I'm gonna split my lifetime into BEFORE NIKOLA ARACIC and AFTER NIKOLA ARACIC..... My game is at a different level everytime I watch one of your videos and implement that in my practice!!! Thank you

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Ravi 🙏🙏

[@NickFoxVids]

Always enjoy these videos with Shamir! He's got a great attitude and it's so helpful to see him work through picking up something new vs. watching someone whose already done it 1000 times correctly.

[@johnwoodstock1893]

Man, the more i watch your vidéo, the more i'm understand, i feel how you have figure out each small détails of this game... Its freaking Amazing... Also, as a one hander myself i Can see myself in Shamir lessons and its 200% helpfull, in France i level UP from zéro to 3.5 équivalent, thanks you again.

[@vjprasad06]

What a great lesson!! I always get frustrated at myself when I over hit the ball as I move back. This video explains what I should be doing. Thank you so much :)

[@bkatbamna]

I was wishing that you would have a video on the forehand that was as helpful to me as the video on the one handed backhand and I found this. Thank you so much.

[@ap7498]

Thanks!! You’re right, this is a difficult movement/load position for some players to find. They struggle to find the wide base and measuring the semi open stance. 👍

[@matthewwoodhead6161]

Excellent focus on a semi open stance loading the back leg , love your vids 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@tennisparisbrothers8001]

Excellent lesson really well explained as well👍🎾

[@acikacika]

Bravo Nikola, svaka cast, izizetno korisna lekcija. This the critical weak link in the chain of gameplay intensity mindset that many of the reacreational players suffer from. If you take in consideration that a majority of game strategies on those levels is falling on a simple "stay in the rally" defensive shot selection with a ton of air balls and long and slow deep shots, this might be one of the only remedies that can heal that lack of intensity that occurs behind the base line in defense. What's fascinating, this correction could and should be applied in the net game situations as a general rule with short ball attacks or drive volleys when cought in tight space for execution. Your lessons are right on point, the fat is trimmed, it's straight to the meat.

[@deepsagar9]

Exactly the lesson i came to youtube for help. Thanks a ton

[@absolutepowercorruptsabsol1864]

Great patience Coach..👍👍👍👍.Hats off Sir.

[@PauloWang]

One of the most interesting lessons that I've seen in tennis, never knew about it. I do this mistake over and over and only after watching your video I figured out that falling back is a mistake.

[@rtrc7976]

The great thing about his videos is he shows three things: 1. What is the mistake 2. How it affects the shot 3. How to hit it correctly Most other tennis videos show just the third part and that isn't clearly explained either

[@vanvalium]

Nice lesson. Could you do a video on the backhand smash?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Sure

[@davelam4497]

Just discovered your channel and been watching the series with Shamir Love the content as these are the exact issues I have trying to progress beyond 4.0 to 5.0

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Dave 🔥🙏

[@MrMSS22]

Very insightful! On the (especially one-handed) backhand, this would be even more interesting :)

[@IntuitiveTennis]

coming out soon...

[@junaidzaka2365]

@@IntuitiveTennis yes!!! That is something I constantly suffer from on the one-handed backhand

[@PhantasticTruth]

Every time you show a new way to move...it's like you show me a new dimension in space time and my reality blows up into a billion pieces of brain matter. I love you man.

[@vassilis9635]

I have heard that this footwork is called X, great notes and remarks on the player. Pretty comprehensive also. Great job!

[@walterhayley7252]

Nice lesson...

[@bethi9726]

Sehr schwieriger Inhalt, top rüber gebracht. Hier noch ein Tipp von Trainer zu Trainer: Du hast ihm das Bild vermittelt, wie es richtig aussehen soll, deshalb hat er eine Zeit lang nicht gewusst, was er zu machen hat, also wie er es anstellen soll. Ich hätte hier noch ergänzt: "Bringe in der Rückwärtsbewegung deinen Kopf nach vorn zum Ball!" Er fällt aus dem Gleichgewicht, weil der Kopf zuerst zurückweicht. Das passiert bei fast allen. Wenn man diesen aber dem Ball entgegen streckt, landet man bei einem Schritt nach hinten mit dem dominanten Bein auf dem Ballen statt auf der Ferse und man kann frei drehen, also durchschwingen. Sonst super wie immer, sehr hilfreich!

[@youguess8979]

Great video. Thanks sir.

[@96mcorsa]

Great content - always learn something from your vids. Especially find learning footwork patterns very helpful... I think he had trouble catching on since he was trying full speed shots from the get go. You break it down nicely at 5:36. If he did as many reps as necessary to feel the technique first and slowly build up the pace, I think it’d be a solid lesson.

