Don Gomsi, a tennis professional of 30 years, provides instructions on how to properly execute a backswing. A straight backswing involves holding the racket at waist level with the head tipped back slightly and elbow bent close to the body. A circular backswing is more fluid and rhythmic, starting like a straight backswing but with body rotation and racket ascending to eye level as the elbow maintains a constant bend except when hitting the ball. Common mistakes to avoid are improperly positioning the elbow, swinging too high, and bending the backhand excessively.
The document discusses different tennis grips and serves. It describes the continental, western, eastern, and power grips and when each is generally used. It also outlines the kick, slice, flat, and slice serves and the types of players that typically employ each serve. Mastering grips and serves are two fundamental components of tennis that give players more options and keep opponents guessing.
Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a sport played on a table divided by a net with lightweight balls and paddles. Players must allow the ball one bounce on their side and return it so it bounces on the opponent's side, scoring when the opponent fails to properly return the ball. The sport originated in Victorian England as an after-dinner game and has developed official international rules governing equipment and play. Skilled players use various shots, including forehand and backhand drives, loops, smashes, pushes, and chops, to outmaneuver opponents.

Badminton is one of the fastest racquet sports played on a court with distinct singles and doubles boundaries. It uses a rally point scoring system where either player can score on each point regardless of who serves. Servers are initially determined by how a tossed shuttlecock lands, and serving order alternates based on winning or losing a rally. Successful shots include high serves to keep opponents back, drop shots to catch them off guard, and smashes attacked to the sides of the court. Defense involves returning shots high or with drop shots to regain position.

2. Introduction
• ThroughGMCB Photography,Gigi Cowan-Bondick serves as a wildlife, outdoor,
and brand development photographer. Beyond her professional activities and
various nonprofit work, Gigi Bondick enjoys staying active by playing tennis
weekly.
The serve is the only shot in tennis over which a player has complete control; a
player can plan the shot in advance and is under no pressure from an
opponent’s shot.As players develop their games, it is important to appreciate
the different types of serves, understanding both the advantages and
disadvantages of each.
The basic serve is the flat serve, also the easiest to learn.With little to no spin,
flat serves generally have low net clearance and, therefore, little margin for
error.That said, the lack of spin allows flat serves to travel across the court
faster, making it a powerful weapon for severs who manage to control it.
The slice serve can be viewed as almost the opposite of a flat serve. Extreme
sidespin causes slice serves to cut diagonally across the court at a striking angle
while sacrificing much of the speed associated with a flat serve.
3. Tennis
• Slice serves provide players with a high degree of control and can
pull returners off the court when the slice travels out wide.
However, returners who catch on to repeated uses of the slice serve
can take big cuts on the relatively slow-moving balls.
Finally, players should learn the topspin and kick serves.The
topspin serve moves in a straight trajectory comparable to that of a
flat serve. However, the added topspin allows for greater net
clearance and a high-bouncing shot for returners to deal with. A
kick serve, meanwhile, incorporates both topspin and slice,
resulting in an unpredictable, high-bouncing shot.The most
difficult serve to return, kick serves are also the most difficult to
master.
