Do Med Balls Develop Power for Tennis?

[@nyguy5370]

Baseball is different from tennis. MB throws are more appropriate for ground strokes than serve in my opinion. I agree they are not plyometric and it is hard to incorporate progressive overload from a weight perspective to increase strength. But the MB throws done properly reinforce technique for rotational force development. they also can be combined with footwork to increase intensity and then can be done for longer and longer periods to provide strength endurance. That is the ability to sustain power through a match.

the main reason is not purely velocity, but the main reason is to learn to employ the hips in technique.

Have you played around with wearable resistance like Exogen/Lila Tech?
