Whatever grip you use on your forehand ground stroke is what you should be holding the bottom of your racket with when you are waiting for the next shot.<\/p>\n<p>And conversely, whatever position your\u00a0top hand is in\u00a0during your backhand ground stroke is the right ready position for it. That may be up on the throat of the racket or not, depending on if you have a one handed\u00a0or two handed backhand.<\/p>\n<p>Seems simple enough, right?<\/p>\n<p>But there is a major mistake that even D-I players make: forgetting to shift their bottom hand back to their forehand ground stroke position after hitting a backhand.<\/p>\n<p>For a full visual demonstration of the error and how to fix it, watch Scott in the video above!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-30-at-7.38.36-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8596\" src=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-30-at-7.38.36-PM.png\" alt=\"tennis-tips\" width=\"593\" height=\"299\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n[sc:optin-box-modal slug=\"add-15\" linktext='Bonus: Watch \"Add 15 MPH To Your Forehand With This Simple Fix\"' bgcolor=\"F8F1DE\" linkcolor=\"000000\" ]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tennis Tips: The Right Ready Position For Your Style Another PlayYourCourt tennis tips segment comin&#8217; at ya!
