Tennis Tips

Split stepping, what is the point? Here is another fun tennis tip for today from Nu Formal Tennis. The idea of split stepping is to get your body moving, but in the right direction. For example, if you are running to the net, how do you prepare to move right or left? Do you guess? Obviously you cannot guess… Can you slow down? Well, if you do that, you will be too slow to the ball. You must split step! It will cause your body to only have forward motion. After you split step, you can move either left or right without a problem. A question some of you may be thinking is, when should I split step? Well it's all about timing. You want to split step right when your opponent makes contact with the ball. When this happens you would do a small hop. You should do this no matter where you are on the court. It will help your reaction time, which will help you reach more balls. If you have any questions, or would like to have a tennis tip on something please let us know.
