Finally. Can yu advise on hitting winners from inside the court if the ball is short :) Thx thomaz
Thank you ,nice to have you back with more lessons ,Thomas 👍🏻❤️
My pleasure, thanks for the kind feedback!
Excellent tip for pointing out the difference between the smashing after the bounce and the serve. Very useful and make sense.
Cannot wait to put it in practice.
I can relate this tip for the serve, smash, and after-a-bounce smash.
Thanks.
Perfect instruction. I'm always framing the smash with the top of my racquet by reaching up to it. I can't wait to get the next lob.
Thank you Thomas, excellent tips, I definitely try to do that next time on court
all great tips. Thank you very much.

Wow, I definitely setup underneath the ball. Hope this fixes my tendency to hit the net.
thank you tomas ...very good video
as always these videos are great
Great explanation. I have wondered why players (including me) frequently hit overheads into the net. This really helps. Thanks.
Thank you Tomas, from Vietnam.

Very good
Thanks Tomaz.
This video is very useful for me.
Glad it was helpful!
감사합니다.
First comment Tomas , love from india ❤️
Nice video - moving too far back and then towards the ball is also good because you gonna have the forward momentum when hitting
Very good video, I was looking exactly for this kind of video , smatch after bounce because it's taking you far from the net! And a lot of my smatches are going to the net...
The grip you use is continental right?
I've noted your position is on the side , is it important or the pronation is doing the job even if your body is positioned face on the net ?
Yes, Continental grip. At contact you should "face" the ball, not the net. So always orient towards the ball with body, pronation (forearm) then eventually moves at an angle towards target.
I feel very grateful for your explanations in this video, it helped me a lot!
do you think there are some case we could hit the ball with slice also?
You’re one of my favorite online tennis instructors. Wondering what you think of the Oscar Wegner teaching method.
Thank you! I think he has good tips on finding the grip for beginners and good tips on volleys. But not on the forehand...
@@feeltennis thank you
I watched this video last week and tried it today, against an opponent who often lobs. The success was amazing! I had one difficulty - the sun was often in my eyes and I couldn't see the ball well. Preparing for the shot at a slightly different angle relative to the ball and the sun seemed to help. Do you have other tips for playing in the sun (other than sunglasses, which I find uncomfortable)?
Not really, but you can try to use your left hand as a tiny umbrella to block the Sun.
Tomas what will be the changes for overhead smash no bounce?
No changes. ;) You may just have to play more often off the back foot if the lob is good.
Great tips. The next question is how to do it when it bounces deeper? - because back fences are much closer than the pro courts we see on TV you can't just let it drop so the smash would still be useful. Also when do you let it bounce - you could have just smashed the ball with no bounce in most of your examples instead?
You shouldn't let it bounce if you read that the lob is going deeper. I would let it bounce only if I can judge that the ball will drop in the service box. And I wouldn't not take most of the lobs in this video in the air because the ball is coming down at very high speed and it's difficult to hit the sweet spot and angle the racket right. If you let it bounce the ball basically hangs in the air and it's much easier to hit clean with power.
@@feeltennis thanks for that, those extra hints are helpful
"The only source of power is from pronation internal shoulder rotation" is something I need to focus on.
Hah, I managed to fail on all five concepts at the same time 😂 thanks for this video, very compact wrap up of a difficult shot!
Thanks, now you know how I get ideas for videos. ;)
