What equipment are used to practice hitting and serving in tennis?

Have you ever wondered: with the help of what educational devices does modern tennis training? Naturally, they spend their time on the court for days, months, whatever, for years, polishing to perfection every blow. For example, just practicing a serve forces an athlete to monotonously perform the same action thousands of times, bringing it to perfection... But really, apart from the racket, the ball, perseverance and patience Is there nothing else in a tennis player’s arsenal? Naturally such simulators and training devices there are, and now we will look at them in detail...

1. Training device “Strikes and serves in tennis.”
2. A target for training tennis players and a device for pushing out balls.
3. Installation for training strokes in tennis.
4. Belt for learning to play tennis.

Training device “Strikes and serves in tennis.”

The device is designed for practicing overhead shots and serves.

The device (Fig. 1) consists of the following elements: base 6, clamps 5, curved L-shaped pipe 3 (installed at a certain height using clamps), flexible tube 1, tennis ball 2, suction device 4.

The installation for training strokes while playing tennis has a vertical L-shaped stand, the end of which is located above the head. A plastic tube hangs from the stand. The tennis ball is inserted into the lower end of the tube above the athlete's head. A suction device connected to the other end of the tube holds the ball at its end. The suction force is such that upon impact the ball comes off the tube.

Instead of a suction device, you can place a magnetic plate at the end of the elastic tube and attach the same plate to the ball to hold it on the elastic tube.

A target for training tennis players and a device for pushing out balls.

If in the previous simulator the main goal was to practice serving, then this training device is used to perfect backhand and forehand shots in tennis.

The training wall, from which the ball does not bounce, has a vertical frame resting on the base. The frame with the sheet is tilted in the direction opposite to the movement of the ball. A groove for collecting balls runs along the bottom edge of the sheet. There is a hole in the middle of the chute for removing balls. Under the hole there is a box for balls. The athlete stands on court 6 in the left or right kick position. The platform is located at a certain distance from the striking side of the sheet. A device that pushes the balls is placed between the sheet (wall) and the platform.

Installation for training strokes in tennis.

Training exercise device designed for practicing attacking techniques. It also successfully trains such an important game element as the serve in tennis.

In the installation (Fig. 3), U-shaped frames 1 are attached to the upper end of the rack 5 with bracket 2. The remaining elements are as follows: 3 - limiting arms; 4 — ball (target); 6 - base; 7— fastenings for fixing frames at a certain height.

The ball, mounted on a wire bracket, rotates freely in a vertical plane around the axis of the frame. The limiting levers are used to adjust the direction of hitting the ball. Tennis players are trained according to the following rules:

1. When the racket hits the ball correctly, the bracket on which the ball is mounted does not touch the stopper.
2. If struck incorrectly, the wire touches the limiter.

Belt for learning to play tennis.

The belt can be used to teach beginners to play tennis, as well as for experienced players to play tennis after injuries and a long break in training (authors M. Vincent et al., Germany). The belt (Fig. 4) includes the following parts: rings for fastening cords 3, chest belt straps 4, belt lock on the chest 6, belt with fastener 5, fastenings on the handle of a tennis racket 1, shock-absorbing cords 2.
