Use it to water house plants.

TENNIS TIPS

By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Polo Tennis and Fitness Club

How to execute The One-Handed High Backhand Volley Approach Shot In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to hit a forehand groundstroke, a two-handed backhand, one-handed backhand, forehand volley, the two-handed backhand volley, the serve, the forehand half-volley, the one-handed backhand volley, the overhead “smash”, the forehand service return, the backhand service return, the forehand high volley approach shot, and the two-handed high volley approach shot. In this issue, I will offer you instructions on how to execute the one-handed backhand high approach shot. This shot is used when a player is caught in "no-person's land" (around the service line area) and receives a high ball to volley. The important part of this shot is to be able to hit a deep volley at the feet of the opponents and/or to hit a deep volley close to the baseline, so the opponent is put into a defensive mode. This will cause the player to hit a softer ball so the player can now move closer to the net for the "killer or placement volley". In the illustrations, Sondra Thornton, a player at the Polo Tennis and Fitness Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. Step 1: The Ready Position and Split Step: When Sondra realizes that she is caught in "no-person's land", she takes the split step by bending of the knees and staying on her toes. Her racket is in the volley position and her feet are angled toward the path of the incoming ball. Notice that the left hand is on the throat of the racket. Step 2: The Back Swing: Once Sondra realizes that the ball has been directed to her backhand, she will turn her upper body and will take

the racket slightly back. Notice that the left hand is still on the throat of the racket. She has loaded her weight onto her left foot and will be ready to step forward to meet the ball. She will make a slight change toward the continental grip on the right hand. Step 3: The Point of Contact: Sondra is now ready to step into the ball. She has kept her eye on the ball and her center of gravity now is shifted toward the point of contact. Notice the right toe pointing to the ball meeting the racket. The face of the racket is open to allow her to hit behind the ball and allow maximum net height and allow her to hit the ball deep. The control of the ball will be made with the right hand, which is holding the racket tighter. The right hand will keep the face of the racket at a 45-degree angle at the point of contact. Step 4: The Follow Through: Once Sondra has contacted the ball, she finishes the follow through with her right wrist laid back and leading the stroke with her right knuckles. Her left arm is pulling back for better body balance and her eyes are still watching the racket where she contacted the ball. Step 5: The Move for the Kill Volley: As the ball is headed toward the opponent and Sondra realizes that her shot is deep, she now moves closer to the net for the put away volley. If her shot was not deep, Sondra will decide to stay close to the service line to protect the lob over her head. By the look in her eyes and her smile, she just did a "kill volley".

Butterscotch Cake Ingredients

This monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe is excellent. The editor is not much of a fan of cakes, but this one is an exception. It is from Louisville, Mississippi, probably from the Murphy Creek Baptist Church Cook Book. Kathy Davis is the person supplying the recipe.

1 box yellow Cake mix 1 (3 oz.) box instant vanilla pudding 1 (12 oz.) pkg. butterscotch chips 1 c. nuts (pecans or walnuts) coarsely chopped 1 c. flaked coconut 4 eggs 1 c. sour cream 2/3 c. oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 F. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, chips, nuts, and coconut. Stir in eggs, sour cream and oil. Mix well by hand. Bake in a Bundt pan, greased well and floured, for 1 hour or until done. Cool 5 minutes before turning out of pan.
