I think this may be my favorite video. Finally got to see my man swing!
Hope u got ur hard on
He has a lil game on him
Thank you for going over some important tennis etiquettes on the court. I wasn't aware of some of the ones that you covered. Love your channel.
That was informative and fun... I've always felt tennis etiquettes should be taught in coaching sessions just like you learn forehand and backhand... Great job, tennis spin 👍🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Of all the years I’ve know tennis spin, this is the first time I’ve ever seen him hit a ball! That’s ont thing to check off the bucket list. Hahaha!
Wow. This was great.
As a recreational player my pet peeve is when players enter or exit the courts and leave the gate open. If you are playing on the court with the gate, invariably you will end up retrieving a ball that goes through the gate.
The boy said thank you after he got hit by the ball lol 😂 13:12 .
He must be Canadian 😄
A good video many club players need to see.
Great job keeping the videos entertaining! From in the tennis shop equipment reviews to on court etiquette and tennis instruction Really well done! Very creative.
Thanks for making this! Much needed info to be out there
Fantastic weather where you live! Great quality acrylic hardcourts too.
Video like this was very needed. Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼
that is a beautiful location.
Much needed...Much appreciated.
how about a whole ethiopian family standing behind me on the baseline? waiting for my court while I play
I did not know about the point confusion situation, to go back to a neutral score that both players remembers and redo...learnt something new now, as i learn something everyday...thanks
Lol if we did that at my club we'd never finish a game, always at least two people forgetting the score
Useful words in a civilized world, great video.
I will hold a court myself for a little. I can hold it with warming up or serving, etc. There are loopholes to etiquette but I'll be darned if I was waiting ten minutes for my guy to show up and just give up courts only to wait even longer when I showed up on time.
Talk to your guy, he must arrive on time.
I struggle with this one. I'm always timely and my buddy is always 5-10 minutes late. When public courts are hopping, we might be out of luck if we played by his clock. On the one hand, my buddy needs to be responsible, but on the other hand I was there first. What if I just wanted to practice my serve? Am I obligated to give the court up?
Maybe the fair compromise is to talk to the people waiting and say,. "My buddy should be here in 5 minutes, if not the court is yours."
I'm of the mindset if a court has people on it, I try not to boot them off or wait and instead drive elsewhere.
But, of course, sometimes I go alone to a public court to practice serves, I go with my basket of balls for about 30-40 min. And sometimes when players arrive, they ask me politely "how long will you use the court?", I respond them politely how much time I´m left. I´ve never had a problem with anyone. Sometimes, when I left the court, they´ve asked me to play doubles or my phone for future play.
@@miguelbarahona6636 no, people are late for reasons unexpected sometimes. I'm that guy sometimes too. Traffic or just other delays. It happens and other people waiting on a court can be understanding instead of demanding I leave because I showed up before my guy did. I got here first, not them. They don't just automatically get to take a court I grabbed first because there are two of them. That's insane to me. If they wanna make a big deal about it, they can, but it never happens because almost nobody reasonable has this attitude. I just refuse to believe you should give up a court or have no rights to it unless you and your partner are there.
Too much pressure for both people to show up perfectly on time too. It's a dumb custom and I don't believe in it and I think this video is overdoing the etiquette a bit.
@@radreviewz9482 Let's talk about the reverse case. You and your friend arrive to the court, and there is a player waiting for his guy to arrive. He says to you that he won the court and you"ll have to wait. Please your anwer.
As a brand new tennis player looking to join some league play soon, this is definitely helpful! Thanks!
Thank you very much!!!!
@ 16:35 - I always call out the score after every point so all players on court can hear and know where we are in the game. This responsibility should be that of the server or their partner as the score has an impact on how the server delivers the next serve.
You'll always get 3 other players who are either deaf or brain dead and dispute the score even you had called the score out after the last point.
agreed, I don't like players that don't call score after every point...
What I find interesting is that the higher level you are, the more likely you are to not follow tennis etiquette by grunting loudly like many pros and the huge number of cheat line calls in college tennis
can't believe grunting loudly is against etiqutte. tennis players are too soft
@@Yungdil we are referring to excessive grunting where it messes up your partner where he cannot hear the sound of the ball. We are not talking to normal grunting. A good example could be Maria Sharapova, where you can argue it's a bit artificial. I think that's what it is referred to here.
