Lesson 02: Tennis with Greg Jordao - Spacing

During today's lesson with Gary, I focused on improving my forehand and backhand spacing. I have developed a bad habit of getting too close to the ball. I need have more space between me and the incoming tennis ball, so that I can execute a full forehand or backhand stroke.

Forehand

  1. Prepare early!
  2. Work on staying further away
  3. Keep feet further apart (wide stance)
  4. Bend the knees
  5. On low balls, bends the knees even further!
  6. Breathe out during the stroke
  7. Look at the ball

 Backhand 

  1. Prepare early!
  2. Work staying further away
  3. Keep feet further apart (wide stance)
  4. Bend the knees
  5. Make sure to continue the stroke low to high without stopping
