There are several secrets to achieving and maintaining the ultimate power in all your stokes in tennis.
In this article I will teach one of these secrets and once you understand and use this simple technique it will make all your shots powerful.
There is a certain assumption that if a tennis player has the proper arm strength that all his or her shots will be executed with the ultimate power.
Let me explain with this myth is totally wrong and how to correct this mistake easily.
If you only utilize your arms strength in performing your shots then you might generate the following power: Let's say your arm weighs 30 Lbs and you move that arm at 5 miles per hour during the execution of the stroke then your potential power would be in the range of (30 Lbs x 5 mile per hour = 150 pounds of power).
Now if you use your center of gravity which equals your own body weight then let's say you weight 165 Lbs and you multiply it at 5 miles per hour then your potential power would be: 165 Lbs x 5 miles per hour = 825 pounds of power).
Now the question is, which one would you like: 150 pounds or 825 pounds? I hope you said 825 pounds because this is the potential power you can achieve if you follow the following advice: 1.
If you hold your tennis racket with your right hand then make sure that you push your right shoulder in a downward direction.
Make sure that it isn't tight but firm.
2.
This action will automatically connect your upper body with your hips which is your center of gravity.
The center of gravity is what moves your whole body weighs.
3.
If you hold your tennis racket with your left hand then make sure that you push your right shoulder in a downward direction.
Make sure that it isn't tight but firm.
Note: The above advice and steps will ensure that any shots that you do will be initiated with all of your body weight and not just the arm power by itself.
Review: If you are a right handed player then press the right shoulder down firmly.
If you are a left handed player, then press your left should down firmly.
Try a bit of experimentation with the above concept and you'll see immediate results guaranteed!
