Tennis is a mind game! The best technique is useless if the mind does not help. Although it talks about power, the video is about controlling the mind! Great!
Tomas, this is the single best serve power tip/technique/drill I have seen in 10 years. In fact I have never seen anybody else approach the topic as you have. I have been struggling with this seemingly forever and one trio to court and “unlocked”. Undying gratitude!
Great content. I’ve benefited most from "The Most Fundamental Tennis Serve Drills.” Feeling the weight of first, six balls and then the racket, really helped achieve racket head speed and power. Thank you
I am so amazed at how you can come up with these unique and terrific ways of improving our tennis! You are truly a tennis whisperer👍. I know this is going to help. Thank you 🤗
Folks, THIS ☝🏼 is the great difference between the American-style of teaching and the Eastern European style of teaching, (in my opinion) ... My man HERE ☝🏼 went directly to the MENTAL aspect of striking the ball harder, when the Americans focus on the PHYSICAL. Without the MENTAL... the PHYSICAL will collapse into inconsistency and error, which is disastrous for the game of tennis. Where are you from brother?
@@feeltennis why am I not surprised! I have friends from Slovenia, Slovakia, and Hungary... small country/cultures who know struggle and who are taught at a very young age to have a strong mindset. You and I would get along just fine brother. 👊🏼🇺🇸
I view practicing flat is a way for me to improve my fundamental stroke. I still struggle with racquet drop but by focusing on flat while doing throwing drills I continue to try to improve.
Great video as always from my online coach. Tomaz, could you please clarify one thing as I am now working with my second serve. Does this principle of aiming and giving up some control can be applied to the second serve as well? The toughest part for me at second serve is to fight the feeling of tense and fear and it became much worse in points play or tournament. If you can give me one most important thing to remember during the second serve, what would it be?
First you need to work on your second serve in practice to such a level that you are consistently hitting it in 90% of the time. If you cannot hit 9 out of 10 serves with 0 pressure, you'll make way too many double faults in matches. When you do get to 90% in practice, then here's a video I did on the mindset: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_3YjRtxdxKw.html
Big fan of the channel over the years! This is the first time I don’t quite agree with the advice given. Serves need to be struck with an upward motion, not down. Cheers 👍
Wow, who here is taking about a direction of a motion? This video talks about the mental aspect of the serve to get full power! Why are you bringing up the swing path - which you obviously misinterpreted? And how is it possible that you think I don't know about swinging up on the serve being a professional tennis coach for 30+ years? I am the one who made one of the more popular videos on RU-vid on the topic of swinging upwards: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Y14gsjTAoM.html. And why do you think I care if a tennis amateur stranger on the internet disagrees with me?
It's funny cause I was doing that exercise at the opposite way: hitting hard the net and then hitting the next one a little above until hitting the service area. But now I'm thinking this could me make get some misconception about the ball trajectory or little error margin above the net
What is the difference between the individual program such as forehand, backhand, etc..and tennis for beginners? If I pay for tennis for beginners, are individual programs included?
Tennis for beginners shows basic method for teaching all strokes step by step. Forehand, backhand and other courses are more advanced stroke technique development and correction courses. So beginners course is really for beginners, that includes kids and adults. And if you have been playing for at least 2 years, you can go for the advanced stroke courses.
Hi thanks for your awesome video. May I ask if this concept of thinking about height and not trying to get the ball in the court would apply to groundstrokes as well? If my forehand is falling short aim higher, if it's going long aim lower?
No, because groundstrokes need to be controlled, we don't hit them at full power. Here's how to aim groundstrokes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sJTkThAKMMQ.html
Hello. I'm struggling to progress from the trophy position to the racquet drop, perhaps its a mental block. Can you advise a drill pls? Currently I start my serve motion in the trophy position but can't seem to move smoothly to the racquet drop. I can do it as a shadow swing however and can progress OK from the racquet drop. Thank you.
I'm at the beginning of developing a professional serve and haven't yet introduced the use of the legs or body rotation as I want to get used to what the upper body does first, eg pronation.
