			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The forehand drive is the opening of every offensive in tennis, and, as such, should be most carefully studied. There are certain rules of footwork that apply to all shots. To reach a ball that is a short distance away, advance the foot that is away from the shot and thus swing into position to hit. If a ball is too close to the body, retreat the foot closest to the shot and drop the weight back on it, thus, again, being in position for the stroke. When hurried, and it is not possible to change the foot position, throw the weight on the foot closest to the ball.</p>
<p>The receiver should always await the service facing the net, but once the serve is started on the way to court, the receiver should at once attain the position to receive it with the body at right angles to the net.</p>
<p>The forehand drive is made up of one continuous swing of the racquet that, for the purpose of analysis, may be divided into three parts:</p>
<p>1. The portion of the swing behind the body, which determines the speed of the stroke.</p>
<p>2. That portion immediately in front of the body which determines the direction and, in conjunction with weight shift from one foot to the other, the pace of the shot.</p>
<p>3. The portion beyond the body, comparable to the golfer&#8217;s &#8220;follow through,&#8221; determines spin, top or slice, imparted to the ball.</p>
<p>All drives should be topped. The slice shot is a totally different stroke.</p>
<p>To drive straight down the side-line, construct in theory a parallelogram with two sides made up of the side-line and your shoulders, and the two ends, the lines of your feet, which should, if extended, form the right angles with the side-lines. Meet the ball at a point about 4 to 4 1/2 feet from the body immediately in front of the belt buckle, and shift the weight from the back to the front foot at the MOMENT OF STRIKING THE BALL. The swing of the racquet should be flat and straight through. The racquet head should be on a line with the hand, or, if anything, slightly in advance; the whole arm and the racquet should turn slightly over the ball as it leaves the racquet face and the stroke continue to the limit of the swing, thus imparting top spin to the ball.</p>
<p>The hitting plane for all ground strokes should be between the knees and shoulders. The most favourable plane is on a line with the waist.</p>
<p>Never step away from the ball in driving cross court. always throw your weight in the shot.</p>
<p>The forehand drive from the left court is identically the same for the straight shot down your opponent&#8217;s forehand. For the cross drive to his backhand, you must conceive of a diagonal line from your backhand corner to his, and thus make your stroke with the footwork as if this imaginary line were the side-line. In other words, line up your body along your shot and make your regular drive. Do not try to &#8220;spoon&#8221; the ball over with a delayed wrist motion, as it tends to slide the ball off your racquet.</p>
<p>All drives should be made with a stiff, locked wrist. There is no wrist movement in a true drive. Top spin is imparted by the arm, not the wrist.</p>
<p>The backhand drive follows closely the principles of the forehand, except that the weight shifts a moment sooner, and the R or front foot should always be advanced a trifle closer to the side-line than the L so as to bring the body clear of the swing. The ball should be met in front of the right leg, instead of the belt buckle, as the great tendency in backhand shots is to slice them out of the side-line, and this will pull the ball cross court, obviating this error. The racquet head must be slightly in advance of the hand to aid in bringing the ball in the court. Do not strive for too much top spin on your backhand.</p>
<p>I strongly urge that no one should ever favour one department of his game, in defence of a weakness. Develop both forehand and backhand, and do not &#8220;run around&#8221; your backhand, particularly in return of service. To do so merely opens your court. If you should do so, strive to ace your returns, because a weak effort would only result in a kill by your opponent.</p>
<p>Do not develop one favourite shot and play nothing but that. If you have a fair cross-court drive, do not use it in practice, but strive to develop an equally fine straight shot.</p>
<p>Remember that the fast shot is the straight shot. The cross drive must be slow, for it has not the room owing to the increased angle and height of the net. Pass down the line with your drive, but open the court with your cross-court shot.</p>
<p>Drives should have depth. The average drive should hit behind the service-line. A fine drive should hit within 3 feet of the baseline. A cross-court drive should be shorter than a straight drive, so as to increase the possible angle. Do not always play one length drive, but learn to vary your distance according to your man. You should drive deep against a baseliner, but short against a net player, striving to drop them at his feet as, he comes in.</p>
<p>Never allow your opponent to play a shot he likes if you can possibly force him to one he dislikes.</p>
<p>Again I urge that you play your drive:</p>
<p>1. With the body sideways to the net.</p>
<p>2. The swing flat, with long follow through.</p>
<p>3. The weight shifting just as the ball is hit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Service is the opening gun of tennis. It is putting the ball in play. The old idea was that service should never be more than merely the beginning of a rally. With the rise of American tennis and the advent of Dwight Davis and Holcombe Ward, service took on a new significance. These two men originated what is now known as the American Twist delivery.</p>
