Perhaps the most frustrating error tennis players make is dumping the ball into the net. Though often caused by ambitious shot selection and balls struck with little margin for error, the transparency of the net is a problem as well. Because you can see through the net to the other side, we often fail to grasp how much of a barrier the net really is.
To prevent this visual trickery, imagine that the net is a solid wall. (Some instructors even go so far as to drape fabric over the net to better get the point across.) This will give you a more realistic view of the obstacle in the middle of the court and encourage you to aim your shots higher. That, in turn, will mean more consistency and greater depth.