@@Sokeresa if maria does it on every hit it no longer becomes artificial lol. most of these rules only applies to country club tennis players. all these social rules and nuances makes the sport of tennis seems so fake. takes the passion away from the sport
@@Yungdil in what moment do you need to grunt playing tennis? lol, as if it was gonna make u tougher or whatever youre implying
Zhar never implied it made me tougher lol. Telling any competitive sportsman to be silent during playing makes the sport lose its flair.
Great video!! Nice!! Good job guys 👍
8:44 Holy sh*t who’s serving 150Mph ? 🧐 I’d hate to play that guy 😓
I'm afraid I didn't see that
Good job guys! Congrats
If I had a dollar for every time someone came running on our court to get their ball. Oh man.
Yeah? Would you have like $20?
If I had a dollar for every time that happened to you I’d probably be able to afford a club membership 😂
Good and important video 👏
One topic that perplexed me as a beginner was spare ball management, especially in doubles. It took me a while to learn that 1) the server should always hold two balls on first serve 2) any dead ball should be cleared off the playing surface before starting the next point (i.e. if your first serve goes into the net and s is slowly rolling back to the baseline, grab the ball before taking your second serve) 3) if you send a ball over the fence, play out the game before fetching the ball (i.e. don't interrupt play to run off court) 4) in doubles, the partner of the server should hold the third/fourth ball (i.e. receivers should pass spare balls to the server's partner)
Thank you Mr. Spin
Rocking the Wawrinka shorts!
This we call "savoir vivre" of Tennis! Greetings from Kefalonia Island - Greece
This vid needs more microphones
Getting butthurt over no "sorry" on a netcord is the dumbest thing about tennis.
a point is a point no matter how it comes...
This should be in all tennis 101 class
This needs to be shown to the young kids wannabe kyrigos's of the world... But maybe taken a bit further. Spitting on the court... Outburst heard 10 courts down... Phones constantly going off...playing passed your court time.... And my new favorite one of playing your music on court like it's cardio tennis...
...hahahaha
god i hate when people play music like wtf. or kids / teens / even adults just having loud conversation on the court or just messing around. like there's a whole ass park right next to the court use that
Music on the court? That's a first for me, must be annoying as hell.
@@Siloguy yeah... For me it's always the young kids...really ridiculous. I came out one USTA practice with my 4.5 team and one of the young recently graduate teammates was blasting his Bluetooth speaker to his choice music.. At a pay facility nonetheless.. I kindly asked him if he journeyed to all 15 courts in the facility and confirmed that his choice music selection and volume was to their liking. He responded with our guys were ok with it.. Where I said... "I'm not ok with it.. And I'm the Captain" oddly enough, he's a tennis instructor and they should know better.
A million thumbs up
I always call the score in an audible, clear voice before serving every point in matches. Played an area final last week and my opponent, when receiving serve, kept calling the score. I warned him once but he persisted. I called the referee. Unusual case but definitely a no-no, etiquette-wise. The referee hung-around for the remainder. Anyone else experience that kind of thing? In over 40 years of tennis that was a first for me.
Im not sure what you referring exactly, but you mean that the server should announce the score only, and the receiver can't call it? I'd rather be sure of what the score is before every point, than argue later on or replay points, and i don't care who announces it
Agree! The server always states the score.
Also, If you cannot hear the server announce the point, ask them to speak up -- do not say it when receiving. no excuse to mumble or skip it plus it eliminates confusion
@@Sokeresa It’s the server’s prerogative to call the score, not the opponent. My opponent on that day was preempting my call of the score every time. Calling the score for me, as the server, is part of my match rhythm, therefore he was upsetting (deliberately?) my rhythm. I always call the score as I approach the baseline to serve and before I even bounce the ball in preparation to serve. He was calling the score before I even came close to the baseline - and that annoyed me.
I might be guilty of one of these. Maybe two. Possibly three. Four at the most.