<p>From a mere formality, service became a point winner. Slowly it gained in importance, until Maurice E. M&#8217;Loughlin, the wonderful &#8220;California Comet,&#8221; burst across the tennis sky with the first of those terrific cannon-ball deliveries that revolutionized the game, and caused the old-school players to send out hurry calls for a severe footfault rule or some way of stopping the threatened destruction of all ground strokes. M&#8217;Loughlin made service a great factor in the game. It remained for R. N. Williams to supply the antidote that has again put service in the normal position of mere importance, not omnipotence. Williams stood in on the delivery and took it on the rising bound.</p>
<p>Service must be speedy. Yet speed is not the be-all and end-all. Service must be accurate, reliable, and varied. It must be used with discretion and served with brains.</p>
<p>Any tall player has an advantage over a short one, in service. Given a man about 6 feet and allow him the 3 feet added by his reach, it has been proved by tests that should he deliver a service, perfectly flat, with no variation caused by twist or wind, that just cleared the net at its lowest point (3 feet in the centre), there is only a margin of 8 inches of the service court in which the ball can possibly fall; the remainder is below the net angle. Thus it is easy to see how important it is to use some form of twist to bring the ball into court. Not only must it go into court, but it must be sufficiently speedy that the receiver does not have an opportunity of an easy kill. It must also be placed so as to allow the server an advantage for his next return, admitting the receiver puts the ball in play.</p>
<p>Just as the first law of receiving is to, put the ball in play, so of service it is to cause the receiver to fall into error. Do not strive unduly for clean aces, but use your service to upset the ground strokes of your opponent.</p>
<p>Service should be hit from as high a point as the server can COMFORTABLY reach. To stretch unnecessarily is both wearing on the server and unproductive of results. Varied pace and varied  speed is the keynote to a good service.</p>
<p>The slice service should be hit from a point above the right shoulder and as high as possible. The server should stand at about a forty-five degree angle to the baseline, with both feet firmly planted on the ground. Drop the weight back on the right foot and swing the racquet freely and easily behind the back. Toss the ball high enough into the air to ensure it passing through the desired hitting plane, and then start a slow shift of the weight forward, at the same time increasing the power of the swing forward as the racquet commences its upward flight to the ball. Just as the ball meets the racquet face the weight should be thrown forward and the full power of the swing smashed into the service. Let the ball strike the racquet INSIDE the face of the strings, with the racquet travelling directly towards the court. The angle of the racquet face will impart the twist necessary to bring the ball in court. The wrist should be somewhat flexible in service. If necessary lift the right foot and swing the whole body forward with the arm. Twist slightly to the right, using the left foot as a pivot. The general line of the racquet swing is from RIGHT to LEFT and always forward.</p>
<p>At this point and before I take up the other branches of serving, let me put in a warning against footfaulting. I can only say that a footfault is crossing or touching the line with either foot before the ball is delivered, or it is a jump or step. I am not going into a technical discussion of footfaults. It is unnecessary, and by placing your feet firmly before the service there is no need to footfault.</p>
<p>It is just as unfair to deliberately footfault as to miscall a ball, and it is wholly unnecessary. The average footfault is due to carelessness, over-anxiety, or ignorance of the rule. All players are offenders at times, but it can quickly be broken up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Footwork is weight control. It is correct body position for strokes, and out of it all strokes should grow. In explaining the various forms of stroke and footwork I am writing as a right-hand player. Left-handers should simply reverse the feet.</p>
<p>Racquet grip is a very essential part of stroke, because a faulty grip will ruin the finest serving. It is a natural grip for a top forehand drive. It is inherently weak for the backhand, as the only natural shot is a chop stroke.</p>
<p>To acquire the forehand grip, hold the racquet with the edge of the frame towards the ground and the face perpendicular, the handle towards the body, and &#8220;shake hands&#8221; with it, just as if you were greeting a friend. The handle settled comfortably and naturally into the hand, the line of the arm, hand, and racquet are one. The swing brings the racquet head on a line with the arm, and the whole racquet is merely an extension of it.</p>
<p>The backhand grip is a quarter circle turn of hand on the handle, bringing the hand on top of the handle and the knuckles directly up. The shot travels ACROSS the wrist.</p>
<p>This is the best basis for a grip. I do not advocate learning this grip exactly, but model your natural grip as closely as possible on these lines without sacrificing your own comfort or individuality.</p>
<p>Having once settled the racquet in the hand, the next question is the position of the body and the order of developing strokes.</p>
