You are a real good coach. Not just tennis coach, but coach. You hear what people think and teach each player differently. Thank you and take care of your energy as it is very special!
This video make me remind the short preparation for 1st return. In additional, open stance and then forward moving step. Thanks for your detailed and advanced teaching skills.
AGAIN, Patrick is the best out there! I go even farther. You DON'T SWING AT ALL for first serve returns. It's a ping pong shot. Guiding it into the right spot will benefit you MUCH MORE than power. IT COMES FAST. SEND IT BACK FAST!!! by taking it immediately right at waist height, on the rise, and as with a volley, think of hitting it WITH YOUR BODY MOTION, in other words with your momentum and body turn, NO SWING AT ALL WITH THE ARM. Remember- the server us STILL OFF BALANCE! Get it back quickly and it doesn't even have to be very good, just well placed, to put the server at a disadvantage, and THIS WILL DRIVE BIG SERVERS CRAZY!!!!!
Je reviens juste de l'entraînement et j'ai réussi 95% de mes retours grâce à ces conseils ! Merci beaucoup, c'est clairement la meilleure chaîne sur le tennis 👌
Thank You Patrick, I’m 54 years old, played tennis at Miami U. Now I need to learn how to play tennis again. Please, would you share seniors tennis lessons ? I do appreciate it. Cheers
Damn i did not know i could learn so much from this video! Thank you for putting out for free those great lessons! I wish i could afford to go to your academy though ^^
It seems like dropping the racquet head is what Patrick is trying to "unteach" for the return. Like the volley, the wrist is stiff. Any stretch feeling in the wrist means you lose time and could be late on a fast serve.
Patrick can you explain your last short video of giving the ball a haircut? If you do this at the baseline don’t you run the risk of “hooding” the ball?
very useful. it seems that it is useful to return fast serve. But as club players, we do not have many chances to return very fast and big serve. How should we return slow serve or serve with moderate pace?
@@finnarhelger7471 My FH grip is eastern, my 2HBH grip is continental on dominant hand & eastern on non-dominant. All I can do currently is chip returns on both FH & BH side (with a continental grip). I want to drive some of my returns but I am too slow.
Amazing that this young man just could NOT make himself stop "swinging" at the ball (from the wrist anyway), no matter how much you worked with him. The only time he actually managed to was when he held his own wrist. I'm the same way when it comes to keeping my head down after contact. Just CAN'T force myself to do it! It's very weird, unbelievably so. I wish I knew the psychological explanation. I wonder if that "cures" you from it, or if you will go right on ahead doing it? Probably the latter... SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
probably its not psychological its more about muscle memory and to change muscle memory you need to spend hours of training proper movement with full focus to change it
Those returns pro players actually using short swin like coach said. Not drive as he said, but wrist and following just like that boy did it in 3:10 😀👍
He is turning his shoulder. He is taking his racquet back and then accelerate with his wrist. This is the first student I watched cannot follow the instructions.
Hes not understanding the lesson. More shoulders - less hands -- then push / block the ball! Hes doing the opposite -- no shoulders -- all hands. Improves a bit towards the middle / end -- but still -- turn your shoulders and block!
@@Naomi-er4mlthat's true some people things take time to set in but once they do the light goes on they improve rapidly. Incorrect habits are hard to break is why adults are harder to teach than youngsters whose minds and muscle memory is more fresh. A lot of other factors for example athletic ability, coordination etc
Great videos, but please have your crew use a stationary camera on tripod, or at least a professional camera gimbal. The shaky cam makes it nauseating and very difficult to watch these videos and detracts from your world class instruction. Otherwise, thank you for sharing your content to advance the game of tennis for players and fans alike.
“First serve you want to return in. Don’t hit a winner.” The chess of tennis. That’s the gem of advice right there.
No shit, I always thought you should hit it in the stands, out or in the net. Wow!? Hit it in the court? Amazing content
tennis is chess
The amount of value in this video is great, thank you Patrick!
You are a real good coach. Not just tennis coach, but coach.
You hear what people think and teach each player differently. Thank you and take care of your energy as it is very special!
Patrick is a great guru, who knows exactly how to keep a player motivated even during their mistakes.. I wish if I could afford him :)
How much is he
@@mariaquintanilla7718 call his academy for the prices.
@@r3tr0n17 eh I'm good I'm probably still to broke to afford him. But thank you
@@mariaquintanilla7718 599€ for a week-end 2h morning lesson + 300€ if private lessons (not sure it will be with him if you're not top notch)
This video make me remind the short preparation for 1st return. In additional, open stance and then forward moving step.
Thanks for your detailed and advanced teaching skills.
Very helpful, can we have a follow-up about what to do with the second serve (lots of spin/kick into your body)?
Run away
very informative video. it's not always about power shot/returns. it's about precision of your shot.
the relationship with his student...amazing!

