The most underrated and the best of the best channel ever. Some channels are no action talk only in videos. The guy in this video shows real demonstration.
I have to say this is one of the best videos I've watched on split step and movement to the ball. As I am aging I noticed am having some issues with tracking the ball as well, it could be that I have developed visual and/or flexibility limitations and I have them more often when I am getting fatigued.. Looking forward to trying your visual training . I am a fan!
Excellent video. Recreational players like me should pay more attention to this component of the game, because we think that the most enjoyable part is hitting the ball ... but if we understood that this helps us hitting more consistently, we should change perspective. On the other hand keep doing this during an entire match is hard for recreational players because it demands from you to be fit enough
Try hitting the ball earlier at it's highest point! Also gives you the mentality to go "towards" the ball. Hehe not an expert but that's what they always told me and it definitely makes a difference
Depending on what ball you are dealing with and what level you are it sounds like a good plan 😀 When dealing with deep balls, good preparation for a lot of people is to move back quickly.
Really great tips. What is your advice for older players that can't bend their knees so much any more - also not with training- and therefore cannot reach the optimal splitstep position?
My advice is to do everything you can to improve your movement and how much your knees bend. In my experience (and I've worked with players in their 80's), there is always something that will help. These 2 videos will give you some basics: Mobility - ruclips.net/video/ZN0iSHT8Gnc/видео.html Nerve drill - ruclips.net/video/qs2I2LBv4Do/видео.html But there is a lot more you can do.

I fail at focusing on opponents contact. I think I am looking in the general direction but not processing that. Not sure what I am looking at. Might be the back fence or trees or whatever. I will often play a set and not even remember if opponent hit with a one handed or two handed backhand.
It’s good that you are aware if that because you have a starting point. Make watching your opponent and “seeing” the ball come off their strings a priority
Other coaches have advocated timing your split step so that you are still in the air at the point when you can determine the direction of the ball. As a result, you can adjust your landing (usually by "reaching" with the outside foot and pivoting with the inside foot) so as to land with your weight and momentum already going in the correct direction. What are your thoughts on this technique?
If someone gets the timing then it can work well. If you analyze the pro's they do both. Sometimes landed with an even distribution sometimes as you described above. Realistically most adult intermediate players are going to struggle to time it.
Hello! Great video! What do you think about strabismus (crossed eyes problem)? I have it. I know it affects some part of focusing and vision in general. I am a good tennis player. I mean pretty high level for amateurs - I would say 4.5 level. I can time the ball pretty well, I also played football/soccer so I am pretty good at tracking the ball and timing in general. But I wonder if some of the times I hit the ball wrong/badly, especially on the difficult volleys, could it be because of that eye problem? And, I know this problem is only fixable with operation and it's not really an easy peasy. Could it be that and could I do anything to fix it? From what I know it's my right eye that's pointed more towards the center(the other eye) while I am looking straight in front.
If you play at 4.5 level, you must be compensating very well. But yes, i would imagine it has to be created challenges for your game. Depending on the severity, there is most likely something you can do to improve it. If you want to chat, use this link. www.tennishacker.net/strategy-call
Hard question, depending by how much, probably late because otherwise you lose the spring like effect. But obviously if you are really late then it defeats the purpose anyway.

Good stuff Richard! I’m sharing it.
Thanks Jamie! I’m coming back down in November, so we’ll have to get out for a hit
Such clear and useful explanations. Thanks!

I completely agree. To use good footwork for a whole match requires a lot of fitness. I
Thanks for great explanations 👏
Happy to help.
Thanks! Brilliant!
Exactly my struggles, thanks for addressing it
I'm glad it helped. Keep working on the footwork and vision and you'll make huge progress.

What do you think is causing you to prepare late for your forehand?

Great tips! Nice detailing, with showcasing step by step pivot step.
Maybe video could be shorter.
Keep up with the good work.
Thanks, sadly if I made it shorter i wouldn't have been able to explain each part propperly 🙂

Hello , can you make a workout steps for tennis about 1 hr long please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tks. I just don't do a split step. I watch the ball like a hawk, but my feet are lazy
Sounds like it’s split step time 😀
If you had to choose one, is it better to be early or late on your split step?
Hard question, depending by how much, probably late because otherwise you lose the spring like effect. But obviously if you are really late then it defeats the purpose anyway.
Early is better than sorry lol
C'est vraiment l'abécédaire du tennis qu'il convient d'assimiler . Merci pour tes conseils et astuces pour améliorer les jeux de jambes
Sir, you have a nice lean athletic physique! 👍💪👍
Thanks
your mechanics are not good.
Thank you. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to criticize me 😂
