Show Way to Develop Tennis Game Given by Writer Because the incidentals of golf are so expensive and the game itself takes so much time, it cannot be followed up by the average business man the way only tennis can, declares a writer in Boys' Life. The way to develop a tennis game,' advises the writer, is to work on the ground stroke, especially the backhand back-hand drive. The grip comes first. Those used by the great American, French and Australian players, world's champions these past fifteen years, for both backhand and forehand, are the best to be adopted. One's eyes must always be on the ball he is to stroke. The ground stroke is a full length arm swing, either for forehand or backhand, to be performed by swinging swing-ing back easily, racket firmly gripped, no tension to muscles. Rigidity must be avoided in the grip and swing, and speed of arm swing alone counts in both tennis and golf. |
