I'm a tennis player before a golfer and if only I'd discovered earlier about the similarities I'd have improved quicker. I always maintained a right forearm flying wedge in my fore-hand but didn't realize I did it. Now I know that I do it naturally and wish I'd employed it in my golf from the start. With my back-hand I also maintain a flat right wrist (akin to the flat left wrist in golf).

Another thing that I learned from TGM that applied to tennis was why I was giving myself a shoulder problem with my serving (one of the reasons I turned to golf). With TGM knowledge I realized that my right elbow was spent at the moment of impact with the ball - all power had gone and it was causing a jolt on my shoulder. Now I'm working on saving some elbow for the moment of impact which is increasing the power and saving my shoulder.

There are so many similarities between tennis and golf. You also have hingeing in the tennis stroke.
