- There's a lot of ways to add power to your shots but one way that is often overlooked actually has nothing to do with the arms. In this video I show you how to get the most out of your footwork to gain more power on your shots. HAVE FUN😁
The ice skating analogy really explains the concept of shifting the body weight very well
Thanks, it's a key point where people go wrong. I'm glad you caught that. Let me know if there's something you'd like to have covered on the channel
@@ironwilltennis not sure if you've covered this before but I can't get my slice backhand to stay low. It always floats embarrassingly high and long. I've watched all the vids on it but can't get it right...
@@marcorenato1814 I've got you👍
Very good video, the roller coaster analogy it’s a good idea, will give it a go! Thanks coach!
@zoro251 you're welcome, happy to help
watched 10 billion video's of this. You are the first one who is down to earth and making it simple and clear. No bull shit content. Just practical and useful. Thank you so much.
That's the goal I set out with. I'm glad you like it, I hope it was helpful 😁
Your stroke and movements are so clean, like your teaching. No nonsense!
Thanks for the compliment🙏 let me know if there's something I can help add to your game😁👍
Have always known weight shifting is crucial in effortless yet powerful strokes, but this was the vid that made it clear and simple to follow for us recreational players, please keep up the great content as you’re helping many a lot! Cheers
I'm happy to have been able to clear it up for you, and thank you for the compliment 😁
Yes, I loved that ice skating analogy which I could relate to. I watched many coaching videos but Will explains things the best. Great guy!
One of the best advice on tennis channels.
Your advice is practical and well explained. No BS
Thank you, that's always my goal😁 hope it helped
This is... really concise. Of all the tennis videos I come across, I feel like I could actually really use this. Thank you.
I hope it helps 😁 let me know how it works for you
For the most common shot in tennis.. we finally have an instruction utilising its breakdown in a most insightful and memorable way with an added skating analogy to boot, always a useful tool for reactivation on court. Love your work, thanks Will.
Greatly appreciated, happy to help any way I can
Beautifully explained and illustrated.
Big appreciation let me know if you'd like something covered in a video
Thanks so much for this tip!! I used it to absolutely crush my opponents serve today, can't wait to use this more, you rock!!!
Glad it helped!
4.5 player, great lesson, especially on going wide. Thanks
Happy to be of service 🙏
No wasting of explanation time. On the mark. Actually useful and really applicable. Got into the essential of the essentials in no time. Thank you. This tip is what I am missing all this time. And also this one made me really understand the point of using the open stance as oppose to the other tutorials that have point it out also.
Happy I was able to help, let me know if there's another topic you'd like help with
“… arriving sideways…” That was me for the longest time until yesterday when I saw your video on the backhand! 🤣🤣 The skater’s analogy is gold !
Great work keep moving forward with it. I think you'll be surprised at how much it helps other parts of your game.😁
Love this your channel. The most right to the point coach ever. Your brand should be No Bullshit Tennis
I love that 😁👍 # NBST
This is Gold. Thanks.
Happy to help 😁
Fantastic stuff. Now to practice.
Your tips are by far easiest to understand and practical short to the point amongst CZcams channels. Good stuff👍
your best video so far
Big thanks 👍 trying to keep getting better
Thanks so much , it’s very helpful.
Happy to have helped a little👍
This is brilliant. Can you show the same footwork pattern on the backhand side for single handers?
Thanks for the class, definitely going to help me out. I’ve been rollerblading for years and I’ve never thought about it this way
Should be a cake walk for you then 😁 happy to help
Loving your videos Will. So much useful information explained so well. Thank you!
Very welcome 😁hope it helps👍
Excellent. Was just sharing this yesterday. Able to share an excellent video breakdown with them thanks to you. Keep up the great videos 👌🏿👍🏿💪🏿
You welcome 😁hope it helps with your illustration
thanks. i have never seen this tip before!
Very welcome happy to help however I can
well explained! finally someone who knows what they are talking about
Happy you think so😁 hope it helps you
really helpful, like both the skating analogy and the setup with an open stance so you can hit that if necessary.
Glad it helped, Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to cover
Really great lesson here - thanks Will
My pleasure! Hope it was helpful
Great advice thanks
Very welcome 😁 hope it helps
I must say this is good info will use it
That's my goal, I want it to be easy to take in and use. I'm happy you enjoyed it
Great instructions
Soon, this channel will be recognized as very useful and 25K subscribers will be just a fraction of overall subscribed.
Keep up a good work!
Greatly appreciated 🙏 happy to help
excellent video
I THINK THE BODY ADJUST ITSELF AS PER OUR REQUIREMENT IN TERMS OF POWER, SPEED, AND THE HEIGHT ABOVE THE NET . ONCE WE HAVE INTEREST AND OBSERVATION , RET OF THE JOB DONE BY BRAIN AUTOMATICALLY
Thank you for the great teaching.
Could you also cover this topic for the backhand please?
Sure thing!
