- Hi, I'm Rob Carver.

Speaker: 00:00:22

Author, the book, 366 days of tennis,

Speaker: 00:00:25

a tip of day to improve your game.

Speaker: 00:00:27

And today I have a great tip for you.

Speaker: 00:00:29

Especially for you players that want to be aggressive

Speaker: 00:00:31

or the times that you need to add power to your shots.

Speaker: 00:00:34

A common mistake when trying to add power

Speaker: 00:00:36

is to swing fast just using your arm and upper body.

Speaker: 00:00:40

However, a great deal of power comes from your legs.

Speaker: 00:00:43

When you need to pass your opponent, remember what you do

Speaker: 00:00:46

when you pass someone on the highway.

Speaker: 00:00:48

You put your foot down on the gas pedal.

Speaker: 00:00:50

When you put your foot down in tennis, you drop down

Speaker: 00:00:52

and you load your weight.

Speaker: 00:00:54

Remember to step on the gas when you want to pass.

Speaker: 00:00:57

As always, have a great day and hang tough.
