    What's your favourite thing to work on with the practice wall?

    • @mariorengifo4700
      @mariorengifo4700 2 года назад +2

      My favorite thing is work in my unit turn and hit the ball with my "legs and my hip" when I practice with the wall. Hit the ball with "my legs and my hip" means that my arm and the racquet come forward as a result of pushing the ground backward and turn my hip 90 degree very quickly (as the boxers do when they thrown a hook). One year ago, I started hitting the ball in this way one time and stop, then I steeped up with two time in row and then three. Now I can hit the ball between 8 and 10 times in a row with all my force. I use an old ball. In this way I has created an conditioned reflex. I try to training with the wall at least two time per week, one hour each time. It is fundamental for me.

      Nice, sounds like you are doing a great job. Often when I teach people how to use the hips I teach them how to punch for that reason.

      I practice at the wall every single shot possible: forehand and backhand drives (topspin, slice), volleys, half volleys, overheads, serves, dropshots, tweeners, lobs.

    The wall is my favorite practice partner ! I’m there now , practicing at my club’s racquet ball court. I put in 1-2 hours of practice… doing everything- forehands, backhands, serves, volleys, overheads, slice , approach shots , down the line , cross court, inside out , etc.

    My favorite things to work on with the practice wall
    before I have watched your video were
    1 to lose weight
    2 to get sweat
    3 to release my physical energy
    4 to cool down
    Etc., I have done these for more than a decade.
    Until recently I stopped “hitting against the wall”,
    as some pro told me it’s not right way and should stop hitting against
    By watching your video and learning the correct ways
    I will start working on with
    the practice wall , I am sure it will help me to improve
    The tennis skill as well
    Thank you

    I loved using the wall for practice. Used it to practice hitting both the forehand and backhand as hard as possible. Also, always served and volleyed against the wall to increase my hand quickness at the net. Since I relied on a big serve, 120+, big forehand, and quick feet around the net it worked for me. Was about a 6.0 player back then, early mid 80's

    • @Koa-Anatolian

      When I started playing tennis in the 80's lI hit against a wall or back board as we called them as much as I could if I wasn't playing. I loved it back then and still do. It's a very versatile tool and fun.

    I work almost every day on the pratice wall (i don't have the "right" to use the indoor courts - same city than you ) - I work essentially on my pressure grip, in order to get the looser possible, on forehand and double handed backhand as well - for more effortless style, and prevent injuries on my elbow

    The wall is all I have these days, and I'm on it almost every day. It's a great workout, but I noticed some of the same issues and came to some of the same solutions this video discusses. The main thing is the speed of the return from the wall, which led me to hurried and careless and repetitive pounding of the ball in return. I now do a lot of form drills without even hitting the ball, and when I do, I self-serve and practice one, two, or three stroke patterns. Looking forward to seeing what happens when I get back on the court with real partners.

    • @TennisHacker
      @TennisHacker  2 дня назад +1

      If the wall is all you have, the you just have to do the best you can with it. Self serve is a great way around the limitations.

  • @Coaltal45
    @Coaltal45 Месяц назад

    I believe there is fantastic video of Federer practicing against a wall. While there are many valid points here... IMO most of them are solved by letting the ball bounce twice or even three times, especially if your beginning and working on timing and footwork. This gives you time to set up and work on proper technique. Also, using colored tape to mark zones to CONSISTANTLY hit forehands and backhands with correct technique/follow thru and body momentum. The wall is absolutely the best training tool, as it never gets tired or runs out of batteries. And ...The wall doesn't lie!... If your hitting the wall incorrectly, the ball will be all over the place.

    • @TennisHacker
      @TennisHacker  Месяц назад

      I use the wall regularly myself and it can be a great training tool. But as I explained in this video, it creates certain challenges and isn't optimal in many cases.

  • @Chubzdoomer
    @Chubzdoomer 2 месяца назад

    Like you, I prefer self-feeding and aiming for different parts of the wall. When the ball bounces back, I pick it up and self-feed again. Rinse, repeat. No rush or having to worry about retrieving balls from the other side of the court. The only downside is that it's virtually impossible to know how deep the ball would have gone had the wall not been there. It's still a great way to self-feed 100+ times with minimal time/effort, though.
    I loathe rallying against the wall because as you demonstrated in the video, the pace makes it virtually impossible to employ proper technique (following all the way through with your shot, then returning to the ready position, then doing a full unit turn, then performing the takeback... etc. there's absolutely NO way to do all of that if you hit the ball even remotely hard, because it will come ricocheting back in such an incredibly short amount of time).

    If you use the wall in the wrong way you will get a bad result. 1. Don't take the ball on the rise. Let the ball come down to your strike zone. 2. Use shufflesteps to get the right position. Remember that tennis is getting faster and faster.
    The wall in tennis is like the boxing bag for boxers. Gives strenght to your shots and stamina.
