Today we're looking at some common visual illusions of the forehand, backhand and the volley.
These are the ones I have encountered most times when teaching tennis to adult tennis players and as we discuss a certain stroke I realize that their mental image is wrong.
And you cannot correct tennis stroke technique just mechanically without correcting the mental image because it would eventually just revert back to what the player imagines.
Since most people learn tennis stroke technique visually it's very important that the mental image is correct.
So in this video article we'll cover:
- the forehand & backhand contact point distance,
- swing path,
- the height of the preparation,
- the illusion of the wrist slap,
- the open racket face on the backhand slice and
- the volley swing path
In the next installment we'll take a look at the most common serve visual illusions so stay tuned!
