10 year old child prodigy competes in Skiing (Youngest State Championship qualifier), Tennis (85+ mile serves), Swimming (top bracket swimmer), American Football (phenomenal arm, accurate 35+ yard spirals with a youth football).
Do that all the time where the toss ends up nearly behind my shoulder, am focused on demonstrating the wrist action. In fact you can see my son demonstrating significant rotation which also helps to open up the shoulders after the toss, we are big Pistol Pete fans :)
Nearly my friend. Have a look at the Sampras stack, he is nearly (not quite) viewing the ball from behind his forearm. Keeps taking the the racquet head back as the tos arm goes up, then swivels the elbow to raise the racquet head…result, a massive rotation with a wide open chest and max distance between a raised Racquet head and the ball about to get into the hitting zone, add the heads travel path following the drop, further enhanced by the unwinding of the shoulders (and the hip drive …as you mentioned… that follows shortly after) and we have launched :) That’s what my 10 year old is now chasing and is beginning to hit insane speeds for a 10 year old. He was missing the limp wrist that is so instrumental in a smooth acceleration of the racquet head through its drop and back up. Let me know what I was missing…except the left foot also pointing a little out to the net post so the hip is not impeded in its drive :)
‘Effortless’ is a key term if one understands sports. You clearly don’t. More tellingly, you comment betrays a miserable soul. Try to excel at something without getting desperate, try to visualize, try to let go…concepts I suspect are alien to you. This guy generates similar power in multiple sports.
@@karunsingh7678 Nonsense is nonsense. My work is in the Physics of Sports so you are not trying to correct someone as dumb as you. Physics is alien to you. Consider leverage in sports - the lever possessing a pivot point (fulcrum) around which there is a resistance and effort arm. Where does effortless fit into this? No, ignorance is not bliss, but seemingly effortless for some. Now go away before your dullness rubs off on me.
@@drbonesshow1wow! You are one of those nerds who couldn’t swing a bat in school so clung onto something remotely connected to sport in the desperate hope that it would qualify you as a subject matter expert on coordination even if you are completely discombobulated 😂! You really need to get a life. You must be the butt of jokes every time you open your mouth about sports. No one in the sports world cares about your physics when they are trying to grasp the nuances of propelling a ball. They need clear and simple instructions on how to get there, not your pedantic crap. And this guy has taught how to generate power to a lot of people across multiple sports including his son who now clocks well past 85 miles at 10 years old. I bet you can write a thesis on sport that can win you publishing accolades but you can’t demonstrate or teach any of it! And yeah, this guy is very apt at describing the concepts like using one’s body and limbs as leavers, so, get a life. Well, let me help you with a concept around regulating body tension to create a fluid motion to achieve smooth acceleration to impact, the proverbial whip crack effect. The concept being demonstrated here is to keep tension away from the wrist and forearm as any tension when created in the body has a tendency to start traveling and kills that smooth acceleration. So “your”😂 leverage (including the “fulcrum”, the torso with its core…😉) would be worthless without effectively combining it with that. Basically a very long (think leverage) whip will crack harder/louder but only if the acceleration through its length continues unhindered (in the case of our limbs a tightening of muscles are a hinderance). So where does Effortless fit into all this?! Well, premature and conscious effort tenses the muscles too early and that darn whip effect remains a dream for the likes of you desperate to fit into the sports world 😂
Fakeer Kabir, in a match this guy doesn’t do casual serves focusing on his wrist hang to demonstrate to his son watching and recording this. In a match this guy has more of a cocked wrist and knee bend and clocks 120 miles easily with a bigger angle coming down coz of that cocked wrist. BTW, this guy is 55 years old and has clocked well past 120 miles in the past. However, even these serves will be a handful. How about your serve? Got any? Another interesting note, this dude wasn’t coached a day in his life unlike a bunch of you kids who get there after tons of it and can’t top 110 at best. His 10 year old has already clocked 85+ miles thanks to tips like these ones.
