As part of my New Year resolution which is more than half gone though, I decided to get back into Tennis. Now, a year and a half back I did start learning Tennis. I did the beginners course. Then took a break in winters. Started next with the Advanced Beginners course. Sprained my foot in that duration while playing with Dhruv. And then a year and a half later I again enrolled myself back into the Beginners class.
So now, not wanting to forget the basics I was taught I decided to write down what I learnt yesterday.
So here are the things I learnt from Session 1
- The session started with understanding the grip and the Tennis racquet. The face, butt, grip etc.
- To hit the ball, the steps are: Bounce, Step and Hit. Remember to take a step on the opposite side.
- Second, was the simple stroke forward facing. Don't twist the wrist. Make a swing and then fall over.
- Third, was the backhand just using the left hand and with both hands together. Using just the left hand was quite difficult
- Fourth we learnt the Volley shot both Front hand and Back hand
- Lastly, how to pick the ball smartly :)
Overall I really had a fun time.
