Waiting for the ball
One of the most intriguing questions that I have had in studying tennis for all these years is, Why do better players look like they have more time to hit the ball than beginners do?
If players of higher levels hit the ball harder, theoretically they should have less time to hit the ball than a beginner who hits the ball slower. It is an illusion I have come to see!
because more advanced players have a faster swing, they can start their swing later than the beginner with the slower swing, giving the advanced player more time to get into position to execute their stroke.
You need to hit with a faster swing, not only to hit more effectively, but to buy yourself more time to hit the ball!