This guy can serve dude and these aren’t even serious serves, the guy is focused on demonstrating generating easy power. You ever generated anything like that velocity in any sport? Looking at your channel I doubt it, more just a wannabe apt at trolling…get a life.
is this supposed to be ironic. That serve is not a threat to anybody. I think this is the same channel that had an effortless serve video who are the server was obviously putting quite a bit of effort into it. If it’s a bit, it’s not funny. You should learn the words that you use.
too bad you don’t know what the word effortless means. It’s obvious he’s putting quite a bit of effort into it. I would go so far to say over hitting. buy a dictionary.
Clearly you don’t know much about the game. What do you clock on your serves? This guy is 55 and clocks 120+ miles any given day and his 10 year old kid has already clocked 85+ quite regularly. Not sure he needs a dictionary but you sure need to get a life.
He serves better than I do. I wish my high school tennis coach had actually cared about us and tried to teach us things and improve our games. I will never forgive that woman. Lots of us had to seek further coaching from outside sources, which is ridiculous in all honesty.
i mean he's sacrificing everything for power by leaning into the ball and hitting it at a very low point so he can hit more forward than he naturally would be able to if he had height on his hitting point, hence he hit one( at best) serve in this video, straight down the middle
im just now getting into tennis, i hope he heads somewhere great in college. anyone would be lucky to have him. stay dedicated and tell him goodluck in training for me
Great point, agree. Letting him solidify a free swing up to impact for now to get a measure of consistent effortless pop despite a slightly errant toss (the reason he moves his foot to realign his platform to strike with a free swing). A few weeks and that front foot will be brought into focus with a more consistent toss.
:) He knows exactly how to throw the racquet, his coach (who is 55 and can still clock 120+ miles) has worked exactly on that. Have a look at some of his other recent serve videos. Very few 10 year olds have his pop. Thank you.
Agree, good point. Though you’ll notice there are no balls around the baseline as this was supposed to be a baseline back and forth to work on timing. He was already exhausted by then, notice he was also late on the last 2 baseline balls, that’s why he decided to come in on a deep ball to end the point.
That was a while ago, his firsts day of the season at Thanksgiving camp, had forgotten he was supposed to cross-block. He’s since cross-blocked his way to being the youngest state qualifier from his region :)
Retired ski bum from Tahoe. All my friends were waiters and bartenders so we could ski every day. Now I'm at Mt. Rose skiing the chutes which rival any steeps around tahoe.@@skidaemon
@davidstepro7486 We love Tahoe, this little guy skied there just once at Palisades when it was Squaw. Switching our epic pass next season for Ikon, his little ski resort here in PA is getting killed by climate change.
Need to work on that racket drop! Backhand is especially obvious, but the forehand could use some help too. Focus on starting with the top of the racket facing up, then drop, then over and through. He's fairly advanced for a 9yo, would be a shame if he carried these flaws into his teens... Time to correct is now!
Thanks David, good points. About the racquet head top facing up it is generally personal preference I suppose, long as the tip is somewhere between 9 and 12 O’clock with somewhere between the racquet head and neck perched on the left hand and drawn away from the chest at a comfortable distance. He used to have it facing at 12, much like most WTA players until he tried 9 O’clock after becoming a Thiem fan :) He does throw/jerk on the drop so it isn’t distinct yet but I am waiting a bit so as not to disrupt his continuous arc/swing lest he get overly conscious about it, do tell him to be a little smoother though. Also, you might have noticed him a bit too neutral (not quite blocking) on the stance so we are working on making it a little more open, except on the slower loopier balls where he would need that for a more pronounced kinetic chain. He is just making a comeback after a 2 year growth spurt related hiatus that triggered his Patella Tendonitis symptoms in both knees particularly when playing tennis, get compounded by his flat feet.
Thanks. Desperately seeking a good coach/program, not easy to find. Dad’s cannot quite substitute even though they can be great motivators, sparring partners and such :)
