- In this one minute clinic it was asked how to handle super short balls that we often take for granted and end up missing. The solution is simpler than most people think. Which is why this little detail is often overlooked. HAVE FUN😁
These videos are literally the best tennis coaching you can get on the internet. Thank you!!!!
Just found your channel today and I've been binging on so many of your videos. Love the delivery and your simple and straightforward explanations. Awesome job!!
Thank you, welcome to the team 😁 hope I'm able to help
Always good revisiting your videos, timeless simplicity
Great vid. Love the channel. Keep em coming.
Thanks, will do! Happy you're here
Good advice bro. I particularly like what you said about running through the ball and going down the line.
Glad you liked it. Happy to help
Another very useful video! You are the man! Very well explained!
Thanks again! I'm glad you are getting something from the 😁👍
Great coaching all fundamentals great explanations to the points. It all comes down how good you can play. Takes many patience practices to execute perfections shots making on the court.
I can definitely agree to that
Super practical tip with easy to understand advice. Thank you!
Your welcome, i try to make it easy to digest 😁
Another outstanding explanation. Thanks.
Very welcome 😁 hope it helps
Great video! Got me likin and subscribin!
Thank you for the compliment 😁 Welcome to the team
I cannot thank you enough for the tutorial you made regarding my questions. Too many people slice like crazy or just return short balls in the recreational level and i believe it is essential to put away these balls if i want to develop as a player. Don't worry about the last name. Greek surnames are always difficult to pronounce! lol!!!
I was happy to help. I hope the stuff I said works for you 😁👍
Great lesson, thank you
My pleasure!
Very nice video again adressing real problems this type of shot is also on the second serve beginner intermidiate level whrere the ball floats medium high at the net level if i put power its going to the net or Long if i place the ball is 99% in
I want to play with power to that shot but it is difficult because you have to go little below and flat and the close the follow through at the same time
Outstanding instruction.
Greatly appreciated 😁 I hope it was helpful
@@ironwilltennis Indeed, so much great information on your vids. Your channel deserves to go viral
Would you please make a tutorial for aggressive high forehand volley ? I tend to hit it long or lack of pace. Thanks !
You got it😁👍
@@ironwilltennis thanks Master !
Great content Will, keep going 👏.
Thank you, I will do my best
Can you do a video on your diet, workout, weightlifting, PEDs if you use any? You have a good bit more upper body muscle than most tennis players, pros included. How does that effect your game and stamina etc? Thanks for all the great videos.
Sure thing!
Love the content!! Is it possible to make a video on return of serves please? We need more content on the one handed backhand!!!
I'll try to get a good server to make a visit and get it done 😁
more power,,more responsibilities - uncle ben
Never a bad time for a spider man quote 👌
Excelent vidio very good teatching:)
Glad you liked it! Happy to help
can you make a video on how to use the hips in the baseline forehand? specifically, how much initiation is really necessary, should you 'fall forward' during the shot before bringing your rear foot around. Does your upper body move forward a little bit more than your hip area, or do you keep your upright posture and only move forward by allowing your legs to flex/move. thx, great videos.
I can do one that goes more in depth for sure
Will: Great content you are delivering. Could you do the following: I have been working on the ‘2nd shot’ with my coach. Meaning: I serve he returns deep and I hit my second shot. Another exercise is We really backhand cross court . Whoever gets to hit a forehand starts the point. That then is not a 2nd shot per se but equally challenging the one who hits the forehand gets the receiver ideally in a tougher position outside the comfort of cross court back and forth. Would be interesting to see you elaborate on that one … regards from Singapore
I'll take the challenge 😁👍
great coaching - what i d like to see is how to actually flatten out your shots, often times in that position my intention is to get a flat low ball (but you never really hit flat, you always put some spin on it) but i find that i put too much spin and the ball does not get enough of a straight line, i m trying to extend my arm forward to penetrate the ball in a linear way but somehow the spin I put slow down the ball too much and when playing a fast player i then get a passing shot or lob
I think I can help with that
Love the tutorials. Great work. I've watched a lot of you tube videos about the role of the wrist on the forehead. There seems to be a fair difference of opinion. What's your take on it?
I am on the side of shape through the motion of the shoulder which is a bigger hinge and easier to control. And then accentuate with the wrist if you decide
Can you make a tutorial for 2nd serves? Thanks!
