During this weeks tennis lessons we have been focussing on the importance of striking the ball out in front of your body. We have noticed that so many of the students coming through the program are often striking the ball at their body and therefore aren't getting the benifit of a full backswing and follow through. Striking out in front allows you to utilise the foreward step and capitalise on your body's momentum.  It also allows the arm to fully extend giving maximum power to the stroke.
