Atlanta Tennis Podcast

Hey, welcome. You are tuned into the Atlanta Tennis Podcast. Here we talk about everything that has to do with tennis. Whether you are an advanced, intermediate, or beginner player, we have something for you. Today in the episode, we venture into the captivating domain of tennis with Justin Yeo, an Australian-born but currently residing in Puerto Rico, a coaching expert in the game of tennis. We discuss the importance of a non-dominant hand in tennis and explain why it is an important thing that is unfortunately often neglected. Let us walk you through tennis skills and strategies and share some tennis tips with you.

Today’s Guest:

Justin Yeo - the famous coach at the worldwide level, spoke on the less acknowledged aspect, the significance of the non-dominating hand in tennis. By focusing on how ready position to shot preparation can be improved by even the smallest adjustments, its importance in serving to balance out, we will see how any little variables may lead to great variations on the court.

Episode Highlight:

The Importance of the Non-Dominant Hand: To serve, he says that shifting the non-dominant hand to the upper region is crucial. That is the non-dominant hand. On the 27th and 15th filings, it appears important to steer the power development in the bodies along the hands, as well as to support a shoal of dunking.

Technical Insights: Justin’s movement involves rotating the body towards the hand of the racket holding the head up. The ready stance now requires the back arm to help turn the body so that rotation and space can be used well.

Practical Tips: For non-dominant hand users wanting to work out the proper placement of their stroke guide, he recommends that the left hand in the right dominating people's ready position stay wide to avoid making quite some rotation. Further, he explains, use your free hand to bear the weight of the racket right after the ball is hit during the execution of the follow-through to assist in making the swing more powerful.

Here's what you'll learn:

• The surprising truth: The majority of mistakes are caused by problems with the non-dominant hand rather than poor footwork or technique.

• The magic touch of champions: Players like Roger Federer and John McEnroe had remarkable non-dominant hand control, which allowed for unrivaled shotmaking.

• Beyond basic grip: While good grip and swing are important, the feel and posture of the non-dominant hand are critical for accurate ball direction.
• 
  
• Revolutionize your warm-up: Give up the short-court practice! In order to get an appropriate hand extension for longer rallies, Justin advises starting at the baseline.

This episode is perfect for:

• Players at all levels are looking to improve their touch and control.
• Coaches are seeking new techniques to emphasize the value of non-dominant hand usage.
• Anyone looking to obtain a better knowledge of the complexities of tennis.
