@@paulbutterworth7707it can even be a recreational league. There are various categories of play. He can play for certain rewards, even if he doesn't go pro. Moreover, he can play just for the challenge. That's completely reasonable. His choice.
Hitting with depth is a standard rule. However most players in the park arent close to pro level. I play recreational & most ppl arent that mobile. So ironically playing short is very often an advantage.
I agree. Just to add something you already imply but the video doesn't explain about short balls. For recreational players it drains much more strength than play from side to side. Also technically we (low level recreational players) aren't technically good enough to attack the ball well when sprinting forward - side to side motions are more easy. Basically, any type of variety you give them the more problems they (we) have.
I would say that pushing and pulling (seen at the pro level with drop shots) works well as long as variety is a part of your game. It is a great point that many recreational players don't want to move. I thought Patrick talks about hitting short & low. He was clear about the vulnerability of players. Aggression matters for (we) recreational players. I wish more tactical videos, like this were out there. I would love a deeper dive.
A lot of players are so unfit they will actually complain about short balls as if you’re not playing ‘real’ tennis - ie the tennis they can play. Punish those players
Very grateful for your work! Please know you are changing everything tennis for me over the last 6 months or so. Best teaching available: why, because you are a top tier professional coach of the modern game and willing to share... THANK YOU!!!
These are basic court coverage strategies that pro players do so well. The best part is that recreational players can learn and apply as well. Very good content! 👏🎾
Great stuff! Another good reason to play cross is that the net is lower in the middle and the court becomes longer. So you you're less likely to hit out long or in the net.
From experience, practice points can help with tactics. Drills will help with your mobility and adjusting to different circumstances and rallies can help improve your technique. This is how I do things myself, I don’t know if it applies to everyone
Depends on your level, I guess. If we talk about beginner, learning correct technique is the first thing. Correction of inappropriate muscle memory afterwards would be a hard task.
Thinking about it, for me, having the right technique is the first step. Tomaz from Feeltennis has courses for each stroke at $100 per stroke, and they couldn't be better. Truly extraordinary. Then i have found that shadow swinging is super useful. Then not thinking about technique when i play Except, pronating the serve, and forehand. Which do not happen unless i consciously do it. And finally Concentrate on the tension in the body when playing , nothing else, particularly in matches. This helps to be very relaxed. And stops any forcing of shots.
The answer is: depends on your current level. Are you a beginner? Intermediate? Advanced? If you’re beginner it’s recommended you work on technique alone, don’t even try play matches. Intermediate (most of us here): little of everything, a good coach and competitive matches are way to go! Advanced: here your technique is already pretty good so good movement (needs decent physique) and tactics (mental) are key to get better
Thanks a lot for all your videos! It's amazingly valuable content, I can't stop watching them. I like your way of teaching, with positive attitude and a focus on improvement. Please keep up the great work 🤩🤘
I played 6 years of competitive tennis in middle school and highschool, and my coaches never told me the first 5 minutes of this video... I'm kinda sad haha Great stuff as always :) Bon boulot !
4:56, why cant you go back? i seem to find a lot of recreational players back pedaling here so what would be the play/counter to make the person not coming forward in this position be more likely to lose
If you know common tennis coach drills it might be possible to predict where they will return the ball depending on where you place it. because of the repetition involved in drills the programming is in the brain so could be possible to predict the return.I don't play tennis but was just watching it and wondered if this has been used before
Would you be able to fix the headline of chapter "the impotence of playing deep", I bet you meant "importance" :D thanks for the great work I love your Videos and try to execute them in my matches and training.
Your Onehand backhang grip is difference from Roger Wawrinka etc. It will be better if you show slow motion of onehand backhand of Roger or Stan or Gasque and point out the way they hit. Thank you for yr presentation.
I love your channel. Thank you for posting all these great videos. Do you have a video or tips on what tactic to use when you play and suddenly became tired. I noticed in recreational matches players get tired at different times during the match, which makes them perform bad for a short time and often give another player time to gain back advantage. Kids have this dynamic too. After extreme tiredness the player will recuperate and suddenly start playing well again. More often, it will be too late as another player gained too much advantage. So what are the tips on playing during a few minutes of extreme tiredness?
Always take your time between points and use towels to dry off your sweat between sets, stay hydrated, stay energized with snacks, and try to practice mindfulness to stay in the moment. One other tip I have found to help dramatically is holding your racket in your offhand lightly to give your dominant arm/hand time to rest and only hold the racket when actively playing.
First of all you have the tips already given. What I would do when tired is indeed not to engage in long rally's and if you feel you will be losing points anyway - at least make your opponent tired! The best way to do this is to make them move forward and backwards - it is way more tiring than side to side movements. So play one ball deep, then short, then deep (lob for example). If you are still in the point you can proceed with this.
🏆 🎾Thank goodness, for I see you again Patrick, if I may call you so? Just avery random question? Do you publish tennis educating videos, in Eurpa / Europe? For I find your analisis - explanations - & demonstrations, excellent. To me, the 21st. century's very best, tennis advisor of all!🎾 🏆
🎾 Ye - es, it make s perfect sense? But I used to see in person too, Ivan Lendl, in the 1980s, and he was almost regularly serving from the middle? This boggles me? I wish you would answer me, this question? - T.Y. -
This lesson helped me win against a better fore-hander than me, he wasn't mobile but everytime i played against his forehand he won those rallys, i changed tactics to cross between my backhand (which was better than his) against his which he always slice it, changed a quick direction and he couldn't reach it everytime; he was kind of mad tho.
SX300 is a nice racket, light, doesnt hurt. Slow maybe thats why. Bought a second hand. Manuerable, safe to strike. Good spin. I have TA960 control on mains and Green Tour Polyfibre on crosses. Safety precaution against well talented guys. loved it. Back hand doesnt always become strong. Loved, love dunlop. I guess it is a better consistancy. Has one point where it delibrately bounces. Used a motorcyle chain oil to lube the strings and grommets. Now much pleasent to play. Very Slightly lost power. great other than backhand. Might be like 75 RA cant be bad right. Has a second hand cx200, thats probably what agassi would fall in love with. Good luck, any comments?
You are a blessing for all of as tennis players that don't have a very good coaches. Thank you very so much for your kindness, god bless you☺️ Btw I'm from Philippines
Patrick une idée de tutos…..comme certain joueurs récréatifs, et peut-être pros, j’ai un meilleurs revers 2 mains que mon coups droit, il est naturel…ya t’il des stratégies pour ca ou est-ce mieux de développer son coup droit pour le rendre plus fort que son revers ?
Hello Coach... How do I time the side lines properly... please can u give me a trick??? Because I try hard but my cross court does not really go to the side lines
Good explanation. But there is one mistake. Patrick told that when Matteo plays his backhand long line the ball is coming to the backhand on the opponent but that will have to be on the forehand. I assume that Patrick thinks the opponent is right-handed.
What about if i play with non pro players and their shots always produce unexpected results? Like they shank the ball and it becomes a super short ball. Here i am expecting a deep shot to the baseline and i can't react in time to all these unexpected shank shots. End up losing these points most
I’m 12 and every trainer that I have and had said I’m extremely talented and I’m a left-handed. Is it too late if I go to your Academy at 13 or 14 years old
Low level rec tennis = just keep the ball in play. Always think: "hit 1 more ball in." Lol. Also, hitting cross is not always best depending on opponent. If your opponent doesn't move well or has a weak backhand, I'd say hit it down the line to their backhand as often as you can (assuming it's righty vs righty or lefty vs lefty of course).