I once played in Vietnam. The players got the court by riding their motorbikes over the adjacent courts and later took the same route home. Courtside, a table was stacked with food and beer and there was plenty of eating, drinking and loud conversation during the games.
About a million breaches of etiquette, but it sure was fun.
Very few etiquette infractions in Chiang Rai Thailand. So nice to not have to put up with all that BS on Marin County tennis courts.
I always tell my opponent that I’m only calling balls out if they are clearly out. Anything too close to call I play as in. I expect the same on their side. I’d rather keep playing than start getting chippy with someone about crappy calls. I also call out the score before the start of each point, or the server does.
I agree with a lot of what you're saying (always giving the benefit of the doubt to the opponent(s)--if you're only 99% sure it's out, you call it in (i.e., on your court, when "in" disadvantages you)).
But I'm not sure I'd start by telling the opponent that that's *your* rule, like you're some special genius who came up with the idea of "benefit of the doubt." That's the rule, period, and you should give your opponent(s) the assumption that they know the rules. Now, if a problem develops during the match, like they're trying to call a let instead of giving you the point, then you give them a bit of education. But not before. Before is douchey, like it sounds like you're expecting them to "just keep playing" rather than call a ball out that's close, but decisively *out*.
(That's like how my dad plays, and why I won't play with him any more. He lectures everybody on "his" take on rules & etiquette as though he invented them, when they're just black-letter concepts straight out of the book.)
Great coverage... however, on issues of balls being played with? Is there any? In particular when 3 or 4 pc of balls have been laid out for a game... should players always check on them as being complete esp when transition to the next point or server occurs?
you are the man
Was this filmed in 1990 or 2020?
You should be an actor😭
Yeah Harry incredible acting skills
Can they please make hawk eye cheap so all the tennis courts can have it . I absolutely hate calling shots in those situations
The bad calls are just as important as the good ones. If you are a good tennis player, one or two bad calls shouldn't mess things up in the overall outcome of the match.
10/10 acting -ign
We use “replay point” rule for dubious line calls or other situations like double bounce, in our club. Also I’m not sure that staying with ur leg 🦵 on the ball is polite 😃
If the player(s) who would be advantaged by a call can't make the call with certainty, tough shit, they must give the benefit of the doubt to the other side.
Replaying (that's called calling a "let," by the way) just because the (losing) player couldn't decisively call the ball out is TERRIBLE etiquette, and was invented by toxic men who can't handle losing (that's about 50% of casual male tennis-players). It's b/c of that type of man that I quit playing tennis.
@@FirstALittleBackground sometimes your brain 🧠 make a mistake and show u wrong image. Or calls r so close to the line so it’s hard to say it in or out.
Sure! Then in those situations, the correct solution (and the one mandated by the rules) is to consider it "in", not replay/let.
7:23 at a club-level, if a ball is very close to the line on my side, I prefer to call it in. At the level I play, people do not manage to play that close to the lines, so it makes sense to give it in whenever that happens - a few times a match.
Unless I see separation between ball and line I don’t call it out.
@@Tennisbull-match-statistics it makes sense. You are being nice and fair and I see it also as a challenge to return such difficult shot.
That's different that what they're talking about at 7:23, though. There's a difference between "if I can't decisively see, 100%, that it's out, it's in" and "if I had a perfect view of it, and it was 100% doubtlessly out, BUT NOT BY MUCH, I'm calling it in." I am always a fair line-caller and give absolutely every benefit of the doubt to the opponent(s), but I wouldn't want to play under some time of unwritten house rule where we expanded the whole court by 1 cm on each side. That's a very different thing (and bad for people trying to learn placement). Clear rules are fair. Don't be afraid of clear rules.
Brilliante in this time
When 1 thumbs up isn’t enough
15:12 hilarious to watch a guy educating us on attire 'etiquette' when he plays tennis in a hat like that 😉😆
Nice venue
throw those damn ball can lids in the trash, not all over the court
I wish everyone who plays tennis watched this video
I have that same burn bag
this is an awkward video, but somehow made me watch.
