Great video thanks
Again shows why video is so important when you don't have a full time coach. Nice video!
Personally, I think video is critical when you have a full time coach, too 😬
@@EssentialTennis I agree! Then it's even more even more essential to have it when you don't have a coach😅
Absolutely, it's priceless!
After listening to the podcast twice, I watched this. I plan to do these drills to help burn in the skills. Thank you!
That’s some good coaching right there. Massive improvement just after the first exercise.
She did fantastic!
Loving the process as usual. Very impressive seeing how alive her feet are when hitting the ball; really great level of intensity for her level.
Cheers!

Definitely, she's a great athlete
This explains the what but not the why. Why does leading with the body and pulling the racquet result in more power? What is the physics - more racquet head speed, racquet more squared up at contact, looser grip, large object colliding with small object. Understanding the physics may help the what stick more for the student, or at least satisfy the curious tennis nerds. Thanks Ian !
Great video! Doing video is so great especially for the student to see with their own eyes. My issue with trying it is most of my students don't want to do it, even after I constantly push for it.
I hear you, it takes a certain kind of person to be open to it. You're a fantastic coach for pushing people out of their comfort zone!
Great analysis 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great lesson.
Thanks! 😃
This is so great, and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me.
I've been doing something slightly similar to this woman for years and being too active and leading with the arm, resulting in tension and poor power output relative to effort input. At least very erratic power output, and not very consistent.
The last couple of days I've had an epiphany of sorts, and this video is more or less exactly what I'm working on at the moment.
The visual cues from this video and your comments just make it all the more clear to me.
Thanks a lot:)
YES, so happy to hear that! Congrats!
I tried to mimic her initial swing and it isn’t pleasant … I’m surprised she didn’t injure herself , but at least contact is in front of the body
Nice work Ian …. Video analysis is crucial
Do you tell them you are about to flame them on youtube before sharing the videos 🤣
Flame? Her improvement was amazing, all positive!
Finally, the hated "goat-tee" is gone :+) Ian, I know that you are 4.5 + player, but your appearance is 6.5!!!!! Good to see you again. Thanks 😁
😆😆
@@EssentialTennis lazy replay 😳😁
her set position needs elbow up too
🙏🙏🙏
Shes not watching the ball at contact.
true, but she is concentrating SO much on changing her stroke and body that she is ignoring the rule, "watch the ball". That may well come later, after the stroke change becomes more natural. You can't change everything instantly. Her old stroke would have certainly damaged her elbow or at minimum exacerbated Tennis elbow problems.
Lots of pros don't "watch the ball" at contact....it's honestly not essential for good play
There is no rule per se to watch the ball at contact, but it's believed widely. Having learnt everything from Vic Braden, a true legend in my opinion, who had spoken to scientists regarding this matter, he didn't think it was important (maybe an outdated view...so take it with a grain of salt). Now, with that being said, and being partially blind where I can not iinterpret depth, it helps me greatly to actually look at the ball as long as possible, even better to look at it until the ball hits your strings. At that point hopefully we have our racket at the front-most position to "see" the ball from behind the racket.
Hey I didn’t even see incoming balls afterwards they crossed the net! 😄
