    This is so valuable. Always been told to do this but now that I started trying to actually CONTINUOSLY watch the ball closely, it's like something opened in my game. Takes so much focus...I guess it's something you have to get used to.

      Late reply. Actually, I'd love some more drills that I can do on the court by myself: feeding myself balls, using the wall, etc. Any games or challenges that I can use when I get to the court early before a match. Thanks.

    This is probably one of the most important videos I've ever seen. I've been obsessed on trying to watch the ball for over a year but what you said abut watching the ball approach the racket and watching it leave the strings was so key for me. Thanks you so much.

      Top Tennis Training - Pro Tennis Lessons Hi Simon, thanks for asking. For me, it's two things - 1. my footwork as it relates to the ball bouncing. I find myself often backing up and then my momentum takes me either backwards or to the left as i try to give myself space to hit a forehand.
      2. volleying -
      when to approach
      How to approach
      where to stand on the first volley
      where to stand on the 2nd volley
      where to hit the volleys
      How to minimize getting passed
      Stretching for wide volleys - how to anticipate better - not just split-stepping
      How to anticipate a lob.
      Thanks much for your tips. Again, this video was a game changer for me and it is the reference by which I know if I'm playing well.

    You left out the most important component of the stroke that all coaches leave out: mind on the ball. You can watch the ball and not see it, as when your mind is on your opponent’s moves. Here is the scenario: Your opponent hits a ground stroke from his baseline, as the ball is coming to you, your opponent moves into the net, and suddenly your mind focuses on your opponent’s movement; that is to say, you get distracted by your opponent and you take your mind off the ball, i.e., you take your focus off the ball, so that you don’t see the ball and you miss-hit or fail to hit an aggressive ground stroke.

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  5 лет назад +6

      A very good point.
      However higher level players tend to be able to deal with what you're talking about. They've been in that situation thousands of times so know what to do to hit the ball well.
      But at club level what you describe happens very often.
      Thanks for watching.

    Two important reflexes operate in "watching" the ball. The vestibulo occular reflex which fixes the image of the object in the centre of retina and the vestibulo spinal reflex which is responsible for contraction of muscles of neck and head in allowing the eyes tracking the object. Certain eye and head exercises improve these reflexes.

    Hey Simon and Alex, I loved this video! I do have a question on when to watch your opponent. Much of the time, I try to watch the ball constantly like you said but then when it flies to the other side, I keep watching the ball. Is that what I should do or should I instead then focus on the opponent and then the ball when they hit it?

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  2 года назад +1

      In general, you’ll want to focus more on the ball at all times. That gives you all the information you need.
      Watching the opponent won’t do much, unless you’re reading their stance etc
      Even then, you’ll be able to see that if you’re tracking the ball as they make contact

    Great video. I come from a martial arts background where breathing is also an important aspect. I wonder if it would be a good excerise in addition to following the ball with your eyes to coordinate that with your breathing also. So exhaling when you are hitting and trying to follow the ball just as you would when breathing. Maybe it is too far fetched to do that. Just some food for thought coming from an intermediate player.

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  5 лет назад +2

      If you can work on doing both of those things at once, you'll be onto something!
      I often start by tracking the ball for 5 minutes, then follow that by focusing on my breathing for 5 minutes and then try to join them up. It takes practice but the benefits are great!

    Great video. I have noticed that at the adult club level 4.5ish, this skill is perhaps more important than any other. The player with bad strokes due to not having any real instruction but has the natural innate talent to hit the sweet spot every time will beat a lot of players regardless. They will look like a 3.5 while beating them down. This skill might very well be the most important in the sport below the 5.5 level. Touring pros all have this as a default skill.

      The aim comes from the racket angle and swing path. Watching the target will not help you at all with the aim and cause you to hit off centre.

    I find to ignore the ball as it is traveling away from me and to instead focus on the body language of the opponent. I know when I am focused on the ball because I can recall the spin. If I cannot recall the spin after the point, then I feel I am not focused enough on the ball.

    Prob a dumb question, but how do you track your opponents position while you're focused on tracking the ball?

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  7 лет назад

      You can track your opponents position on court even when truly watching the ball by peripheral vision. If I track the ball off the opponents strings, I will see the ball flight but also where on court the opponent is and moving to. When the ball bounces if you are behind the bounce then you will see the opponent. When the opponent gets you on the run that's when you might not be able to track where they are and that is why many players ghost in when they hit a good shot that forces their opponent to run wide.

    A friend told me to try track the seams of the ball. When i think about it works, but im just lazy and use to forget about it. :P

    What racket is SIMON using?
    Is that his regular day to day racket?

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  7 лет назад +1

      I'm testing out some prototypes. This is a new one, will try it out for a few weeks then try out another one. I have already tested out 2 different frames and will keep testing for a few more months. In this video you can see me using another prototype - ruclips.net/video/RYB8ixTOSAE/видео.html

    well. I was hoping to get advices to help me actually watch the ball (an "how to". not a "when to"). anyone ? Because for now, I KNOW that I have to watch it, but I simply can't ; my eyes loose the ball while it's travelling (and so my head is not even turned towards the racket when hitting the ball), I'm in the search of eye-exercices to help my eyes muscles to watch a bullet at 200km/h (ok, 100). thank you anyway for the vid

    how much forward would you say sam groth tosses the ball when serving

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  7 лет назад +1

      It would depend on the serve he's hitting but when we were filming first serves he would normally toss the ball around 1-2 feet inside the court but as he uses his hips so much to stretch over the baseline it probably makes it look further than it actually is

    I'm not sure why you put Murray's clip in - He almost never watches the ball at the point of contact

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  7 лет назад

      I put the Murray clip in because it's a great clip to see how intensely he's tracking the ball and the contact zone.
