What is the best brand of racquet? how much does it cost?
For forehands what you want to do is have a low to high strike but as you hit the ball you have to close your racket so it "brushes" the ball, thus generating topspin. As for your serves you don't want to come straight down on the ball but slightly from the side (from the right if you're right handed).What do you do when you have been playing Tennis for 3 yrs and u suck at it?
to generate more topspin you hit from a low to high movement as for serves tyr learning the kicked back where you basically hit the ball starting at 8 o'clock moving towards 1 o'clock of the racketWill nadal win the next match if played against federrer?
The first thing to look at is your grip. An Eastern forehand grip is the most common here in the U.S. Often referred to as the "handshake" grip. Assuming you are right handed, hold the racquet by the throat with your left hand making sure the racquet face is perpendicular to the ground. Then shake hands with the handle. The palm side of your index knuckle should be flat against the side bevel of the grip. Depending on the mechanics of your swing, this grip should be adequate to produce good topspin. The swing should begin with the racquet head below waist level and your left side facing the net (for closed stance). The swing should progress smoothly with contact point near your front foot and finish high over your shoulder. Pay attention to the finish. Generally, the higher the finish, the more topspin you will create. Also, at the stokes conclusion most of your weight should be on the front foot. The above is for a closed stance forehand. The open stance forehand is what most of the professional and top amatuers use today and if thats what you want to hit you should consult your local tennis professional for advice. The mechanics of the open stance ground stroke are more complex and should be taught by a professional to reduce your chances for injury. The "loading" up on the back hip and the extreme rotation of the open stance lend itself to repetitive injuries.As for a topspin serve, the grip is also a good starting point. The best grip for most spin serves is the continental grip. Holding the racquet by the throat with your left hand, start at the top bevel (the flat areas of the grip extending towards the head) and count one bevel to the right. Place the palm side of your index knuckle on this bevel. The vee formed at the junction of your thumb and index finger should be at the top bevel or slightly left of it. To hit a true topspin serve (sometimes referred to as a kick serve) toss the ball above your head and slightly behind your stance striking the ball somewhere near the 7 o'clock position and snap your wrist ending up somewhere near the 2 o'clock postion. Your follow through should be to the left of your stance. This is not the easiest serve to master but, perfect practice makes perfect so get a basket of balls and experiment with your toss, contact point and follow through. Hope this helps. Good luck and good shots.
