    A good video that almost nobody on youtube does is some tactics and shot selection and patterns of play, theres almost nothing on that on youtube. What kind of shot(s) are best in certain situations, how to build points, patterns of serve + shots after serve, patterns of play to open the court and finish points etc... it would be great if you guys did something like that!

    The hardest shot is the one that is a deep loopy topspin falling fast and you are not in position to hit the drive volley. To catch it on the rise is nearly impossible because its rising so fast and nearly straight up. In those case, I jump up to the point where it’s rise is slower and then I do a backhand overhead swing which forces the ball downward. This works most the times but really depends on if the rise slows down enough at the peak of my jump. It’s not possible to backup because you would need to be behind the fence to hit ball. What would you recommend for these types of balls?

      Try Volkl Cyclone or Signum Pro. Both come in orange, perform great and are well priced. My vote would go to Volkl Cyclone between the 2.

    Still.. it require lot of technique.. not so easy for a beginner because in a match you can add the spin in the bounce too.
    A good footwork will always do the work instead.

    Lol, 2 indian dudes showing how to hit a moonball with no topspin falling on the service line. Just give me a break. That really doesn't require much skill.
    Show us how to hit a moonball with a ton of spin dropping on a base line, please.

    • @5ammy13
      @5ammy13 5 лет назад +1

      Lol that's essentially what they were doing at the end of the video while they rallied. Obviously, the amount of spin while feeding the ball is very less when compared to while rallying and hitting topspin shots! They were explaining the main techniques for us through feeding the ball.

    • @5ammy13
      @5ammy13 5 лет назад +1

      And also, the video talks about high balls. A ball landing near the baseline won't be a high ball unless you are standing very far. If you are standing far, the techniques mentioned here will help. If not, you are not going to be dealing with high balls. You will most likely playing them at hip level or even taking the ball a little early, on the rise, similar to the drill they show.

    • @5ammy13
      @5ammy13 5 лет назад +1

      And the fact that they are of Indian descent has no relation to anything here, so funny you mentioned it.

    • @perakojot6524
      @perakojot6524 5 лет назад

      @@5ammy13 Do you even play tennis? You don't seem to know what high ball means. High ball is not ball that is flying high through the air, but the ball that bounces high off the ground. Ball doesn't have to fly very high through the air to bounce high (example a ball with a lot of top spin) or can fly quite high through the air and still bounce quite low (a defensive slice).
      High short balls with not much spin (exactly the ones they show in this video) are much more efficiently finished with a drive volley. Running to the service line to hit a rising ball is not very efficient and as anyone can actually see in this video more than half of the balls they try to hit on the rise end up pretty long and that's a training session. In a match they wouldn't even mange to put one out of three in the court.
      And sorry but saying one should play high spin balls landing around the base line on the rise before they reach hip level shows how clueless about the tennis you are. Not even Djokovic (that is arguably the best guy at hitting balls on the rise ever) can hit high spin balls landing at the base line on the rise and you think a recreational play should do it? Gee...

    • @5ammy13
      @5ammy13 5 лет назад

      @@perakojot6524 yes I do play tennis. And what I'm saying is that they do demonstrate high bouncing balls during the rally where the balls are hit with top spin. Also the video title says they are demonstrating moonballer medicine. Moonballers do float the ball up. I agree with you that probably rushing to the ball on a moonball as they demonstrate isn't such a good option, but the ball does bounce to an uncomfortable height just over shoulder level. Especially on clay where the ball gets a little more bounce, these techniques can be used. They explained what they sought out to explain. And it may be easy for you or me but as a beginner, hitting balls like that isn't such a simple task.
