I am very interested now in Tennis.  Is there anybody who can provide me some tips or videos for learning?

Please see the sources below for some helpful videos.\nAs for tips, to learn tennis you need good instruction, especially on the appropriate grips, and a place to play where you can practice and get games with a variety of other players. Usually a tennis club is the best setting, but most cities have parks where tennis is played and where instruction is provided.

yeah, I think there is one for Xbox called topspin.  I have played it before and found it to be pretty fun.  You get to pick which grand slam to play in and what pro tennis player.  But playing real tennis is much funner.

Personally, I'd prefer an instructor who could sensibly explain anything he is asking you to do, but sometimes that isn't always the case.\nSometimes the teacher's suggestion really is not sensible, but it could still work. For example, some tell you to "peel an onion" to hit a slice serve. This really doesn't make technical sense, but it may get you to move your racket head across the ball, which is required for a slice serve.\nOr he may suggest that you need to jump to hit a serve, which again is not really correct. Your momentum carries you off the ground as you hit, but you don't jump and then hit. However, it could help to think about jumping if you hadn't been using your legs.\nI also realized a long time ago that, in terms of strategy, an "incorrect" plan may be better than no plan at all. I.e., doing the wrong thing well can cause you to focus confidently on that strategy, causing you to do better than if you remained confused.\nThat's the best I can do. Good question.

Your parents are right when they're against (I guess for economic reason) since tennis is really expensive; further to learn tennis you need better to get private lessons (and this will cost you a fortune) otherwise it will take you really a longtime to start amusing (and also this will cost a lot to hire courts,rackets,buy balls,etc.etc,).- If you think it's possible to learn tennis thru some website forget it. Tennis is a very technical sport and even playing with a friend who plays tennis will not help you at all since teaching is really difficult and must be done in a professional way to get some result.

Yes!! I love to play tennis.  I have even started my own team at school becuase we didn't previously have one.  With a little more practice I believe we will be ready to compete and I am seriously considering joining a community team for the coming year.  So while I don't currently compete I hope to in the future.

Yes, it is something that you can learn to play and enjoy regardless of your natural coordination. Your speed of learning will depend on your natural ability and the instructor's ability to teach, along with the time you spend in quality practice and play. There are methods available today that really speed up the process. You also can learn by consulting internet sites that display and describe every stroke in tennis.

Without having seen you play, it's a bit hard to suggest. Obviously you'll want to play to your strengths. Also, try a variety of shots in warm-up to see how he responds. I usually hit very heavy topspin...but if my opponent can't handle low slices as well then I'll hit those all day. \n\nA few things to check:\n\n1. Footwork. This is the first thing I ever watch. I'm sorry, you can hit like a cannon but I'm gonna pound winners on you all day if your feet are cemented down. If he doesn't move (and some people will disagree with me on this) then I suggest a few deep topsin balls and then a dropshot if you can do it. Basically, make him run!!! And on that note, make sure you are moving. Solid footwork can save you when you're tired. The more tired you are, the better your footwork has to be!!!\n\n2. Stroke. Of course you'll want to check which side is weaker for them.\n\n2.Serve. You'll want to decide how far back or forward to stand. If has has a very fast serve and you need time, then move back. If it's somewhat slow or has a huge kick, catch the ball early. But you always want to be moving into it on the return.\n\n2. Rally ability. Obviously if he can't hit more then 2 balls back in a row, you don't need to do anything fancy. You should figure this out early.\n\n3. Spin. Figure out how he hits!!! If he slices alot does the ball sit up? Does it skid low? What about topspin? Does he use alot or hit flat? \n\n4. Volley ability. How is he at net? If he's bad, purposely hit some short balls if you can to draw him up. I love playing people who are horrible at net.  A drop volley up close, then an easy topspin ball at their feet.\n\n\nAlso remember to go crosscourt when you can. I'm a big believer in changing the direction of the ball, but sometimes you just can't beat good low error tennis across the middle.\n\nI kinda wrote this in a rush if anyone has any additions or feels I said something wrong, I really won't be offended. Always fun to hear different viewpoints.\n\nHope this helps!

I am clapping my hands!IIt is so fun to play AND watch! I prefer watching women's tennis to men's because after 2 hours or so, it gets tedious. My favorite women's player is Martina Hingis and men's is Roger Federer. I don't play at a club, but I am starting next month with lessons. (I still play for fun though)

From a personal level i would suggest a heavier racket overall. It will give you the power that new players seem to always want yet you wont kill you arm getting it. Instead you can focus more on placement.  With a lighter racket you need a faster, not necessarily stronger, swing. The absolute best thing to do would be to go to a tennis shop and try out the demos. It is the only way to try it. That is how i found my racket (babolat pure drive).\nDont listen to Lady, do not just pick a brand if you have any intention of continuing tennis past strictly recreational.

You definitely can improve, obviously you are not just trying to learn basics skills, you already know that, what you need to do now is give tennis all your time, concentration and discipline.\nYour little brother beats you because he has been spending more time with it, as you keep on practicing, you will improve. Discipline yourself, set goal for yourself. I am sure its only a matter of time, you wil beat even your dad.

Go to a large sporting goods store, one that has a good selection of racquets and someone knowlegeable about tennis working there. A tennis pro shop (usually in tennis centers) is also a good place to go. You DO NOT have to purchase your racquet there, but you will have the advantage of having someone who is very used to helping players choose a racquet to help you and to make sure you get one that 'fits'. Basically, the grip should be comfortable. The right size is one that your hand wraps around almost completely.

I am not trying to be a wise apple by saying there must be a ton of them out there, but honestly there are a ton of books written on any area you may need help with, from drills, to how to make a stroke.  Tennis will not be on television until January the season is pretty much over til then, but you can gain a tremendous amount in watching.  Go to your local Borders and have a look in the tennis section I bet you find what you are looking for.  I am sure you will get some posts that will be more helpful then this on where to look on the web.  If you do not just google it as I am sure you have exp. forehand/drills
