I Agree, its a lot of information, We have 400 students, most of them are beginner to intermediate kids.. we only teach a few of the main footwork in our group lessons and skip the harder ones. As a coach, It is helpful to know them all though, if you are doing privates with advanced students like you say, What I would do is link a tactical situation to the footwork, eg front foot hop links to attacking a short ball down the line.. lateral hop is good for angles, forward transfer good for return...so that way you can make heaps of lesson plans that link the footwork to a real tactical situation. Anyways check out the pro player clips of each footwork, its nicer than watching me demo it :) Have a great day.

Thank you, and i just uploaded a new video for blue level hotshots lessons, although its aimed at educating our aintree customers, it might give you a few other ideas to work on. ruclips.net/video/8O646xzE5wo/видео.html

Hi cgtennis, Thanks for your comment. Yes your video is also correct. It depends on the situation. For a slow & high bouncing ball a semi open stance (like my video) would be the best option, whereas for a faster incoming ball the neutral stance in your video will work better. i snipped up some pro footage showing both variations, I think you find it helpful. ruclips.net/video/9C_OQuWeg5Q/видео.html , Both are correct. Just the stance is different.

Reverse spin is more used going straight back.. whereas backfoot hop is used in the deep forehand cross court exchange or backhand cross court..

@@lukehodgkin3503 how do you know when to use each movement/contact pattern? Does that come from recognising the flight of the incoming ball early and knowing from repetitive practise what one to use. My coach days the ball invites you to go in a certain direction with your body and not to focus on the different variation pivot back foot hop back foot reverse spin etc

For a backfoot hop I prefer to use sidesteps/ shuffle steps back at a diagonal .. hop back at little bit and lift the left knee up into my chest...the the goal being to let a heavy Topspin forehand cross come back down into hitting zone. I wouldn't over think it though..as long as you practice the backfoot hop move itself . You feet will figure out how to get there. Here is a video with some examples.. ruclips.net/video/e55JjO2qDS0/видео.htmlsi=RovutCwdHmeDwFKD. .. you will notice a mix of side steps.. cross overs.. it's always a bit different. Hope that helps.

@@lukehodgkin3503 interesting video. I definitely need to practise these moves individually as when I play I do things incorrwct. Like when hitting off back foot I also lean upper body back and so ball goes out, I need to make sure upper body remains neutral and onpy feet are stepping back bot leaning torso back. Lots of work to be done but I am excited to improve.

shuffle steps when you're out wider because you need the speed they provide to get back. shuffle when you can shuffle back in time

Thank you

Yes, all these footworks are inspired by David baileys method. Ive studied his method for 10+ years and do my own research too. He has never put out a video on return of serve as far as I am aware. So this video is gold. Took months to snip up these matches.

@@in2tennisCoaching I’ve the pleasure of training with him. Incredibly helpful. He actually gave me a usb with a video of each of the 150 moves (about)

Hi Jason Bourne, This is all the bailey method footwork, so check out some of his work too. The Mogul move is like a side step with an open stance, near the singles line ... whereas lateral hop is with a forward open stance (Right foot forward of your left foot), which opens up your shoulders more and helps to hit an angle shot. Also with a lateral hop you can lift your left knee up into your chest for balance. I explain the difference in technique in this video ruclips.net/video/jaNeQEfTT9c/видео.htmlsi=fktXUfBK5FyIxf7_

Hi Jason Bourne, Its just a name given to it by David bailey. Some coaches call it something else. You step into the court with your left foot and you swing the right leg around after contact so it drive your hip and body weight into the shot. There are step down low (drop the knee), sep down high (back leg kick) and normal height. this video here has a good demo ruclips.net/video/jaNeQEfTT9c/видео.htmlsi=UFfKobQ0Zp5i3Xct

@@in2tennisCoachingthanks. 👍🙏🎾

Why is ugly

@@MarkoSimic-nb8do bent arm western grip just looks ugly. compare to roger this is disgusting

It's funny you say that , cos I've been studying and teaching bailey method 10 years to my students. I can memorise it all now. But the first few years was tough. Hope this video helped lay out where each one belongs.

@@lukehodgkin3503 how do pros put all these movement in muscle memory?

Yes you can mount in anywhere. I have mounted one in front of a garage. Check out the new video. ruclips.net/video/mPIdTLdNffY/видео.html

@@in2tennisCoaching I don't think you understand. If the current model was installed at the opening of my garage, it would scrape my car going in and out. But if it was upsized to standard single garage door width and height, it could be left installed and retracted.
