Master the 90/10 Rule for High-Quality Groundstrokes 

Falling backwards while hitting. Story of my life lol.

I’m sure RU-vidrs are leery of repeating content but as someone who vividly remembers the last one, I got just as much from this one. Rec players like me need these reminders. I appreciate the video with the small tweaks to keep it fresh like lefty training to drive home the point.

Thank you so much for the great tips Karue!

You keep making the most useful and practical tennis videos for serious players on RU-vid.

Very important lesson. Gotta change my mindset from now on. Thanks!

thank you for making these videos!

Love the videos and tips coach!

One of the easiest and most important tips. Always solid instruction Karue! I tell this to people all the time... do everything you can to be moving fwd into every shot. I call it the ABC rule... like Glengarry Glen Ross... 'always be closing'

Great stuff, Karue!

Great video Karue and Vai Brasil!

Brilliant Karue !!

Great instruction Karue. We are really trying to work on the up and back movement here as well. Would you say it is a bit of a ball recognition thing as well, realizing which balls you can move up on and move back on, but yes always trying to step in whether it is up and back? At 9:01 I wanted to yell at the screen, "Watch our for the ball behind you" but it was the overlay video and the ball was on the court in the other video. 😂 Great coaching as usual!

Loved your tshirt bro. I'm brazilian and your videos are really helping me. Thanks!!!

This is gold advice

one of the biggest differences between your righty and your lefty forehand is the use (or lack of) the offhand as a "rotation brake". love your videos 👏

In Las Vegas with an 8 time Grand Slam champ? Sounds like Agassi to me! I feel like Giron and Agassi have similar, "slap" like ground strokes. They seem to be a similar height too. I can't wait to see the content!

excited for Karue's review of the new vcore line vs 2021 version!!

This is GOLD.

nice tips, nice shirt tanks from Brasil

that was amazing😃

Big fan of content and channel from your beginning. Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷 and good luck tomorrow 😂 😉

Really enjoyed this video - I have a *terrible* habit of falling away from my shots. Absolutely kills any power the stroke might have had.

Perfect !!!!

Nice lesson, nice shirt!

Love your vids and awesome tips as always. Only critique is your camera focus was constantly adjusting through the vid. Might want to check the focus lock. Cheers

Brazil shirt!!! love it man!

O canal está chegando a 100 mil inscritos. Em breve vem a placa! Eu voltei a jogar tênis depois de 6 anos parado e a maior dificuldade é que sempre estou muito perto da bola e a biomecânica não está fluida. Você poderia fazer um vídeo explorando o tema?

Would love to see how this works more in open stance when pulled out wide. Great vid

I struggle a lot to keep control when I move forward. Probably because I don't hit so clean and nice as you do. I feel I accumulate tension when I try to be more proactive and lots of balls goes long. It is hard to stay relaxed in particular during matches.

Thank you! Worked during round robin ladies dubs today and I won all 3 sets yay!

Moving forward, having the intention to move forward, leaning into the shot; these attributes are quite possibly some of the most important subtle differences between recreational and high-level players. Watch people next time you’re on the court and also try to feel your body moving forward as you hit. Massive difference!

6:38 "... i'm kinda impressed with how i'm hitting" Now that's 100% Rule!! 😂😆😛

Had a lesson last night and my coach was saying I wasn’t stable enough on the shot. Always either stepping through it too much on impact or falling back the way. Wasn’t letting the racket extend out towards my target either after contact. Now getting way more solid contact and getting my feet planted on both stances. Simple but so effective

The first 2:30 minutes of this video are pure gold! Keys to getting to next level Love the 90/10 rule

Hi there..loving your channel & your content..I do this often on my single handed backhand thus making a weak shot...if the ball is below waist level, I'm okay & transfer my weight well but for balls above waist high or with topspin, I tend to struggle...can you suggest remedies for this?

Karue, love your content. What racket are you using in this video?

Channel looks super pro but i do hate all the ads and intros. I love straight into it hehe

Bravo. Finally someone who talks about meaningful mechanics, rather than fancy schmancy wrist-lag whiplash foolery.

Nice shirt!❤

7:01 No way, Agassi?!?!

Thank you for a great video. I had been playing tennis just for one yr so I always looking for drills to improve my game. Sometimes I get together with some friends but they don't like to do drills. They want to hit and hit. I believe in doing both to get better. What's your opinion? Thx

100k subs soon!

Wow, Your left forehand is better than my right dominant forehand!!!

Thanks for the awesome advice, as always. One question about contact point: I always thought that the best is at hip level, but my son's coach (he is 10, plays in junior tournaments) advices him to hit the ball at shoulder lever. Any thoughts?

