Christopher Corbett

.
Christopher Corbett is another bright young tennis star from Coach Sam's Home School Tennis program in Brazoria County. Chris is really dedicating himself to being the best player he can be and can be found on the practice court multiple times a week these days.

Here's a photo of one of Chris' best shots, his backhand. He's showing great focus on the ball and good racquet preparation. You can see he's loaded his weight onto his back foot and is about to unload into his hit and follow through.


This photo shows Chris' finish of the swing with a definite unload to the front foot and nice extension on the follow-through of his swing. We'll definitely be hearing more about Chris in the future...!
