Center Court Pro Shop

Jason Frausto (USPTA Head Professional) is now taking over all of the pro shop duties. Thanks to Brett Weston and Michelle Zwicky for all of their help. Don't forget to have your racquet strung. Your racquet should be strung as many times a year as you play per week. For example, if you play twice a week, you should have your racquet strung twice a year.

Tennis Tip

Serve at the body and volley to the open court (deuce court)

Serving directly at your opponent can often produce a weaker return and reduces the angles. Start by playing the serve directly at your opponent and move to the net. A successful serve at the body will often produce a block return to the center of your court. As you move to the net make a split step just before your opponent makes the return allowing you to quickly change directions. Play a volley on your opponent’s return hitting to the open court. (Call one of our tennis pros to work on this or other singles tactics)

Happy Hitting.....JF
