You should be awarded the Nobel prize for physics influence on tennis. Absolutely love your content! Please keep sharing new content Especially on swing path of slice /kick serves Thanks a lot again

Haha The last clip was hilarious.

Thank you

Not sure what to think of this video but it intrigues me as there is a lot of shitty over complicated technical analysis out there…but the ‘modern’ way of hitting is simply different because of how hard everyone hits the ball now…injuries are a result of that by nature..also the examples you used of ‘bad technique or balance’ were simply adjusted shots off balance…that’s normal

[@joonnytt]

Maybe the ideal technique existists, but depending on the situation it differs(speed, placement)

[@deepseadiver8191]

Why is the player with most mentions in this video as having ridiculous technique (Serena) the one with most Grand Slam trophies? And yes, she played against tennis players with "perfect technique", according to the claim made in this video they should've beat her but they did not. Also, why is it nearly trivial to recognize a person by just their silhouette when we see them walking?

[@powerflail7832]

@ deepseadiver It is probably because the Grand Slam Trophies are NOT awarded for being the most proficient and elegant ball striker. They are given to those, who win more games than their opponent. And striking the ball well does not automatically equal to winning a match. Even though as a general rule, there would be a strong correlation between the two. *_-“according to the claim made in this video they should've beat her but they did not.”-_* Where have you seen such a claim been made in this video or any other videos on this channel? Are you hallucinating or just like making things up?

​@@powerflail7832 This is where: "Those who will employ their bodies in the most efficient manner, meaning, as much as it's humanly possible, fully utilizing all its mechanical capabilities while at the same time avoiding its natural limitations and weaknesses will ultimately have a decisive advantage in any kind of contest. Whether you like physics or not, that is what ultimately will rule on tennis courts." Therefore the question remains, how was Serena able to win so many matches while having footwork "that can only be described as clueless" ? Why didn't her opponents who "employ their bodies in the most efficient manner" more than her have a "decisive advantage" over her and instead she beat them so many times and won all the grand slams?

[@powerflail7832]

@@deepseadiver8191 I will never know how “Those who will employ their bodies in the most efficient manner… will ultimately have a decisive advantage in any kind of contest” could be interpreted as “They should've beaten her”. But be as it may… You were asking “How is it possible that Serena, with her “clueless footwork”, is able to win all those Grand Slams”. Elementary, my dear Watson! The overall quality and the skill level of modern WTA players - are pathetic. The “brilliant” USTA coaching methodology apparently has done its job and now Serena has to compete mainly against those who are even more “clueless” than she is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXKoZHqNZcymfNU kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWGcnZunhpqrpa8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKWmd3meoJ6EfdE Don’t take my word for it - take Raymond Moore’s. If not for the “freaks of nature” - Nadal, Federer and Djokovic - the whole “flea circus” with its merchandizing machine, better known as the “professional tennis tour”, would have to be closed down because nobody would want to watch their “productions”. Of course, for having those thoughts and daring to utter them even in private, Raymond More was promptly fired, so that people like you might not get any ideas.

Well I think that in this sport, and we can see that on the ATP tour, there are not rigid rules for hitting a tennis ball , considering that the ball never comes in the same way every time ideally to your contact point. So , many times during the game you have to hit the ball out of the text rules, and there is the talent of the tennis player who is capable of compensate all that problems and yet control the ball, of course you have to keep some basic rules like hit low to high and with the racquet face vertical at contact. That's why they say that there is a text technique and a game technique and this technique depends on the situation during the game.

[@powerflail7832]

++ Claudio Prado So what is your point? No need to practice because you never know what the next ball will be like? Is that it? Since you can’t predict what angle the next ball will be coming at - no need to learn, drill or to hone your skills? Just go out on the court and hope that the “talent” will take care of everything? Brilliant logic!

[@stevendickerson5186]

Vlad, at about the 8:53 mark you mention that your arms should be away from the torso on the backswing of the two handed backhand (instead of “wrapped tightly around” and touching it). Wouldn’t the torso be a natural stop for the arms in the take back when accelerating the hips and therefore be a good starting point and launching pad for the arms. I thought they should be away from the torso because of the “elastic energy” potential, but I don’t think you believe in that concept.

[@powerflail7832]

@Steven Dickerson Closer your arm is to the axis of rotation - slower it will travel when you are rotating. Take a long riding crop and a very short one - which one will be easier to work? You’ve got to use common sense and find a happy medium.

The perfect technique for rec players exists.. I call it the pickleball continental. One continental grip for 95% of shots. Plus a topspin backhand grip and and a fly swat eastern forehand grip for head high balls on the forehand side. The technique does it all, easily, sacrificing only power, which pickleballers don't need anyway.

As we have noted there is this so called "modern" ATP way of striking the ball which is fundamentally and substantially more advanced than the classical one, a biomechanically informed and optimized method factoring in elasticities of the body you denounce, discredit, discard, reject etc. from the outset. That is the biggest problem in your oddly vintage vantage point, the denial of real technical/theoretical progress and lack of a real notion of effortlessness and fluidity even if you loosely/ambiguously refer to these things. -Running is of course a different animal; running is just running, to put it poignantly; yet, even within its "simple" realm, especially in sprint definitive progress has been made since the days of Jesse Owens, maybe even more so in biomechanics than in anti-racist attitudes - even if those changes are not as groundbreaking, paradigm sifting or fundamental as in tennis. Otherwise/regardless/thus, these half-true provocative lessons of yours work as a potent antidote against all the non-sense and loose talk of subpar tennis coaching. You might be unfair more often than not (with your selective and biased examples and angle), but it should be justified by the pedagogic function and emancipated end result of your witty, delightful satires. Anyways, we need, you like it or not, a more open/wide/interdisciplinary if not ambiguous understanding of the process than the mechanical frame-work exclusively. Elasticity or flexibility or whatever you prefer combined with the mental aspect/subject aka as player should got erected above the physical foundation of purely theoretical striking mechanics of jointed rigid bodies as the course of learning goes on and finally this artificial ladder and its solid base must and will go altogether as we see the world correctly in the last phase of the development, to quote the philosopher mutatis mutandis,
