Some people are missing the point, this is a drill for a SPECIFIC scenario. The ball is low because you've worked the point already, your opponent has played a defensive shot (flat or slice) and he's given you a short ball which happens to be low... you're inside the court but have to generate all the pace and spin yourself. It's fantastic to practice this because your opponent is going to tempt you to go cross and then he'll burn you on the pass. So this is an essential drill for practicing that up the line shot with plenty of spin to either win the point outright or get an easy volley. The fact that this guy has a 1handed backhand is irrelevant (even though it's nice to see) this is just an essential scenario to be training whether you have 2 hands or one on the backhand. Highest part of the net, and most of the time you're well inside the court - so you're really going to have to put loads of spin on it to get it over and in, but not sacrifice too much power where your opponent can pass you because it'll likely be their forehand. A really tough balance to get right, and do it consistently. Great video
I think he should be a bit further from where the ball is dropped. Chances are slim opponent will drop the ball with you right there in ready position.😅
Estos videos son para una gran masa de personas que siguen una red social y no para enfrascarse en una complicada disertación de una práctica tenística muy propia de personas como ud,que son infaltables en estos espacios ,para criticar y pontificar
@@JorgeRivera-ju3ne 🤣🤣🤣 tenés razón fue bastante largo mi comentario, pero crítico, no creo. El comentario fue 100% aporte para el drill y el video, pero dando mis sensaciones sobre porque es tan útil hacer este drill. - no quería aburrirte con la disertación 😂 es que el tenis es un pasión mío, y cuando empecé escribir no lo pude controlar 😉
EXACTLY. Dropping drills suck. You have to SEE the ball coming first to get into position to hit it. No amount of “technique” can help you if you can’t get into position. You can do technique in the friggin mirror. Also look at his left foot. He should be higher on the toe for balance…
Good to practice bending lower for the low balls, and learning to regulate the correct shot depth as your court position changes. Also harder to generate all your own power on the backhand side like you have to from a drop fed ball vs a groundstroke coming at you.
Lendl then Gasquet ;) Lendl learned me to keep my back standing "straight" ... when i was a pure mac's fan ;) then , far later, was happy to see Gasquet had MY backhand ^^^^
Are you sarcastically saying that any exercise that isn't identical to matchplay lacks all value? Or perhaps the truth is that ALL exercises are artificial in some way, given they're not identical to matchplay
This may sound like a really silly question but I genuinely have no clue. If this a one handed backhand as the hand being used has the palm facing away from the net. If he was using his other hand would this then be forehand? And if he then used both hands is it a 2 handed backhand? Is it the fact that he’s using his right hand the thing that makes it a backhand? Sorry for the questions but searching on Google has just confused me even more.
Not keeping his head down through contact. Works great when the ball is just sitting. Not so much under match conditions. Watch Fed for extreme counter-example.
He's not wrong, you see him drag the ball right at some contacts and even give it a little unwanted side. Could use a bit more stretch on the release. Footwork is very stiff, need more smaller steps towards your hit.
@@FoobsTon yes there is, Quick Step happens at contact of opponent ( which isn't here right now) then always small steps all the way to contact for a perfect contact point. Here you see the contact point is shifting a bit, trying to lean more then getting his footing in order. I mean the form ain't to bad.
BVkhand swings awesome great strength agility as well as stance movement of both feet p LMK cement coordination and focused! Yeah! Great practice swings.
Muy bonito se ve, pero el juego con los pies rodear la bola y la terninacion, la rotacion de la cadera para darle peso y velocidad a la bola donde quedan?
Super hard, to hit a ball that low ,that close to the net with no pace coming at you,to hit it bk with pace, even with a two hander. I noticed he kept his shoulders squared, he didn’t open them which helps. Quite frankly, unless he’s pulling out all the stops- a topspin string, heavey racket with lead tape on the head , with the racket strung tighter than the manufacturers recommendation, all to enhance topspin, I have no idea how he can do this. The wrist of the Gods?
Ta technique est parfaite, ainsi que ta prise de raquette ,torsion du corps, et flexion des genoux. En situation de match tu auras aucune difficulté à échanger contre un adversaire de ton calibre,,,, qui est très bon. C’est pas évident pour certaine personne de te féliciter.. Félicitation tu fais l’envie de plusieurs personnes. Les revers à une main = WOW
This drill is relevant for winners who had prepared the point and now just have to secure it. Now if you jump around and fly trying to catch a very strong and bouncy ball to your backhand: maybe just let it go and try not losing the next.
The likelihood of a one hander winning another Grand Slam is about 10%. Titsipas is the closest one i can think of... He gets dog walked by Carlos and Sinner on the regular. 😂
See. That’s the problem right there. My 59 year old knees don’t agree that that’s the proper position for them. They’re more like stand completely vertical with “NO” sudden movements. And definitely don’t try moving laterally unless you’re ready to get both knees scoped for 7th time each. Better stay at home and watch it on tv😭
Obviously, some misses are OK, but you're training your eye/arm for the optimum swing and contact point, so hitting it long does not help when match day arrives.
@@finnarhelger7471because tennis has changed. Tennis used to be a power game where hard-hitters were dominant like Blake, Roddick and Safin. Now with different balls, rackets and playing surfaces the game has slowed down drastically. Now hard-hitters can only prosper on grass.
@@bonzwah1this is an amaturish training drill. This way he will never be somewhat good. Like scoring penalties without a goalkeeper. Or practicing basketball with a ladder.
@@sakshamsanwaria7486 Roger is a genius, he didnt rely on training. Roger's style cannot be taught. Also that kid isnt young, he should be way better by now if you want to compare him to a pro like Roger. His technique and footwork isnt good yet, which is most important. In a match the ball never drops like that, so the used technique is irrelevant, even if he uses an underhanded serve.
