Start Off Easy To rise above the rest it is essential that quality time is spent on all facets of the game, not just one's strengths. By simply starting out slowly and playing normally, you'll become more relaxed. Once the swing has reached its maximum extension, the butt of your tennis racket should be pointing at your opponent.
