Lesson 6:
The Overhead: Shoulder Rotation & Footwork
This lesson emphasizes the importance of shoulder rotation in executing a powerful overhead in tennis. By focusing on turning the opposite shoulder, players learn to create the necessary coil and uncoil motion. Additionally, the lesson introduces footwork drills, such as the scissor kick, to improve the transfer of weight from the back foot to the front foot. Players also practice preparation techniques, including proper grip and the "back scratcher" position, to achieve a more effective overhead shot.
