Acceleration and weight of the ball. Wisdom by Spanish Legend Pato Alvarez

Weight of the ball

Pato Alvarez

“A tennis player is born with a definite ‘weight’ of ball or strength of hit.” For as much as the coach tries to improve this faculty, the variation will be small, because it is difficult to change an innate condition.”

–William Pato Alvarez

Pato still teaches at the Sanchez-Casal Academy in Barcelona, Spain.
