THE FACTORS OF VELOCITY IN A TENNIS SHOT

STAGNATION DESPITE SINCERE EFFORTS:SITUATION: Not able to hit winners with high velocity as you please?

Causes: 1, Too ambitious to hit hard with high velocity before the body is ready.
             2, Messing up with the three''S'' [synergy,summation,sequence] in a shot.
             3,Flaws in early stage training due to a factor ''emotional hitting''.

    To create velocity in a projectile[remaining all the other factors constant] the synergy of movements,[kinetic chain] the sequence of muscle firing,and the progressive velocity of segments from the medial line to the point of contact with out any interruption are at most important. Any of the above mentioned factors overlapping,due to a situation like,gripping the racket too hard,not able to get the feel of the ball at contact,insufficient range of movement in a joint,and the player's capability to generate velocity by the muscle contractile quality may also affect the speed of shots.

Remedies: Practice ''ABSOLUTE SHOTS'' with the self drop balls/and/or with direct hit self tossed balls with proper awareness  to the details under the supervision of the coach.
