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
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
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.
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...
Well he’s not wrong. Having momentum going into the shot obviously improves power but also improves consistency, unless you move in too far. I also agree with you that ball recognition is huge and a major struggle for rec players. The only way I know to improve this is experience however. You have to see thousands of balls with different trajectory/spin/pace in order to rapidly calculate where the ball will land and how it will bounce. I’ve been playing very often for 6 years and I still get fooled at times. My Achilles heel is reading the less penetrating rally balls and tend to wait for them at the baseline, unless it’s an obvious short ball to attack. The brain has to make a lot of calculations and every ball is different in a match. That’s one reason it’s easier to hit smoothly with great form during a cooperative practice, and then look like a far less player in a match when the opponent is trying to give you difficult balls. Knowing where to set up is far harder than grooving a stroke imo.
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!
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!
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.
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
Moving backwards is a bad habit I’ve been trying to break, and this video is just what I needed! I really think the root of the problem is mental, and that’s why this lesson resonates with me so much. When you get a heavy ball, it’s almost counterintuitive to run towards it because it’s coming at you with so much pace. However, like many things in life, you have to go against your natural instincts to get the result you want. Thanks for this great lesson!
@@KaruesellHQ I also love your tip about focusing on keeping the ball on the strings, instead of focusing on tip speed. Another thing I constantly do is over-swing in hopes of producing a heavy ball--which often ends up in the ball hitting the frame. The irony is that when I focus on keeping the ball on the strings to produce a good stroke (as you taught in this video), I can actually feel the strings gripping the ball more, which ends up producing a heavier ball along with a more satisfying feeling when making contact. These kinds of mental cues are super-useful! Keep up the great content, and thank you!
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!
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
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.
At last I 've found a video describing my problem. Not even my coach could explain why my groundstrokes have been being so inconsistent. Here the answer: I tend to move backwards afraid of the kick of the ball. That's it. I have filmed myself playing and despite of the fact that I have seen the problem on it, I couldn't understand why it has been happening. Man, your videos are great, but this is the one that brought light to my darkest tennis problem!!! (I am brazilian too, man. Do you speak portuguese?)
One day. It is not an area I have extensive knowledge. There are a lot of fitness channels out there. Avoid heavy lifting. More stretching and body weight exercises
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
I've dogged alot of coaches on RUclips because a lot of coaches on RUclips are not qualified to give instruction. These videos will be a major step forward in your progression.
sir,please make a video on serve...i am following your tips from the first video🙏🙏🙏thankyou for making videos ...i cannot afford coaching in high quality academies ...your tips are really helpful 😊❤
@@KaruesellHQ Yeah,the problem i am facing is whenever i serve i scratch my back and i can't get any pop on the serve...and one more thing i want to learn is leg drive...how it works...please make a video on it...it will be really helpful
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.
Thanks bro , your videos are really helpful specially for higher lever , I always have problem with heavy deep balls on my bh specially when I'm on the run , will get off balance easily & can't keep opponent deep back at the court so most of the times I get panic & miss the ball . Do you have any suggesstion ?
I'd like to qualify the advice here: To hold your position on the baseline and be able to move into every shot requires one to develop a wider shot box. If you're a 3.0 player and don't hit chest high balls very well then you have to back up. Additionally, if you're a 3.0 player hitting on the rise is yet another skill to develop consistency at otherwise you have to back up. I'd also add that moving into the ball should really be part of the weight transfer part of hitting a tennis ball. If you don't transfer your weight into the ball, it'll be a crappy shot with nothing on it. If you move back early enough because you perceive the ball to be outside your shot box, then move in/transfer your weight into the ball, then the shot should be a high quality shot. As pointed out, but I'd like to emphasize, there are some balls you will have to move back for. I think at the lower levels, there are just more of these balls because the skills aren't there yet to take a higher ball or hit on the rise. I like the analogy of Dodgeball, move out of the way of the ball, make sure you have room to swing and hit the ball. No chicken wings. The shot box is not right up against your hip.
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 always naturally did this, until last 10 years or so. I don't know why, but being old now I tend to back up too much. I NEED to change this behaviour and go back to my old habit of walking to the ball instead of backing up!

@@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.😀

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

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.

Love the "in and out" drill! Great lesson!
thanks a lot - very helpful, I tend to move back and balls are going down when I hit it so they go out if i hit hard
This is great. Currently working on exactly this. Guilty of backing up!
I'd like to qualify the advice here: To hold your position on the baseline and be able to move into every shot requires one to develop a wider shot box. If you're a 3.0 player and don't hit chest high balls very well then you have to back up. Additionally, if you're a 3.0 player hitting on the rise is yet another skill to develop consistency at otherwise you have to back up. I'd also add that moving into the ball should really be part of the weight transfer part of hitting a tennis ball. If you don't transfer your weight into the ball, it'll be a crappy shot with nothing on it. If you move back early enough because you perceive the ball to be outside your shot box, then move in/transfer your weight into the ball, then the shot should be a high quality shot. As pointed out, but I'd like to emphasize, there are some balls you will have to move back for. I think at the lower levels, there are just more of these balls because the skills aren't there yet to take a higher ball or hit on the rise.
I like the analogy of Dodgeball, move out of the way of the ball, make sure you have room to swing and hit the ball. No chicken wings. The shot box is not right up against your hip.

I always naturally did this, until last 10 years or so. I don't know why, but being old now I tend to back up too much. I NEED to change this behaviour and go back to my old habit of walking to the ball instead of backing up!
