Backhand slice hack revealed!

[@nandrew111]

Love that he identified his player’s natural preference and made sure that it became a strength

[@ha-kx9we]

I mean he just corrected how the guy plays

[@camsellars]

@@ha-kx9wesuper necessary comment man.

[@DonJohnson791]

@@ha-kx9wewhat the guy meant is that he corrected the slice rather than advising against a slice. For average players slicing isn’t a great idea and most coaches will make you drop it and do the typical 2 handed backhand every time, whereas this coached saw he liked to slice and just helped him improve that. What kind of coach would you expect to not coach you on anything? Bit of a brainrot comment tbf

[@stevenguo3870]

​@@ha-kx9weI think u gotta give the coach extra credit for his care and attentiveness in his craft. There are some coaches who would tell u not to do something because it does not work for them. Those individuals are not true masters of that craft

[@lumberjack6533]

yeah man a tennis coach will tell u to never do a slice in ya life 😂😂

[@nekobx2094]

Brilliant!!! I'm trying to teach as well as Patrick. He knows how and what to say to students. Don't forget the "why"

I also like to Patrick

“i think your slice can be amazing” ❤

the power in wording when giving advice/criticism is SOO important! he did it beautifully here rather than saying "your slide could use some improvement" or "your slice is okay but here's how it can be better"

this dude is such a great coach wow

[@Creees]

he couldnt notice the horrible grip. also he does so many silly things maybe just for attention but i think he does so many bad things for tennis as he does good. i do like the uts showdown that they did

@@Creeesoftentimes when teaching novices a skill, you can only really focus on one-two things at a time. Throwing too many variables at the same time overwhelms is not as effective, because the student is given too much at once

Not a tennis player, but an athlete my whole life. In the couple seconds of seeing you I know you are an absolutely amazing coach. To find his strength accustomed to his style is amazing

[@ix69yn]

Beautiful! Great job coach on bringing out potential in students!

[@ix69yn]

The last slice was definitely improvement! Great job!

[@conman1395]

Force = Mass*Acceleration. If you move your arm faster, the percent increase in acceleration is going to be much less than just involving your body weight. You could be adding 4-5x more mass by adding bodyweight and pushing with your legs. But accelerating your arm 4-5x faster will result in a lost arm.

[@lewisreid7921]

This is more about force vectors. The arm action is slicing downwards to create spin on the ball, transferring your body weight forward is what provides the force vector in the direction of the net. The reason he’s getting him to slow his movement down is because the spin is generated during the follow through, after the racket has first made contact with the ball. Slicing first means you just hit the ball into the ground as he was doing. This also applies to topspin shot but with topspin it is much more intuitive.

[@diegowang9597]

I'd reference more of conservation of momentum under elastic collision than Newton's second law

Nerds

[@deeegeeekay]

@@ojsimpson4040and this is why you will be working the jobs everyone can do while they will be getting paid more to do something nerdy.

[@thechewydinosaur]

This is actually not true. The mass in this equation would be the mass of the ball because that is what is accelerating. Therefore, the only thing that affects how much the ball accelerates is how fast the racket is moving when it hits the ball.

[@ponosenslovenec]

POV: How to be a great coach. Good job!

[@JaapDJStudios]

It is amazing to see you adapt your coaching to the kid's natural stance and preference. There are so many coaches out there forcing certain stances and movements just because they work for most people. I love to see players with their own strange unique hitting style, while still hitting winners.

[@GLOKD]

He diagnosed the issue perfectly. All arm, no weight transfer.

[@johnpaul-th7ye]

What an amazing teacher!

[@Pegasios]

Perfect approach! Wow! Looking at potential and moving forward. Impressive stuff

[@ek1046]

Genuine authentic willingness to help like this will never cease to be refreshing. I guarantee you no matter what this person's future holds he will remember this experience and when he is an adult will greatly appreciate that someone who really didn't need to, took the time to teach him something. Check back in a year, he for sure motivated him. When you're out in the world remember that some people didn't have teachers of any kind, other than maybe what not to do. I sure didn't. If you think you can help somebody, try.

[@cesarfernandezlopez5063]

Good coaching,yes ❤

[@WayAlpha101]

I have that problem too! I only play tennis once every so often, but that's the issue I have with my backhand too! Thanks, I'll try it next I play. Fantastic coaching.

[@edwinquismundo2576]

Eye pleasing stroke slice backhand !!! 👍😁😃

[@jorxhnz]

He didn‘t get slower, he just aimed better😭

[@JBHACKSAW]

But the kid was hitting the ball without getting under it enough. That was the more obvious problem.

[@virgilioaponte9756]

A good coach is not the one that tells you the problem. A good coach gives you a way to fix your problem.

[@neithertwosturrr3016]

His legs aren't strong enough yet. He's got to work out more and develop the muscles to handle a more professional swing/stance.

[@matth748r]

Le GOAT ! Des conseils au top 👍

[@patrickmouratoglou_official]

What are the key components of a successful backhand slice technique?

[@nekobx2094]

Patrick I think it is the body as you mentioned and the shoulder. The bigger muscles.

[@djaziztube]

I think most important is to hit it in front of your body, which goes along with the bodyweight moving forward. I like to use the same eastern backhand grip that I use for my one hander as I feel my wrist can be in control out in front of my body more with the eastern grip. Also for a penetrating slice, a lot of wrist movement isn't really needed. An open racket face and body weight does the trick.

[@maxiv8744]

​@@djaziztubeNot body weight! Body movement! That will be right 😊

[@maxiv8744]

Three main components: the trajectory of the racket (horizontal and vertical), the angle of the racket, the speed of the racket (this is, of course, influenced by the degree of use of the wrist). Moving the body forward could mean, first of all, moving the shoulder region forward as a fulcrum for the arm. Consequently, the horizontal trajectory of the racket, moving along a much larger radius, would become similar to a straight line in the contact zone with the ball, which would contribute to a much more efficient transfer of energy from the racket to the ball. But practice shows that the movement of the body at a certain moment, before the movement of the hand begins, stops and only one hand remains moving. True, its movement occurs not from the shoulder joint, but from the scapula.

[@jayarr1761]

[@mrxman581]

Tennis pros today don't know how to hit an aggressive backhand slice because so many hit with a two-handed backhand. They end up usually putting too much air under the ball, causing it to float instead of slicing through the air.

[@firozshaikh8792]

Thankyou

[@IceClawz.]

Physics lesson: doing the downward action faster means the ball rotates faster. This causes the time it takes for the ball to complete its arc to be significantly reduced meaning the ball didn't have time to go over the net before being to low