<p>All tennis strokes, should be made with the body&#8217; at right angles to the net, with the shoulders lined up parallel to the line of flight of the ball. The weight should always travel forward. It should pass from the back foot to the front foot at the moment of striking the ball. Never allow the weight to be going away from the stroke. It is weight that determines the &#8220;pace&#8221; of a stroke; swing that, decides the &#8220;speed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Let me explain the definitions of &#8220;speed&#8221; and &#8220;pace.&#8221; &#8220;Speed&#8221; is the actual rate with which a ball travels through the air. &#8220;Pace&#8221; is the momentum with which it comes off the ground. Pace is weight. It is the &#8220;sting&#8221; the ball carries when it comes off the ground, giving the inexperienced or unsuspecting player a shock of force which the stroke in no way showed.</p>
<p>A great many players have both &#8220;speed&#8221; and &#8220;pace.&#8221; Some shots may carry both.</p>
<p>The order of learning strokes should be:</p>
<p>1. The Drive. Fore and backhand. This is the foundation of all tennis, for you cannot build up a net attack unless you have the ground stroke to open the way. Nor can you meet a net attack successfully unless you can drive, as that is the only successful passing shot.</p>
<p>2. The Service.</p>
<p>3. The Volley and Overhead Smash.</p>
<p>4. The Chop or Half Volley and other incidental and ornamental strokes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tennis psychology is nothing more than understanding the workings of your opponent&#8217;s mind, and gauging the effect of your own game on his mental viewpoint, and understanding the mental effects resulting from the various external causes on your own mind. You cannot be a successful psychologist of others without first understanding your own mental processes, you must study the effect on yourself of the same happening under different circumstances. You react differently in different moods and under different conditions. You must realize the effect on your game of the resulting irritation, pleasure, confusion, or whatever form your reaction takes. Does it increase your efficiency? If so, strive for it, but never give it to your opponent.</p>
<p>Does it deprive you of concentration? If so, either remove the cause, or if that is not possible strive to ignore it.</p>
<p>Once you have judged accurately your own reaction to conditions, study your opponents, to decide their temperaments. Like temperaments react similarly, and you may judge men of your own type by yourself. Opposite temperaments you must seek to compare with people whose reactions you know.</p>
<p>A person who can control his own mental processes stands an excellent chance of reading those of another, for the human mind works along definite lines of thought, and can be studied. One can only control one&#8217;s, mental processes after carefully studying them.</p>
<p>A steady phlegmatic baseline player is seldom a keen thinker. If he was he would not adhere to the baseline.</p>
<p>The physical appearance of a man is usually a pretty clear index to his type of mind. The stolid, easy-going man, who usually advocates the baseline game, does so because he hates to stir up his torpid mind to think out a safe method of reaching the net. There is the other type of baseline player, who prefers to remain on the back of the court while directing an attack intended to break up your game. He is a very dangerous player, and a deep, keen thinking antagonist. He achieves his results by mixing up his length and direction, and worrying you with the variety of his game. He is a good psychologist. The first type of player mentioned merely hits the ball with little idea of what he is doing, while the latter always has a definite plan and adheres to it. The hard-hitting, erratic, net-rushing player is a creature of impulse. There is no real system to his attack, no understanding of your game. He will make brilliant coups on the spur of the moment, largely by instinct; but there is no, mental power of consistent thinking. It is an interesting, fascinating type.</p>
<p>The dangerous man is the player who mixes his style from back to fore court at the direction of an ever-alert mind. This is the man to study and learn from. He is a player with a definite purpose. A player who has an answer to every query you propound him in your game. He is the most subtle antagonist in the world. He is of the school of Brookes. Second only to him is the man of dogged determination that sets his mind on one plan and adheres to it, bitterly, fiercely fighting to the end, with never a thought of change. He is the man whose psychology is easy to understand, but whose mental viewpoint is hard to upset, for he never allows himself to think of anything except the business at hand. This man is your Johnston or your Wilding. I respect the mental capacity of Brookes more, but I admire the tenacity of purpose of Johnston.</p>
<p>Pick out your type from your own mental processes, and then work out your game along the lines best suited to you.</p>
<p>When two men are, in the same class, as regards stroke equipment, the determining factor in any given match is the mental viewpoint. Luck, so-called, is often grasping the psychological value of a break in the game, and turning it to your own account.</p>
<p>We hear a great deal about the &#8220;shots we have made.&#8221; Few realize the importance of the &#8220;shots we have missed.&#8221; The science of missing shots is as important as that of making them, and at times a miss by an inch is of more value than a, return that is killed by your opponent.</p>
