Florida Man visits DB Racquet Club to work on his swing

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - On this installment of Florida Man Adventures, we travel to the DB Racquet Club in Gainesville. This is the go-to place in Gainesville for top level tennis. Coaches here teach the proper form and techniques that bring players’ skills to new heights.

“Before i was like, everything was really jolty. I didn’t move fluently but they taught me how to like open and split step and actually prep which is really helpful.”

Using proper footwork and technique is what allows these skilled athletes to hit with such accuracy. For an example of poor technique, look at this man, feet out of position and barley in font of the ball, and he can barely aim, heartbreaking. Drills and conditioning are key elements to improve your tennis skills. Many of the club coaches and alumni have experience playing at top college levels. They use this experience to help the next generation of players.

“So if you are wanting to develop yourself to at least a division one tennis player, we have that covered here, because we all went through that process.”

Their clay courts make playing much easier on your joints, DB Racquet club offers an on-site gym for members to improve cardio and weight training. It also features the only indoor racquet ball court in Gainesville, and a massive pool to cool down after a long match. They also offer kids programs, including personal training and summer camp.

“With some of the best coaches and athletes in the area, db racquet club is the place to take your game to the next level. For more information on DB Racquet Club go to our website wcjb.com. For TV20 News, I’m Adam Pittman, and this has been Florida Man Adventures.”
