How can an experienced tennis player (level 5.0 and above) use the Ultimate Balance Trainer?
The experienced tennis player can use the Ultimate Balance trainer as both a diagnostic tool for stroke mechanics problems and as a footwork and movement trainer. Start at a lower level first (level 3 or 4) and see where you lean the most or drop your head the most. If the unit is not going off, increase the level until it goes off every 3 – 4 strokes. This will help you pinpoint areas where you are moving off-balance, and if you are moving off-balance before or after the hit. Remember that balance after the hit is just as important in order to recover quickly for the next one. The optimal Trainer level will be higher for your strong strokes and lower for your weak ones.