<p>Let me explain. A player drives you far out of court with an angle-shot. You run hard to it, and reaching, drive it hard and fast down the side-line, missing it by an inch. Your opponent is surprised and shaken, realizing that your shot might as well have gone in as out. He will expect you to try it again, and will not take the risk next time. He will try to play the ball, and may fall into error. You have thus taken some of your opponent&#8217;s confidence, and increased his chance of error, all by a miss.</p>
<p>If you had merely popped back that return, and it had been killed, your opponent would have felt increasingly confident of your inability to get the ball out of his reach, while you would merely have been winded without result.</p>
<p>Let us suppose you made the shot down the sideline. It was a seemingly impossible get. First it amounts to TWO points in that it took one away from your opponent that should have been his and gave you one you ought never to have had. It also worries your opponent, as he feels he has thrown away a big chance.</p>
<p>The psychology of a tennis match is very interesting, but easily understandable. Both men start with equal chances. Once one man establishes a real lead, his confidence goes up, while his opponent worries, and his mental viewpoint becomes poor. The sole object of the first man is to hold his lead, thus holding his confidence. If the second player pulls even or draws ahead, the inevitable reaction occurs with even a greater contrast in psychology. There is the natural confidence of the leader now with the second man as well as that great stimulus of having turned seeming defeat into probable victory. The reverse in the case of the first player is apt to hopelessly destroy his game, and collapse follows.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Tennis, a chop stroke is a shot where the angle towards the player and behind the racquet, made by the line of flight of the ball, and the racquet travelling down across it, is greater than 45 degrees and may be 90 degrees. The racquet face passes slightly outside the ball and down the side, chopping it, as a man chops wood. The spin and curve is from right to left. It is made with a stiff wrist.</p>
<p>The slice shot merely reduced the angle mentioned from 45 degrees down to a very small one. The racquet face passes either inside or outside the ball, according to direction desired, while the stroke is mainly a wrist twist or slap. This slap imparts a decided skidding break to the ball, while a chop &#8220;drags&#8221; the ball off the ground without break.</p>
<p>The rules of footwork for both these shots should be the same as the drive, but because both are made with a short swing and more wrist play, without the need of weight, the rules of footwork may be more safely discarded and body position not so carefully considered.</p>
<p>Both these shots are essentially defensive, and are labour-saving devices when your opponent is on the baseline. A chop or slice is very hard to drive, and will break up any driving game.</p>
<p>It is not a shot to use against a volley, as it is too slow to pass and too high to cause any worry. It should be used to drop short, soft shots at the feet of the net man as he comes in. Do not strive to pass a net man with a chop or slice, except through a big opening.</p>
<p>The drop-shot is a very soft, sharply-angled chop stroke, played wholly with the wrist. It should drop within 3 to 5 feet of the net to be of any use. The racquet face passes around the outside of the ball and under it with a distinct &#8220;wrist turn.&#8221; Do not swing the racquet from the shoulder in making a drop shot. The drop shot has no relation to a stop-volley. The drop shot is all wrist. The stop-volley has no wrist at all.</p>
<p>Use all your wrist shots, chop, slice, and drop, merely as an auxilliary to your orthodox game. They are intended to upset your opponent&#8217;s game through the varied spin on the ball.</p>
<p>The half volley.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>This shot requires more perfect timing, eyesight, and racquet work than any other, since its margin of safety is smallest and its manifold chances of mishaps numberless.</p>
<p>It is a pick-up. The ball meets the ground and racquet face at nearly the same moment, the ball bouncing off the ground, on the strings. This shot is a stiff-wrist, short swing, like a volley with no follow through. The racquet face travels along the ground with a slight tilt over the ball and towards the net, thus holding the ball low; the shot, like all others in tennis, should travel across the racquet face, along the short strings. The racquet face should always be slightly outside the ball.</p>
<p>The half volley is essentially a defensive stroke, since it should only be made as a last resort, when caught out of position by your opponent&#8217;s shot. It is a desperate attempt to extricate yourself from a dangerous position without retreating. never deliberately half volley.</p>
<p>Court position.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>A tennis court is 39 feet long from baseline to net. There are only two places in a tennis court that a tennis player should be to await the ball.</p>
<p>1. About 3 feet behind the baseline near the middle of the court, or</p>
<p>2. About 6 to 8 feet back from the net and almost opposite the ball.</p>
<p>The first is the place for all baseline players. The second is the net position.</p>
