You could go through countless tennis tutorials on RU-vid but this is the one you need. Great video

@TennisHacker 7 месяцев назад

I appreciate that! Thank you.

@jennydemmer3674 2 года назад

brilliant explanation of the variations, I will definitely start incorporating these shadow preparation steps in my morning gym routine.

@jayrussell26 2 года назад

Shadow preparation - awesome idea and thanks for the drills - nice one Richard !

@TheDrakulie 2 года назад

This is probably the best at home practice you can do in your living room for busy professional weekend players

@Itsmrhere Год назад

Insightful... Almost everything required to know as a player put together so beautifully... Those who understands the logic and practices well are bound to improve and notice the difference in their game straight away for sure...

Nice video. Footwork is key on every sport. Fitness for better footwork gives edge on higher levels. I mean, they all know how to hit the ball with control. And when this preparation is not executed, it's either lack of fitness or simply laziness. Most know they are being slow. Question is do they want to put the work? That's the question. (And that is why pros are pros). I agree with the video 100%. My shadow swings are really slow normally, so that I can trace the whole process, starting with the split step. Once an acceptable pattern is visualized I decide to work out and speed up shadow swings. From picking up racket to dropping it, it's about an hour. I love shadow swinging. It's like shooting by yourself at the hoops.

It's really cool your interpretation of tennis, really logical and hacky! cheers from Chile!

@TennisHacker 2 года назад

Thanks, glad you are enjoying the videos. I just try to be logical about it, so hopefully it helps people.

@jamesohara9133 2 года назад

What a truly fantastic approach. I now have a very good winter off-court practice routine. Thank you!

@marcbienstock1130 Год назад

These are great drills. Shadow swinging the first move, feet, turn and making the grip change seamless. And seems like great fitness work also!

@TennisHacker Год назад

Yes, you can definitely combine footwork training with conditioning work. For a more cardio style workout you can link the patterns continuously. For more interval style you can break it down into sets done at a faster speed, with rest in between.

@yenkuangting 2 года назад

Great video, I watched I followed your instructions and “「just do it」。 obviously I am able to hit those shots which I could not hit before , I was suddenly admired by my same age (71 years old) tennis club members . Thank you

visual system definitely adapts quickly... I just picked up a tennis racket 10 days ago and asked a 4.5 level player to serve at me first basket of 90 mph serves i made ZERO contact (unless you count getting hit in the body contact) but after shagging all the balls the next basket I made contact with almost 90% of the serves and half of those were good contact but just out of play or into the net basically no control but I was hitting the serves. So i'm definitely going to drill this footwork...because when you're thinking about too many things balls seem faster. my goal is to consistently be able to beat 3.0 -3.5 level players within 3 months of starting to play, and I feel like if i can move properly and return serves...it's BBQ CHICKEN, EZ CLAP, Light work.

@TennisHacker 2 года назад

At the 3.0 to 3.5 left it’s all about getting to the ball and consistency. Players at that level don’t have any ways to hurt you (if you have good movement). So sounds like an achievable goal. As you correctly said, you just have to rep out the footwork to make it an automated process and then it’s 🍗 time 😀

@poofykins 2 года назад

@@TennisHacker when I think about it...the ball seems to come \so much faster and then I don't get a nice swing / contact. other bad thing i do is i a blast a monster server (which for some reason i can do naturally) or if i hit a nice return i'll just like watch it and be like Yeeeaahhh! then realize oops i just stood there watching my hit and then way out of position for the ralley

@bong111467 Год назад

This lesson is exactly what I need to drill! Thanks a lot

@xband 2 года назад

Great stuff. The one thing that is missed consistently with RU-vid tennis coaches addressing these issues is that the majority of balls received at the 3.5-4.5 level will be short and low. These baseline footwork exercises are great but I’m not typically hitting a ball at waist to shoulder height, it’s more often waist to knee or below, and short. I’m 6’3” so that’s some of the issue. The majority of my out long (6”) balls are from no mans land. If I do not hit a forcing ball the opponent will sit back and lob when I come in to net. Maybe address the footwork for this type of ball. Thanks!

@CH-yp5by 2 года назад

Thats simple, get down lower with your foot work your too up right and stop hitting the ball back into your opponents strike zone where they can hit flat shots back at you. They most likely have Eastern forehand grip which is why most 3.5 4.5 players hit flat.

