Brush Up the Neck of a Giraffe For Better Forehands

The most important part of the game of tennis is to be able to get the ball over the net and land into the court boundaries. If you want to be more consistent you have to be able to understand you are not hitting a tennis ball, you are lifting and brushing the ball with the strings. The swing pattern in tennis is low to high. Your racket is below the ball on the bounce and brushes up in the same angle of a giraffes' neck. So next time you are playing tennis, imagine a giraffe in front of you and you are going to swing up his neck. When you do, you will see more balls going over the net and you will be in the position to succeed.
