  • 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😁

    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.

      ​@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.
      RUclips video on the front foot hop on short attacking balls...cheers to you !

  • @willwahl9225
    @willwahl9225 Год назад +1

    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

      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
