The Importance of a good Ready Position

Here is the story of Percy the Penguin who was a reasonable club player but during each point he kept his racket down by his side simply because his flippers weren’t long enough to allow him to get into a proper ready position. Hopefully you are not like Percy and you are able to get to a good ready position. Weight forward, feet shoulder width apart, racket up and out in front with your non dominant hand on the throat. (The racket’s throat – not your opponent’s).  So don’t be like Percy – get that ready position. Remember – good tennis shots all start from a good ready position.
