great video. even anybody who tried it know the benefit of this all out swing excise, we don’t get to see it performed by the competitive players. so i appreciate the contribution. i recommend doing the same for service practice. whenever i fell off, directly hitting 100% serve to the back wall will remind me of correct service motion.
Idea is not to drop the ball at the same place but make them move and repeat the same thing again and again. Stupid non tennis Comment 😅 also I don't endorse the wet ball drill😅
wow such an inspiring video. i just bought my racket yesterday and today I just started playing. I really need to watch a lot of videos and try to imitate and copy these techniques. cus i got no coach nor friends who play tennis. gotta fight and keep working hard. 🔥🔥🔥 such a really long way to go
The only mistake with my game was not getting trained by a coach. I learnt tennis on my own and believe me I was a great player, could easily beat anyone but still I lacked few things as I wasn't coached at all.. So if you ask me Get trained by a good coach coz that'll make you confident about your shots(mentally).
@@khanrakibrk yea for example my former trainer first trained his son who actually became a top 100 player. After that he started his own club in my home town and when i was 9 i started to play for 5 years. After he passed away i lost my love for tennis and now after 4 years of pause i started again and im suprised how his training methods and the style that he teached me is literally burned into my brain so that i could easily play competitve again.
One thing my tennis coach thought me since day one is to put your racquet in ready position right away before the ball bounce in front of you and it made be a better player, cus at first i used to do that upward swing first when positioning to hit the ball on forehand
I used to train like that with a former pro player who was my coach. Very simple, very intense. But there must be also more tactital trainings if not you don"t know how to play in matches.
Great drills!!!!! 1 question???? Why using wet balls? To make the ball heavier? Would be fine with poly strings but would kill the multifilament strings.
We're just starting our first tennis RUclips club in Korea. We're gonna have to practice like this. Thank you. I'll practice it like this and upload it. I can understand it in my head, but I don't think my body can match it.
I actually felt exhausted at about 0:54 just by watching them. Imagine if I weren't a sporty myself... I guess that's what makes the difference though. Many bravo!!!
A lot of people come to tennis"later in life" ..teens or twenties. The best thing I found to jump start them is too relate similarities of what ever they've been good at. Baseball, football, soccer, basketball, boxing , volleyball, hockey, even dancing or playing the drums have many interrelated skills . It invariably makes the student familiar with similar movement and pattern.
La verdad yo jugue atp rank Ed. Itf college in Nebraska. This kids honestly they are very good. Probably pro level. So the coach is good. I'm taking this video for my players. Thanks.
If possible...i would like to see some more drills intended to help improve technique...like that very brief second where he is drilling the kid to serve and push up and off his legs over the mini hurdle and land on his front foot. I loved that. The other 99% of this video is watching someone drop a ball and someone hitting it. Anyone can do that. Not to be rude...but i don't need to watch a pro coach to know to drop a ball and let my client hit it.
It is extremely difficult to give pace and power to such dropping balls though, Andre Agassi was practising this exercice a lot back when he was a pro , but I got your point that we would like to see hoz to achieve technically this type of forehands and backhands
I think the balls were soaked in water to increase its mass which caused it to bounce lower ... I think in tennis it’s vital to have ur knees slightly bent as you heat the ball it’s just something I’ve noticed.
Coach brian dabul can u help me to improve my ability and train me hard and can u give me a advice that can I do myself while I'm not busy...plss help me to improve my game while i'm still playing tennis
i used to play competitively as a junior. i believe i couldve played at the college level, but bc i played since i was 5-18, i was felt sick of tennis and didnt wanna play. i will always regret that decision haha. but now im 24 and all we have in my area is team tennis and it is just so laid back and nothing like the intense focus you gotta have when playing singles, ranked tournaments.
Matthew Phanphengdy yeah bro Ik what you mean, I’m 17 I started playing when I was 6 but at age 13 I stopped for like 1 year because I felt bored for some weird reason, I always regret that decision because I could be a way better tennis player then today, I’m 17 and I play UTR tournaments competing against the best kids in the country and I’ve become so obsessed over tennis that I only wear tennis brands, I only watch tennis on tv and RUclips and I play it when I don’t have tournaments or practices to go to haha, my UTR is currently 10.5 I’m trying to keep getting it higher so I can make the college team because this is my last year of high school tennis so I want to hopefully get noticed by scouts while I give it my all best in the last part of the season hahaha
