Duck Woods Racquet Sports Video Tip 95: How to Watch Tennis
When watching the professionals play tennis on TV, do not solely focus on the ball as if you're playing pinball. Instead, pick one player to focus on each point and focus on their shot selection, where they recover to based on the type of shot they've hit, and how they split-step exactly when their opponent is hitting and move immediately to the incoming ball. Do not just watch highlights as flashy shots, such as tweeners and drop shots, seldomly occur throughout a match. Instead, watch the match in its entirety. Focus on the players' shot selection based on the scoreline. You'll find that the pros generally stick to high-percentage tactics, hitting high over the middle of the net with cross courts shots, which allows them the most possible margin of error and minimizes the amount they must recover. This week is an optimal time to practice watching tennis the correct way, given the inclement weather and the TV coverage of the Australian Open. Let me know how this works for you! ...

Great tips! Keep it up
Great advice!!
Love your shirt!❤️
Using a weighted club to reinforce proper body movements can be very beneficial. If you do not have a weighted club, you can use a small dumbbell, or even hold two to three clubs at once.
Get in a solid setup position, make a back swing but at a nice and slow pace. Once the back swing is complete, use your lead leg and put pressure back into that leg while bringing the club down into last parallel. Feel your lead quad and your core, and notice how engaged they are.
Now, push off your lead leg up and around with your core rotating up and around. Your hands and arms stay in front of your sternum the entire time.
Do this 5-10 minutes a day, and enjoy your new speed!

Duck Woods Racquet Sports Tip 94: Service Warm-Up Routine - Part 2
After taking your first few warm-up serves with your feet directly together, concentrating on your ball toss and balance, the next step in the service routine is to hit a few serves with your normal service motion, landing inside of the baseline on your front foot, with your back foot kicked back to balance you and count to 3 slowly, while remaining balanced. After a few serves like this, it's time to begin your full service motion and after landing balanced, spring forward as if you were serve and volleying or hop backwards right away as if you were getting ready to hit a groundstroke. Try this out the next time you perform your service warm-up routine and let me know how it works for you! ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks for braving the swift winds to bring us this tip, Kevin!
Good tip, Kevin. Now if I could only bend my knees, I’d be half dangerous on the court.
