最近几天在学校里面打球，我发现有些网球场甚至没有满，虽然整个学校总共只有八个免费的场地。所以我感觉到我有义务为推广网球运动做点贡献。因此我下面将要写的是对于还没有接触过网球但是有意向想学网球的人的一些指南。如果你已经是一个有相当经验、正反手稳定的网球手，我建议你不要浪费时间看这篇文章了，虽然我确信看了也没什么坏处。
首先，我想要澄清一个对于网球的普遍误解，认为网球是有钱人的运动或者说网球是贵族运动。我将要给你展示如何用200块以内就可以开始打网球，你将发现其实它是老百姓的运动。
你首先要考虑的第一件事是场地。在你的城市里你也许可以找到几百处卖球拍和网球的地方，但是很有可能你连一处免费的网球场地都很难找到。所以你最好住在某个大学附近或者本身就是某个大学的学生，因为你很容易在上规模的大学里面找到免费的网球场。对于收费的场地来说通常是有点贵的，至少20块每小时。所以如果你不是每小时挣50块以上，我建议你还是不要试这些收费场地了，虽然它们确实提供更舒适的场地和更好的相关服务。
第二件事是拍子。一块100块左右的拍子对于一个初学者来说完全足够了。相信我，在你拥有稳定的正手并开始采用一些战略和战术之前，用100块的拍子和用1000块的拍子没有什么区别。我一直仍在使用三年前我开始学网球时候用的那块120块钱的拍子，而且我感觉它还能用。一般来说，如果你只是个业余爱好者，开始学习网球一年或两年之后再考虑换掉拍子也不算晚。因为贵点的球拍仅仅给你提供了更舒适的手感。而且那还得取决于球拍是否适合你。
第三件事是网球。你用最便宜的球拍在最便宜的场地上打球。但是别使用过于便宜的网球。你需要天龙628或者更好的。你可以通过学校的学生代理买到最便宜2块5的天龙628，你也可以在专卖店买到5块钱一个价位的。你可以一次性买100个或者50个，因为那样会更省钱。这里给你一个小贴士，别一次带上你全部100个或者50球，因为你带的越多，你越容易丢球。每次至多带10个球是个好主意。
至于制服，我建议任何运动服装都可以。别想着去买网球鞋，除非你非常有钱，因为它们确实很贵。那种情况下，我建议还不如先买个好一点的球拍。
好了，恭喜了！现在你已经准备好了所有装备，你可以开始练习网球了。在你真正开始之前，你最需要的是一个好的老师，能够告诉你什么是正确姿势，并且能够随时更正你的姿势。如果你的朋友中间没有好的网球手，别担心，你可以打我手机13812345678，o(∩_∩)o...，开个玩笑。如果你的朋友中间没有好的网球手，你可以看一些网球入门教程录像。看了这些录像，你就可以出去开练了。但是你还是需要有人能够对于你的姿势和步法给一些意见，因为录像是不能根据你个人犯的错误来给你意见的，其中的一些错误可能是很微妙连自己都没有意识到。我相信每个球场总是至少有一两个高手的。记住，他们确实很少会有耐心来帮助一个什么都不懂的菜鸟，但是他们确实乐意给提出一到两个巧妙问题的提问者一些意见。
还有几个非常重要的贴士我希望大家记住。第一个是，永远记住正确的姿势和步法是最重要的。永远不要为了打到来球而牺牲正确的姿势。第二个是，别机械的理解你老师的指导。记住正确的永远是自然的。要正确自然的打球。第三个是，对自己要有信心。开头总是难的。我花了将近三年的时间才有了相对稳定的正反手。你应该不会比我笨。第四个是，享受乐趣。你因为觉得它很酷所以打网球。你因为想让别人觉得你很酷所以打网球。这些都很好。不过要真正享受乐趣。这使得你的生命有意义！
最后，我想祝愿各位真正能够享受网球的乐趣。它确实让你很酷！它是这个世界上最高雅、最健康、最优美的运动。当球碰撞球拍时，它发出那种悦耳清脆的旋律：嘚，嘚，嘚！有一天你会亲手演奏那个旋律！

I played tennis on my campus these days, and I found that some of the tennis courts were not even occupied, though there are only eight tennis courts which are free of charge in this whole university. So I feel it is my resposibity to do some contribution to helping popularize tennis. Therefore, what I gonna write below is some directions for people who haven't get in any touch with tennis but have a tendency to start playing it. If you are already a pretty experienced tennis player with quite steady forehand and backhand, I suggest you not to waste time reading this article, though I'm sure it is no harm for you to read it.
