Beginner at tennis. Any tips?
I'll be taking up tennis soon simply as a workout to get back in shape. My boyfriend and I went out last night and bought tennis rackets and balls and plan to make a trip to our apartment complex's courts a few times a week. He's played a few times but the first time I've picked up a racket was last night. I consider myself pretty athletic as I used to play a lot of sports (softball, volleyball, soccer), I've just been really busy lately and haven't been able to get outside as much as I'd like to. Any tips for a beginner at the game?

Just remember to follow through, it works wonders.I forget which grip (eastern or western) is the best...
And make sure you do two-handed backhands if you're a beginner.
While serving, make sure your wrist flicks down after hitting the ball.
WORK ON BALL PLACEMENT, this is key in tennis.

Just start out hitting the ball back and forth across the net, just to get a feel for it, don't worry about rules right off the bat. Also you could just practice hitting the ball against a wall.Also, you should get some stretchy bloomer shorts and skirt so you have somewhere to tuck the extra ball when serving, like this

Don't bend over too often. Pick up the loose ball with your racquet.To play tennis you need to remeber about forehand and backhand. To do forehand you only use one arm and then you swing the racket and do a follow through. To do back hand you use two hands and then swing forth and make a follow through. The details are pretty hard to explain but you will catch on to them. Tennis takes a while to learn cmpletely. One day you are doing good serves the next day you are doing bad. Make sure you find a good racket and that way you will be able to hit the ball and it will go further away. The best type of rackets are Prince and Wilson.
lol .. tennis is not a simple game u can pick up in weeks ..! .. not even a sports genius . first .. go get a coach .. if u have time .. ! next .. b4 u really hit on the court .. i suggest u do sum bouncing balls on the racket . get the feel of hitting the ball ,and build ur elbow and wrist , rather than u simply swing and hurt ur elbow ... also .. forget about hitting from baseline when u cant hit more than 10 shot with ur partner .. sit at half court .. serving line and play MINI TENIS !..N last but not least ... hit almost everyweek . twice .. haha . practice make perfect ..

If you really are serious about learning how to play, do you and your boyfriend a favor and sign up for a set of beginner group lessons from your local pro.
