Want some good tips for playing tennis?

Here are some great ones that will really help you improve your game. Just remember, these tips mean nothing if you don't act! So make sure you apply  these to your game.

1. Shorten your back swing - A lot of players need to make their movements just a little more compact, you can solve this by practicing the movement slowly, once you get it good and compact, try to do it faster.

2. Use your legs as well as your arms. A lot of players will mainly use their arms and not use the rest of their body in a swing, remember, the power comes from the body, not just the arms.

3. Follow through on ever hit! Too many players will stop after they've hit the ball, this ruins your form! Follow through and you will see a difference, I promise.

4. Toss the ball high! On every serve make sure you're tossing that ball high enough in the air. This is a classic mistake that we can get into, we get nervous that it'll make us lose control, but it can actually help you gain control, so toss that ball!

5. Give it your all, it's easy to kind of give up if you've had one bad game, it's easy to give up the match, but don't do it! Keep your concentration up, if you can do that a lot of times you can create some surprising comebacks.

There you go! 5 tips that'll help out your game! If you want to learn more about how to improve your tennis skills, I would advise checking out my post on How To Improve Your Tennis Serve!
