Rules of Thumb

Defeat is never kind—chance favors the prepared mind

Keep the ball in play to set up your put-away

When you see the cheek the shot will be weak

Groundstrokes

Low to High or else you die!

Grip it and rip it

If you don’t brush it you can flush it

Spell Topspin last two letters spell IN!

Try and keep the racket Level at contact and remember Level spelled backwards is Level

Power thrills but control kills

Volleys

Down the middle solves the riddle(don’t go out wide to soon)

Stick it don’t flick it

Try to volley from high to low for show

Fame zone:>) Shame zone:>(

Low you go high you die

Volley to their feet the reward is so so sweet!

Get on the dance floor for more play (middle)

Slice and dice; hack and attack

If the volley is high and short

Use the angle of the court

Footwork

Move and groove

Shake and bake

Slide and Glide

Serves and Overhead

Keep your eyes to the sky Until the racket passes by!

You drop your head, you’re dead:>)

Reach for success and always remember rule number #1(see below).

Point the Hip and Throw the Tip

If you decide to miss a shot miss it big, miss it long, and miss it looking good!
