Tennis Instructional Tip: when and how to slow it down in a match

There are times during a tennis match, where it is to your benefit to slow down. In certain circumstances, it isn't productive to rush through your shots. Let's say you are about to hit a shot on the run on a clay court. If you rush to hit the shot you are likely to mis slide. In addition, if you don't stop after you have positioned yourself to hit the shot, you will also most likely produce an error. Furthermore, you can balance yourself while hitting a shot on the run by placing your non dominant hand on your hip.
