I think I was considered a pusher. So any video talking about it I find amusing.one video commenter said. What’s another name for pusher?.. answer: winner

I really like your passion you put into this wonderful sport!

👌🏻🙌🏻

Now here’s the million dollar question: suppose as a kid you start out with the WTA forehand but as you grew up and got stronger with your upper body, you didn’t feel the pressure to switch to an ATP forehand to appear more “manly” (because let’s face it, in this highly toxic world of tennis where ATP players are so afraid to come out of the closet, 75% of the rec plays and amateur players’ true reason for switching to the ATP forehand is to appear more manly, and even statements like “I wanna hit my forehand like Roger “ is really a thinly veiled “I wanna play more masculine”, but I digress). So let’s say this player who started out with a WTA forehand stayed with his WTA forehand ( because he was raised in a household vacuum of grandmas and a dad who didn’t care if his son was gay or not m). So he gets stronger , but keeps his WTA forehand ….so how will he fare against the other guys with ATP forehands? Keep in mind that he would have more brute strength and height to handle the heavy pace and topspin from the guys and in fact these shots will sit up perfectly to his wheelhouse with the pace he craves and allow him to whack that mofo ball flat down and hard for an offensive shot. For those of you with sophisticated abilities to put yourself in someone else’s shoes: this scenario would be akin to when you ever hit with a guy/girl your level who for some reason hits the ball hard and with lots of topspin but since their shots feed perfectly into your wheelhouse you are able to hit it back rather effortlessly and hit it back with conviction, which makes them wonder how in the world you were able to put away the ball so well off their offensive shot.

Great content - solid one hander. Would love to see more one handed content 🎉

Excellent..... Mini tennis certainly is better than pickleball and hones skills, reflexes and speed in the build up to playing tennis.

An axeeeeeeeeee 🤣

Great lesson... short and to the point.

Beautiful backhand! Don't hit this often but when you need it, you need it

Best advise

Yes

That wrist snap is good for drills, but I don't see it sustained over the duration of an actual match.

Keeping it simple. Not using next gen swings. Can older players use a modern swing? What racket weight is best

Brilliant, thanks.

So much fun!

Great way to work on feel and net play! Love mini tennis!

Watching you do drills or skill-specific mini games is awesome to watch. It shows me how I should be approaching my practice sessions.

Pickleball? The word itself says it all..🥒🚫

Great points! You should do a video showing an extended mini-tennis warm-up session. There actually are not that many KZbin videos that show longer mini-tennis clips. Usually they are just a few seconds. I would like to see 5 minutes of a high-level mini-tennis cooperative rally.

These two have cat like reflexes.impressive!

Tennis has been fucking itself over for decades. No interest in changing. Closest thing to it is the catholic church.

Greatest drill ever … it’s how I found Tom a video of him a a huge pro student of his playing all these 1v1 games !!! Best

Been a tennis player since I was 11 or 12 how do you do a “heavy” hitting stroke from the baseline?? Think Sharapova or Jankovic female tennis players??

This is just mini tennis.., i thought it was a video about the actual sport called touchtennis, wich is indeed way better thsn pickleball.

hitting your hand with a hammer is better than pickleball

We used "Mini-Tennis" as a conditioning drill in the juniors....only chips/slices aloud.....and no volleys.....using both boxes.....

Impressive skills. IMO there are many ways to use tennis equipment to have fun - play with less of the court, less pressurised balls, remove the serve, raise or lower the net. It is very flexible and can be made as accessible as pickleball. The problem is mental - the (adult) ego - adults seem to want to play full court with brand new balls, powerful rackets and standard rules, serving. If you are not reasonably skilled, playing like that is tricky.

Touch twnnis is awesome. Very tennis transferable.

This is a really high quality video and this is a genuine comment expressing my awe at this fine creation 🎉

"especially at a 45° angle..." that's it right there!

Pickleball is actually the perfect sport if you aren't athletic enough for tennis and your reflexes aren't good enough for ping pong

This is just mini tennis when you warm up before playing

This doesn't look like touch tennis

Yes because it takes some skill. PB in the analogy for modern America; quick and easy without skill or design.

I play both - IMHO any kind of tennis is better then pickleball. But the courts are so small and the game has basically no learning curve so it will be popular. But if given the chance to play any kind of tennis or pickleball - I choose tennis. Pickleball is useful though if you want to play something like tennis with seniors who don't play sports though. That is who it was designed for.

Yes yes yes, anything is better than PB!!! lol 😂.

fun rallies haha

Yes. Yes it is. And a lot quieter.

What ya reckon?

Thank you for sharing. I hope more coaches will use this knowledge to teach better.

According to intuitive tennis, firm and stable wrist at contact kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ebep1ph8aqbNksi=uDZ38z1BTJE6QZs9

100% its not a flimsy wristy flip like tom's demo kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6e6ZpKIacyfrsksi=YeFsxEIsGGShmgRO

Finally the truth ..i dont hit a huge ball...no fing kidding

Lame and not very elegant forehand. You can praise many things about Djokokiv, technique and style are not among them.

Soft hands….a bird in the hand. It’s that simple.

How about learn all the grips :-)

In Madagascar it is Moira Moira. Which is slowly slowly. I just started learning 3 years ago post-covid. With a bad bout of tennis elbow in between. I find that slowly is the best way to play.
