ILLUSTRATION CAPTIONS

{PLATE II. FOREHAND GRIP. FRONT VIEW. Notice the straight line of
the arm, hand and racquet, the flat racquet face, the natural
finger position on the handle. The racquet is in position to hit
a forehand drive.

FOREHAND GRIP, BACK VIEW. The line is straight, the head of the
racquet slightly in advance of the hand. The pose is at the
moment of contact between ball and racquet.}


{PLATE III. THE COMPLETED SWING OF THE FOREHAND DRIVE. Notice the
body position, at right angles to the net, the weight on the
front or left foot, having passed from the right foot with the
swing, just at the moment the ball is struck. The racquet is
carried to the limit of the swing and falls into the left hand at
height of the shoulder. The racquet face has passed over the
ball. The reader is looking through the strings. The stroke was
made with the far side of the racquet from the camera. The eye is
following the ball in its flight. The whole movement is forward.
The tendency in hitting a forehand is to stop the swing too soon.
Notice the full follow through to the extreme limit of my swing.
The hitting plane in this picture is too high, the shot having
been made almost at the shoulder. The correct hitting plane for
the forehand drive is along the line of the waist. Play all
drives at this height if possible. Step back to allow the ball to
fall waist high if necessary rather than play it at the shoulder.
Hit your forehand drive decisively but do not attempt to kill
every shot. Be accurate first and attain speed second.}

{PLATE IV. BACKHAND GRIP. FRONT VIEW. Note the hand on top of the
racquet handle, yet retaining the straight line of arm, hand and
racquet Is in the forehand. The change from the forehand grip is
one quarter circle of the handle. The knuckles are up and
directly towards the opponent. The head of the racquet is
advanced slightly towards the ball.

BACKHAND GRIP. BACK VIEW. Notice the line of arm and racquet is
straight and the hand on top of the handle. The thumb in my
stroke is around the handle, but may be placed up the handle if
desired. Personally, I do not use it, and do not advocate it, as
it tends to detract from the freedom of the grip.}

{PLATE V. COMPLETION OF THE BACKHAND DRIVE. Notice the feet are
firmly set, with the weight on the right foot, to which it was
shifted from the left with the swing. The racquet has struck and
passed over the ball, topping it. The body is at right angles to
the net, the left arm extended to aid in perfect balance. The
whole movement is forward, while the eye is on the ball, in its
flight. The stroke in the picture was off a high bounding ball
which accounts for the racquet's position being above the wrist
in order to bring down the ball. The perfect backhand drive is
off the waist, and the racquet passes along that hitting plane.
Meet the ball well forward on the backhand, at least in front of
the right hip. This will obviate the common error of slicing off
to the sideline and will tend to pull the ball, into court. The
locked wrist, with no turn is essential on all backhand shots
below the shoulders. It insures solidity of impact and adds pace
to the return. I believe in all beginners playing their backhand
shots cross court until they have fully mastered the footwork and
locked wrist swing. The common error of slicing the backhand
cannot be too strongly emphasized and condemned and cross
courting the shot tends to avoid it.}

{PLATE VI. THE FOREHAND VOLLEY. Notice the body at right angles
to the net, the left foot advanced to the shot, the weight evenly
distributed on the feet, the wrist slightly below the racquet
head, the racquet head itself slighly{sic} tilted,,{sic} to lift
the volley, and the whole movement a "block" of the ball. The
wrist is stiff. There is no swing. The eyes are down. watching
the ball. The left arm is the balance wheel. The body crouched
and the knees bent.}

{PLATE VII. THE BACKHAND VOLLEY. The body position and weight
control and balance are the same as in the forehand volley. The
crouch is more pronounced as the hitting plane is lower. The head
of the racquet is firmly blocked by the stiff, locked wrist. The
eyes are centered on the ball, which has just left the racquet.}
