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
Little did we know
Great weight transfer when he slapped Chris Rock
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
Thank you - happy it’s helpful!
@@KaruesellHQ how tall are you?
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.
Yeah ,but if you dont want to play deep balls,step back IS must.😀
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
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
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!
👍🏼👍🏼
Love that you include a drill to work on turning the theory into practice. Thanks!
Appreciate it!
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.
Yes!! I also find that my main problem is reading the ball
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.)
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...
Lol our coach just gives us heaters so we're forced to adapt
Tried this today and it was the best my groundstrokes felt in a long, long time. Thanks 👍
That's sick! Happy it helped
This is simple yet incredibly important instruction. Such a great coach. Thanks, Karue!
great advice!! now that i picture it, i realize i ALWAYS back up. this of course throws off timing and results in a crap-ola stroke. playing a hard hitter tomorrow night i'll try the more attacking style. thanks!
Amazingly concise in your explanation with great, easy-to-remember comparisons - love it! A big thank you!
Amazing video, hope to see the other parts as I'm working on those areas right now.
Also thanks for the Forehand video which has given my own signature stroke that has been getting a lot of comments and is becoming super reliable.
Awesome to hear! Next videos coming up this week and next
Acute observations followed by excellent demonstrations. What a gem!
Appreciate this video. 90/10! Took my game up another level. My friends have seen a big difference and I have some big wins since this video. Keep up the great work.
can u explain 90 and 10 once again.. couldn't understand
I watch and watched hundreds of other tennis channels but you are the one filtering the really important things and your advices help me the most. You must be a great trainer
Thank you! I just try to keep it simple. Online instruction can't ever replace in person but we can be a good resource!
Hey Karue
Been a subscriber for a while now and it’s super quality content like this that makes me come back each time. Keep it up.
Going to try the in and out drill and get out of my comfort zone. Loved the Hitch analogy 😄. Look forward to video 2 and 3. Cheers
Thank you - stay tuned!
crystal clear, great simple effective tips, Thanks Coach
Exactly the tip I [the amateur] got from the sparring partner who competes. Do not back off from the ball. Step into the ball. The in/out exercise is cool and simple. Going to try tomorrow. Thanks for the practical advice!
Glad to be helpful! Good luck
Excellent suggestions, will give them a try tomorrow. Thanks
I'm just getting back to tennis after a 6-year break. Your videos really remind me of all the important fundamentals and intricate details that I've forgot!
This was very helpful without talking much. Loved it, thanks
Thanks a lot Karue! I really appreciate that you share all these tips online.
Of course!
This is great. Currently working on exactly this. Guilty of backing up!
This guy is an excellent coach! I wish I had the opportunity to train with a coach like him. Great guides and so logical
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.
Small world! 🎾👍🏼
Great tips to improve the game. I'm following the channel here in Brazil to improve my game. Thanks for the lessons!
The best tennis content of youtube, you really understand what is tennis
I never thought about the going back and yes, I do it, and I will try your drill. Thanks!
Excellent vid. Just what I needed!
Yeah, I do that stepping back thing I now realise. Now I'm going to fix it, thanks for more great content!
Love hearing helpful tips from clever people. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Thanks Karue, Great video! Keep up the good work my man👍🔥
Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you very much for the great instruction.
Great video Karue, definitely gonna implement this drill in my training!
Awesome!!
Excellent advice and guidance …thank you so much….you doing great job…God bless you in every phase of life…❤️☺️
Love the "in and out" drill! Great lesson!
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
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.
Happy to help!
Really great advice. My first move is almost always backwards but from now on I will try to change.
great ideas to work on it, great explication, great informations. tnk you brother.
Thank you for this wonderful video(tips). Its going to help me a lot. Your Pilipino subscriber here.
Thanks for the video! I’m definitely going to starting working on my footwork more
Amazing comments and something i do a lot! thanks for the tips.
