CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR) Tennis Tip no. 1 PROPER FOOTWORK FOR.P.OWER AND ACCURACY Beginners in tennis often wonder why good players make the game look easy. The answer is a matter of footwork. It is footwork, more than quickness oi' an- ticipation, that sets up solid dependable groun- dstrokes. The basics behind footwork are body positioning and weight transfer when striking the ball. First, the body must pivot so that the shoulders are pointing at the net much like a batter preparing at home plate. When the body uncoils from this position, a weight transfer occurs from the back to front foot. This action is more commonly known as stepping into ball. Simple movements as described above allow any player to put power and accuracy into his shot, without extra effort. Yet, many beginners and inter- mediate players fail to turn fully and step toward the oncoming ball. The diagrams below show how the feet turn. Keep in mind that the leading foot is firmly planted before the racket meets the ball and that the trailing foot does not leave the ground. A court is not needed to perfect footwork. Simply practise in front of a mirror without a ball. The benefits gained from repetition of these movements cannot be over emphasized.
