ennis Tip

Splash you Volleys Do you send too many volleys straight into the net or spray them to parts unknown? If you do, You’re probably taking too big a backswing. It’s difficult to control the ball when you make a swinging volley. To remedy the problem, bring your racket hand back only as far as your shoulder. Then, move it quickly for- ward keeping your wrist firm through impact using much the same moƟon you would in splashing some- one in the club pool. That will prevent you from over swinging and create a smoother, more compact moƟon use that moƟon to make a splash on the court! Now have fun on the courts! SomeƟmes it does not maƩer how you play, it is how you look on the court….So come into the tennis shop for the restocked for tennis, fitness, pool, beach and giŌ needs! We will be caring 50+UV ProtecƟon (the highest protecƟon available in apparel) We live in Florida and need to protect our skin! Looking forward to seeing you “ALL on the courts”
