Owl Creek Pro Tip: Serving Power
Looking to get more pop on the serve? Loosen those grips.
Many players have too tight of a grip on the racquet. This habit causes excessive muscle tension and decreases your ability to get that "snap" that you need to generate racquet speed and create more power. One way to work on this is to move your serving hand all the way to the end of the grip with your pinkie finger off the racquet. This will force you to loosen your grip and promote good wrist snap through the ball. |

Many players ask the questions, "Does my racquet need to be restrung?" and "How often?" The old rule of thumb is still pretty accurate: the number of times you play per week is the number of times you should get your racquet restrung per year. This is a general rule, of course, and should be adjusted depending on factors such as the type of string being used, string tension and player style.
If you are one of those players who never restrings, you are not going to get the best performance out of your racquet. Although strings cannot hit the ball for you, they certainly can add to your overall performance. |
