There are many things on the court that are intuitively learned, but there are others that must be rationally understood before they enter the space of sensations. One of these things is Where do you aim your shots. Here I am not talking about tactical questions, but simply about the target you choose to direct your shot. Normally we talk about areas, margins, directions, angles or placement of the ball, but we will see one of the basic aspects that can help you to give more criteria to your vision of the court. Most players do it unconsciously, but understanding where\u00a0<\/span>do<\/span>\u00a0you aim your shots will generate more order in the game.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What has been said must be logical, right? A target at 22 meters will be <\/span>more difficult to hit than another at 11 meters. Now let\u2019s imagine a tennis court and create two aims in it: one in the place where we want our ball to bounce and the other <\/span>at the height<\/span>\u00a0of the net. The difference is almost double. If we aim at the place where we want the ball to bounce, this target will always be further away than the one above the net.<\/span><\/p>

There is one thing to keep in mind, which is the feeling of different ball trajectories. By varying them<\/i><\/span>,<\/i><\/span>\u00a0between shots<\/i><\/span>,<\/i><\/span>\u00a0with more or less margin on the net, we have to develop the ease of visualizing the curvatures of the ball. With the height and spin that we give to the ball<\/i><\/span>,<\/i><\/span>\u00a0we must know its possible placement on the other side of the court.<\/i><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As we have said, the targets above the net are closer. Visualize a margin scale on the net and develop (you will have already done it if you are at a certain level) sensations of trajectory and spins of the ball. By choosing a neutral or defensive shot, you will have a much better chance of hitting if you aim for the closest target: above the net. That will give you much more security, taking into account that security and percentages are what we are looking for in this type of shot.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the other hand, there are\u00a0<\/span>also<\/span>\u00a0aggressive shots: pressure or attacking strokes. Normally<\/span>\u00a0in this case<\/span>\u00a0we look for greater precision and we reduce margins. Therefore, in these shots<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0you must choose the area or the placement where you want the ball to bounce as the target of your shot. In this case<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0the target will be further away\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0the shot will be more risky, but choosing this type of shot means that you are in a position to assume it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
