So glad you are creating content again. Your ability to explain things and make them intuitive is very powerful.

Thankssssss super coach

What is your stance on grip sizes for a more wrist action. Smaller the looser the wrist, more wrist action?

Garbage in , garbage out. Confirmed.

You make the BEST videos. Thx!

It's primarily about speed, because heavy = momentum, but spin adds some heaviness (angular momentum) as well.

What’s racket are you using ? I’ve seen your vids for years. Same racket.

in practice, I often hit deep, low, fast balls with top spin. They are moderately safe and clear the net by 2-3 ft, however, bounce is nearly 3ft too (50% bounce ratio for tennis balls).

ThNk you

I achieved both understanding and muscle memory of pronation in tennis just a couple of weeks ago. I’ve known about the definition for more than a decade, but only got the feeling this month. And it feels wonderful. I would describe the result of pronation as force that drives the ball forward into the service box. In nerdy terms, it’s the component of the hitting force perpendicular to the racket face and pointing towards the service box. As all serves needs to go to the service box, then any serve (using Continental grip as Tomaz said) must have this result that was caused by pronation. I further consider pronation to result in a a position of strength and stability for the arm as the racket hits the ball. In simpler terms, pronation gives you the “slapping” action on the ball. The spin and kick comes from the grazing action. The proportion between the slapping and grazing actions determines the type of serve (flat, kick, slice)

very very good video!! I have been a subscriber for few years, and I must say, you never disappoint

Very good basics lesson for those of us who need to break bad habits and for beginners and intermediate players

Racket acceleration is the key

Lose the music please, distracting and competes with your instruction.

Fantastic demonstration and explanation! Thank you!

what about straight vs bent for backhand?

Risk analysis based logic makes each situation more simple to get. Thank you

I guess this is what Rafa does very well?

Very important and overlooked factor. Thanks Tomas for this video

I struggle wen up 5 games and need to close the last game for set. Tried ur steps no luck. Any tips plz anyone

Very very very well filmed and edited. Thank you!

Good IN-DEPTH analysis. Thank you.

Interesting. I have an eastern grip and a more flat type of stroke, like Del Potro or Federer, and I often hit with top spin players. They have more difficulty returning my deep balls then I have with theirs. All I have to do is back up few feet and hit the ball at hips level. Since a top spin ball is usually travelling horizontally slower than a flat ball, I have more time getting to the ball. It’s once it bounces up that the ball is faster. It’s a timing adjustment. But with more flat balls, they have less time to move around to the ball and they can’t be too far from the baseline because the ball will be too low to hit with good pace with top spin. But that’s is for 4.5/5 level players. I guess better players have a different reality.

I was waiting my whole life these kind of practical tennis instruction videos on internet! Keep going with these contents! Supporting from Myanmar (Burma).

Thanks

Great video. I use the heavy ball against opponents and move them and make them run and get an opportunity ball and then I attack

Great content! But I am a bit confused by one aspect. The top spin shots without depth look very similar to flat forehands, I always thought top spin shots had a lot of loop due to the low to high racquet motion and hence depth as well. Could you clarify? Thanks

This video (along with your neutralizing ball video) completely changed my approach to the game! Brilliant explanation! I can't wait for the final video on HOW to hit the heavy ball (both sides hopefully). Got me wondering, based on the need for a heavy+fast+high ball, why isn't topspin more of a priority for the 2HBH? Seems like a flatter 2HBH is acceptable by most teachers.

Bravo! Very technical stuff Tomaz. With a lot of evidence to back it up too. Thank you!

How can you talk and provide commentary while playing man?

wow. thank you so much.

Excellent concept, beautiful presentation and clear examples. Now what can we do to get the part 2 sooner than later? 😀

Tomaz how do I join your members only group? When I watch your regular sessions there is no place to join the member group.

In the end, it is the ball position which determines type of sever: straight-up for flat, slight right for slice, slight left for kick. Very well explained, subscribed.

FINALLY the best explanation about pronation on the whole internet. THANK YOU, Tomas!!!

Great 👍

If we want to make correct line calls, should we focus on the bounce, which is hard to track? Thank you!

That's what Rafa does at the French! Having all 3 elements at the same time with the trajectory of a lefty player. It must be an insane "gym workout" playing him at Roland-Garros.

Mixing up one’s shots is the key to winning tennis matches.

Is the outdoor court synthetic grass topped with sand ?

Tomaz, you have such amazing quality of tennis content...you don't just show the destination, you lead your viewers through the journey. Thanks a lot! Can't wait for the next video in this series!

Outstanding course video. Thank you🌄👁️🙌✨👏🏽👏🏼

Upping your production values I see. Very good structure to the vid. Excellent advice as always.

Great video

Evidence-based tennis video - painting more than what a thousand coaches can say... Thanks Tomaz!

👍 👍 definitely passing this on to my class.

Totally agree with height and spin. But with respect to speed, isn't depth more important, and safe?

Who's captain America? 😂😂😂