@ben1147 2 года назад

Hey! Racquetflex has a great video on this topic.

@TennisHacker 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed the video. And thanks for the suggestion. I’m recording again later this week, so will make a short ball video.

@tomsd8656 2 года назад

If you don't punish the short ball, then slice it back low and short. If your opponent is also low level, it's not easy for him to lob with such a shot, because he also has to scramble up to your short ball.

@treetoplake 2 года назад

Thank you for the explanation .. I can do this in my office without a racket ..

@davewilliams9978 2 года назад

Pretty good info. 1 small error on footwork

@mantiskf 4 месяца назад

A better explanation of possibly the near universally poorly taught (and sanctioned in coaching courses) detail in tennis. One small note though, is that unless the weight is already shifting laterally towards the stepping near foot, either while splitting or stepping, then a short pivot step will always occur before the near foot (right in this example) abducts away from the centre of mass. We simply need to stop demonstrating this as they though they all occur from a forward facing and moving equally weighted split.

@Under-dogGamer Год назад

Hi mate dont agree with your assesment on lta rating plenty of great players between 4.0-5.0 lol basically county level standard.unless it's changed recently from when I did my hitting test for performance coaching upgrade. I am a lta performance coach.but the rest of the vidio I agree with mate.i would take away the negative connotations about ability.bair in mind when you do performance coaching you have to hit at 4.0-5.0 lta rating not saying there is no room for improvement but I dnt agree with your initial statement.but apart from that like your vids mate.

@TennisHacker Год назад

I'm from England, but I live in Canada now, so I was referring to the North American NTRP rating system. I'm not sure how it translates to the LTA ratings because I've been here a while and I think they changed the structure a little bit since I left.

@Under-dogGamer Год назад

@@TennisHacker ah ok mate fair enough good luck over there I am working for John rudd and Mike Lipschitz both very good coaches.

@chrisnel5505 2 года назад

You out of breath. This going to work 10th day at W/don 4th or 5th set when grass 🤔 is no longer green.

@TennisHacker 2 года назад

If I were to play at Wimbledon aged 41 for the first time, I’d say the drills had worked amazingly 😂 But i think if i was playing on centre court, I would try not give running commentary of every point, so I’d hopefully be able to control my breathing better 😬

@willfletch5871 Год назад

What about movement for inside out forehead

@TennisHacker Год назад

I have specific videos that talk about that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1gUYfTmVDwI.html

@TempeMax 2 года назад

You are highlighting things that the major part of the coach doesn’t teach and even see on the pitch…..very very good ! For this reason I had a lot of issues in the starting of the matches because the positioning of the legs and feet in preparation of the forehand when cold. Seeing that opened my mind . Thanks a lot

@jimcovington4038 2 года назад

Great idea to practice this. Don't even need a racquet! Good cardio too😀

@PinoCoppolaBoxkeller 5 месяцев назад

@TennisHacker 5 месяцев назад

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. It’s funny, whenever I’m playing a better player and i feel like they are just a step ahead. I’m always glad i’m not in ring or cage with them 😀

@dondewilde4700 Месяц назад

Excellent simple explanation of the footwork.

@TennisHacker 29 дней назад

Happy to help!

@alwaysprepared 2 года назад

One thing missing here is what to do what the ball is hit directly toward you, particularly, body serves... But, these drills are definitely useful...

@tomsd8656 2 года назад

Then shuffle first out of the way and turn, still the same basic movements. Of course this is assuming the ball is slow speed. I do this all the time. Once in a while I received serves that were fast enough that I only had time to stick the racquet out in front of me. In that case, sometimes I made it and sometimes shanked the ball, which is ok. Keep in mind that this kind of body serve (right at you and fast) rarely happens at low level play. Even at the pro level you don't see body serve so accurate like that often. I played amateur tennis almost my entire life, and I received fast and right at me body serves only a few times. In 99% of low level matches, you won't see such serve even once.

@krishnamurthysubramanian58 2 года назад

Great video on preparation and very rightly explained how it is so important including the hard work required on drills. Look forward to more such for movements while preparing for either short or long balls where you have to move forward or backward. Will the same preparations help such cases?

@TennisHacker 2 года назад

Moving back is very similar, but you’ll be opening up more on the pivot step. (I have a video about it for the one handed backhand). Glad you found the video helpful. Moving forward is a little different. It’s on my list, so i’ll be making a video about it soon.
