The Tac Tic Knee Trainer guides players to bend their knees automatically! They
feel and hear a loud click exactly at the moment they bend, whether it is for
general balance and movement, to load up before hitting a serve or groundstroke,
or to get down for low balls and volleys.
The Tac-Tic Knee Trainer is one of the most industry-changing training
tools to come along in years.
If you coach tennis, you know how many thousands
of times each year you tell students the common instruction, Bend your knees.
Simply put, if the Knee Trainer clicks
at the right moment or remains clicked as needed, the right technique is in
place.
Below you will find guidelines to find those right moments to get you on track
to better tennis. Of course, as you use the Knee Trainer, you will undoubtedly
adjust some of these checkpoints to suit each students needs, and also combine
them with your own understanding of tennis technique. Remember, there is no
single right way to move and hit a tennis ball, as is demonstrated by the many
subtle differences among the worlds top players. To use, simply place the
device over one of your knees and Velcro firmly into place with the kneehole
over the patella. If possible, use it on the dominant leg.
After the split step to
volley
After the split get low enough to move aggressively at the net and
try to keep the Knee Trainer in the clicked or bent position. The trainer
would only unclick when the player extends upwards for high volleys.
Otherwise, in particular at the net, stay in the low position to move and
handle those challenging low and net height volleys.

Forehand groundstrokes
The concept of loading for topspin groundstrokes is commonly accepted. This
is a situation where the Tac Tic Knee Trainer really shines. Heres a simple
exercise. With a partner, coach, or ball machine feeding balls, start
upright, with the device in the unclicked position. Then click to the
loaded position before striking the ball. |
Two-handed backhand topspin groundstrokes
Loading for a topspin one-handed or two-handed backhand is similar in
principal to bending in the knees for topspin forehands. The point is that
loading energy into the ground (thus clicking the Tac Tic Knee Trainer)
creates linear or vertical energy into striking topspin groundstrokes.

Serve
The Tac Tic Knee Trainer is just terrific for helping players gain
a better feel for loading on the serve. Start straight as you would for any
normal serving motion. In this position, the Knee Trainer is unclicked or
straight. Then toss the ball and load into the bent or clicked position.
Especially when serving, the Tac Tic is dramatic as a powerful tool for
practicing the knee bend, a critically important aspect of developing a
solid serve in tennis. |
