Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to a teaching aid for assisting tennis players to improve their swing.

More particularly the present said invention relates to practice aids for teaching proper grip tension when playing tennis.

By holding a tennis racquet too tight, the swing will become rushed and uneven. With a loose grip the swing will be smooth and promote a better contact of the ball.

Having been a tennis coach of world-class tennis players, I found through years of teaching that when the hand is loose the play is of better quality. The tennis player also will use less arm power.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

When swinging a tennis racquet, most tennis players hold too tight and are not able to feel the advantage of a relaxed swing through a loose grip.

The finger sleeve as shown in FIG. 2 drawing is a thin material that slips over the finger with a snap disc sensor on the inside bottom, and a battery, and a sound module on the inside top of finger.