Sure😁 what specifically are you looking for?
Hi coach will, your videos help immensely. Can you do a clinic on running backhand save ball? Not sure of the technical term and I found few resources on the internet. When the opponent hit a wide-angle flat shot down the line to my backend, I have trouble returning. I know one can reach for the ball with his body facing behind the player and do a 360 rotation like those badminton players do, but I can never time correctly or the shot feels weak. I can save the forehand shots pretty ok by using an fh slice, but bh feels like it's against human anatomy, and it's weak to rotate the wrist outward.
Basically, should I just block to do a lob, or should I use my wrist to add more pressure (which really takes away my timing.) or is there any footwork that can help one save more extreme balls on the backhand side?
Interesting question I think I can handle this one. There are definitely a few things to be covered
Hi Will, thank you so much for this one minute clinic series. It really helps me a lot. I have BIG trouble facing high, short, soft serves, any tips to overcome this defect? Similar to this put way?
You can definitely apply this tactic to return of serve. You actually have the added advantage of predicting the short shot so you don't have to sprint forward like I'm the middle of a rally
Hi Will, I notice you didn’t mention the slice FH and slice BH on short balls.
At club level, and Vet level, allot of players are late getting to a short ball, would you advise they use a slice to keep the ball in play, or even if they have the skill, to knife a short ball with a slice say down the line and come to the net. Any thoughts? Cheers, charlie from London.
I am definitely not against that as an option. I actually like to use it to put contact point pressure on my opponent as well as give myself approach time. I didn't mention here only because of the specific question that was asked
Hi Will love your channel. I'm in my 60s and my greatest challenge in tennis is trying to avoid injuries. As you get older your game changes because of the physical restraints of age. My question is are there any techniques in tennis that are more arm friendly as you get older. I use a one handed backhand and thinking of learning two handed to stop getting tennis elbow. Thank You.
I'd love to help you our with this one. There are many little tweaks that can be made that are more are friendly 😁 I don't think completely going 2 hands is necessary but I leave that decision to you. Would you mind contacting me directly?
@@ironwilltennisI hv the same question as I’m in my mid fifty
Hi Will, Question on how to handle a ball that's below the knee or lower and inside the court. Should I get my body low and try to swing thru with the ball in front OR should I reach down from a more upright posture and try to lift it? These shots often go long when I use either technique. Thanks in advance.
Either is a good choice actually 👌 it just depends on if the ball itself is rising or falling when you strike it. If it's rising the then hitting through is good because the ball will naturally deflect upwards and clear the net. If it's falling, then the other option of lifting is appropriate. You should bend at least a little in either situation though.
Good stuff. Can you talk about hitting winners and sitters up the middle? I’m starting to see more pros go up the middle which is smart. Most people hit to the open court and sometimes they miss. Is up the middle a good play?
Up the middle is a great play "IF" you have hit enough solid short balls that you opponent is forced to to respect your ability to take their time away. Once that is established then they will cheat to one side as they try to anticipate the winner direction
I've played tennis for about 8 years, but there is still a shot that i can't hit. I learned tennis mostly by playing rally game with my brother, so i lack the volley. Especially the volley that can penetrate the court laser-like. My volley is kind of float-ish, so i become nervous when i close the net. I also have been trained by some local tennis coaches around, but none could really pinpoint the main factor behind it. Could you make a video about it? Laser-like volley that can really penetrate the court.
I can do that for you 😁👍
That’s my problem too a lot of my volleys kinda float up and I can’t make them penetrate the court
Can you make a video on leg drive and hip turn for forehand and two handed backhand?
If you already have done it in a previous video, let me know and I’ll look at them.
I will send you a link for one of them but i can go a little more into it if you like

Id like to see a video on proper footwork/technique to approach balls. Seems i am always not in the correct position
Like approach shots or moving to a ball?
@@ironwilltennis both would be helpful, but I was specifically talking about moving to the ball
What is your background or experience in tennis? Where or how did you learn everything?
As far as playing background I played in college and pro events in the off season. As far as coaching experience. I learned from tennis academy coaches for years as well as am 1 one of the top 100 performance coaches in the country 🤓
Sir
How to hit high forehand
You got it😁👍