Wish I saw this video 9 months ago when I started. Just about got into a fight in my beginners course when I ran behind a court to get a ball while the other people were in play. Luckily my coach stuck up for me and calmed me down becuase I was pissed the guy was mad at me. She told me why he was mad and I calmed down.
You’ve got bigger problems if you’re ready to fight just because someone isn’t happy with you or something you’ve done. Take the coaches lesson for everything else in life!
@@jerryyoung6494 you don't know the whole story and I'm not easily made mad as you assumed. The guy came from the other end of the court and gets right into my face yelling at me about the etiquette. My coach told me he is known in the club as a hot head.
kmcclarney if he came from the other court and got in your face then you’re right. I’d feel the same
@@jerryyoung6494 yeah I was more shocked than anything. I was there to have fun and now a guy is in my face.....it was so weird. I understand why he was mad but he took it too far and that was why I was pissed. But I'm having fun now. About to do my first mixed 7.0 doubles. My coach says I'm a 3.0 now
you should never be behind anyone playing, that is dangerous...you need to wait...the reason why the guy gets angry because this is most thing that happens on public cts and its just etiquette not to walk behind when someone is playing...
Great video Harry, hey what about serving before your opponent is ready? This gets very blurred particularly in doubles. My idea is if I'm distracted (ball coming on my court say) then I'm entitled to have the point replayed. The best prevention here is to make eye contact to my mind. Am I right on all points, let me know please. Thanks Harry excellent video.
Common sense and respect goes a long way. And definitely don't mess with someone else's point. I hate that. And always get that person's ball back to them so it's not an issue. Don't take everything too seriously and have fun. That's why we play. Unless you have money on the line or some sort of skin in the game it's all about fun and enjoying the game.
This is An Awesome vid, thanks. But i have remark! Some pros practice without shirts in front of crowds! It is true that on club grounds you should observe their dress code, but i have been told thay on public courts you can ask your partners if they don't mind you talking your shirt off, and I'd they don't care then it's ok, also if someone else joins in an adjacent court at a later time you should politely ask them too the same, and if anyone minds then you should put a shirt, but if no one minds then on public courts you can have your shirt off. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. Again, this is for public/park/high school courts, not paid clubs.
Also it wasn't addressed the tantrums etiquette! C'mon, that's the one i came for in this vid.
@Tennis Spin... 3:50 If you're wearing a glove why do you think it's suppose to be safer?
This video is perfect 👌🏻 Shared it on my club’s whatsapp groups and hopefully the cit chat 💭 around the courts will stop 🛑!
How about someone catching a ball before it goes out and not letting it land because "it was clearly going out"?
Excellent. Every so often I come across those idiots.
10:35 Sorry, not sorry!!
Is this a new episode of curb your enthusiasm?
Where I play at, public courts in norcal, people stop the point if there is a loose ball anywhere near the court. Also when I yell "come on" it is always after a great winner by myself, usually a 90mph forehand. There is always constant chatter at public courts, you learn to block it out and focus. I guess we have less etiquette in the East Bay. Would still like to see TennisSpin guy hit some actual balls, to prove me wrong as I still think he is probably a 4.0 hack.
The absolute worst is when someone asks, “are you sure”.
No Bill I’m not sure, here have a set.
Every time I hit someone with the ball I say sorry, I'm never really sorry though.
And the Oscar goes to: TennisSpin Guy, lmao
Maaaaaan if you got a match you take that court.
Lol I can see a lot of people sharing this video to their opponents
11:07, hit net or not, I'm not saying sorry...no need to...a point is a point, no matter how it comes..
when i play my mate i call a ball that's clearly in out just to see the look on his face and then have a giggle only do it once a month or something is just to much fun seeing his face, he does it to me calls my serve out before it hits the ground and i chip him then start laughing and cant serve any more LOL tennis is meant to be fun is the goal i think :)
You really need to make your videos louder. I can never hear any of them while watching on my phone. Don't be afraid to have louder recordings
When you're crossing a court that someone's playing on, I feel it's much better to cross at a jog at the net. Going around the back of the court is more than twice the distance.
