Stroke production : what is it?
The skill development, performance, and mechanical proficiency, with form under match conditions. The strokes and movements of arms, body, racquet, feet, that allow us to execute tennis shots utilizing control, power, spin and placement to win points. The strokes are the tools at every level that either leave us or stay with us. Learn new skill to enhance performance and defeat certain opponents.
Players practice the skill for all different reasons. Some players need confidence, some need to groove the feeling, and some need to feel the pattern of practice relates to the next opponent. Whatever the skill the development of skills is called stroke production. The practice is the foundation of becoming a good tennis player.
Players need to practice 3-5 hours a day on the shots in the arsenal at the professional level just to stay in shape and grooved the average club player needs to practice 3-5 hours a week to move to next level. The players who only practice 1-2 hours a week are just staying even. The average player has not developed the motor learning soft ware in the brain. This is commonly referred to as muscle memory for the average player.
The best learning method is repetition to learn mechanical proficiency to consistently reproduce the stroke during a real game. This is why some shots leave the player during the match. Example! My forehand is always going long when I hit down the line. This common saying is a bi-product of lack of practice either under match condition or just doing drills. So I can say the old saying that everybody knows, “practice makes perfect” do your homework and enjoy winning shots and stroke development.
