Stability Trumps Moving Through Shots
- Moving through the ball reduces stability and shot consistency across all levels of play.
- Planting and staying still before contact yields dramatic improvement even within one session.
Use Serve Stillness As A Model
- Serve success shows the power of being planted: stillness produces consistency.
- On other shots, aim to reach the spot and be planted before you stroke through the ball.
Burst, Plant, Then Return
- On returns, get to the spot then hit the ball stationary before you continue moving.
- If you must move to the ball, burst to position, stop, reset shoulders/hips, then stroke.
