See Justin Henin, and then tell me again: Is the backhand stroke not attacking shot? You are so wrong!

This is the most informative and empirically grounded video on the serve to have been posted on RU-vid , and I have watched a lot of RU-vid content on the serve.

筋肉が波打ってる。。

Thank you ! My partner always pass me by lob🥶

I am struggling to switch grips between slice and top spin one hand BH. Seems like i premiditate what shot i want to play (drive or slice). Can you share how that grip change happens.. i mean.. once you see ball is coming in BH , the i itial grip is slice or Drive .. And then you change ?

This is one best instructional videos out there on the serve . Excellent for beginners and improvers

it is technical and creative to add the top view. Great job!

Wow, that’s so cool to see. I hit flat and kick serves. The slice serve was a mystery so under these circumstances looks like I should be able to master it without significant difficulty👍. Thanks Tomaz!

Again your explanation is specific and evidence based. Very helpful and thank you

I just realized the importance of the pronation recently. Came back to this video and found it exactly correct when it described “may not maximize the full pronation”. Wished I paid more attention when I watched it the first time. Thank you for the excellent explanation

Hi Coach, when you make these intentional shots, is there a point on the ball that you target or do you just sweep the ball with the racket? Thank you very much.

good

I am so grateful you made this video after I asked for it a while ago. Very interesting and well explained as usual. Thanks again, looking forward to the next one!

Can the ball machine gives both spin and slice randomly instead of specific one type?

GREAT VIDEO 👍🏻❤️🎾

Very, very useful. Thank you.

Very good, not so much fancy talk more down to business

For better slowmo it's better to use more fps because between frames a lot of movement is lost

I have been trying more topspin lately and it is beginning to work. This explanation is great. Can’t wait to apply on the court tomorrow.

Love this video. Thanks!

Wow i can listen to Tomaz talk long long time and i find it so interesting! I like to hear how you practice, and i m impress you are so dedicated to your practice! Because i cant depend on people to play with me, working people these days are rude, i have to check their time availabilty, book the court, sometimes have to go-to-and-fro rechecking with them, and they took their own sweet time to delay phone messaging me, while i fighting to get court as they get snatched up fast. For all the work i do, these people took days to text reply alternative timing, their no-reply attitude just show me they disrespect my time and me. So anyway the best way is to practice alone and Tomaz's video here is the best thing to encourage oneself!

wonderful video, very much to the point (love it - not so much "noise" as on other channels), which helps a lot to focus on the main characteristics. Just discovered the Feel Tennis Channel and I love it. Liked the video & subscribed to the channel 🙂 Thank you for this info sharing & amazing footages!

Tomaz, these top-down views in slow motion continue to be fantastic. It reminds me of the work that Vic Braden did many years ago with some of his top-down views. With the serve, I feel it reveals so much of the knee, hip and shoulder rotations before, during and after contact. Keep it up, thank you coach!

Ten top view really shows the different placement of the toss especcially the over lay view.

Interesting, congrats for your work. Just, I'd say you start to pronate a bit early, what do you think ? In my mind, most of the time, the racket is on the edge until the arm is straight and vertical, then fast pronation.

Thank you

Exactly how my coach taught me how to breathe last week. My asthma came back to haunt me 4 years ago when I was 72. I started feeling chest tight and out of breath after a few games playing matches despite using Ventolin before the game. This week I feel much better using this breathing technique 🙏🏻

I love how you communicate the lessons and your vision about tennis. Great work

really like how your thought process is... simple and "no big differences" between the serves - I find over interpreting motions can be really misleading

I’ve watched this video multiple times, always learning something new. This may be the best volley video EVER on RU-vid!

This is useful, particularly the overlay view, thanks.

Very nice video!

Brilliant video ...Thank You

7:00

That is excellent thank you.

use your abs and shoulder...dont rely too much on your wrist

Hi Tom, you are the best coach & you teach step by step also I gave up watching any other coaching. Thx Prince

Hey, great video. I have only one quick question - shouldn't the body be more sideways, than the flat, for better topspin serve. My coach always says to not open the body too soon for the topspin serve, so that's why I was wondering.

This is brilliant and so basic! Thank you, Coach. It is THE most important of all the learning techniques in tennis. It is used to properly learn virtually everything we do that requires eye/hand coordination and proper bio mechanic movement/technique. From dribbling a basketball to playing the piano. From throwing a football to serving a tennis ball. If a person practices wrong form because they are doing the activity at a speed higher than his/her current ability, that “wrong” technique is what we are practicing and learning. The increased speed should happen extremely gradually so that the form remains correct. Repetition of correct form results in learning correct technique. To become really good at anything that requires proper form of movement, requires starting slow to get lots of repetitions of correct form and extremely gradual increases in speed so that the form stays correct in practices and tension and arm muscling the ball doesn’t become what you are learning. Only hit with a partner or teaching pro who has the ability to hit slowly with you and will be patient enough to increase speed at very tiny increments where you can maintain the form.

What you said about racquet acceleration through fast body rotation explains why I feel I hit much better when I'm not focused on "throwing" harder with my arm, but more focused on how much body rotates. I hesitate to even call it "focusing" on rotation...all I do is look for the ball to reach its apex->explode and try to land hard on my left foot. naturally this makes me uncoil fast. when I don't hear a good, loud foot plant, I know my trunk rotation was slow (maybe easier to hear on a hard court). By putting an emphasis on uncoiling fast and explosive, I find my arm can be more so used for guiding the racquet to make good contact, rather than providing (often uncontrollable) power. these are just the cues that work for me. I don't expect them to work for everyone, but the end result is the same: we just want to achieve high rotational acceleration. one thing I still struggle with is pronating fast enough. Often I hit a slice on accident because my racquet is not yet flat on the ball. your tip about wrist snap being a myth has helped me tremendously with this though

I think u r awesome! and of course ur coaching is the best on the tube. However if i was to coach ur serve technique, I would suggest u stop moving ur left foot. It is causing u to foot fault. I guess u r not perfect, But in my eyes u r my favorite Coach! Thanx for all u do!!!
