Tennis Tip
The Advantages of hitting crosscourt
Hitting crosscourt shots have many advantages that can help you play better tennis and win. For example, your shot crosses the lowest part of the net, you have more court to hit in (82 feet compared to 78 feet down the line) and a crosscourt shot produces more of a natural follow through. Let your opponent try to change the direction of the ball hitting your crosscourt shot down the line. That is a lower percentage shot and they will make more errors. So keep it crosscourt and keep winning.
Happy Hitting…..JF
