The &#8220;tweener&#8221; \u2014 hitting the ball between your legs while running away from the net \u2014 is the undisputed king of tennis trick shots.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"2\">While it is undeniably an advanced shot to pull off in a live match, practicing it with your ball machine is a fantastic way to improve your ball-tracking skills, spatial awareness, and timing. Plus, it is just incredibly fun.<\/p><div class=\"attachment-container search-images\">\u00a0<\/div><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5 data-path-to-node=\"5\">Setting Up Your Machine Safely<\/h5><p data-path-to-node=\"6\">The biggest mistake players make when trying to learn the tweener is having someone hit live lobs to them. The feeds are too inconsistent, which leads to frantic running, awkward swings, and sometimes, taking a racket frame to the shin.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Your ball machine removes the chaos. Here is how to set it up:<\/p><ol start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Placement:<\/b> Position the machine on the center mark of the opposite baseline.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Speed &amp; Spin:<\/b> Set the speed to low-medium and add a slight amount of topspin. You do not want a rocket; you want a controlled, looping ball.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Elevation:<\/b> Crank the elevation up high to simulate an offensive lob.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Target:<\/b> Aim the feed so the ball lands just inside your baseline and bounces up high toward the back fence.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><p data-path-to-node=\"9\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Safety Check:<\/b> Before you even swing a racket, let the machine fire 5-10 balls. Practice simply running back and catching the ball after it bounces to ensure the trajectory is predictable and gives you enough room before the fence.<\/p><h5 data-path-to-node=\"11\">Executing the Shot<\/h5><p data-path-to-node=\"12\">Hitting a tweener is entirely about timing and spacing. If you rush the swing, it will not work. Follow this sequence exactly:<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"13\">\u00a0<\/p><div class=\"attachment-container unknown\"><div class=\"sequence-container\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQse0SahgKEwjOs-XNtJ-VAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQmwE\"><div class=\"sequence-event ng-star-inserted\"><div class=\"sequence-event-content\"><div class=\"sequence-event-description gds-body-l\"><span class=\"only-show-to-message-actions\" data-test-id=\"sequence-export-header\"><strong>1.The Grip\uff1a<\/strong>Continental is mandatory\u3002<\/span><p class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Before you even start running, shift your hand into a Continental grip (the same grip you use for serves and volleys). If you try to hit this with a standard forehand grip, the racket face will be closed, and you will hit the ball straight into the ground.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sequence-event ng-star-inserted\"><div class=\"sequence-event-content\"><div class=\"sequence-event-description gds-body-l\"><span class=\"only-show-to-message-actions\" data-test-id=\"sequence-export-header\"><strong>2.The Chase\uff1a<\/strong>Track it over your shoulder\u3002<\/span><p class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Turn and sprint toward the back fence. Do not backpedal. Keep your eyes locked on the ball over your shoulder as you run.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sequence-event ng-star-inserted\"><div class=\"sequence-event-content\"><div class=\"sequence-event-description gds-body-l\"><span class=\"only-show-to-message-actions\" data-test-id=\"sequence-export-header\"><strong>3.The Spacing\uff1a<\/strong>Overrun the ball slightly\u3002<\/span><p class=\"ng-star-inserted\">This is the hardest part to master. You actually want to run <i>past<\/i> where the ball is going to land. The ball needs to be slightly behind your body when you make contact, not in front of you.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sequence-event ng-star-inserted\"><div class=\"sequence-event-content\"><div class=\"sequence-event-description gds-body-l\"><span class=\"only-show-to-message-actions\" data-test-id=\"sequence-export-header\"><strong>4.The Drop\uff1a<\/strong>Patience is key\u3002<\/span><p class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Do not jump early. Let the ball drop much lower than you think it needs to \u2014 ideally, wait until it is below your knees.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sequence-event ng-star-inserted\"><div class=\"sequence-event-content\"><div class=\"sequence-event-description gds-body-l\"><span class=\"only-show-to-message-actions\" data-test-id=\"sequence-export-header\"><strong>5.The Flick\uff1a<\/strong>All in the wrist\u3002<\/span><p class=\"ng-star-inserted\">As the ball drops below knee level, kick your back leg up slightly to create space. Swing the racket down and through your legs, snapping your wrist upward exactly as you make contact to pop the ball over the net. Keep your swing compact to avoid hitting yourself on the follow-through!<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><p>\u00a0<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"14\">Do not get frustrated if you hit the net (or your own shoes) on the first 20 attempts. It takes time to map the spatial awareness required to swing backward while moving forward. Keep the machine feeds slow, focus on letting the ball drop low, and have fun with it!<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"15\">\u00a0<\/p><div class=\"attachment-container unknown\">\u00a0<\/div><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Practicing the &#8220;Tweener&#8221;: The Ultimate Trick Shot Now that you have a few years of court time under your belt and are comfortably holding your own in solid intermediate rallies, it is completely natural to want to add a little flashy flair to your game.
