Welcome to the 3T'S (Tom's Tennis Tips), an online tennis lesson from the President and Tennis Director of GSI Tennis.
This month's tip:
Increase your consistency by focusing on the point of contact...
In the 37 plus years I've been teaching tennis, I noticed that most players are obsessed with technique. The reality is that if they don't hit the ball clean, it won't matter how good you look. The cliche you hear all the time is "watch the ball". But, the secret is to watch the ball all the way into the strings and then extend your point of contact for at least 6". Work on that and when you can hit clean with consistency then it might be time to move onto the mechanics...until next time, Coach Tom.