Hi Tennis Spin. It would be interesting to analize some tough calls that occur on clay courts, where you actually have the mark of the ball. 1) Player A sends a high lob to player B. Player B lets the ball bounce (the ball falls near the sideline) and then makes an overhead, and he misses in the net. Then B looks at the ball mark (where the lob landed) on his own court, and says that the ball was out, and marks it. Who wins the point? I think that A. Real court case.
The rule says if you see the ball out you have to stop play! If you don't stop play and try to hit the ball, that automatically means you said the ball was good. You can go back and look at the mark, but it don't change anything, since you played it. Same goes for serves and all other balls, if you want to call it out you have to stop play or clearly yell "out" so the other player knows to stop play. This is also true for let balls. If a ball comes to your court and you don't stop play right away calling "let" to repay the point, you cannot wait to see if you win or lose the point and then call let if it is not in your favor for example.
Guys and gals.
What is the best babolat racquet?
The one YOU play the best with.
True lol
Seems like most people generally like the Pure Aero (BANANA). But if you have to ask this question after all the TennisSpin videos, you should probably go your local pro shop and ask some questions pertaining to your specific style of play and strokes.
No Angell racquet in Kojak's hand. That Clash is seriously junk in comparison. As I thought, guess there's no sales in using a racquet you don't/can't stock.
Nvm....at least your review was solid.
Cheers folks
2:03 What the hell? Don't clubs in the US have a court booking system?
Not if it’s a local neighborhood, apartment, school, etc. court. Not sure about the swearing on a comment section for a video on etiquette, but does every court in your country require a governing body?
@@jerryyoung6494 What I do I need a governing body for? Even the public neighbourhood courts near me have a booking system where you go online, click the time slot and boom - you're booked. Takes less than 10 seconds and avoids any hokum over fighting for courts.
crispybacon true. I think the etiquette was for all courts. We generally play at a local high school. Just open courts and this etiquette is useful.
It’s a “gentleman’s game”? Those are fighting words these days. Lol
Great one! So funny and educational. By the way, you shouldn't have held the mask that way. It is not the most hygienic way. Use a paper envelope.
I agree with everything in this video except for apologising for winning a let cord. It's part of the game and it happens sometimes. I'm not going to apologise for something I didn't mean to do.
Everything makes sense except how does a disagreement between 30-15 and game get solved by 30-15? I’d say if that’s the case 40-15 would be fair to just get a middle ground.
Not quite jumping the shark. Maybe just swimming along side of it.
What about the underhand slice serve? Yay or nay?
Its legal, so go for it if thats your style lol. The old heads hate it though
Yayyyyy.....then blow a kiss!!!!!
That's what i thought as well until someone called it illegal (not until they lost that point) in a doubles match on me for bouncing the ball on the ground first before hitting racquet out of my hand...I think I checked and what I did was correct as well...so be careful for those haters...
@Amir
It is considered very rude to serve underhand in a social tennis match.
If you play with your bro/gal and you are sort of close friends however and want to fool around and have fun it's ok, not a big deal.
If it's a tournament/league match its perfectly fine, however it's viewed as a bit odd
It’s only good if you have a big first serve so you can use it when your opponent stands really far behind the baseline.
Strange rules, much different anywhere else.
What if u see a rattle snake
If I didn’t see it. It’s out!
no, if you didn't see it, its in!
haha :)
On a clearly dubious call, I ask if they are sure twice. If I know they are cheating, I'll cheat call one back. If it continues, I moon ball the rest of the match and avoid them in the future. I do not replay point. They are either sure it's in, or it's out. Unsure means in.
How about the rule of no more than 5 balls on the court?
Hahahaha lmao
Is this Larry David?
They should do an episode of Curb on the tennis courts and Larry at the country club. It would be hilarious!!
May Jesus Christ Blessed You Always 🌹💖🙏✝️
Thank you for great contents.
I personally hate people who turn on a music loudly with their device at a court. That is not respectful. ):
yeah same, I'm from Texas and you would get your cheeks took if you come on the court with that nonsense
I heard it's against the etiquette to keep pointing finger in the camera lol
I thought he hated Wilson bags
Now he is wearing kn in middle of video
10:56 what is happening?
Tell me: next court doubles, player/players self commentary after each point, with a real loud voice. Ok?
