Former D2 basketball player here, you might think ‘that is not that hard’ it IS. I was the best in my high school conference and my coach was sure I would make D1. I ended up getting one D1 offer from a bad school (I won’t say who out of respect) so I went D2. I almost never started and I was surprisingly one of the shorter players at 6’3”

What about that staple at the start of the grip? Do you need to remove that?

Love your tips

careful...foot fault :-)!

mine doesn't have a adhesive

What kind of balls these are

Great insight, thank you. Do you this this idea of tilting the upper body would work similarly for the one and two handed backhand? I have a one handed backhand and will try it out to see if it works.

Hey anyone notice when pulling too hard it starts to ripple in a weird way? Not sure if I bought a defective one

Nice! The tilt keeps the arm in the socket for power and control.

Isn't it inside out spin he is talking about ( diagonal spin, some golf metaphor etc...)

Thank you for giving us extremely informative and professinal explanation ! I had a match today, having a lot of trouble dealing with top spin high ball ! I'll try harder to be familiar with this technique !!

I checked several videos and this is the best tutorial. Instructions are clear with some useful tips. My results were great. Thank you!

First time I've seen this solution, actually that's what I did too. Still haven't mastered it, my hitting partners can't produce the high ball consistently, so I practice it when it's hit by accident

This is great! My friend and I are still beginners so we tend to moon ball a lot. I’ll try this in the next practice session with him.

You could just not grunt. You’re hitting with a ball machine ffs.

This is excellent which it just popped up on KZbin! Your explanation makes a lot of sense from a physics standpoint when the ball is at it's apex. When the tennis ball is dropping fast though (from a top spin ball), if you are close to the net, hitting the ball above the equator with a vertical or slightly closed racket face will likely send the ball into the net. Shouldn't we also add the trajectory, height and spin of the incoming ball into account? I would close the racket face on a on the rising ball more or less depending on how close you are to the net.

Great explanation of multiple options. Informative camera angles and comments. Thanks for the video.

Thanks man, very helpful

Good review but the music is annoying - way too loud.

I never realized the turning to the side tip. Now that I think about it, Nadal is so great at that. He really turns to the side when attacking a high ball.

Thanks so much great help 👍

Thanks much, so it's more like side spin, right ? or even flat ?

In summary this is Best Concept for recreational Or Advanced Players! Awesome!!!!

This is spot on. The best best best piece of advice is having the head of the racquet higher than our hand. For years I struggled trying to have a horizontal racquet, but higher, which made my racquet face too open and I flew the ball. Letting the head be higher totally was a game changer. Great video!

this is like how Sinner hit the ball if you observe his forehand..

Thank you for this very detailed instruction! This is what I was looking for but not finding on other people's videos. 🙌

Cool video. I never really understood the extension principle that you explain here. I always thought of more pushing with the arm but keeping the 90 degree angle more - which seems just wrong. I will say that when you actually hit the balls from the ball machine you have space between your elbow and body. But when you demo it your elbow is super close.

Piece o cake! Thanks. When do I use an overgrip? What's it for?

Thanks now I can get a better grip now its time to get back into the game

Where can I find such resistance bands?

❤

Awesome. I’ve always struggled with high balls. Time to put it to practice.

This has always been one of my favorite videos. I just noticed now the Tournagrip on the sledgehammer. 🤠

If you drop racquet like that, I am wondering how you can add a lot of spin. This may work for beginners, but not for advanced players.

These are great forehand concepts rarely explained in great detail! Amazing content

Newsflash ! Girls develop earlier than boys.Its a hormonal fact.So maybe dont push young bouys into doing retarded stuff they cant and should not do

Basically, just tilt bro

Keep practicing

This is how Berrettini serves. Great video! How do you hit a slice serve?

Great video!

Love your videos, one of the small number on KZbin who gives reasoning behind things backed by physics

Just found out that I can use my Head Pro grips twice. Awesome, thanks!

Just watch best players Fed Nadal or Djokovic. You just follwo them dont get too technical if they can win all theae grand slams then thats enough to win. Only what u need fitness and hunger with right mentality

the thing about high balls is you have to reach it, the essential thing about what you are doing here is stretching your whole arm to hit the ball which gives you the distance to that height, on low balls you can afford to have the ball to be close to you, but on high balls you have to give the ball the maximum distance from your body which is what you are trying to explain here.

WoW Thank You this a super clear explanation the best Video to this and I watched a bunch

🙏

one of the best videos on handling high balls. great explanations and demonstrations

Good video, very nice to watch! 😊

This is very impressive lesson. Excellent!

Reusing the grip is new to me. I'm going to give it a try. Also some people fold in half the first part of the grip.
