Tennis late bloomer diaries 🎾✨
a series documenting my progress as an adult beginner.
One thing that’s really helped my forehand lately is understanding when to wait and when to step in.
🎾 Higher ball → wait, let it come down, then hit with a bigger take-back and more spin
🎾 Low/fast ball → step in, shorten the take-back and take it earlier on the rise
It sounds so simple when my coach explains it 😂 but somehow this made everything click.
Still learning, still working on the timing, and definitely still making plenty of mistakes 😅 but that’s the fun of learning tennis as an adult.
I’ll keep sharing what’s actually helping me as I learn in real time 🤍
Any other late-blooming tennis players here? 🎾
