Continental Grip
Continental Grip
Use this for Volleys, Overheads and Serves!
Continental Grip
We like to call it the "Chopper Grip", like how you hold the knife in the kitchen when you're chopping carrots!
Use this grip for Volleys, Overheads and Serves!
On Volleys you don't have time to switch grips at the net and still have quick hands and be an effective volleyer, this grip stays the same for both forehand and backhand volleys, and also allows you to have a very effective volley on low balls. On top of this there are many negative aspects to having any other grip at the net, including potential injury!
Over heads and serves: Use this grip for many reasons!! It allows you to rotate your wrist and pronate your forearm effectively, it reduces the chance of forearm and wrist injuries and... it's how you get a killer slice!
This grip can be tough to adjust to if you're not used to to, but its really really worth putting the time in to get the hang of it!

How To: Beat The Heat!
Preparing for any kind of physical activity requires good nutrition and hydration at the best of times, but when the heat turns up it's even more important to fuel your body correctly. The last thing you want is to experience heat related problems, it could be as mild as nausea, and headaches or as bad as vomiting and cramps. Extreme dehydration can even land you in the hospital on a drip while you recover!
Do's and Don'ts of your Tennis Practice day!
DO: Have a well balanced meal prior to your Tennis. Waffles or cereal or pop tarts are NOT a good breakfast! If you don't have time for a proper meal, make a smoothie with BANANAS! They are full of goodies to help fuel your body and prevent cramps, throw some protein in your shake, in the powder form, or a little bit of Kale, that stuff is magical and will help speed up your recovery post Tennis too.
DO: Drink lots of water from the moment you wake up, and keep sipping' through the day. The moment you notice you are thirsty you are already dehydrated, the key is to prevent thirst from kicking and to remain as hydrated as possible. Dehydration headaches are only one of the horrible symptoms of not drinking enough WATER!
DON'T: Consume sports recovery drinks in place of water. These products are for the most part either full of Sugar, or Chemical Sugar replacements. They have their place on the Tennis court, but for every sip of one of these drinks take two sips of water, and keep an eye on the labels to avoid high sugar or (in the diet ones) strange chemicals replacing the sugar. If you really want to drink these I highly recommend Kill Cliff, it's full of Vitamins, Ginger, Green Tea, Enzymes, and general goodies to help you through the day, and no strange sweeteners or sugars!
DON"T: Sit inside in the air conditioning all day. Get outside in the shade at least 30 minutes before you start playing and let your body get accustomed to the heat slowly.

Margot of Spherical Yellow is Teaming up with Wristpect Sport!
Ever wondered
where those cool wristbands come from? Well Margot has been rocking them unofficially for a couple of years now... this company is way more than just a wrist band company, these folks are passionate about Tennis and sharing the love of the sport, so it's an absolute honor to be officially representing them!
Press release shown below from WristpectSport.com
A tennis players journey is personal and varies individualistically from person to person but we find it interesting how tennis players journey's (plural) merge and meld into one story within this great sport!
Our tennis journey collided with Margot Carter's via social media (Instagram to be exact). Next thing we knew we were on the phone speaking to this wildly creative soul --complete with Brit accent --about her company (and app), Spherical Yellow!
The synergy between not only our mutual love of tennis but also our collective desire to bring the tennis community positivity through ideas, coaching and products, was undeniable! It was easy to make this collegiate and pro level tennis player a sponsored Wristpect Sport athlete!
Loving tennis and sports in her home in Winchester, England, Margot ended up in the states after being awarded a full tennis scholarship to Tennessee Tech University where she also completed her Bachelors of Science in Environmental Biology. Tennis didn't stop after college and it hasn't stopped to this day...
