The ready position is the foundation for most of your footwork
when you're playing tennis.
How you move around the court in one way or another is gonna relate back to this position.
More generally, the ready position is an athletic stance
it's an athletic position.
My feet here are about shoulder width apart, maybe a little bit more
knees slightly bent, weight's on the balls of my feet
and I have the tennis racket out in front of my body, my arms are relaxed
I have the tennis racket angled up and I'm watching the tennis ball.
Now, more typically what you're looking for
is about to be foot shorter than your normal height.
That's an ideal athletic height
It centers your weight, and allows you to move explosively in any direction around the tennis court
which is what you're looking for. You need to able to go left, right, forward, back
finally, this stance in a lot of ways is similar to athletic stances in other sports
for expample in basketball your stance when you play defense
is very similar to the ready position here
Here is a great shot of Tommy Hass (?) in the ready position
We'll start by looking at this feet, we're gonna zoom in
he's got the weight equally distributed on each foot
the weight 's on the balls on his feet so his heels are up
hes knees are slightly bent, and now we'll move up to his upper body
his arms are out in front of his body, and he's got the racket head angled up
he's holding the tennis racket handle with his rigth hand
but he's got his left hand on the throat
You'll typically see that with players who have one handed backhand like Tommy Hass here
If you have a two handed backhand
you more likely have both hands on the handle but again
it's not a huge concern as long, you can hold it like Hass,
if you have a two handed backhand as long as you get both hands down at the handle
when you gonna hit a backhand
Let's pull it back out, and from this position
again, the ready position is gonna allow him to move in any direction
around the court as fast as possible.
It'll be just as easy for him to go to a forehand as it is to go to a backhand
and this is the starting point he's gonna be in when he is waiting for this opponent to hit him the tennis ball.
