball.

The best to way to correct this mistake is to exaggerate the correction and actually keep moving in the direction of the ball at contact.

That way we'll start hitting the ball more cleanly and feel much better how it is to hit the ball well.

Once we feel that, we can shorten the exaggeration back to normal movement but still use that feel of going into the ball.

This drill can be applied to all tennis strokes: forehand, two-handed backhand, volley, serve and overhead.

Only when you hit a one-handed backhand you face to the side instead of facing the ball.
