Even if you have the wrong grip on your serve you can still play simple patterns. Serves out wide will still pull your opponent off the court enough to make them move. Disclaimer: I'd still rather you try to learn the correct serve grip BUT I understand that it takes time, effort and money (if you pay a coach to help!) to change it. And some players are ok with serving with the wrong grip but still want to improve. Hence this video. #tennis #meikebabel #tennislove #tennisplayer #tennislifestyle #tennislife #tennisball #tennisracket #tennisfun #tennisfitness #tenniscommunity #tennisfans #tennis ..read more

Where should your first volley go in doubles after you transitioned in from the baseline? If you have a high volley go to the short positioned person, the net player. If you have to lift the volley go back to the deeper positioned player. #tennisdoubles #meikebabel #doublespartner #tennispartner ..read more

Sometimes, you're just not able to execute the shot how you had planned it. You've got to be able to adjust certain things. For instance, if you get too close (like me!) you might have to adjust ? your swing ? your follow through (Hi Rafa!) ? your target What else can you be forced to change?
