USPTA Exam. ANALYZING STROKES &STROKE PRODUCTION
A challenging task - answerA. Inexperienced teachers often confuse symptoms with
causes.
B. The execution of a shot involves the proper coordinated combination of the kinetic
chain. The kinetic chain is a coordinated action of the segments of the body (legs, trunk,
shoulders, arm, hand/
wrist, hips), starting with the ground reaction force to the feet on the ground and ending
with the acceleration of the racquet through the ball.
Look for the primary cause of problems - answerA. Start from the beginning of shot
preparation.
B. Examine how students get themselves and racquets ready. Preparation is critical;
good professionals watch the player, not the ball.
Interdependence - answerOne problem can cause another. Learn clues. For example,
student has weight on rear foot, and shoulders are tipped back. The problem isn't
balance; it's the late preparation.
Cure - answerA. Show them what should be done: have them "shadow" the shot.
B. Develop cue words.
C. Use analogies (compare bending the knees with another activity the student is
familiar with, i.e.,
skating, skiing, sliding).
D. Be sure to use all communication skills including verbal, visual, kinesthetic and use
of imagery.
E. Use drills that assist in the correction(s) you make.
Concentrate on one thing at a time - answerA) Don't overteach
B) Pick primary problem and ignore the others until it is corrected
C) Repetition promotes muscle memory
Watch the hand and racquet - answerRacquet refers to how they handle the racquet.
The hand is an extension of the racquet