when i was around 12 i had a nagging pain in my hips and ended up having to surgery and pins permanently drilled into them. just before that i had zonals for my state too. but after the surgery thats when i started to lose the mental drive. its good that youre obsessed with tennis though, now that im older it just sucks to know that i couldve tried harder. with a utr that high i think thats well good enough for college. not sure caliber of school you could get into, but definitely enough to play college. wish you the best man
Matthew Phanphengdy oh dang bro I’m so sorry to hear that dude, And thank you so much dude! Like playing college is my goal right now, I mean going pro is wayyy to hard haha but if I can get my UTR to 15+ then maybe I would get a chance haha, but I’m doing this awesome thing that you have to be a 10 utr for but idk if you heard of the Indian Wells tournament the bnp pariahs open but it’s a tournament every year that happens when all the pros go, well this year they let me be a hitting partner to some pros and I will tell you, you learn so much from them haha like they’ll also give me tips in some stuff I make mistakes in and I listen really carefully to the advise haha but yeah I just really love that program and I’m gonna start doing it every year at the Indian Wells tournament haha
Thanks Erik, you’re 100% incorrect. I used this drill with more than 85 players that I trained and they never get an injured, you should know when and how to use it!! See u soon buddy
Erik Lönnrot ..... dude, you are soooooo wrong. It’s an excellent training method. The added weight helps you to understand what every part of your body is doing in relation to the ball.
Federer dijo en una entrevista reciente que su mejor tiro en toda la historia fue el que te hizo a vos en el Us Open 2010. P.D que titulo vendehumo el del Big3 :P
Great Video, I love the drills. Just my two cents for all the "pros" in the comment section (not saying i'm any better :D), When I think of high performance/professional tennis, everybody already has technique and thus this kind of drilling becomes the most important. Once fundamentals are mastered, high level tennis comes from higher intensity/efficiency of footwork. Some people talk about changing technique based on pace and spin of opponent, but technique SHOULD NOT be changed. If technique is already efficient, why change it? Instead, adjust better with higher level footwork to use the same efficient swing on any ball that comes. Second, high level play requires hard, fast-paced shots. It is fine to hit long or wide slightly. Learn to hit hard without holding back, this will really help one to loosen up that arm. Then, adjust by aiming lower, adding more spin, or whatever it is you need. Playing timid and pushing may work for 3.5 or 4.0 players, but not on the pro tour. Finally, I am sure these guys play practice points as well as this drilling to really dial in their game and make the needed adjustments.
how do you mean adding more spin? either you hit a ball with spin or not, how can you add more spin :) thats something that amazes me for 1 year now, when coaches say add more spin......its stupid! its not something you should think about at all....and showing that stupid brush up motion! its terrible! tennis is full of false truths
I would not say false truths, simply different perspectives. One such statement you actually touched on, "either you hit a ball with spin or not". In my opinion, it is impossible to hit a ball with no spin, every ball will have some amount of spin. However, I do agree the brush up motion is 99% of the time useless and does not produce good training.. Production of spin has many factors and depending on individual technique and these factors may vary so I am not talking about technique as I stated in my earlier post, rather athleticism. The ability to make the racket head move faster at the proper timing will "produce more spin". Finally, during practice, not thinking can be dangerous. If a coach says add more spin, rather then deny the possibility of adding more spin, think of how it is possible to add more spin. Thinking leads to change, however I do agree that during point play, one should not be thinking about technical topics, one should think about tactical and mental topics.
MrFunkywhale well from my short experience i noticed that good technique means you are able to repeat the same motion on almost 98% of the balls coming and missing is just the matter of probability its impossible not to miss but focusing on technique during a match or just any other bit of motion.....is disasterous. look at the pros when they start loosing the points: their focus has shifted from playing tennis to just 1 thing ...i am loosing ....where when you look at RF he never falls that much.that guy is always focusing on the right thing:)......ok athleticism helps you achieve results and if you are tired you will soon get focused on that that you notice you can't do better and whatever you try doesn't go your way but that has nothing to do with adding more spin. you should simply have awesome technique to have a lot of spin..you cant add more spin its stupid remark.......most bad players can't do it even when just free hitting:)
I don't know if you read my post. I agree with most of what you said. Here is what i said, "I do agree that during point play, one should not be thinking about technical topics, one should think about tactical and mental topics." I said you have to think IN PRACTICE, not during a match. Secondly athleticism plays a big role in spin, tightness of muscles, ability to accelerate the arm comes from muscles as well, using the lower body to get under the ball properly, that is all athleticism and physical conditioning. Finally, in terms of the spin discussion, think of a driving "flatter" deep shot (that still has spin) versus a short angle "spin" shot(more spin). Maybe we will simply disagree on this matter though. You can call my statements stupid all you want, but that is your opinion.