Just played my toughest match in my league. I had to remembered what I learned from this video and was able to win my match 7-5,7-6 . Thanks Patrick
congratulations
🙌🔥
Looks like a struggle of a game and importantly do you think you can go pro now? My bet is no.
@@paulbutterworth7707 why are you hating give him time and if he works hard he can definitely be a pro
If he is young

Tennis is a sport of a lifetime. This video will help keep the interest in a great sport of a lifetime.
literally the best game ever. I absolutely love tennis, sadly, my knees do not feel the same way
Hitting with depth is a standard rule. However most players in the park arent close to pro level. I play recreational & most ppl arent that mobile. So ironically playing short is very often an advantage.
yep, rec level players in the world = 80-90%
serious players in the world = 10-20%

Also technically we (low level recreational players) aren't technically good enough to attack the ball well when sprinting forward - side to side motions are more easy.

Yes- making unfit rec players run up and down the court pays off eventually 😂

Can you do one on what is quickest way to improve, is it matches, drills, shadow swings, technique? 🙏

It’s not too late. Jannik Sinner started tennis training at 14
imagine Nadal watching this while doing his rehab exercises
Low level rec tennis = just keep the ball in play. Always think: "hit 1 more ball in." Lol. Also, hitting cross is not always best depending on opponent. If your opponent doesn't move well or has a weak backhand, I'd say hit it down the line to their backhand as often as you can (assuming it's righty vs righty or lefty vs lefty of course).
