๐พ Skip the yellow ball โ thatโs coach Gabrielโs #1 tip for beginners.
Gabrielโs been playing for over 15 years, and the mistake he sees most often is new players picking up a regulation yellow ball on day one. Tennis balls are actually built to match a playerโs level: start with the foam ball (softest, slowest), then work through red, orange and green dots โ each one a little faster and bouncier โ before moving up to the standard yellow ball.
Starting at the right level makes the game click faster and builds good habits from day one.
Itโs the same idea behind our junior classes โ every group gets the ball that fits its level, from complete beginners to advanced.
