3.  Players looking to improve their tennis game
should first scrutinize their grip. When hitting
the ball, players will grip the racquet in
different ways depending on their stroke.
Generally, players should grip the racquet
as if they were shaking someone’s hand.
For groundstrokes, the player’s index finger
should be positioned in the right lower edge
of the racquet.

4.  Serves also present many opportunities for
improvement: in good serves, the ball should
travel up and down in front of the player’s front
foot within 18 inches. Striving for a consistent
ball toss on each serve will help to increase
one’s serving percentage.
Finally, in order to be successful in tennis, one
must use the right equipment. Adults should use
racquets that measure either 26 or 27 inches in
diameter. Additionally, players should wear
tennis shoes that can tolerate constant
movement from side to side.
