How to Improve a Wii Tennis Game
The Nintendo Wii is a consul that requires much practice. Unlike traditional gaming consuls that come with a basic gaming controller, the Wii uses sensory controllers that communicate with a sensor bar, often located near the television. When playing tennis, players make movements that are similar to serving, strokes and back spins with a Wii remote in hand. Playing a video game using the movements one would on the court requires practice and determination. There are methods to improve one's tennis game, though.

Serve the ball by holding down the A button, which will make the player toss the ball up in the air, instead of the easy up and down serve movement. Once the ball is in the air, swing the Wii remove forward to hit the ball, exactly like you would on the court.

Use the backhand swing, instead of the traditional forehand swing, when the ball is returned near the sidelines of the court. Players who are right-handed should use the backhand swing when the ball appears on the left-hand side of the court. Left-handed players should use the backhand swing when the ball appears on the right-hand side of the court. Perform a backhand by hitting the ball with your palm facing you.

Use the slow serve to prevent the computer players from returning the serve. Do this by tossing the ball up, and serve it just at the last second. This increase the chances of a win and generate a high, slow serve, which the opponents will have a difficult time returning.

Rotate the wrist holding the Wii remote controller when swinging it forward to hit the ball. Perform this movement with a forehand, swinging from low to high in a half-moon gesture. The rotation of the wrist results in a topspin, which enables sharper angles, particularly for the back court player.

Swing the Wii remote controller forward in a half-moon gesture, starting low and ending up high. While swinging, twist the wrist backward to complete a backspin on the return hit. These spins can fool the computer player at lower difficulty levels, as the ball often skips the surface quickly.

Play a longer game, until the computer players begin sweating. This is a sign that it is starting to slow down when returning balls, which will benefit you. This trick only works during the game, not the overall match.

Hit the ball, aiming directly at the computer player in the back court. The ball will often miss, but the automated player might act as if it does not know whether to hit the ball with a forehand or backhand, which delays the reaction, causing it to miss the ball completely.
