Wii Sports Tennis Training Guide

The best Wii Sports Training Guide tip is its all in the flexibility and control of the wrist. It doesn’t matter if you’re hitting a baseball or golf ball, rolling a bowling ball, throwing something or delivering a sweet left hook to an opponents’ liver, the key is to stay in control. Large, over-the-top motions make for a better show, but controlled, smooth motions with the wrist and the correct amount of follow-through with the elbow will be more successful then showboating. The motion sensitive ability designed into the Wii remote is immensely responsive, needing only a small amount of velocity to execute a 100 mph serve in tennis or a sweet-swing at the plate. Designers indicate that the maximum velocity the motion-sensing controls on the Wii can sense is equal to the velocity of the Wii remote, the moment before impact with the ground (1 G = 32 ft/second/second), after you drop it. This gives your fine motor controls plenty of room to maneuver within the Wii’s motion-sensing limits. Meaning you only need a short, controlled swing motion to knock the ball over the fence. Stay in the moment, practice the timing needed, and flick the wrist.

You can also earn points in Wii Sports if you’re playing with a live partner and as long as you’re playing against the computer you can still earn points toward your total with a good performance. Earn 1,000 points in a given sport in Wii Sports to rise to pro level. This level is basically the same, with a few subtle graphical rewards and larger crowd of cheering on lookers.

Learning to win in Wii Sports is also about knowing the conditions required for winning during play. The Wii Sports games have been abbreviated to keep the action flowing and make the game more about fun and enjoyable, then a serious sports game. Wii Sports Baseball is a short three inning affair that ends as a tie if the score is equal after three innings (normal baseball is a nine inning match). Only got a few minutes for a tennis or golf match, you can select the match length. A single game or hole, the best three out of five, Wii Sports gives you control. Winning is therefore about getting in the zone quickly because coming from behind will be difficult in a short game. The best thing about Wii Sports is that if you fail the first time, there’s always time for a rematch. All successful Wii Sports gurus fail before succeeding, so try and try again.

Although you’ll always play with a partner when playing Wii Sports Tennis, even when playing against the A.I. by yourself, the game may feel a bit like a two against one battle. Your partner will mirror your stroke exactly, but the backcourt player will more often be the player you use while playing. You will use a Mii to represent you as you play tennis that will automatically run to the spot needed to hit the ball. You just need to focus on timing the racket swing properly and learning the finer mechanics needed for each shot. Aiming the shot properly is about timing the swing, learning to swing a fraction early will allow you to pull the ball across your body and to the side of the infield you’re batting from, left or right. Timing your swing to contact the ball a fraction late to its arrival over the plate will cause the ball to be hit away from your body (to the opposite side of the infield you’re batting from).

Wii Sports Tennis is a simple game, just like in real life, winning is about hitting the ball to a spot where your opponents either miss the ball or strike it outside the lines of play. Learn to judge the ball flight and spin, so you know when to let an opponents shot land because it’s going to land outside the lines of play. Any ball hit by your opponent that lands outside the lines of play is out and you win the point. As your consistency improves try hitting closer and closer to the lines and you will begin to make your opponent run farther and farther and consequently miss more balls. Beginning players competing against seasoned gamers should at first aim for the middle of the court. This way they decrease their margin of error and the timing required isn’t quite as precise. In addition, you often swing the majority of the pressure onto the other player by allowing him to make the mistakes. Once you get ahead on the score board you can feel much more relaxed and can then feel comfortable attempting sharp-angled shots and aiming closer to the lines. Attempting sharp-angled shots is always ideal when hitting the ball from a spot all the way over on one side of the court. This way even an extreme angled shot will have a greater chance of landing within the lines of play. Developing the serve is one of the most important strokes to success in Wii Sports Tennis. Press the A button or make an upward stroke motion to throw the ball into the air, and then swing at the ball when it reaches the pinnacle of the toss. The tell-tail smoke trail the ball leaves as you strike it will be your indication of success, so smoke the ball.
