Stroke Mechanics
♦
Consistent ball drop and good stroke mechanics are the keys to a great
serve. Make sure to use your hips and shoulder rotation along with wrist
snap to generate power in your serve.
♦
To return serve, your
racquet should be centered in front of your body in a backhand grip, as
most serves are to the backhand side. When hitting the ball, your body
should be facing a side wall, not the front wall.
♦
For the forehand, your elbow
should be aligned with the top of the shoulder with your forearm being
parallel to the floor. Your elbow joint should be at a 90 degree angle.
Your feet should be parallel to the forehand side wall.
♦ Lead with your elbow, away
from your body. There should be at least 8-12 inches between your elbow
and your body. Extend outward and contact the ball at the furthermost
extension point. At contact the ball should be just past the innerfront
thigh, the racquet face square to the front wall and the bottom of the
racquet frame parallel to the floor. The step into the ball should be
with the lead foot and should be straight, occurring the same time as
the stroke.
♦
The wrist should snap at
contact and continue to follow through towards the front wall.
