Tennis Coaches Use The Tennis PracticeHit For Tennis Coaching

Practice any time, anywhere!  For every age and skill level.

This is a common problem for players who take tennis lessons but do not have the opportunity to practice between tennis lessons. Like learning to play the piano, or other instrument, learning how to play tennis within the bounds of improving form, consistency, footwork and co-ordination must be properly addressed between tennis lessons.

Obviously, hitting on a wall or ball machine can help you work on aspects of stroking the ball without having to have a partner. However, I must caution you: I have seen more harm done by players who think that they are working on their game by hitting on a wall while using just wrist movements and incorrect swing patterns over and over. But the ball comes back too fast for them to use proper form.

Over the 28 years that I have taught tennis, for the most part, I have never been fond of training gimmicks. However, over the past 6 months, I have found a device that really provides the student improvement for almost every element of stroke production. They can make ground strokes while minimizing the possible negative effects of hitting on a wall as mentioned. The device is called the Tennis PracticeHit. It has a foam ball on the tip of a fiberglass shaft that is attached to a base and allows the shaft and ball to swing back and forth. Bands can be adjusted to control the speed at which the shaft oscillates.

I personally use 10 of these in my junior and adult intermediate clinics as they really do help players develop proper stroke mechanics during an active sequence. You can check out the many properties of this training device at www.tennispracticehit.com or call 1-800-231-9906 to receive information. No, I am not connected to this company in any way!

If you are really looking for a tennis teaching / learning tool to effectively work your feet, your hand eye co-ordination and development of stroke technique, this is probably the best device that I can recommend."

With the addition of your PracticeHit trainer, our program activity level, fitness level and match results have greatly improved. This showed after a very short time of use!

I've purchased 25 units for our classes as well as for students' personal use. With the PracticeHit, our students continue their training at home, outdoors or indoors, good or bad weather.

There are three areas where the PracticeHit has shortened the learning curve of my students. (1) Movement, balance, footwork.  (2)  Timing, rhythm.  (3) Stroke development.  Fitness and match results have greatly improved.

Not to be overlooked is the fitness and "Fun Factor". No more standing in lines during clinics (boring). Players now actively move through stroke stations to rehearse their strokes and movement, then hit balls with the tennis coach.

I also call these trainers "TREAD MILLS" for tennis players. The PracticeHit is not only used for stroke development but also to improve the aerobic conditioning of our tennis players. Students no longer stand in line. They are in constant motion. Many thanks.

Note:  Many top academy sports Coaches report that the Tennis PracticeHit is a great new tennis lessons schedule launcher. Tennis Coaches use the Tennis PracticeHit for superb instruction drills that permit Tennis Coaches to fully demonstrate the useful tennis tips that they provide.
