Tennis clothing: traditional colors, mainly white.

Short sleeves and shorts for men, short sleeves, sleeveless, shorts or skirts (collared tops) for women.

Comfortable and lightweight clothing that can stretch and absorb sweat is preferred.

Shoes: Choose flat shoes without spikes or particles that will not damage the surface of the field.

Socks need to be thick socks that stretch and absorb sweat easily.

Racket: Choose according to the strength of each person's arm, grip, and wrist strength.

Beginners, to make the racket swing smoothly, should learn to use a lighter racket.

The size of the grip should match the size of your hand.

The way to grip a racket.

1. Eastern grip: Also known as the "handshake" grip.

Advantage: It is the best way to hit the ball for bouncing, especially for balls that bounce to waist height.

Disadvantages: When hitting the ball with the backhand, the grip position must be moved and the grip position needs to be exchanged at the moment of hitting the ball.

2. European Grip: Ideal for low bounce and low-cut shots.

It is extremely convenient for handling interceptions and serves.

But this grip must have strong wrist strength, otherwise, it will be counterproductive.

3. Western grip: Ideal for strong topspin on the forehand, but very inconvenient for backhand shots.

Because the backhand is not easy to hit the ball, players are generally not happy to use this grip.

The action of the spinning ball.

1. Topspin

Pump up from below the ball, push forward from low to high, produce a topspin ball, speed up the ball, rotate quickly in the direction of movement, fall quickly in the air, not easy to get out of bounds, and rebound high and fast after landing, will make it difficult for the opponent to return.

This type of play requires wrist strength, arm strength, and waist strength.

2. Downward spin

The opposite of the forward spin cuts down from the top of the ball and moves forward from high to low.

3. Chop shot

A style of play that makes the racket vertical, swings from top to bottom, and hits the ball diagonally down or inside the square to make the ball fall.

Usually, this style of play is used as a tactic for hanging short balls.

4. Flat shot

Pushing forward horizontally is a fast way to get the ball out, which is difficult to control and the ball can easily go out of bounds.
