Tip:
The
Follow-Through for a Beginner
The
follow-through is a mirror into what is wrong or right
in a stroke. One that wraps around your neck like over-cooked
pasta usually sends the ball out wide. A sharp downward
motion makes the ball go straight down towards the court.
Stopping the stroke at contact causes the ball to sail.
The
best follow-through for a beginner is to finish the shot
smoothly with your racquet on edge as though you have
a penny on the top edge. Always pose at the end and check
out the ending. You will really be able to tell the difference. |
