Help Me Improve My Game!!!? ?

Help Me Improve My Game!!!?

I just played a match today and I did okay against a older girl but I had a lot of things going wrong. I was never ready for any of the shots and I was hitting every ball right to her. I know I need to react quicker to get those shots placed better but how? Any drills to help please?! Also I love playing tennis everyday but I have no one to play with so I hit on the wall. What are ways to get good practice time without another player? Last question, how and where do I toss the ball for the serve? I've been getting a lot of mixed answers. Thanks ! :)

    after serving make sure you get in ready position to be able to play the coming ball. Also you need to keep your feet moving at all times to keep your heart rate up and be able to approach the ball faster. you should toss the ball higher than what you can reach with your arms reaching with a racquet. the toss shouldn't be directly above your head but a little to the right. Make sure you toss high and develop a consistent toss.

    Unless you're going for a kick serve (which I assume your not) you want the toss in front of you and maybe a little to your right. Try placing your racket on the ground with the back of the grip on the baseline and going through your service motion to try to get the ball to bounce on the head of the racket. You want the toss a little higher than you can reach with your racket held up. Try hitting against a backboard with you slightly closer than is comfortable to improve reaction time off of ground strokes. For the first ball after a serve, you'll need someone else to help you if you want to improve reaction time. Have them stand on the instersection between the service line of your side and the singles alley. Then hit a serve. The second your foot makes contact with the ground after the serve (if you jump, that is) they toss the ball for you to hit. For the hitting everything to the middle problem, I don't have a better answer than just aim more to the side until it goes to the side, and if you can't make that work practice. Sorry for the lengthy answer, hope it helps.

    When you run on a PC there are history methods that may have an effect on efficiency, extra RAM will upgrade efficiency on this case. The Steam Community video games and identical on-line sevices will also be effected by way of again flooring updates and Syncing, RAM will support right here too. It is correct that RAM is not going to support except it's so small the RAM need to switch information at the same time the sport is jogging. I feel in RAM, I have 32 gigs. I additionally feel in first-class photos playing cards and processors. My ideas are that a first-class recreation must be performed on a platform important of the builders efforts. Save your cash and feature a PC constructed. I say a PC for a quantity of causes. You can improve and you'll use changes that may broadly increase or utterly difference a recreation. Consoles are best however have a tendency to be restrained (no longer expandable, improve-ready and no mod documents will also be hooked up. I desire you uncover whatever that permits you to completely revel in gaming because it s supposed to be. Good good fortune.

    when you are getting ready to return balls you should stand in the ready position. You should study your opponent the easiest way to do this is by checking if they hit balls hard or soft, if they have topspin or not. I have a flat and fast shot so its hard for my opponent to return the ball after i hit. If your opponent hits the ball hard and fast then move back to the base line, if they are soft then move to no mans land. keep moving your feet constanly so your reaction time will be faster you might think it looks funny but trust me it works. If you are in school join the tennis team or join a club.

    Please make sure you keep your knees bent, head down, eyes on the ball (again head down), when you swing it's very important to leverage using your torso to achieve racquet swing, and use some spin -- breeze up on the ball like a windshield wiper instead of hitting it straight on.

    Hope some of that helps let me know!!!