[@KTR147]

Great insights! Reminds me of of the teachings of Oscar Wegner. Thank you!

[@erichuang2310]

Definitely. He is a big advocate of open-stance forehand which is key to this footwork. Hit across the ball (circular) vs. through the ball (linear, closed stance).

[@erichuang2310]

Fed doing the pull back forehand footwork! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-zqpWBrqmgiZYm19s

[@chrysomallosromeo1051]

I saw Alcaraz doing the same in slow motion it's a regular semi opened or opened stance with the forward leg moving backwards.

[@pbillings808]

Biggest difference I see is you load hard on rear foot -- mostly stopping the rearward momentum -- and actually move that foot *forward* as the other comes back. Shamir mostly pivots on that rear foot (and even moves it rearward in the comparison at 6:20) as momentum continues rearward.

[@karlopeternel7685]

👊 Just bang from the OPEN stance

[@Lunchpgap]

i always wondered if i was hitting these shots incorrectly and now i know i am. subtle but important distinction. also, i feel like the difference is the timing. it looks like with the correct way, you're turning your body a micro second earlier to have your non dominant leg turn over.

[@lloydmacaya3311]

Great video, can you do one on backhand falling back?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

We did, it’s coming out soon...

[@pl4851]

@@IntuitiveTennis that's great, can't wait (thanks in advance)...I have problem of falling back on backhand when dealing with high ball on my backhand...

[@jamesj590]

It really is incredibly difficult to consciously override habits/muscle memory in split seconds. Props to Shamir for his attitude and likewise the coach!

Svaka ti cast

Hvala

[@mpnv1990]

If you pull back, does that allow for your shoulders to stay neutral or slightly tilted downward and this be able to keep the racquet face closed?

[@josephhodge7114]

he’s starting from a closed stance while you’re starting from an open stance

[@Karien97]

What shoes are you wearing!?

[@erichuang2310]

Nik, is the mirror image of this footwork what is supposed to be used for the 2 handed backhand? In other words, plant the left leg in back and swing around the right leg?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

It’s different on the 2-hander

[@erichuang2310]

@@IntuitiveTennis Can you make a lesson video? I haven't seen anything that explains the proper way to pull back on a deep ball to the 2-handed backhand.

[@zackaaron6487]

I seem to not be able to find any forehand slice tips on your channel. Am I missing some?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I don’t have any, will post tho

[@d-weezy]

Perhaps having your student practice some shadow swings without trying to hit a ball first might help. Takes one variable away. Once he gets the hang of it, then introduce a “live” ball.

[@rdchenweb]

Great lesson because it's a subtle difference that makes a huge difference. Think Shamir would realize he was spinning not pulling sooner, if you video him and give him an instant feedback. Somehow coach's immitation of what I'm doing wrong just won't sink in as fast as seeing it on the video.

[@branimirkrasina6960]

He is still falling back😄

[@maxwelldewinter]

I wish you showed the technique Fed uses on his FH when he's jammed. He literally takes a step backwards simultaneously hitting the ball with an exaggerated upward motion.

[@mattwaler]

Does anybody else hear Mario saying "wahoo" at 2:52?

[@rbutthamilton]

Wouldn't calling it a semi-open stance be easier to understand!?

[@alessandrosig]

its easier understand the move than to perform on the court . i think that your student have a too narrow stance running backwards and at the moment to hitting the forehand falling backwards was the natural result

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Very true

[@jgunnink3]

I think generally this player just needs to hit his forehand with a more open stance. He may need to make his grip more western to do so, but it would probably help his forehand in other situations as well.

[@stpetetennispro2012]

When I teach this, I refer to it as a Reverse Pivot, such as what a basketball 🏀 player would do.

[@ricoianbal]

Anyone else jumped when the ball came straight to the camera?

[@flexleecu]

Falling back - land on right leg. Pulling back - land on left leg

[@toddcuster3557]

Either way you push forward as you hit

[@trex1448]

his swing is back to front, low to high. He doesn't rotate.

[@dmitryprivate6558]

I hope you told him that when you say "you are playing like a pro" is just a figure of speech :) You don't want it to go to his head :) Thank you, Nikola.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

😂 yes he knows it’s a figure of speech. An affirmation that he did a good job

[@Gustavo-xz8os]

Good video and lesson, that guy is a really slow learner for a 4.5 player

[@micahdornbusch3555]

There are several things wrong with this, 1. If this guy is a 4.5 I should be a 6 (I’m a 5.5) 2nd y would you rip a ball from being behind the base line, you would roll a high cross court ball. 3rd whoever the coach is has awful strokes and should not be coaching
