Tennis Strokes & Shots Roundup

Here is a roundup of the instruction on tennis strokes and shots at Operation Doubles. Many of these lessons are video lessons.

Some of the videos are videos of pro tennis players' strokes, but some are real instruction videos. Each type has its advantages and you get the benefit of seeing both types.

A word about those instruction videos from VideoJug. They are excellent. They include everything necessary and nothing unnecessary.

The second part is very important: that's the effective way to teach. I commend Francis Rebiero and the others who put these videos together. They are far more interested in you learning than in showing off how much they know.

Watch these instructional videos and the videos of pros several times. Then come back and watch them again tomorrow. You are learning much visually when you do so, things you're hardly aware of learning at the time.

The written explanations in these Operation Doubles Tennis lessons are written so as to to stimulate your imagination to picture things and imagine how the stroke feels. They also help you understand what's happening. But don't try to formulate instructions out of them that you then try to recall and think of during play.

Learning a stroke is a process of discovery.