athleticism is more visible in movement of the whole body , not arm....how you position yourself to the ball, and speed of your reaction...so that you have fast reaction when ball surprises you....that is crucial part , becasue without good body movement no way to have good technique ( beeing in the best possible possition to the ball, good distance, not too close not too far, and that is when your brain calculates but if you deliberately think about it your focus just moves away and you spoil it...thats why playing points is crucial)
hrabmv .....LOL. You’re funny. Women have to hit like this in order to be competitive. Haven’t you seen Osaka and her generation of players hit balls,,,, they’re all phenomenal hard hitters. You won’t get anywhere by hitting dainty soft balls at your opponent dude. You need big BIG shots to get anywhere in tennis.
if you say so, i dont see RF and men hitting that way...its becasue women are slower...so they think that hitting hard is the way to go :) becasue they cant do better....look at this Radwanska, she is such a soft hitter and managed to be top. Its total delusion if you know what is 1 magic ingredient....i say precision and mind is 50% of the game or more then heavy hitting, basically look at Ostapenko, she won just 1 grand slam title....and she played like 10 finals! she will never win becasue she has gamblers style..she doesnt have a brain for the game , she is big gambler! and that doesnt pay off in big moments...becasue you have to have great feeling for when is the time to risk and when its time to take medium risk, heavy hitting is delusion :), you should be able to know when to go risk on and not miss (hit the ball heavy)....and you cant learn that with this drill :) tennis is a game of probability! BTW look at zverev he is heavy hitter too, these guys can hardly do a proper volley , they make begiiners mistake, its a totaly pitty when you see a guy who cant finish the point that is almost won :)....all those new generation players are clueless when they have to apply feeling on that racquet :).... the game is just baseline game....etc..so the player who has more skills in all areas has better chances to win, then just drilling 1 aspect of the game: hitting hard lol
hrabmv .... Federer is from another planet (LOL). He makes it look so easy and effortless. His shots are precision extraordinaire! These kids don’t have a chance against him. At this age, a lot of their effort is physical ... and that’s expected because they are young. And as for their brain and mental toughness, it isn’t there yet. But I could be wrong. I agree, you need both brain power (to be mentally tough) as well as physical prowess. Also, training (or drilling) is different from playing a match. These kids look great during practice, but, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be successful in beating their opponent. You need to have a certain edge... a “special something” in your tennis game to stand out. Federer has that special something. Even if I were to train and drill and practice for a hundred years, I still wouldn’t be as good as Federer ... because I don’t have that “special something” in me. (LOL)
i have :) i am sure if i played tennis 10 years 10 hours per week i would be almost like Federer lol....but defo better then Williams :).....to me it doesnt look so hard to do it at all, just takes time to handle it to a pro lvl, it takes 10 years, but even after 5 years of 10 hours per week would be amazing. ....that edge comes from investing 10 000 hours into playing matches, not 10 000 hours hitting dead ball :)...... then you develop a feeling, ....the moment in a match is different from practice becasue feelings are different! and the only way to master those feelings and the game is through playing matches that matter...no other way....drilling the shots is ok to the point that you have great technique, but if your technique is not great but sets you for limitations then repeating the same movement doesnt bring much then frustration!....frustration that you have put in so much work and results are bad........its something similar to playing chess but here decision making must be in a split of a seconds, some great skill gives you an edge in time...to make better decisions....
Cool video. But I haven't seen Federer, Nadal or Djokovic here =)
I think the coach here is training these players but not in this video
Me neither. Maybe he teaches them tennis
🤣🤣🤣
Read the description
I saw Rafa hiding behind a tree
Man, these guys probably have exceptional shot selection.
hahahaha
@ARLS Productions you do realize what sarcasm is right?
The drill is not about shot selection. Smh
it's what took them to the top of the ATP tour six years later.....
I’ve been doing these dropping ball drills and My strokes have improved 1000 percent !!! Thanks coach.
great video. even anybody who tried it know the benefit of this all out swing excise, we don’t get to see it performed by the competitive players. so i appreciate the contribution. i recommend doing the same for service practice. whenever i fell off, directly hitting 100% serve to the back wall will remind me of correct service motion.
The coach is able to drop each ball exactly at same point-- this is called perfection... Kudos🙏
He has been on the atp tour for god sakes

