In this tennis lesson, I help my student Shamir with his return of serve. Shamir is a 4.5 NTRP level recreational player and has trouble with his return of serve consistency, reaction time, and placement. Apply the corrections demonstrated in this lesson and you might see improvements in your return just like Shamir did.

Why we return from close to the doubles alley 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wja8bgYzX0U.html

@dmmusicmusic 3 года назад

Nicola, why do you not have him practice his slice return at all? or you just don't show it on video? I mean honestly, sometimes you have to right? back "in the day" my hitting partner and I would play serve return games where one player has to serve and the other return until the score is 25, win by two; our assumption was the server should always win and if not then he really needs to pick up his serve game. Good exercise or not? oh man, my buddy had an excellent return and I can remember serving over 10 deuces some games which was brutal but really prepare you for those hard games where you feel like you opponent just won't "die," because he keeps winning the add point.

Great video. I like how Shamir wasn't afraid to ask the "obvious" questions, as in a lot of lesson videos the student is a mute. I've been watching your videos for a few weeks, and it's crazy how I'm actually seeing minor improvement to my technique without doing the lesson in person.

@Pistefka 3 года назад

I also really appreciated Shamir's questions. A question and answer format tends to be more engaging, especially when the questions appear to be genuine, nand not just rhetorical questions. Seeing Shamir's mistakes was also useful - we can see what to look out for. Sometimes the reactions to the questions sounded a tad harsh, like "obviously!", but Shamir seemed fairly thick-skinned so it was OK!

One of the great things you do as a coach, Nick, is teaching your students how to analyze what their problem is in a particular situation and what the remedy for this is. A good example is around 13 min in your video. Practically none of the many coaches I've had over the years do this despite the fact that it is a critically important skill.

@IntuitiveTennis 3 года назад

Thank you George 🙏

@ConMan 3 года назад

I'm gonna have to start using these tips because I'm a 4.0 and still tend to return from right at the baseline. I played all through middle and high school, but never received much formal instruction. It's cool how this video feels like I'm getting in-depth coaching compared to other videos I've seen.

@joeyham08 3 года назад

One thing that I immediately noticed was the fantastic quality of Nick's kick serve. He has an effortless motion that produces a great deal of action and height. This makes me want to practice my serve even more. Oh yeah, the return advice was great also.

@lordbyron3603 3 года назад

Good lesson : It’s exactly what I needed. “... Don’t step towards the ball if it’s coming at you fast with pace ... cuts down on time ... take a lateral step .....”. Exactly!! 😆. Shorten everything. “Judge the ball after it has been struck”. “.... look at the ball!..,”. I’m 4.5 I can handle most serves thrown at me. But 5.0 and above is very difficult and challenging! 😆. The reference to Wawrinka was informative. I never knew why he bounces like that. I don’t get or understand the split step technique. I basically just sway subtly from side to side on the balls of my feet when returning a serve. Good advice as usual Niko. Thank you.

@danamann255 3 года назад

What a great lesson Nik. I'm really enjoying these videos. Some great advice, especially to watch the ball. I learnt something today about the kick serve return. I appreciate having Shamir be candid and ask questions along the way. Can't wait for the next video...

@cloudergnu 3 года назад

Absolutely wonderful. Big thanks to you and Shamir for doing this. All the time on TV tennis we hear how "oh he's got a read on his serve now" and I think a lot of us, myself included, try to become poker players picking up these tells and speaking for myself very unsuccessfully. I gave up looking for tells a while ago and have just relied on pure reaction to save myself some stress. These tips though are amazing and new to me. Actual measurable, improvable skills and not just "improving guess work". Love it. Thanks again

@michaelboyko5024 Год назад

This is a model lesson, indeed! I've been experimenting with kick serves and I've found something interesting for the recreational level playing. If the kick serve (either 7-1 and 8-2) is hit relatively slowly about 82-85km/h and when it's hit relatively fast 95km/m gives amazing notable differences! When slow the ball travells straight without curving, but it bounces up with really significant angle, it's something about one meter (3 feet approximately) to the side thus spoiling all the opponent's preparation to hit it back, usually resulting is a terribly jammed return or missing at all! But when this service is hit fast the ball's trajectory becomes curved but the bounce up loses almost all the angle and jumps along aligned with its flight trajectory. Personally I haven't developed my kick and spin serves faster than 95km/h, but a flat and slice serves of mine are a bit faster, often 105km/h

@2ndAveScents 3 года назад

You show him a half and quarter swing 5 times and he still does a 3/4 swing the whole time, also he has no split step only a little bouncing. Great video, thank you very much.

@nataliaprojekt6232 2 года назад

great tip not to try and anticipate the ball, but judge the direction after it's been hit! Also when you do the split step, you do it to be ready to hit, to be explosive, like you said, so it's important to make the student understand the actual purpose of the split step. I for one, am soooo ready to attack the return, I'm fully onto it, I hop and split as if my life depended on it, and I expect the fastest serve on this planet ;) but when the ball is actually hit towards me, I sometimes lose the rhythm (it's especially visible when the serve is surprisingly slow). I somehow....freeze after the split, and that's what makes it really difficult to return at all. My coach serves ca. 130 km/h against me. This is enough to get the return completely wrong if you over-anticipate.

@indirajayaraman4758 Год назад

Nice tips. I tend to just block the return of serve. Nice idea to hit a full follow through. I guess there is more control with this method. And aim for centre of court.

Backing up always gives you more time to react to an angle anyway so consider it a neutral decision to staying closer to close the angle a bit.

What about blocking serves in? Here you had your student return everything with a topspin shot. Would that be your general advice, i.e. to try and come over the top of the ball with every return? (Unless you're stretched so wide it's impossible to hit topspin and are forced to block the ball in, of course.)
