That makes a lot of sense! As one gets older, one's hitting box gets smaller, but at times, the ego gets in the way of admitting this. I will definitely keep this in mind when playing!
great points Pete. I have been working on this exact principle since I noticed I was catching the top of the net a lot when pulled wide to the forehand side. It takes a while to retrain your brain to convert to a safe rally ball instead of taking a full swing. It also gives me time to recover which is a nice bonus. Cheers, Rob
Now that you mention it I think we all knew it. But did not ever put it into practise. From now on this box thing is going to help me a lot. Thanks for this new vision.
Tennis is a game of risk management. You need to know when to play a defensive shot and when to play more aggressive. When youre out of your hitting box you need to be disciplined and mature enough to go for a more conservative shot.
Great content…. 👏👏👏👏 there are a lot of videos on technique etc ( mostly based on modern players ) but for local player comp level the internet needs more like this…. ( playing a local comp tonight, hopefully a win will see us through to the semi’s )
Your advice is 100% sound. Unfortunately your talking to a current recreational tennis society that has many members who have swallowed multiple pitchers of kool-aide advocating for POWER! POWER! POWER! TOPSPIN! TOPSPIN! Play a safe non offensive shot? Punch/block a ball back? Such blasphemy you spout ! 😂😢
