TIP OF THE WEEK

OVERHEADS

On the overhead as you set to hit this shot, try to position your body sideways to the net. If your right handed, position the body with your chest to the alley and your non racket shoulder to the net. As you move back from a deep lob remember to get this position established and use cross over steps on retreating back away from the net. This will insure good balance as you hit this shot.

Remember the 4 basic moves for the overhead

1. Pivot sideways
2. Draw the racket back behind the neck
3. Non Racket hand up to find the ball
4. Move the feet to get in the correct spot

Have a great day on the tennis court.
