Practice Notes Practice 13 week 4

Golf and tennis are very similar.  The unit turn, the way you keep your arms in sync with your body, and the lag of the club are all elements you learn in tennis.  The other similarity is golf and tennis are slow growth sports--meaning it takes time to master the various shots.  In basketball, if you dribble or shoot, you're pretty much got the skills necessary to play basketball--after that it's running, defending, and positioning.  In tennis, it's the serve, the return, the approach, the volley, the overhead, the lob, and the dropshot on both the forehand and backhand.  In golf, it's the 14 clubs you can have in your bag and the bad lies.

The first thing I have really noticed is that the cleaner I hit, the smoother I am in my swing, the more power I get on the ball--this is very similar to tennis serving, because you want to accelerate the hand and racquet but keep a loose arm so there is a snap akin to snapping a towel at your friends.

So using my tennis expertise, I am hoping to make a series of articles and videos relating the two.  The first lesson in tennis is technique and form so that is what I am striving to do.  Once you achieve this, you add in consistency and power.  The hardest part as a teacher is ensuring your students don't screw up their form by trying to kill the ball.
