For the beginner it can be fairly frusterating as it mainly consists of whacking the ball once or twice before running to retrieve it.

As you improve the rallies become longer, and the element of strategy comes into play (playing to your opponents weaknesses, setting up points with specific shots).

Of course the only way to improve is to practise. The best way is to invest in lessons. Your instructor will be able to show you the correct form and your game will improve much quicker. Plus you'll get to hit a series of balls in succession as he/she feeds them to you, rather than chasing the fuzzy little things all over the court.

Nice!

This is going to be fun...
