Superb video. Great framing. No tricks or cuts. Just perfect. Better by far than any tv coverage with all their cameras & the latest technology.

You people are awesome!! Been trying to adjust my backhand (I’ve been “over-swinging) and saw one of your training videos where Federer appears, not this one. Met with my coach today..... between my lesson and this video, I now totally get what I was doing wrong!!!! Thanks all!
@BrianBurki11 жыл бұрын
His ball tracking skills are so perfect that just prior to contact his head is moving exactly inverse to his hitting arm. And then his head stays locked on the point of contact until the swing is complete. It's like somebody wrote an algorithm for the perfect tennis player.

This is GREAT! Poetry in motion! Every player just learning how to play should watch this more than once to see what's really going on in hitting tennis shots, footwork, where power really comes from, racket angles and more. Seasoned players can appreciate it, too. What a GREAT IDEA for an instructional video and I agree, it really is art, too.! Some music could be nice as an option you can mute or not. :) Brad

Watching this in 2019 anyone? «Oh my gaaad...» That's the most accurate representation of what it feels like to watch Federer play for the first time (especially). Did the same to me in 2012 while I had marvelled at his graceful power, pristine touch, natural shot making abilities, and gliding footwork for more than five years on TV. This man truly is one of the best sportsmen ever, arguably the best. Even more impressive closing in on his 40's: unbelievable!

@chrisclark507810 жыл бұрын
i dont' see anything extraordinary about fed's shoulder flexibility. I see it a little bit in his wrist. Look at his serve, a lot of other players have much deeper bends in their shoulder. Roddick for instance. I think fed's coordination and technique is just next level and it gives you the illusion that his shoulder has this super range.

thank you ian, incredible footage! Notice roger tracks the ball differently the just about anyone I have ever seen, doesn't watch the ball hit the racket he watches the racket hit the ball from behind the string bed. Most good players "try" to watch the ball into the racket, federer "actually" sees the racket hit the ball from behind the strings I have tried this "technique" myself but my arms are not long enough and I wind up on my back foot Thanks again for this great clip

I've been going over the specs & the 90" is heavier for better control. I've been playing with a Pro Staff Classic 95" for years, so maybe it's better if I stuck to that one. But, I had the new one (95") in my hands a couple of days earlier, man, those things have become really light. That's why I'm considering a 90"
Very helpful... watching at full speed you can't see his style or form

Favourites, people? If you'd care to share your voice. For me, so far that I've watched, the backhand at 3:00 is pretty sweet. Imagine trying to stay with that, I can sorta imagine facing that ball in a rally and just feeling the spirit drop a little to feel that he'd be so ready after that swing..
