Understand the game better

Overview

In this demo, we want to show you that the answers to most of your questions can be found inside the following categories:

  • Analysis
  • Technique
  • Tactics and Mental
  • Solving Problems

Each category provides detailed explanations of a large number of the game’s technical and tactical elements. Visiting these TennisGate categories is the perfect way to help you understand the game better.

Here is how to do it.

For this example, we will assume that your playing level is Level 2 in TennisGate’s level system, and that you want to learn more about the forehand.

Step 1

Check out our Analysis section

Click on “Analysis” in our menu

Step 2

Get more specific

New filtering options are now available to help refine your search. For instance, you can narrow down your selection by entering “Forehand” under Strokes. Combine this with the key technical element “Topspin,” and you’ll see all content related to topspin forehands.

To better understand the expert filter system, try combining “Forehand” with “Backspin.” This will display tips focused on volleys or slices, providing targeted guidance for those specific shots.

And if you are looking for a specific swing phase, you can set another filter under “Key Technical Elements”. Let’s use “Forward Swing” for our example.

As a result you will find several videos related to the forehand forward swing. Click on them.  Each will help you understand this aspect of the game better.

Step 3

Check out Technique

Find instructional tips in the Technique section

Solid technique is essential in tennis. This section will help you understand the key technical aspects of every stroke and will help you clarify any doubts you may have.

Following the previous example, we will use the following filters:

  1. Level 2 (in Playing Level)
  2. Forehand (in Strokes)
  3. Topspin (Key Elements)

You can always further refine the search with additional filters.

Step 4

Check out Tactics and Mental

Find instructional tips in the Tactics and Mental category

In this section you will find all important tactical concepts for singles and doubles and the mental skills necessary to perform at your best.

If we follow the earlier pattern, we are looking for situations where the forehand plays an important role. 

Therefore, we will set our filters as follows:

  1. Level 2 (in Playing Level)
  2. Singles Tactics (in Topic)
  3. Baseline Situation (in Situation)
  4. Groundstrokes  (in Strokes)

All resulting videos will help you understand  the tactical concepts of the game much better.

Step 5

Go even more in depth

To access more in depth information on a given topic take a look at the “Solving Problems” category.

For this example set the following filters:

  1. Level 2 (in Playing Level)
  2. Forehand (in Strokes)

Select posts from the suggestions. Here we take our forehand topic “How to Hit a Forehand in Tennis: Grip, Technique, & Drills”.

Here we break down the forehand groundstroke into everything you need to know. With video, images, and text, we cover the proper grip, technique, and drills to practice.

Step 6

Save your videos in a collection

It always makes sense to store the most helpful articles and videos in collections, which are best named appropriately. For this example we are  showing you how to set a collection named: “Understanding the Game, My Forehand Collection”.