Aiite I now wanna challenge Karue's lefty LOL. off hand control is absolutely nuts.

You jinxed Brazil wearing the jersey lol. You're forgiven, this video was extremely valuable!

beautiful shirt, I'm Brazilian! I don't know how to speak English, but I try to understand his teachings and apply them to my training.

Hi the idea of 10percent is were you have foot work almost there. If a player has to start going forward, a lesson on dipping the front hip down to inable swing through was real good.

Do you guys offer online coaching. Critiquing video etc?

Nice shirt! Brasil!

4:45 I am offended. I am 100% sure he saw me playing and imitating me there.

Thanks for the video. Thank you also for wearing the shirt of the Brazilian national football team.

+1 for the Jersey

When is the Wilson Shift review coming out?

One thing I would say, is that it is important to swing from below the ball and hit over it. "Fall backwards " gives you time to do that, whereas with "moving forwards" you have to dip down then move up as you're moving forward, a more complex motion and one that gives you less time if you haven't judged the ball correctly coming towards you.

Hey Karue, first off, great channel/videos. I too make content on YT, but it's a completely different sub-category (poker vlogs). That said, I'm an avid tennis player and watch your videos to try and get better. If you're ever in the San Francisco Bay Area, it'd be great to link up, hit some balls, and maybe even collaborate on some content if possible. Thanks!

Nice football shirt. I have the same one.

Do you have info on hitting the forehand too early? I have the opposite issue

Lovely 🇧🇷 shirt

See you are sporting Brazil football team jersey. Thank you for all your tennis lessons, Croatian fan.

Don’t hog the bounce. Great stuff.

🔥🔥🔥🏆

After 5 years of tennis I have managed to hit a decent forehand moving forward when the ball is waist height or lower but I cannot find a way to swing aggressively on higher balls.

Karue, what do you reckon your rating is left handed?

Karue, great video and lots of goog points...anxious to share with students and friends, but I have to send it to them with a caveat because you said the thing that all teaching pros and tour coaches I've witnessed get wrong. You mention staying on the balls of your feet "and never on our heels. Watch a video of yourself or especially Federer, you use your heels on every single shot you make...you play correctly but do you realize how and why you are placing your heels down for stability and power transwer? The better the player the more their heels are on the ground. Federer for example is on his heels more often than any other player on the pro tour and he has the best balance and power transfer from the legs than any other player...not to mention always on balance....very unlike most all the other players....Heels down and big steps (not little light ones on your toes) is how you load the hamstrings and glutes. Telling yourself or your students to stay on balls of the feet over uses the quads, actually results in worse balance and less power distribution from the largest muscle group in the body. Just watch your example around 3:00 and count how many times your heels go to the ground, especially when you go to brace yourself and reestablish your balance. Big steps, heels on the ground is not the same as sitting back on one's heels with legs straight and waiting...heels down with big steps is the instruction we need to give students. Notice your medicine ball portion...you would never tell someone to hang out and bounce around on the balls of their feet because that exercise is all about power transfer....AKA heels down!

Karue with the Brazil jersey

Step back little bit so that you can step into the ball and hit. Back up. Stay away from the bounce. Put body rotation into the ball

BRASIL !!!!!

Do you think you could ever play with two forehands at a high level, if you wanted to and worked on it?

I wish my forehand was as good as Karue's left-handed forehand. Sheesh!

WIlson shift?

🇧🇷

Fala Karue, blz? Você trocou de vez a Yonex Vcore 95 pela Solinco Whiteout? O que está achando da Solinco?

Is that the Wilson Shift?

lol lol the hitch reference

not sure how much advise you are able to give from just a description of the problem but may it's a common one: when I try to transfer body weight into the shot and try to just keep the arm "loose", the racquet often end up wrapping around my body pretty much horizontally and result is that ball goes into or barely clearing the net. maybe too much of just rotation and not enough of going towards the direction of the shot?

Bruh this man Karue could beat me playing left with a frying pan

he hits better on his nondominant hand then i do on my dominant hand🥲🥲

bruh if you can get Agassi on here...

Lol! Yeah hit most of my dhots falling backwards.

Damn pickleball is loud

8x GS champ ? Agassi !

If he looks like Viggo Mortensen in GI Jane, he cannot be wrong....

Easier said than done..😂

Did karue just swap to his left hand? Wtf ahah

Fed right handed instead of left handed, 0/10 (just kidding). And dude, you must be training with Agassi as the 8x slam champion. That guy almost has as clean a backhand as you do...almost.

I'm a lefty and your lefty shots are better than mine. Sigh.

Why do you keep saying "push" when to be a pusher is not considered to be good tennis?
