Hey, I’m jot a great tennis player by any means, but on your serve, you lose a lot of power when you bring your racquet arm so far behind you. Try to bring it back in a straight line.
I still consider myself a beginner so hopefully someone with more experience would be able to help you out, but in my opinion your surest bet would be to focus on the basics/fundamentals; things such as keeping your eye on the ball and constantly tracking its movement, running to the ball quickly enough so that you get into the perfect position to hit the shot, and consistently putting the ball back on your opponents side of the court (not every shot has to be fancy or a winning ball). If you focus on just these few basic things and don't take them lightly, but treat them with importance, then you'll very quickly become a very formidable player. Good luck.
If he watched to much Carlos he would put his arm up and push out his fat plastic lips to make a duck face then grin stupidly till after the next point started
Your timing is a bit off. Knee bend is good but your transition up to the ball is rushed so your racquet is not getting ""down your back" enough. if you think about how you throw a tennis ball, you bring your hand back behind your ear then throw forward. Serving is like throwing your Racquet at the ball but not letting go... with your serve your hand is not really getting behind your ear its waving off to the side which means your not getting maximum energy into the swing or the ball. Yes I am a trained Tennis coach ...
That slice backhand had me thinking it was Winston Du on the other side of the net. Then I noticed the player kept the ball out of the middle of the court so I knew it wasn’t Winston. LOL!
Nice! If you want to improve the quality of your shot focus on what the ball is doing to your opponent. If you want to rally deep you need the ball to rise up when it’s crossing the baseline. If you want to open the court you want your opponent to have at least one foot in the alley. Hope it helps and keep posting🎾🎾
@@maxwelltennis you do a great job of "beating the bounce" as I've heard YT coaches call it. I can skip to any random groundstroke and you have already completed your takeback by the time the ball has bounced!
smooth playing brother, just some tips for you: - try to stay a little further away from the ball on your fh so you have a little more stretch in your arm - on your fh, loosen your wrist so you will generate more power and spin - follow through the ball on your fh and bh for more power - split steps if you improve these i can see you become a very smooth and dominating player🫶
I'm not sure how you mean exactly but I normally cock the wrist back slightly during the prep phase for the backhand. Whether or not I actually do that for every swing is another question entirely lol. My wrist tends to be a bit too floppy, which I heard isn't a good thing on the one handed backhand. Hope that answers your question.
Sorry for the confusion. At 0:09 seconds into the video, the way you swing your backhand is quite unconventional, to my eye at least. You knuckles, back of your palm and arm face the directly upward at contact in comparison to facing towards your opponent, that's what I meant by turnt wrist. Although its a common in beginner players you should try to emulate proffesional one handed backhand players who load well like you did but come from under the ball with their wrist facing forward instead of upward to generate topspin.

See how his wrist is facing his opponent. Do whatever you like though, I'm just someone on the internet
@@antares6261 I think I see what you mean. Another person also commented something similar in a previous video. It is an aspect I'm actively trying to fix but bad habits are hard to break 🙂 Thanks for you input/advice. Much appreciated!
Put some effort in now against a wall and iron it out because as you progress this will eventually hamstring you and your ability to play against good opponents.
