One thing that helps me with the higher loopy moon balls is keeping the elbow high and not brushing up, but going across the ball using side spin to bring it down. Thanks for the great content.
That’s a strong mindset to change from RH to LH … Kudos ….. Just wondering if you are doing it on your serve as well, ( which for me would be the hardest transition )
Thanks. I didn’t have much of a choice though 😂 The serve is the last piece for me. And it is for sure the hardest. I completely took it for granted how hard to ball toss is to get consistent. Because of then it them makes the biomechanics hard to work on. It’s getting there slowly thougj
@@TennisHacker might i suggest developing placing the ball into the swing and the swing itself separately. hang a ball from some paracord and work on swing technique. once you've identified your ideal contact point. start practicing placing the ball at that point. then combine the 2. Have huge success with beginners to 5.0 players doing exactly that. Keep up the great content Coach!!!
Record yourself and watch it back asking the question - whats the first thing that goes wrong? Then work on the until it’s fixed. Most of the time it’s either late preparation or spacing issues. When you get up to the 4.5 level it starts to be more timing related.
Thanks Coach Richard for sharing another excellent video. Maybe on another video, you could elaborate on the settings used (Spin, power, height) to program the ball machine for the multiple type of drills you have mentioned. To be honest, very few rec players like to train, and most just want to play. Thus, having a ball machine - and finding a court where they allow them - BECOMES the hardest hurdles to become better tennis players. Any tips/tricks? Thanks.
My tip might sounds strange, but I find a lot of players where I live complain that other people don't want to practice. Then I chat to the player they are talking about and they also complain that no one wants to practice. They both seem happy to practice when I suggest it. So sometimes it's a case of just taking the initiative and just telling people you'd like to do drilling wit them. If people generally won't... it definitely makes improving a challenge. Not sure where you live / play but i find most places either allow you to use a ball machine or have one that you can borrow.

serve was more difficult to transition for me
Thank you, I’ve been having a hard time knowing what to practice

Funny that you still hold your racquet with your right hand when talking!🤗 Congrats on your progress
Haha. I still do all my demonstrations right handed. Explaining stuff while doing things lefty is more than my brain can handle 🤣
@@TennisHacker Happy Holidays!. Looking forward to more videos from you next year.
