DIR. Dwight Tells How to Make the Stroke
in Lawn Tennis.
After getting the ball into play by
the service, the next thing to do is TO
return it over the net off the ground.
As has been said before, there are
practically only two different ways of
making the return, one with the racket
vertical. the other with IL horizontal;
the latter is a modification Of The ten
mis- stroke or cut, the former is a stroke
which lawn tennis has produced. and
might well be called the lawn-tennis
stroke. Let us take it first: The ball
is allowed to drop very low and the
player steps forward to meet it with
the left foot in the fOrehanded stroke.
The ball is taken near the ground,
with the racket, as before stated,
nearly vertical. There should be
little or no swing of the racket back
ward. but it should be held at a
little distance from the ball, and then
quietly brought forward 10 make the
stroke. As the racket meets the ball
il should be lifted so that the ball
seems To 20 off the lower end Of the
racket. This motion gives an over
twist forward 10 the ball aud in this
twist lies the essential part OF the
stroke. The ball is. so to speak. lifted
by the racket, so that it has every
chance to rot over the net; aud on the
other hand, as soon as the force Of the
stroke is over the twist tends to bring
the ball sharply downward. II is easy
to see that one can hit harder by using
this stroke without hitting ont Of
court. Moreover. such a stroke IS
very difficult 10 yOlley well. because
the ball shoots downward after pass
ing the net. and must therefore be vol
Legged upward TO be- returned. james