Such a great opportunity to learn from one of the best coach in the world, Thank you Sir
Agassi was/is fantastic at this type of return. It makes way more sense why now. Thank you.
Thank you, Sir! ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this awesome lesson... I can't wait to get in the court and adjust.
Thanks so much for these free lessons of a Master. Greetings from Rome Italy
the guy is so good, i wish someone taught me like that about 20 years back hehe
I will have my 10 year old boy to learn from this class. great material.. thank you ..
Excatly what I needed.. Thank you so much Patrick
Love how these are the most informative tennis videos on RUclips.
Thank You Patrick, I’m 54 years old, played tennis at Miami U. Now I need to learn how to play tennis again. Please, would you share seniors tennis lessons ? I do appreciate it. Cheers
Gosh, this session is priceless
Excellent instructions and content as always wanted to know the proper technique for a good BH slice.
This is great video. I guess I'll work more on returns than speeding my serve.
Thanks you Patrick for your teach videos, from Chile....
I hope I don't forget this next time I play. I will try to think of the return as a whole other shot than a forehand. Thank you!
great technique and helpful. Thank you very much!
This is the best one. Super
Thank you so much. Ive been struggling with returns
me too
Very good Coach !!! 👍👍👍🌷🌷
Muy buen video, Coach Patrik.
This is a fantastic video. Cheers from Australia. :)
Thanks, this is so helpful!
Cuando se aplica la lógica , todo se vuelve más sencillo y el aprendizaje se acelera. Gracias...
Great coach
Damn i did not know i could learn so much from this video! Thank you for putting out for free those great lessons! I wish i could afford to go to your academy though ^^
Great video!
Amazing lesson, thanks Patrick! I'll try today. What about the secret for second serve return? Thanks again.
He said it. You have more time to prepare a full swing.
Thanks Sir, learning a lot from your videos. 🙏
Great video
Good stuff
Drive means block ur wrist nd Hit means relax ur wrist......great
Super pentastic maindbling xtradinari sar
Good attitude students and willing to try their best not like some spoiled kids trying to pretend they don't understand or their mind somewhere else.
It seems like dropping the racquet head is what Patrick is trying to "unteach" for the return. Like the volley, the wrist is stiff. Any stretch feeling in the wrist means you lose time and could be late on a fast serve.
This lesson will probably turn me into an NTRP 4.5 from 4.0.
What would be the rule for a 1st serve devolution playing doubles ?
Coach is boss
Novak could be watching this while eating his gluten free pasta lunch
Patrick can you explain your last short video of giving the ball a haircut? If you do this at the baseline don’t you run the risk of “hooding” the ball?
Wow!!!
Is this still with a forehand grip? Or a volley grip?
Oulala la prise de coup droit !
snaps wrist and does it completely wrong
Patrick: yeesssss!! 😂
very useful. it seems that it is useful to return fast serve. But as club players, we do not have many chances to return very fast and big serve. How should we return slow serve or serve with moderate pace?
like Patrick said at one point: when the serve is slow and you have enough time you can prepare & accelerate more
Is this technique using a continental grip?
Where is the double thumbs up/like button?
Which grip to use while waiting? Continental or forehand or backhand?
There a different options.
What grip do you use on your forehand and backhand? And do you play a 1hbh or a 2hbh?
And how good is your slice?
@@finnarhelger7471 My FH grip is eastern, my 2HBH grip is continental on dominant hand & eastern on non-dominant. All I can do currently is chip returns on both FH & BH side (with a continental grip).

I would run circles around this kid. I wish my parents were millionaires. Self taught for the win!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wrong grip? what's he going to do if his opponent serves to BH at high speed?
👍👍👍🎾🎾🎾
How is he doing now?
Those returns pro players actually using short swin like coach said. Not drive as he said, but wrist and following just like that boy did it in 3:10 😀👍
👍👍🏻👍🏾
Single hand back hand
looks like a tsitsipas return
You mean the Greek tennis player? Hummm….I don’t think so
Just Drive it
Omg is this Roger Rasheed son?
mehr gelernt als im training lol
He is turning his shoulder. He is taking his racquet back and then accelerate with his wrist. This is the first student I watched cannot follow the instructions.
Ool la la
Step in block
I see him still flicking...No time to flick on a fast first serve...
Perhaps this student should get volley technique down first
I don't think he was driving his forehand. There was too much whip. I'd be impatient with this pupil.
not a gifted student
For real, Patrick is clearly saying don't swing, but my guy was not paying attention I think
Hes not understanding the lesson. More shoulders - less hands -- then push / block the ball! Hes doing the opposite -- no shoulders -- all hands. Improves a bit towards the middle / end -- but still -- turn your shoulders and block!
Not the quickest of learners
some people have learning curves where they start off making a lot mistakes but then improve faster than the average
To be fair, some of patrick’s explanations are hard to understand if it’s the first time hearing of these adjustments
@@Naomi-er4mlthat's true some people things take time to set in but once they do the light goes on they improve rapidly.

Said the genius!
@@jamesduffy5019 now you know!
This kid just doesnt get it, it's annoying his parents are spending 8,000 for a 30 minute session and he keeps flicking his wrists

This student is terrible
the image i find useful is: tabletennis. play as if in tabletennis - no wrist. just reaction time and stability.