@@khanrakibrk believe me if ur been trained in ur childhood by a good trainer u can play tennis for the rest of your life

One of the best tennis drills video using Spanish feeding techniques for more advanced players❤❤❤🎾🎾🎾🎾🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
That one lefty near like the 3:30 part his backswing is HUGE
Isn't this the guy who Federer hit that amazing tweener against? US Open? ... I liked his style of play, classic lefty technique :)
Naphish Paulraj my first thought
Do you have a link?
Just type federer vs dabul
My first thought too
They are both average at best know mate
WOW.. nice methods.. thank you. HI from Indonesia
Great drills!!!!! 1 question???? Why using wet balls? To make the ball heavier? Would be fine with poly strings but would kill the multifilament strings.
To practice low balls .
Really want to have such a good coach since I was a kid.Unfortunately I am 20 years old right now.
so dynamic!!
This guy played Federer in a GS match , i think we should listen to him , not the silly comments below.
Garrett Vinson yeah it does
Louis Cyphre I agree
@Garrett Vinson Loving tennis and staying all your live dedicated in , of course...

amazing coach. wish i traind earlier
i learned more here than in 50 clips tks a lot
We're just starting our first tennis RUclips club in Korea.
We're gonna have to practice like this.
Thank you.
I'll practice it like this and upload it.
I can understand it in my head, but I don't think my body can match it.
Damn that is some amazing hitting
Excelente drill, buen juego de piernas, coordinación, tiempo, distancia y altura👍🏻

This is the most beautiful tennis practice I’ve ever seen
Awesome drilling, I like it
Wicked forehands
very nice video! thx!
Wow, his players are so explosive. Makes me want to hit the gym and get more power from my legs
Yes more power to smash the balls in the "out" like the guys in the video 😅
Eso es !!
Intensidad !!
👏🏼👏👏🏽
Wow,.powerful!
I actually felt exhausted at about 0:54 just by watching them. Imagine if I weren't a sporty myself... I guess that's what makes the difference though. Many bravo!!!
Good job !!
A lot of people come to tennis"later in life" ..teens or twenties. The best thing I found to jump start them is too relate similarities of what ever they've been good at. Baseball, football, soccer, basketball, boxing , volleyball, hockey, even dancing or playing the drums have many interrelated skills . It invariably makes the student familiar with similar movement and pattern.
Great drill
I wish you continued success in the field of tennis and youtube thank you
You're such an amazing coach.
“Uan boll, uan boll” hahahahaha cracks me up 😂
Following your coaching tips
Excellent
La verdad yo jugue atp rank Ed. Itf college in Nebraska. This kids honestly they are very good. Probably pro level. So the coach is good. I'm taking this video for my players. Thanks.
Except the wet balls I guess to keep players low I used some
And when attacking leg behind
two johns hitting like a maniac.
Lindo entrenamiento!!!! lo recomendaré a mi profe, saludos desde Loja Ecuador

Whenever I hear their groans, I get reminded of fighting games. 😂

Супер тренировочка!
What is the purpose of the wet balls. I would think that might cause arm injury. Thanks.
Super video 👍
Interesting. Never seen the wet ball exercise before. Makes sense.
Hello sir
Ultimate practice 🙏🙏🙏👍👍
Good training where is that place for I can go training with u guys
awesome
Where are exactly Fed & Nad
....all I see are kids from ....somewhere 😒
Their forehand loops are huge
I think the balls were soaked in water to increase its mass which caused it to bounce lower ... I think in tennis it’s vital to have ur knees slightly bent as you heat the ball it’s just something I’ve noticed.

Coach brian dabul can u help me to improve my ability and train me hard and can u give me a advice that can I do myself while I'm not busy...plss help me to improve my game while i'm still playing tennis
Footwork!!
I love it
I think Dabul was also the number 1 junior in the world. He couldnt really transcend that in the pros n
but was stll good
Juniors doesn’t really translate to pro career because everybody is pretty much at the same level.

try to play it om .5 speed.. you will see who has the best hit. i think the one who wares grey, 2nd the black and third the stripes.
These guys are hitting out a lot...
I only have coach like that he also like this
I used to train like this but without the drill with the water
lol. But 100% effort, for sure.
Chances are really low. They are prepared to do it. It's not a first workout for them. They are warmed up really good, so their bodies are ready.
Thanks Erik, you’re 100% incorrect. I used this drill with more than 85 players that I trained and they never get an injured, you should know when and how to use it!! See u soon buddy

This is ball throwing machine.

