Episode of Series “On Tennis”.
Billie Jean King, Vic Braden and Erik Van Dellen start with the simple ‘flat’ serve, then move on to demonstrate the ‘slice’ and the ‘twist’, with detailed coverage of such basics as stance and grip, step and weight transfer, co-ordinating the toss with the swing, and proper follow-through.
