Stop Hitting Your Serves into the Net!

Hey everyone. Here's another 5 Minute tennis lesson that I just posted on my YouTube channel today.

This is something I always use when I'm serving - I always tell my doubles partners this too when I see them struggling.  It's a simple admonishment (hey - I used a big word!) to oneself to keep your head up!.

Simple.

Guaranteed.

Works every time or your money back!

Talk to you later!!

Aceyou's 5 Minute Tennis Lesson - Point Your Way to a Better Overhead

Hey there. Tired of looking like a total moron when you flub that overhead? Especially when you do it in front of a crowd of people (and USTA League teammates who probably are wondering why they ever even invited you to be on their team after that)?

Well Ace is here to help you fix that, help you correct your overhead motion, and get you to understand better why this shot is called an overhead SMASH!!!!!

All you have to do is point at the ball with your non-racket hand when you see a lob or short high ball coming your way. Keep pointing at it until you reach up and hit it with your racket.

Simple. Easy to remember. Not hard at all. Unless...you really are a total moron, in which case, Ace suggests you take up another activity, like golf! (Everybody sucks at golf, which isn't even an athletic activity. It's just a game, like billiards!)

Aceyou's 5 Minute Tennis Lesson - Fix Your Backhand Groundstrokes with this Simple Tip

Hey everyone - I had nothing to do today, so I went out and shot some more video. Here's a great tip if you are having trouble with your backhand, especially if your shots are flying high and long.



Just concentrate on keeping your front shoulder down and pointing toward the ball. It helps to ensure that you hit off of your front foot instead of your back foot.

Anyway, give it a look, see what you think. Thanks!

Ace