<p>If you are drawn out of these positions by a shot which you must return, do not remain at the point where you struck the ball, but attain one of the two positions mentioned as rapidly as possible.</p>
<p>The distance from the baseline to about 10, feet from the net may be considered as &#8220;no-man&#8217;s-land&#8221; or &#8220;the blank.&#8221; Never linger there, since a deep shot will catch you at your feet. After making your shot from the blank, as you must often do, retreat behind the baseline to await the return, so you may again come forward to meet the ball. If you are drawn in short and cannot retreat safely, continue all the way to the net position.</p>
<p>Never stand and watch your shot, for to do so simply means you are out of position for your next stroke. Strive to attain a position so that you always arrive at the spot the ball is going to before it actually arrives. Do your hard running while the ball is in the air, so you will not be hurried in your stroke after it bounces.</p>
<p>It is in learning to do this that natural anticipation plays a big role. Some players instinctively know where the next return is going and take position accordingly, while others will never sense it. It is to the latter class that I urge court position, and recommend always coming in from behind the baseline to meet the ball, since it is much easier to run forward than back.</p>
<p>Should you be caught at the net, with a short shot to your opponent, do not stand still and let him pass you at will, as he can easily do. Pick out the side where you think he will hit, and jump to, it suddenly as he swings. If you guess right, you win the point. If you are wrong, you are no worse off, since he would have beaten you anyway with his shot.</p>
<p>Your position should always strive to be such that you can cover the greatest possible area of court without sacrificing safety, since the straight shot is the surest, most dangerous, and must be covered. It is merely a question of how much more court than that immediately in front of the ball may be guarded.</p>
<p>A well-grounded knowledge of court position saves many points, to say nothing of much breath expended in long runs after hopeless shots.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bet on a horse racing without leaving your seat. Gone are the days when you have to drive long hours and wait in line for tickets on horse racing events. Now, with the advent of the internet, you can bet and even watch horse races right at your very home.</p>
<p>Not living near a race track is no more a problem these days. While live viewing is much better and is sure to raise your adrenaline, you still can&#8217;t risk of having missed a horse race betting. Besides, you are no longer limited with the local horse racing events. Your chances of enjoying the whole stuff is increased dramatically since you can bet and monitor your winnings even if the race is happening in the other side of the globe.</p>
<p>Beware though, like in all other industries and businesses online horse racing and betting do have their shares of scams and deceptions. Central to this is to know the well-established registered, legal and well-recognized betting online stations to secure both your money and your winnings.</p>
<p>The best thing to do is to go for credible web sites that have been established and have been well-regarded in the horse racing world. You don&#8217;t only get the protection from fraud, you would also be provided with fairly straightforward and transparent transactions.</p>
<p>The basic thing that you would have to do is to register your name on a specific web site that holds online horse racing bets. Typically, some websites would require monthly subscription payments that are subjected to various agreements. Be sure to be very aware of the terms and conditions before approving on them.</p>
<p>Normally, these monthly payments are waived from your payment if you exceed in value with your winnings. But remember, this still depends on how the website handles its regulations.</p>
<p>Once you are registered on your chosen site, the next thing you would do is to make a deposit. Your losses and your winnings will be debited or credited on your existing account.</p>
<p>Because the only difference with online and off line betting is that you are working through internet, you are still subjected to pretty much similar betting rules and types, race conditions, with some tinges of differences depending on how the website carries its issues.</p>
<p>With too little delay, you can track and update your odds instantly. Some websites even allow the tracking of live events through text messaging.</p>
<p>Online horse racing has three drawbacks though.</p>
<p>First, for serious handicappers a tiny monitor would not give as much excitement as with the live racing track. Nevertheless, if there&#8217;s no more choice left then maybe you can bear with this inconvenience.</p>
<p>Second, like most things using internet, you are largely dependent on your hardware and software. Some horse racing online sites for example work well using Firefox but not with Internet Explorer. But as far as pc users are concerned, this issue can be easily arranged.</p>
<p>Lastly, some people just don’t enjoy things when they&#8217;re not on the exact and real condition. Online horse racing for some is a bit unsatisfying as this detaches the handicapper from the real game.</p>
<p>Being an actual part of the live race, handling the money personally and hearing the shouts and yells of everyone in the track, and seeing the graceful but swift movements of horses can add real thrill on the game.</p>
