That’s a great drill with the ball placement 👏

Palm down is still the hardest part for me because I'm focused on pushing off with my back leg I forget to relax my wrist. 😊

What is your grip style? Western forehand? I don't know if they still call it that. I prefer one hand back hand. Can generate lots of power or spin.

two different balls. one is deeper than the other. hence one is taken off higher bounce. pretty misleading video so not apple to apples

❤ thx 4 that amazing advice, allthebest!

50 year old slice, technique, obsolete. Federer has modern slice. This instructor should stay in 1974, where she belongs

Nice shorts❤️‍🔥

Son mas o menos lo mismo.

Cuál de los 2 será el correcto

A bone in my arm grew wrong which makes me unable to pronate. Nothing against this creator here, this video title just freaked my out for a hot second lol

Love your videos ❤❤❤

Pretty awesome tips and very well explained. I've a little lag but not very much. Will be using a stretch bend to improve the feel 😊

Very good instructions ❤

Excellent explanation. Love watching your videos. Thank you.

Great video! If you have a tight serving shoulder, are there any exercises to get to the racquet drop?

Wow ! Thanks for the analysis ! I always liked him, and amazed by his forehand and footwork also. I know people are telling that it's a boring player only hiting forehand... but damn at his place i'll do the same ! That's an amazing weapon... and it make him an intelligent, patient and court wise player. The way he construct points is also 🤯 ! I don't know, maybe you need to understand better the tennis to enjoy him play, and seing all those details ! And also I like what Roddick has said about those FH with huge topspin... with the camera angle that we have on TV it's difficult to appreciate the quality of the shot. He said that this way the ball seem ordinary... but in fact the ball come to you with a lot of rotation and bounce over your shoulder !! This is difficult to return cause it's lead to: having to jump more high to hit the ball, hiting the frame of the racquet, hiting the ball with loss of control over it !! I really like Casper's forehand... 😍Nadal too is similar by the way !

Excellent tips. Thank you so much Meike!

Thank you coach for another great instructional video. It will take some time to correct and taping is extremely helpful to see progress

Meike can destroy your rhythm.

PERFECT ❤🎾

This is so helpful, Meike. What is frustrating is that I have the correct grip but somehow end up with the waiter's tray midway through the serve. I will try these exercises. One question: does it help to have a toss lag? Instead of tossing the ball at the same time as getting into the trophy position, does it help to separate out the two actions so one can concentrate on leading with the edge?

BALL MACHINE,15 MEIKE 0 😂😂😂Go on girl 🎾❤️

I like how you showed that

I learned something new today because of you. Thank you.

6.02 and 6.13 my wrist is in front of my right shoulder and over my right hip :):):) so you arm actually pointing straight forward to the net which is BS and the reason why your BH has no power !!!!! Its NOT like you say at 6.42 shoving something heavy away you get behind it and push !! well we dont push ower BH but we swing at ower BH !!! The position you actually show at 6.28 is EXACTLY the place where you want to hit the ball: ALL the pros try to hit the ball in that 45 degree angle and NOT in that 90 degree ( arm straight forward ) like you asking to. Again a disapointing explanation from an ex proplayer who knows how to hit a ball but has no clue , but is laughing with other coaches like PM

How can something so fundamental in athletic movement be so foreign to so many sports

You're an awesome Coach! Thank you for this lessons.

Nice video! arrived here after being lobbed to death of course... Was doing all the hard work, hitting nice approach shots or even going for the winner but my opponent was too fast and too good at lobs. So he killed me, not by winning so many points but mentally and physically (not easy to run forth and then back liek crazy, 10 times in a set and lose 8 of these points). So , i realised i was doing something wrong, it was too obvious that i was asking to be lobbed. Next time i will keep in mind to stay further from the net as you proposed and then of course train my overhead that is much more difficult than most recr players think.

Delbonis is another player with an abbreviated motion. Then there was Jay Berger from the 1980s who had a pretty powerful serve.

Meike, I love the fact that you emphasis the movement of the outside leg first and the continuation steps after contact. Same thing I teach 👍🏾.

Why?

Yup that’s me, guilty! I don’t keep my arm up long, either.

And why one must do it? Is there any explanation?

Love the coaching approach here. Rather than emulating the pros (99 percent of coaching videos), play winning tennis by mitigating limits in technique, fitness, etc

Funny, with my struggling to learn to serve, I take racquet with a continental grip and dangle it behind my head. As ball drops, I hit the ball. I’ve been getting in the box most of the time. This racquet drop is something pros do for more power, but they are doing it in a fast S motion from toss to trophy to racquet drop before hitting.

I would like to hear the opinion of a specialist in pinpoint serve. I believe this is all great explanation of a platform serve. The two techniques are significantly different and I don't think you can use this lesson for the pinpoint serve. Sharapova served with great power but was loading her left foot(help from the right-but secondary), hip in the court, and following into the court: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2XapWigotWeabc

KEEP GOING MEIKE ❤️🎾

Thank you very much.

Its self explanatory ...go on MEIKE 🎾❤️

Thanks, very informative and easy to follow! I have trouble at times with the trophy 🏆 position during my serve! Thanks again for sharing. God bless.

5:45 Federer? Oh his backhand? Looks like he cuts pretty hard down on it.

The girls grip take back goes more behind. The full extension is least behind for take back. People aren't analyzing correctly, bad eyes

Good advice 💯

Why are they dressed like janitors

I've been having this issue with ex college players I've faced. Getting killed with heavy topspin into the corners and big serving. Will try to incorporate not hitting same shot twice.

There is one more, used by players like Federer, Agassi or Davydenko: Taking the ball early, to take time from your opponent.
