Tip of the day
Tyler from Universal Rackets and his student, Michelle, focus on improving the return of serve for a tournament.
Tyler emphasizes the importance of hitting a deep, low return of serve, as it sets the tone for the point and allows the returning player to reach the kitchen line first.
He observes Michelle's return technique, noting the need for forward movement and momentum.
Tyler introduces a drill where Michelle must swing and step past a paddle placed on the court to ensure forward motion.
He also emphasizes the importance of holding the paddle loosely and following through fully towards the target.
The video includes drills for practicing these techniques, including shadow swinging, hitting returns with forward motion, and a game scenario where Michelle must reach the kitchen line in two shots.
