As we all know once a habit becomes inherent a blueprint of behaviour is automatically established and becomes very hard to change.We all know how hard it is to alter an entrenched habit like changing your diet. So why are the tennis governing bodies insisting that tennis be taught this way?Here are 5 bad habits I have witnessed junior players developing using this method.#1. The Most Important Shot In TennisThe junior player has to hit their serve down in order to get it into the mini tennis court, which in reality is the opposite of what you have to do in the real game on a full size court. Even Top Pro player like John Isner, a giant of man at 6 foot 10 inches has to hit his serves up to get the ball into court. Tennis is a vertical game and its really important alternate picking that serves are hit up from day one!#2. Serving And Volleying With The Wrong Grip To get early success the serve and forehand volley are taught with the forehand grip. This is fundamentally wrong as the adolescent player will not develop spin or control on the ball and will find it hard when they progress to the bigger court with heavier balls. The hammer grip must be used on these shots to create the habit of hitting the ball with spin and control from the outset of their development!These grips are easy to put into practice with our simple Tennis in Minutes system which allow players to master and discover these shots with the correct grips in next to no time.#3. Unnatural Movement for the ForehandYoung players are told to stand in 3/4 open stance for the forehand.
