 | | There was some lecturing, but mostly a lot of video action BJK serving the ball, or BJK running across the court to catch a ball with her forehand, or running the other way to catch it with her backhand, stuff like that. |
 | | When a real tennis racket hits the ball, you get a smushy-sharp "plock" as the ball compresses and rebounds, plus a little bit of a twang when the strings in the racket oscilate like a guitar string (but much shorter, because the cross-weave damps it quickly). |
 | | Think about it for a minute: real tennis players have spent five and ten years -- essentially all their childhood and early adult years swinging hard objects held in their hand at a flying round object, making the connection, and learning how to control where that ball flies off to. |
