Hey hey, this is Shaun with the GoTennis Podcast powered by Signature Tennis.

Speaker:

Today's tennis tip comes from Ben Hestley of Bull Shark Sports.

Speaker:

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Speaker:

This is Ben Hestley from Bull Shark Sports.

Speaker:

Today's tip is on how to handle that winter weather that's making its way to Atlanta.

Speaker:

In the colder months, the ball typically doesn't travel as far nor bounces high as it does

Speaker:

when it's warmer outside.

Speaker:

So you're going to have to adjust your positioning out there.

Speaker:

Think about moving more inside the court, inside the baseline, and expect the ball not

Speaker:

to bounce very high.

Speaker:

Bollies are good anytime, but especially in the winter because the ball is not going to

Speaker:

bounce very high.

Speaker:

Move inside the court and play that ball before it bounces.

Speaker:

And you'll have a lot more success handling the winter weather, the cold temperatures,

Speaker:

and those low freezing bounces that you're likely to get.

Speaker:

Hope that helps and have fun out there this winter.

Speaker:

Move yourself more inside the court and get ready for those balls that bounce low.

Speaker:

Well, there you have it.
