Hey hey, this is Shaun with the GoTennis Podcast powered by Signature Tennis.

Today's tennis tip comes from Ben Hestley of Bull Shark Sports.

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

This is Ben Hestley from Bull Shark Sports.

Today's tip is on how to handle that winter weather that's making its way to Atlanta.

In the colder months, the ball typically doesn't travel as far nor bounces high as it does

when it's warmer outside.

So you're going to have to adjust your positioning out there.

Think about moving more inside the court, inside the baseline, and expect the ball not

to bounce very high.

Bollies are good anytime, but especially in the winter because the ball is not going to

bounce very high.

Move inside the court and play that ball before it bounces.

And you'll have a lot more success handling the winter weather, the cold temperatures,

and those low freezing bounces that you're likely to get.

Hope that helps and have fun out there this winter.

Move yourself more inside the court and get ready for those balls that bounce low.

Well, there you have it.
