@TNToncourt I wanted to just say hello and thank you for supporting my channel! If there’s anything that I can do to support your tennis goals let me know.
You are too kind! I really appreciate that! I hope to get some more ideas with my travels to Florida and Australia in the winter/spring to check out some academies :). If you have any ideas please feel free to let me know!
@@teachyourselftennis Hey Ben, how do you drive it when the high ball is a baseline shot? Seems like it would go in the net if driven with a horizontal trajectory like you are supposed to when close to the net?
Sz Ki great question. I’m not sure if I’m answering correctly so let me know as I think I understand the question. If the ball is not higher than the net, it takes a very precise shot to drive a ball as you would have to aim very low over the net. That is why you should only do this when the ball is high up such as between your shoulders and waist. I hope that helps!
@@teachyourselftennis Thanks for the response. Maybe I overcomplicated my own question. What I was trying to find out is how do pros hit a winner on a high baseline ball? We can see them hit flat / drive through on shoulder high balls from behind. Where do they make contact to keep the ball in?
Very helpfull videos Ben.down to the point.Easy to follow.Keep them coming.This deserves more views.i.I can play from base line quite well but struggle to finish the high ball from mid court distance.i.ve noticed im not the only one.Maybe do video how to play those situations out.
Hey coach what a great drill. Might even try this after my pre-match warm up. I always look forward to your helpful videos and smile. Thanks much for helping me play better! Jeff
Happy Holidays! I'm proud to let you know that I have finally finished my book that I've spent years of research and writing to finish. I think you will find the information useful as I wrote it in the lens of someone wanting to improve their tennis game through technique, mental toughness and fitness. You can check it out here: www.amazon.com/dp/1693364743?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 If there are other friends of yours that may be interested, please pass on the information. I appreciate it!
Nice drill dude.....thanks for taking the time to share. Im sure (speaking as one of your many subscribers) that we really do appreciate the work that you do!
Thanks for the video. This is a great drill for particularly intermediate level players to also develop racket lagging hence improving racket head speed (with very loose grip).

Ben - gr8 stuff, diligently thought through; please continue to explain how to achieve goals in higher level technique by using common tools; self fed balls, wall and other creative tools the solo participant can use to improve their game; this perspective sorely lacking in the tennis community...
Thank you Ken! I"ll be trying to keep it up. I do see a lack of info for doing things on your own as well. I guess you need a tennis instructor to get better haha!
Can't wait to try it! Thanks for all the great videos.

Great drill
Thanks for watching. And I love your username :)
Very underrated tennis channel! I've been to most and this is one of best. Unfortunately most rec tennis players are stubborn and do not change

Sent a fee member your way to hopefully learn something. Although it is mostly a lost cause with 99% of rec players

I appreciate that! I'll be adding more with that extra motivation you gave me. Thank you!

Ben, another great video!

Thanks man! It's been fun to make these and it aligns with my goals for tennis. Share the knowledge and let's all enjoy the game :)

Great lesson, Ben!

Tony Ta of course happy to help!

Hey I use a semiwestern grip. Can I use drop feed with this grip or can I only really use the continental with self feed?
Definitely semi western. That’s the best way to generate spin and power :)
This is a start but it's not going to address the timing and rythym issues with hitting a live ball. And that's where people get messed up.
Great drill
DeeCee Dubya thanks for watching! More to come soon!