First, I want to clear up some common mistake about tennis that it is a game only for rich people or it is an aristocrat's game. I will show you how you can start learning to play tennis within only 200 Yuan and you'll see It is a game for most average people!
The first thing you need to worry about is court. There may be hundreds of places where you can buy rackets and tennis balls in your city, while it is possible that you can hardly find a single free tennis court. So you'd better live near a college or be a college student, because you can easily find free tennis couts in upscale colleges. It is always a bit expensive for those places where charge money, say 20 Yuan per hour minimum. So if you don't earn more than 50 Yuan per hour, I suggest you not to try those toll ones which, however, do provide more comfortable court fields and better related services.
The second thing is racket. A 100 Yuan around racket is totally enough for a beginner. Believe me, it makes no difference between using a 100 Yuan racket and using a 1000 Yuan racket before you have a steady forehand and start to use some tactics or strategies. I've been still using my 120 yuan racket since 3 years ago when I started to learn tennis, and it still works good to me. Normally speeking, it is still not too late for you to start considering changing your 100 yuan racket one year or two after you start playing, if you are just an amateur. Because An more expensive racket only gives you more comfortable hand feelings! And that still depends on if it fits you or not.
The third one is balls. You play in the cheapest court, using the cheapest racket. But don't make your tennis balls too cheap. You need a teloon 628 or better. You can get a teloon 628 at 2.5 Yuan for the cheapest through some college student proxy, while you can also get it at the price of 5 Yuan at some franchised store. You can buy 100 or 50 balls at one time, bacause that can save you more money. And give you a tip here that don't bring out your 100 or 50 tennis balls in one game, because the more you bring the easier you will get them lost. It is a good idea that every time you bring with you at most 10 balls.
As the uniform, I suggest any sort of sport clothes will do. And don't try to get tennis shoes, unless you have much money, because they are really expensive. In that case, I suggest you buy yourself a good racket first.
So congratulations! Now you already have your equipments readly, you can start to learn tennis! The most important thing you need before you really get started is a good teacher who can tell you what is the correct posture and can correct your posture in real time. If you don't have a good tennis player among your friends, don't worry, you can call me on cellphone 13812345678, o(∩_∩)o..., just kidding. If you don't have a good tennis player among your friends, you can watch some tennis rudimental course videos. Once you've watched the video, you can go out and start playing. But you still need some other people give some advices about your posture and footworks, because a video can never give you personal advices according to your mistakes you've make, some of which are so subtle that you can hardly realise yourself. I believe there are always at least one or two splendid players in one palaestra. Remember seldom of they will have much patience to help a totally zero-knowledge rookie, but they do like to give some advices to someone who has one or two smart questions.
There a few further very important tips I want you to keep in mind. The first tip is always remember the correct posture and footwork is the most important thing. Never sacrifice the correct posture to hitting the incoming ball! The second tip is don't take your teachers' directions literally. Remember the correct way is always the nature way. Play tennice correctly and naturally! The third tip is have confidence in yourself. It is hard when you just get start. It takes me nearly 3 years to have relatively steady forehand and backhand. You can't be more awkward than I am. The forth tip is enjoy yourself. You play tennis because you think it's cool. Or you play tennis because you want other people think you are cool. That's all fine. But do enjoy yourself. That makes your life worthwhile!
Finally, I want to wish you have much fun playing tennis. It really makes you cool! It is the most decent, healthy, elegant game in the world. When the ball hits against the racket, it playes that silvery crisp rhyme: dope, dope, dope! One day you will play that melody yourself!
