One of the most elusive skills in tennis is timing. During a point, a tennis ball is in constant motion. However, the rate at which it rises and falls remains constant. In fact, so do our bodies; we all rise and fall at the rate of gravity

The secret to timing lies in aligning our dynamic movements (our split step, strides, etc.) with the ball's bounce. We use counting: "1" is our opponent's contact and our split step. "2" is the first bounce of the ball, and "3" is the second bounce. We subdivide the count with "and" at each moment of the ball's peak. We further subdivide with "e" and "uh" to mark the moment's just before and after bouncing.

The full count: "1 - e - and - uh - 2 - e - and - uh - 3."

For a typical opponent's groundstroke, struck from the baseline and landing medium pace near the service line:
"1" - [Opponent Contact]
"1e" - NA
"1and" - High Volley
"1uh" - Low Volley
"2e" - Rising Groundstroke/Half-Volley
"2and" - High Approach Shot
"2uh" - Low Groundstroke
"3" - NA

We can generally decide upon where we should play the ball in between half and 1 count. The amount of time it takes for us to swing varies between a half a count and 1. In learning to count, and allowing our movements to synchronize rhythmically with the count, we significantly reduce the amount of momentum- and timing- killing sudden stops and starts.

Gravity Tennis is a new approach to tennis. Unlike other methods, we focus on how you can best utilize the momentum you naturally generate when you move.