That drill seems really good
Gonna try it today
Love this. I've always heard to step into the ball, but your explanation was fantastic and made it finally click. 90/10
Thank you! I'm glad it could help!
Thank you, very clear and helpful!!
Dae velho! Não vais lembrar de mim, mas quando era moleque te assistia jogar no ATJ, em Jaraguá do Sul! Lembro até hoje que fiquei surpreso em te ver dominando a 3ª classe, novão! Achei teu canal por acaso, porque voltei a jogar, e reconheci! Muito massa, conteúdo muito bom! Sucesso pra ti!
In and out drill. Oh yeah baby! :) good drill. This falling back issue is my biggest problem. thanks.
Great videos man. Thank you 🙏👏👍👊
great advice, thanks very much
Karue, sos un excelente coach. Tu explicación es perfecta! Gracias por el contenido de tu canal!
Muchas Gracias! Saludos 👊🏻
Hitting late and not stepping into the ball is the problem I've be having lately and this video helped me realize it.
This channel deserves 1M subscribers at least! I wish more people can watch this and learn! Instructions are amazing with the illustrative examples! Love that! Best of Luck Karue and Thank you once again!
Hahah thank you. Not sure if any tennis channel can get to 1M but we will definitely try! Cheers
this is exactly what i'm looking for, thanks for sharing, subscribed
Thank you!!
That's a great drill. Will try next outing. Thanks
Great content, as always!
Excellent lesson!
Best coaching videos.
Great tips as usual. Thank you :)
Can you please a lesson on serve as well ? Like how to be effortless
This advice helped me a Lot !!!!
this is really great advice, so true about recreational players
Thank you
Awesome. Thank you!
You have earned my subscription today!
Whoa. You listed everything I’m trying to work on right now 😯
U of A Pac 12 player taught me to "Press" the ball. Go to the ball don't let the ball come to you creates more aggressive shots.
Damn ! Looking forward to seeing part 2 and especially part 3!
Stay tuned!
omg! this is so much helpful! major improvements!! i love how the content is being structured. and i love how you
give visual example as you explains. Im SOLD! and yes - you did improve on the less talking lol!! awesome you!
I'm so happy to hear that! Happy to help
Karue this is the most important video you have done in all videos.
This video revolutionized my forehand, I was leaning backwards all the time right before hitting
Good stuff - like that drill. Surely split step is key.
best online coach ever thank you
I'm here to help with the algorithm, great video series!
Thank you very informative
I love this! Taking the ball early lets me time my shot really well, get effortless power and change direction more easily as well. Standing back is not a good strategy unless you have the strength of Nadal or Wawrinka
Yes. Standing back is perfectly fine but you need to be very strong
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
Extraordinario!!! 🥇👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Karue, another great video
Thank you!
Best tennis training video ever
I have been playing soccer since I was 4 and am so used to positioning my body to receive the ball straight to my body. It has been really hard to adjust leaving enough space to not get jammed up. Footwork is so key in this game.
So key indeed!
Yes, when play soccer, coaches always say go to the ball. Don't wait for it to come.
Best tennis channel, best sock game.
Its this kind of content that sets this channel apart from others. Props to you all at MTHQ. Is it a one man band?
As always, thank you Karue!
Thanks Javi 👍🏼
Great tip!
It’s a really good video to improve my shoot
Great tips thank you . Excellent
Thank you
Great video! I love this format
Thanks!
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.
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.
Precisely. In any sport, using your body well is key for good performance
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!
great content!
A GENUINELY USEFUL INSIGHT and VIDEO - THANKS for posting this !!!
- Mark in North Aurora IL
Thank you, mark!
You are a great coach Karue 😀
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.
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.
Great tip! Thanks man!
Thanks!
Dope content as usual Karue!
Thank you!
Fantastic content! Thank you so much
Thank you
Great tip.
Thanks heaps for the much useful tips
Happy to help!
