I have taken many individual tennis lessons with players looking to improve a certain shot, the trouble is these lessons are often viewed by the player as their only practice session. Once the swing has reached its maximum extension, the butt of the handle and the heel of your hand should feel as though they are combining to pull the racquet head through the contact point and on into the follow through. It is common to see improper movement of the non-hitting arm in amateur play. I spoke a little of this in the last article, don't neglect this other arm, it has the role of "pace car" to the hitting arm's role of "race car", they should work in harmony with one another. Of course there may be another reason; that they don't wish to feel embarrassed in front of their practice partner if they make mistakes practicing their weaker shot. Concentrate on flowing through the shot using all of your kinetic energy and watch that timing!When you are preparing for a big tennis match, it can be quite tought to stay focused so that you can take advantage of situations where you can get the upper hand. Remember that your opponent is ranked higher than you are. All of the top pros have well synchronized arms from start to finish but I've seen so amateurs unaware of their non-hitting arm. Make sure you follow all the way through, hit right
