Honesty, I never get tired of watching this process that Ian has created. It is the most satisfying quick growth in tennis movement that I see manifest on my screen. Amazing work Kevin. Thank you again Ian and ET team. The brilliance continues. M
Highly appreciate your timely video. My choice couldn't be more simplified. It must be a Cell cameraphone because I want to use the Swing Vision app. A battery bank is a lot cheaper than replacing your phone battery but might be tricky to mount without several feet of duct tape. Overheating can be mitigated by not using a case which will be unfortunate if phone somehow dropped on the court. A sun umbrella will help phone from overheating. Thank you for helping me decide how much money I'll be spending. Important factor in buying process. I can see an upstart action cam doing a deal with the Swing Vision App but don't know of any other option at this stage. Helpful video cheers!
What's really preventing getting better is lack of true practice opportunities. #1-most recreational tennis players only want to play matches and never want to practice and I don't mean just hitting back and forth, which is a mostly useless exercise. When I say "Practice" I mean taking turns feeding each other balls from a basket like a coach would do, so technique can be worked on and improved. I don't even see most recreational players practicing serves, which can be done alone. This makes finding a non-paid practice partner similar to finding a Unicorn. Even with online services that are meant to help you find practice partners, finding them is rare. #2-Many clubs and even municipal courts don't allow baskets of balls on the court. I don't want to get into all the reasons this is blocked, I get it, but it's also a practice killer. #3-Not enough court facilities have practice walls. While this form of practice is nowhere near practicing with another person, it's better than no practice partner at all. #4-Ball machines are an alternative offered by clubs, but unless these are pretty expensive machines and properly setup, they often shoot the same ball, with the same pace, over and over, which is better than nothing, but overall not very helpful. There's nothing like practicing with a live person hitting live balls, even when they are just feeding practice shots. The human factor adds a shot variety that a ball machine cannot duplicate and practicing with the ball coming at you off a racquet and not shot out of a hole in a metal box just cannot be replicated. #5-NOT using video to see your own strokes. If you don't know what you're doing wrong, you can't fix it. With every cell phone being a video camera, $25 Walmart tripods, and $10 phone tripod mounts, there's just no excuse not to video yourself to see what you need to improve. Let's overcome these hurdles. How about some videos about ways to self-improve?
Coaches on RUclips will teach by demonstrating the technique themselves. Otherwise the coach will ask one of their experienced student to demonstrate the "wrong" way and then the "right" way. However, what Ian is doing in these teaching videos is a different level. He shows a real student player who has no prior experience of a certain technique and makes them learn that. It takes time and patience.
ruclips.net/video/zGBfNA4MNDs/видео.html It looks like you are ready to throw a baseball pitch. I mean I don't think that you'll impress the scouts much, but you'll end up somewhere over the plate Im sure. This is not how the pros serve. You're not pitching to home plate in front of you. You're pitching to a home plate straight above you. If you can get that part right, I promise you'll instantly care a lot loss about kicking it or flattening it out or whatever. You'll just be amazed at what you're doing and a whole new way of playing will open up to you. Watched at 1.75 speed :) Kudos to Ian, his bedside manner is impeccable. You've got to get people into the alpha brainwaves, it's the best for learning. :DD

Glad you enjoy this style M! We always love seeing the improvement!
@@EssentialTennis ...and it shoes. Keep it up!🙌
That’s really nice development
Yes, Kevin did a great job!
Awesome video, thank you 👍
really good ! also one important thing is the toss on 2nd serve if you want to slice the ball, slightly more sideways than the toss of a first serve
Favorite online tennis coach! Too bad he wasn't in Oregon! But then I might find myself on RUclips...😂
Favoraite serving practice ever! Curious for what software you shot and replay the swing motions. Would be a great help if I can video my own motions.
Good transformation!

As a tennis pro, I recognize Ian's tone at 8:48. Translation: That sucked, but I have to be encouraging.
Amazing
Thanks for watching Ava!
Gamechanging🎉
Absolutely! Everyone needs a solid 2nd serve!
Looks VERY familiar
Glad you can relate Pippin!

He is forcing the pronation just hit the ball and let the buddy do the rest