Refrescante
Why did you put Federer, Nadal and Djokovic on the title?
You are doing great job Bryan
The first time I did this drill, I almost threw up and passed out. Needless to say I survived....😓
Hello I have a son who is a tennis player and we're in Korea(14years old) now. Can I have some more information of your academy?

Finally, in terms of the spin discussion, think of a driving "flatter" deep shot (that still has spin) versus a short angle "spin" shot(more spin). Maybe we will simply disagree on this matter though. You can call my statements stupid all you want, but that is your opinion.
athleticism is more visible in movement of the whole body , not arm....how you position yourself to the ball, and speed of your reaction...so that you have fast reaction when ball surprises you....that is crucial part , becasue without good body movement no way to have good technique ( beeing in the best possible possition to the ball, good distance, not too close not too far, and that is when your brain calculates but if you deliberately think about it your focus just moves away and you spoil it...thats why playing points is crucial)
awesome, thanks coach :)
Excellent training coach. You guys have Good and proper techniques.
to me a lot of them take too big swings...like girls do...
hrabmv .....LOL. You’re funny. Women have to hit like this in order to be competitive. Haven’t you seen Osaka and her generation of players hit balls,,,, they’re all phenomenal hard hitters. You won’t get anywhere by hitting dainty soft balls at your opponent dude. You need big BIG shots to get anywhere in tennis.
if you say so, i dont see RF and men hitting that way...its becasue women are slower...so they think that hitting hard is the way to go :) becasue they cant do better....look at this Radwanska, she is such a soft hitter and managed to be top. Its total delusion if you know what is 1 magic ingredient....i say precision and mind is 50% of the game or more then heavy hitting, basically look at Ostapenko, she won just 1 grand slam title....and she played like 10 finals! she will never win becasue she has gamblers style..she doesnt have a brain for the game , she is big gambler! and that doesnt pay off in big moments...becasue you have to have great feeling for when is the time to risk and when its time to take medium risk, heavy hitting is delusion :), you should be able to know when to go risk on and not miss (hit the ball heavy)....and you cant learn that with this drill :) tennis is a game of probability! BTW look at zverev he is heavy hitter too, these guys can hardly do a proper volley , they make begiiners mistake, its a totaly pitty when you see a guy who cant finish the point that is almost won :)....all those new generation players are clueless when they have to apply feeling on that racquet :).... the game is just baseline game....etc..so the player who has more skills in all areas has better chances to win, then just drilling 1 aspect of the game: hitting hard lol
hrabmv .... Federer is from another planet (LOL). He makes it look so easy and effortless. His shots are precision extraordinaire! These kids don’t have a chance against him. At this age, a lot of their effort is physical ... and that’s expected because they are young. And as for their brain and mental toughness, it isn’t there yet. But I could be wrong. I agree, you need both brain power (to be mentally tough) as well as physical prowess. Also, training (or drilling) is different from playing a match. These kids look great during practice, but, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be successful in beating their opponent. You need to have a certain edge... a “special something” in your tennis game to stand out. Federer has that special something. Even if I were to train and drill and practice for a hundred years, I still wouldn’t be as good as Federer ... because I don’t have that “special something” in me. (LOL)
i have :) i am sure if i played tennis 10 years 10 hours per week i would be almost like Federer lol....but defo better then Williams :).....to me it doesnt look so hard to do it at all, just takes time to handle it to a pro lvl, it takes 10 years, but even after 5 years of 10 hours per week would be amazing. ....that edge comes from investing 10 000 hours into playing matches, not 10 000 hours hitting dead ball :)...... then you develop a feeling, ....the moment in a match is different from practice becasue feelings are different! and the only way to master those feelings and the game is through playing matches that matter...no other way....drilling the shots is ok to the point that you have great technique, but if your technique is not great but sets you for limitations then repeating the same movement doesnt bring much then frustration!....frustration that you have put in so much work and results are bad........its something similar to playing chess but here decision making must be in a split of a seconds, some great skill gives you an edge in time...to make better decisions....
You are my coach.
You know for a fact that these guys aren't moving like this when there's no cameras
why does Tennis look so easy. I know it isnt.
A bote pronto veo al de la indumentaria gris con muy buenas maneras.