I fully watched and enjoyed this. This is my first time here. Thanks for your great tips. See you. 👍
Happy you enjoyed it. Let me know if there's something I can do to help your game 👍
Watching this video makes me want to become a tennis ball. They get all the attention, and they don't even have to do anything! 🎾😅
It's a love hate relationship sometimes lol🤣🤣
Effective teaching on using footwork for power on the forehand. Can you show your idea of footwork for power for hitting a one-hand backhand? I feel much of my inconsistency in the backhand is mostly caused by by improper footwork getting to the backhand position and through the shot.
Coach hitting the balls so effortlessly clean power. Deadly on course. Forgot to bring it up you didn’t mention here stay relax on your arm and body as striking the ball. If coach don’t mind I bring this up. Thanks again coach.
No problem at all. I was just paying attention to the lower body in this video
Correct it more focus on bottom part of body. But it was super helpful of coaching. Keep up all the coaching lots of us here are cheap don’t want to pay for coaching lessons. Keep supplying your students.
made sense. Thank you
Very welcome 🙏
Great video

Thanks and welcome to the team
Thx!
Hope it helps
Richard Sherman’s brother play tennis? 🤣😂
Dude got arms like he’s wearing a costume ! 💪🏼 💨
Lol love it
Very useful videos. Please make two videos on (1) how to anticipate where the opponents ball is falling in your court. I often can't judge the ball is falling short or deep. (2) how to prepare Unit turn early not late. My unit turn is often late. Some eye, hand and foot drills. Thx
I think I can do all of that😁
@@ironwilltennis Thx, Mr IronWill! I see other videos, but yours are among the best. Down to earth advise!
Plant your outside foot behind the bounce of the oncoming ball. You can do that by judging the flight early off your opponent's racket.
You are not wrong 😁
@ironwilltennis Nice informative video ! I've been coaching for about 40 years and I think that the most understood part about tennis is the first step.
After the ready hop, I call it Point your outside toe where you want to go.
On outside balls to be super fast you're pointing that toe and then getting your other leg in a 45 degree angle to push off then running to the ball .
I think that people don't understand there are inside balls in the middle 1/3 of the court and outside balls all outside balls ...outer 1/3s ...you're turning and running to ...all inside balls you're shuffling more in adjusting to get the proper distance to the side to move in in a diagonal stance or neutral. ..to move your hip angular into the ball or linear momentum into the ball.
The move your showing on neutral balls is called the front foot pivot on balls you can move into.
CZcams video on the front foot hop on short attacking balls...cheers to you !
One of the Bests vídeos os the net about weight no the strokes
Maybe you can make a more complete would Be great
:)
I can do that
W coach
💪
@@ironwilltennis did you play tennis in college?
@@Alex-xb2un I did 😁
Hey Will there is one more thing I like you to cover in a video:
Heavy, high balls that come our way force us to either move back or hit early. Since hitting it early requires a lot of perfect timing, we almost all the time chose to move back. The thing to remember here is to not get jammed as the high ball requires us to create more space to be able to hit the higher ball. Brian (?) covered this in a video quite well I thought. BUT he did not show this as a real practise. Could you do that ? Thanks Regards from Singapore from Will
You got it boss👍
I feel like the incoming ball has plenty of energy if you know how to utilise it simply by hitting cleanly, even without needing much power from either momentum from weight transfer or swing speed.
Not untrue. But it's limited to what the person gives you
My foot work Suc*. Is there any drills we can work on it ? I am going to work on this. Great video. Can you do a video on loading on forehand, backhand ,volley and serve ? Thanks.
I will add it to the list buddy😁👍
@@ironwilltennis I just subscribed your channel. Looking forward to more good contents. Thanks
Really halpful, thanks, but as so many others, only explaning the forhand side. How about the backhand side. Especilly a one handed backhand?
This footwork is universal. I stayed on the forehand just to keep the video short. But it all applies exactly the same 😁👍
Does measuring with right foot first technique apply the same in inside out or DTL shots as well?
I cannot get power on inside out forehands or down the line backhands…. (My backhand is 2H)
Great video, what's the strings on your Yonex 95?
I'm using the new Head Hawk Power 17g
@@ironwilltennis Thanks!
Currently Im using the Luxilon Alu Power Rough 16L both cross and main... never break, tension 55 to start.
Have you used the Luxilon before?
@@TripAces yeup I've used it before as well as a few of my young players. It's a solid pick for sure👍
@@ironwilltennis Excellent! Subbed to your channel 🙂
@@TripAces welcome to the team
Ok for forwards or two handed backhand but what about single handed backhand ? (except for open stance)
The one handed backhand has a small loophole but in general it follows the same rule. Your allowed to cross your legs a little more simply because you don't need the huge amount of body rotation that you do with a 2 hander or forehand so crossing a little is ok
Thanks
good video- your necklace kept rubbing your mic.
Yea I noticed it in post, sorry about that 😔
No worries. Still a good video.@@ironwilltennis
6:18 onwards, those are closed or semi-closed shots not the open stance skating move
A great video! However, I think it’s the way you transfer your body weight with this footwork. Timing this footwork isn’t that easy lol
Well said 👏
Your follow through is messed up..meaning your contact point is off
all you're saying wrong how to,,,that wat they thought & i did 😖
Why don't you go straight to point, you have too much talking.
