Get Set All sports demand early and adequate preparation from a golfer to a goalie. Tennis especially calls for a series of preplanned moves designed to return ground strokes safely over the net. Early preparation is not difficult to learn. Yet, countless players hit the ball into the net by rushing their strokes. To overcome this problem a system is required to develop timing and con- sistency. The following is one method that beginners and intermediates can use to improve their preparation. First, make decisions early. Decide whether to hit a forehand or backhand and turn your body accordingly the instant the ball leaves your opponent's racket: Take your racket back as soon as the ball clears the net or you will end up hitting the' ball late. When the ball hits the ground on your sidestep out to plant your foot before the stroke. Through repetition these steps become ingrained. As a further aid to timing try saying "hit" each time your opponent strikes the ball, "bounce" when it comes off the ground in your end and then"hit when your own racket makes ball con- tact. Eventually, you will eliminate that late swing. Watch beginners who constantly mishit shots. Notice how they whip their racket around to overcome poor preparation. By getting set before the ball arrives, your shot is smoother, more stylish as well as more consistenf. Little wonder that professionals make miraculous returns under pressure. They are ready to hit well ahead of the actu'bl stroke. Drawing A shows the ready position used when waiting for the ball. In II, body is turned, racket is back well before ball arrives. In C, the step is taken and the foot is planted before contact. Note that arrow shows direction of racket head. PENN CENTRE COURT TENNIS BALLS Reg.
