Question

Explain the following term in tennis:

Drive

Answer in Brief

Solution

Hit with a long forward swing from a position farther back on the court. All drives, forehand or backhand, should be executed with a strong, locked wrist. There is no wrist movement in a proper drive. Top spin is produced by the arm, not the wrist. Drives should have depth. The average driver should be behind the service line. A good drive. Base knuckle. Continental Base knuckle on the upper part of panel 2 should be within 3 feet of the baseline. A cross-court drive should be shorter than a straight drive to maximise the available angle.
