All that want to learn how to play better tennis will have to understand that different tennis techniques really need to be properly mastered. Unfortunately few do this and wonder why they are not getting any better. Below you will find some of the most common and important tennis techniques that you need to master. Always remember that there is a need of professional coaching if competing is what you want to do.
Playing the net is definitely a part of playing tennis that is important. If it is possible, one shot that is really hard to block is known as a smash. This does happen if you are closer to the net and the ball comes towards you at the level of the head or shoulders.
Alternatively, instead of hitting the ball back towards the bottom line you can always just stop it near the net. In order to master playing the net you will first have to master another tennis technique. Charging the net is what we are to discuss.
If the opponent runs towards a corner and then hits the ball towards you the best position to hit the ball back is from near the net. You will not always find it suitable to charge nets. This can easily be achieved right before the opponent wants to hit back the ball. Alternatively, when your opponent will charge the net think about using a lobbing ball in order to catch him off guard.
You can not use net play skills if you are bad at regular bottom court hits. Footwork and line shots have to be also mastered. Most tennis techniques rely on using balance and tricking your opponent. Slicing the ball can add a nice twist to any ball played. By doing this you will catch your opponent off guard for sure. Unfortunately you will only be able to do this when you improve hand to eye coordination.
What you read above is just a small part of all the techniques that you can develop. As we did talk about above, coaches can be suitable. If not, your tennis partner can also help you improve if you practice enough. After getting the hang of it all you can master even more tennis techniques.
