    Damn, Will Smith was giving us pro tennis tips YEARS before he played Richard Williams! Thanks for diving deep on improving the basics here, haha, this is great

    How detailed you are with the synchronisation of verbal & physical demonstration is so good! I’ve had coaches not clearly articulate things and it hasn’t been helpful

  • @soolwan

    This is exactly what I need to work on, especially when dealing with heavier hitters. Appreciate you laying it out so clearly!

      yeh it's easy to get spellbound with heavy topspin coming at you on the baseline and almost falling back.

    • @stanostano7674
      @stanostano7674 Před 3 lety

      Yeah ,but if you dont want to play deep balls,step back IS must.😀

  • @paulperaza798
    @paulperaza798 Před 3 lety +29

    At a certain level this kind of comes natural going for the ball hitting groundstrokes and volleys as well, but rushing into it, being to aggressive stepping into the ball, also happens and unbalances our game. Building up patience and avoiding laziness is key factor

  • @Elcompalui712
    @Elcompalui712 Před 2 lety +9

    Best video i’ve ever seen. I never realized i was backing up when hit the ball. That’s what’s been messing me up this whole time thanks so much

  • @269058
    @269058 Před 3 lety +13

    Brilliant! Moving towards the ball is so logical, yet it does not come naturally.. at least not to me :) It's the first time I hear this tip and it really changes a lot. Thank you so much for sharing!

  • @comadano

  • @NamesAreRandom
    @NamesAreRandom Před 3 lety +14

    I would argue that moving back is a symptom not the primary problem. For recreational players like me the primary problem is we can't read the ball fast enough or accurately enough. If you only saw the ball late you'd be backing off too. Give most recreational players some easy coach fed balls and you'll see they move in correctly. This is amplified by having to hit on the rise. You can do that but for most rec players that is a low % shot. If we try to move in with bad ball reading we will end up hitting on the rise a lot more than you do, for a shot that is a lot lower % than it is for you.

    • @Luca-ux3so
      @Luca-ux3so Před 3 lety +3

      Yes!! I also find that my main problem is reading the ball

    • @dammitol25mg19

      Me too. There's a youtube coach named tennis hacker with some worthwhile insights on this problem. (I don't get paid to say that.)

    • @pauldavey422
      @pauldavey422 Před 4 měsíci

      I am a coach and you are both right..if he gave some advice about how to adapt your preparation and swing length depending on the length of your opponent's shot that would really help...

    Hey Karue,
    Just a quick example of how small the world is.
    I am hitting in Sofia, Bulgaria(literally on the other side of the globe :-)) and I saw a guy with a UCLA Tennis t-shirt playing on the next court. It turns out his brother was a former UCLA Tennis Champion from 2005 - Luben Pampoulov.

  • @andrewjames4473
    @andrewjames4473 Před rokem

    I couldn't agree more. Mindset is the most important issue, even more so than technique or stamina (you can have both and still play terrible tennis). For me, I try to smile - try! - after each mistake and treat the mistake as simple, neutral research I can learn from. After all, mistakes are proof of progress. It is also crucial to understand that most of the pressure that results in tight muscles and poor strokes comes from us, not our opponent (who in many cases we will never meet again and soon even forget their name). In short, for me, if my mindset is right - positive, detached from my errors, aware that none of the game matters at all in the long term - I play like much better version of myself. A great video, and I look forward to the next, thank you

  • @tombailey4458
    @tombailey4458 Před 3 lety +1

    I really needed to hear this. Living in Atlanta I have been playing Alta A4 and A8 on two different doubles teams and USTA 4.5 Singles and I continue to back up and run away from the ball. I know I should not, but end up backing up anyways. Very Frustrating. The In and Out Drill I have never even heard of, what a great idea! Look forward to trying it. Thanks again for all the hard work you put into these videos.

    what im looking for. I just record myself playing yesterday. I always lean back on my back foot when i hitting the ball instead of lean forward with my front foot. My shot was so slow and loopy instead of produce some pace on the ball. My style is counterpuncher(Pusher). Hopefully i can apply this tip and make me more aggressive player. Thanks for the video

    @NsteveA Před 3 lety

    This is great and moving backward is definitely a problem for if the conditioning off and I'm not reading ball depth well. Principally I need to be more aware of where I am after a hit and then returning to the best ready position. THEN I can move forward on my hit.

  • @thomasmedeiros5722
    @thomasmedeiros5722 Před 3 lety +1

    Excellent lesson. Every thing starts with proper footwork and using your body properly. Way back in the day Tennis Guru Vick Braden used scientific analysis to teach technique like moving forward and hitting from the ground up using legs and core to develop power. I played a lot of baseball and basketball before I started tennis and developed many of the skills you teach in this lesson. I make it a point to ask what other sports my players have played before tennis. Hitting baseball or softball and catching ground balls are great cross skills for hitting ground strokes. I basketball you drive the ball to the basket and follow your outside shots in to the basket to get a rebound. You score points in tennis by moving forward to the net to close out the point.

    • @KaruesellHQ
      @KaruesellHQ  Před 3 lety

      Precisely. In any sport, using your body well is key for good performance

  • @sergiosimbula
    @sergiosimbula Před 3 lety

    Hi Karue, I was wondering if it could be interesting for aspiring players to do an analysis video on Rios' gamestyle and technique. Your video from today made me think of his style... Taking the balls so early on the rise and dominating the rallies without much power... making it se so effortless. And his technique played a huge part in that. It was so simpel but beautiful. And I think it would be so helpful for many aspiring players who are so obsessed with the 'ATP forehand and backhand'.
    Rios was said to be lazy (and he was
    ..but mainly mentally... giving matches away), but actually his footwork was great, very fluid. Much like Federer dancing on court. Always in great position and in balance. Taking the balls early and as you said moving his body out of the way. He had a very short and late backswing. Which in my opinion is a good idea for many amateurs who might read the balls somewhat late.
    Anyway if you ever get time to do something like that imo it would be awesome.
    Keep up the great work, big fan here!

    Really nice concept and I do play exactly that way - indoors on carpet. But I doubt there is any way to do so on clay or grass. No hard courts here but also not so easy, if it is windy I think.

  • @dmytrosavytsky2122
    @dmytrosavytsky2122 Před 2 lety +1

    Dear Karue, thank you for great videos. You play fantastic, everything seems so easy. I do all mistakes you have mentioned in 3 videos. I brush the ball and not hit it flat, I really do all the mistakes you have mentioned. And I know about them and know how to hit correct, but just can't do it. This is what 99% of amateurs do. Our coaches tell us what to fix and we don't do it. Unfortunately, the standard approach just does not work. I love how you talk and explain, you are truly fantastic, but after watching your videos I will not play better. I (we, amateurs) need drills, simple drills that will fix mistakes. Thank you for your work. 5 stars.
