If you can read this you have an impressive scrolling game.

Great points! As a coach I get this question a lot. My reply always begins with, 'it doesn't matter so much if you use a closed or open stance, but always be sure to begin your stroke from a balanced position with strong base.' This can be either open or closed, and, as you illustrated here, depends on the situation.
OK thanks for clearing that up for me Ian...and saying my name right.
Gwenyth Cook Happy to help/get your name correct!
Thanks! Great tips. One year into lessons my coach started to work various stances on my backhand. OMG did that ever mess me up for a few months. I would work it in weekly lessons and leave saying: "she is messing up my shot." But now being able to use my topspin backhand in just about any scenario is a great asset. Glad I stuck with it. Good to hear you echo her lessons.
Jimmy Coffill Good to hear!
I'm currently a ~4.5 tennis player and i was introduced to tennis with a singles mindset of getting an overall game. In singles, I have no problem coming to net when I am able to set up the point and volley balls away. I know the ball is coming my way so I can anticipate where it is going
My issue is that when I play doubles, i tend to freeze and am not able to react fast enough to the ball/anticipate where the ball is going. Can you make a video on how to improve netplay reaction at net? and possibly provide a few drills?
This is a great question -- I see this issue with a number of high school players, I look forward to Ian's perspective. One thought I had is that sometimes having another player helping you on the court makes you passive -- you don't want to look like a ball hog and/or you tend to rely on your partner to get it. My advice: get greedy! Hit everything you can get a racquet on.
John Dye Thanks for the tip. I really like to get greedy as I want to attack every single volley, but I know that my partner will typically have a better vantage point. If I'm paired up with a smart partner, I usually dont have this problem because i'll end up going in after i realize my partner got me a setup ball, the issue is that I usually dont get a smart partner that plays the court/player. so im stuck, shading and making sure im covering my angles rather than focusing on the opposing net player make his move
Phillip Chen I say look at the players movements more so you can predict where they are hitting. Once you know where the ball is going then focus on the ball only.
Jesus Hernandez i forgot to mention... i am visually impaired... nearing the border of legally blind.
Hi,ian,can you please create a topspin video for beginners?
JIAN NING ZHOU Good topic, I'll add it to my list!
Another great video.
Ian, i really feel awkward when doing my double handed backhand. My coach teaches double handed as the basics. should i switch to doing single handed forehands or learn double handed first then learn one-handed after?
Good point -- one size (stance) does not fit all situations. I like how you illustrated several different footwork patterns for several different types of balls. The one caveat I would add is that I discourage players from ever leaning or falling backwards -- it reduces balance/power while also making a difficult shot even more challenging. So when a ball is coming fast, I usually say "stand your ground, don't let me [or the opponent] push you back." Your thoughts?
John Dye There's no doubt that "standing your ground" is best in most situations, John. It doesn't give time or extra space to your opponent. However, its a much more difficult shot to hit. Some players need to give themselves that extra time to hit a reasonable shot back. However, at a certain level of competition if you don't have the ability to take the ball on the rise your results will most likely suffer!
how about semi-open stance?
Funny thing about youtube...I don't think there is a single video out there that does not have at least a few thumbs down ratings. This is an excellent instructional video by a professional who obviously knows what he is talking about and yet at the time of this writing there are 3 thumbs down votes. Wow! Thank you for posting your vids for those of us who appreciate the value of your lessons! Thumbs up!
51Dss I makes no difference what the topic is, how good the presentation is, or anything else.....there will always be thumbs down, haha. Just comes with the territory. Thanks for the kind words!
Great video on a subject that has been wildly complicated!!! There is NO STANCE for every shot across the board from the baseline. Tennis is very situational. Excellent video Ian!!!
Rocket90 Thanks!
My theory is that the closer to the middle of the court I am the closer my stance. I use more opened stance on the corners so I am able to open up my shoulders and not be restricted to only down the line.
Thanks your suggestions helped me a lot
Okay, good tips on how to approach a backhand return. How about some actual demos in addition to words?
i Catanese The video was about footwork patterns.....I demoed three of them......?
Hi Ian,
I started Tennis 6 months ago at age of 24 which is definitely quite late for the game and that used to pull me down "how unlucky I am to had never been introduced to the game in my childhood". Lately I have been thinking what about coaching?
I do fully understand that this job guys is not easy but referring to my country, the game is very unpopular and might be possible to introduce the game to kids and late starters . I have passion to make living out of Tennis. Do you think it is a reasonable idea for me to work on the path of coaching beginner? Can you guide me to some tips on how to make my way to this dream?
AlColonel Shoot me a message using the "contact" page on my website and I'll do the best I can to help.
Thank you a lot for the useful tips and informations very appreciated! :D
You're very welcome, Golem. -Ian
truly thanks a ton for your superb videos which r absolutely free... great wwork ... thank you coach ...k
i agree with what you said, but i think the title of the video is misleading
i dont care what sport we are talking about, there is no 1 way to do something, when you are on the defense. you do whatever is necessary at the time
however, when i look at the title, i am expecting an answer to the question of "which footwork is best", when one has the choice
for example, it used to be that we were taught to use a handshake grip on our forehands, and hit with a "closed" stance. by that, i mean the front and back foot are even distances from the sideline - somewhat what you are calling a squared stance.
there is never a time when you want the front foot more closed than a squared stance - that simply takes away any power one has
however, nowadays - just about everyone hits the forehand with a very open stance, and a somewhat westernized grip.
so this is what i was expecting of your video, based upon the title - what sort of footwork should i attempt to perform, when i am in control of the point.
Excellent video. Thanks
didanhtennis You bet
Where are you located Ian?
Carter Ingram Milwaukee
