Meet it
in front.

Take the swing and tap as the ball bounces. Early, and the face is closing: it pulls wide. Late, and it's open and slowing: it sails long. In front of the hip, it goes deep.

A model of the principle, not a physics sim. It's one of 24 skills in the Program, each with a drill and a number to beat.

Straight answers, with the numbers.

Every guide gives the short answer first, then the mechanism, the sources, a drill with a number to beat and the faults that stop club players.

Serve and returnHow to serve in tennis: the service motion step by stepBuild the serve through coordinated leg, trunk and arm movement. Compare your loading, racquet drop, contact and landing with a coach. Published energy and racquet-speed contributions describe different quantities; they cannot be added or used to predict your speed gain.Serve and returnHow to hit a reliable second serve under pressureUse a familiar second serve at a comfortable, repeatable effort to a broad target. Keep the brush you have practised; full brush does not mean maximum effort. Slowing the action changes both pace and spin, and net clearance alone does not settle the trade. Judge both whether it lands and what happens in the point. Second-serve points won includes double faults; a rate calculated only on serves that land answers a different question.StrikeHow to hit a modern topspin forehandPrepare early and give yourself room to meet the ball in front. Racquet path and face orientation affect topspin, but they do not guarantee accuracy. In Kwon and colleagues’ collegiate sample, upward racquet velocity and a more closed face were associated with more spin. Use the contact drill to explore comfortable spacing, then test placement with a target.Move and reactWhat is a split step in tennis, and when to do itA split step is a small hop you make before every ball, timed so you land around the moment your opponent hits. Start it on their forward swing. The landing pre-stretches your leg muscles like a spring, so you push off harder toward the ball. Land too early and the spring goes slack. Land too late and you're still in the air.Move and reactWhere to recover after your shot in tennisUse the angle bisector as a recovery reference, then adjust for the opponent’s position, likely replies and the time available. The reference depends on which reply lines you include; it is not always toward the same side of the centre mark. Prepare for the next strike instead of chasing a fixed spot through contact.Play the pointWhat is percentage tennis and how do you play itPercentage tennis means choosing targets and shots so the point ends on your opponent's error more often than on yours. It isn't pushing. It's aggressive with margin: aim through the net window, land past the service line, and go to the bigger half of the court and the weaker wing. Count your own point endings to see which choices help.
