Pro Tip: Watch the Ball
By Owl Creek Staff
Those three words are commonly heard on the tennis court during a lesson, and it's a mistake most players make. Always follow the ball into your strings, and avoid taking your eyes off the ball before contact. Instead, many players look to see where they are going to hit the ball or where the opposing player is positioned before actually hitting. If your head lifts up, so does your racquet, often causing miss-hits. Most of us have played enough tennis to know if the ball will stay in or not once we hit the ball, without even looking at the court. Trust yourself, keep your eyes on the ball, and remember that you can't hit what you can't see.
