SERVE STROKE
A serve (or, more formally, a service) in tennis is
a shot to start a point. A player will hit the ball with a
racquet so it will fall into the diagonally opposite
service box without being stopped by the net.
Normally players begin a serve by tossing the ball
into the air and hitting it.
FOREHAND GROUNDSTROKE
The tennis forehand is a stroke in which the
inner side of the palm of the dominant hand that is
holding the racket faces forward. Essentially, the
tennis forehand is made by swinging the racket
across one's body in the direction of where one wants
to land the ball.
BACKHAND STROKE
The backhand is a tennis shot in which one swings
the racket around one's body with the back of the hand
preceding the palm. Except in the phrase backhand
volley, the term refers to a groundstroke (that is, one in
which the ball has bounced before it is struck).
FOREHAND VOLLEY STROKE
For a forehand volley, with elbows forward,
preparation involves simply opening the wrist. This
action will place the racket to the side, held horizontally
and parallel to the net. Keep in mind the image of the
hand opening (the racket with it) to catch the ball. This
is the simplest of all the movements.
BACKHAND VOLLEY STROKE
Once the racquet begins to swing forward to
contact the ball the non-dominant hand releases
from the throat of the racquet and travels the
opposite direction to help your shoulders stay turned
sideways and to help keep your body on balance.
OVERHEAD SMASH STROKE
Hitting an overhead smash is somewhat similar
to serving. However, it is done over your head and
while on the move. Run forward or backpedal in
order to get to the ball, before swinging your master
arm back, much like a golf backswing. You may wish
to place your other arm in the air as well, in order to
sight the ball.
