5.About the form of tennis

 

I would like to explain from the basic position of soft tennis first of all. First, your leg is opened at least to your shoulder width, your knee is bent, and the waist is bent. Next, the heel is floated and weight is put on your tiptoe. Moreover it finally lengthens your back straightly, the knee currently bent is bent inside. Next, how to have a racket is explained. You have a racket with both hands at an angle of about 45 degrees first. At this time, the portion of the gut of a racket is brought to the neighborhood of your breast from your month. You can pose to a forehand and backhand immediately by memorizing this basic position.

 

Then, I explain a forehand stroke. First, the backswing which is a preparatory step of a stroke is explained. First, both hands are opened from a basic position. Both hands are made to become a character of 8 at this time. Since it becomes the cause of hurting one's wrist, the wrist should take care not to move to the last at this time. Your elbow is lightly taken out in front so that your elbow may open too much and it may not come beside bodily. You are made to become parallel to the ground about the height of a racket in the neighborhood of the waist. While you remember the first foundations, don't lower the racket head.

 

Next, the forward swing which is the operation which actually hits a ball is explained. Next, the waist is twisted from the posture of a backswing and weight is put on your right leg. At this time, the tip of that racket is turned back. Here, let's take care so that your wrist may not be moved. You do not try to pull the racket by your wrist, and it can be made to make a backswing natural by turning the shoulder, the body, and the waist.  Your left hand is lengthened in front, and it is established so that a ball may be caught.

 

The last is explanation about impact. You swing a racket using a twist of the waist, stepping toward a left leg in front of one step. You hit a ball ahead rather than the left leg toward which it stepped. If your racket is parallel and perpendicular to a coat at this time, the hit ball will fly straightly. Probably, impact will be better to carry out the image which strikes the bedding currently dried. A better stroke can be struck if these operations can be made smooth.
