Here is a question that has, in the past, been the subject of much debate. However, as today's 'power game' takes center stage on courts all over world, there is little doubt as to where a player needs to start building a solid foundation for their game.
My answer to the question posed in the title of this article is: Neither - at least yet. The answer really depends on what your tennis goals are. If, for example, you are a young player who wants to play tennis 'seriously' and gain a national ranking and/or perhaps a college scholarship, I am going to tell you that you need to start with neither your strokes or your footwork. You need to start with physical conditioning. After you have a physical fitness regime in place, you would then - and only then - start with learning proper footwork. Once you have a solid foundation of physical fitness and proper footwork, you can then start working with your coach on the details concerning your racquet, grip size, types of grips used for different strokes that best suit you, and begin the process of grooving your ground strokes.
If you are a social player, and play a couple of time a week but still want to improve, I would suggest to you that learning - and applying - proper footwork is definitely where you will see the fastest improvement in your games, hands down.
Why?
Well, first there is the obvious fact that if you're not in position to hit the ball, then all the proper 'stroke training' in the world will not help you to hit a great shot. Secondly, I have seen time and again on the tennis court, from my students, from nationally-ranked players to the top pros, that the player who has the better footwork - and can continually employ that footwork on the court over an extended period of time - has the upper hand in the match. In short, between two players with equal shot-making ability, my money is on the player with the better footwork - and I don't gamble, so that should tell you something.
Proper footwork is, by far, THE most important overall aspect of the game of tennis, and is by far, THE most underutilized weapon is a player's arsenal.
Why?
Putting it bluntly, footwork isn't as 'sexy' or as 'cool', as watching Andy Roddick serve 150 mph bombs on Centre Court at Wimbledon (and secretly wishing you could do the same!) This is where you, as a player, need to figure out what you want to get out of your game. Do you want to get results on the court, or just 'look cool'? Your footwork is more important than any of your strokes, what type of racket you play with, or what brand name is stitched into your tennis clothes.
Here's what arguably one of the greatest players to ever pick up a racket, says regarding footwork:
"My game has a lot to do with footwork; when I'm moving well, I play well."
- Roger Federer
The next time you're on the court, focus on 'feeling' your feet moving constantly, and, like Roger Federer, focus on getting into proper position quickly to hit each and every shot. Then you'll be able to let those awesome strokes of yours do their work!

The Talented Jimmy Connors, Former King of the Tennis Court
Jimmy Connors quiz questions are an important part of any recap of the history of tennis, as he remains one of the most successful players to ever professionally play the sport. One of the facts in Jimmy Connors trivia that shows just how great this tennis star was, is the fact that he is one of only five athletes that has won a Grand Slam singles tournament on Grass, Hard, and Clay courts, as he was a master of all surfaces the game is played on. He even managed to win the US Open alone, on all three different types of surfaces.
A Jimmy Connors quiz point that is perhaps the most often talked about statistic of his career is the number of weeks that he was ranked as the number one tennis player in the world. He became the first ranked player in 1974 and remained in that spot for 160 weeks. Although he would totally be the first ranked player for 268 weeks, the 160 consecutive weeks was the longest period a person had held that position, and stayed as the record until 2007, when Roger Federer would achieve the new record of most consecutive weeks at number one.
Jimmy Connors trivia includes interesting facts about his games against other famous players of his time. Connors would defeat Bjorn Borg at the US Open, and also lose to him at the 1977 Wimbledon tournament, and it would be Borg who was able to break the consecutive streak of Connors atop the tennis ratings. He also had a much celebrated win against John McEnroe, then the best player in the world, in Wimbledon in 1982.
Connors was also both the face of tennis racket evolution, and of the past of racket technology. During the early part of his career he became one of the faces of the Wilson T2000 racket which was made of steel instead of wood as most of its predecessors has been. He would play with this racket for decades, and what had once been innovation became traditionalism, and while others moved on to other types of rackets he continued to play with the Wilson, even reverting to it once after changing to a newer type of racket construction. It took until 1987 before he would switch full time to a graphite construction racket, which was 19 years after the introduction of the T2000 racket which he helped introduce to the world.

Wilson blx, Volcanic Basalt in tennis racket?
Here is the article I read about volcanic basalt in the next Wilson racket: http://sportales.com/tennis/wilson-20x-next-tennis-racket/
Why do they want to do this? Isn't basalt just a plain rock. Putting rock into a racket is weird. What's your opinion?
I believe they are mixing the basalt with [k]arophite black.
"With the new BLX line, Basalt fibers are woven longitudinally with the innovating [K]arophite Black to create the most advanced composite ever in the industry. Players will find the ultimate in frequency reduction while retaining the performance of carbon fiber in terms of lightness, responsiveness, stability and ridgitiy."
For more info the link is below.
My thoughts on this is that the racquet is going to be sweet. the PJ is really nice (and different). Plus, if you think about it, making a racquet out of rock sounds alot better than making a racquet out of the stuff used in old pencils (graphite).
