Tennis is a fun, fast-paced sport that is a great way to stay in
shape, as well as to spend time with friends and family. It is
also, however, a relatively complicated game with it's own set of
rules and regulations, terms to be defined, equipment needed and so
on. Simply grabbing a tennis racquet and hitting the clay court are
not even close to enough to prepare you for playing tennis. Tennis
Beginners Guide, provides an accessible introduction to the basics
of the game of tennis. The guide helps to define all the terms
related to equipment, the court, hits, rules of the game, and more.
It then goes on to detail the mindset of the successful tennis
player, discussing the psychology of tennis and how to use it to
your advantage. The guide begins by laying out the basic terms that
tennis players will need to familiarize themselves with if they are
to get the most out of their game. Players will need to understand
the following terms: Baseline Service line Alleys The basic tennis
strokes are laid out and explained: Ground strokes Volley Service
Drive Stop Volley Chop Half volley/trap shot Smash Lob The guide
then discusses different ball spins to begin to familiarize you
with the different types of shots you will need to learn. The type
of spin you put on the ball will determine not only its velocity,
but the trajectory of the ball as well. This is where you can best
control your shot. The tennis court itself must be to the standards
defined for professional tennis courts. The guide discusses what
makes an tennis court appropriately sized and laid out for
traditional tennis play. With all the "nuts and bolts" defined, the
Tennis Beginners Guide begins to get into the "nitty gritty" of
theory of how to play tennis. A basic outline for beginners shots
is provided. This section also provides a number of key hints and
tips that all beginning tennis players need to remember. Keeping
your eye on the ball, not the racquet, for example, is one of the
biggest and hardest parts of tennis to learn. The guide then goes
on to discuss how to control your strokes and manage the game. This
is where different ways of actually gripping the racquet are
discussed. It also goes over beginners strokes, how they are used
and when best used. Court position is also discussed. Next, the
guide touches on the psychology of tennis. It is a mind game as
much as a physical one. Momentum is a huge psychological element. A
few good serves or volleys from your opponent can make you begin to
make mistakes as you get flustered trying to counter their moves.
The same goes for your opponent. The guide discusses how to stay
calm and to use this psychology to your advantage against your
opponent. The psychology is different depending on the type of game
played. The guide discusses the psychology of match play, as well
as doubles matches. It also discusses the psychology of the
physical nature of the game. Each type of game must be approached
differently and the guide provides a detailed explanation of the
ins and outs of each type of match play. While tennis is great fun
and a great way to keep active, you are likely to be disappointed
at your performance if you grab a racquet and hit the court. Tennis
is a complex sport that requires a in depth understanding of the
rules and it takes time to perfect each element of the game. And
while tennis is most definitely a physical sport, it is also a
mental one as well. Tennis Beginners Guide provides all the
information you need to get started playing tennis properly, armed
with all the information you need to start improving your game.
