How "Lifting" The Ball Helps You Play Better

[@wasabikimchi7891]

Tomas ur too easy to understand and too good at explaining ultra important things.

[@jiwi736]

The observation, „your technique reflects your intention“, is so holistic and almost philosophical and encapsulates so well for me why these lessons are so good.

[@rosannasun99]

I have all the incorrect mental images, and beliefs that you named! No wonder my shots go into the net so often! I can't wait to go onto the court and put your advice into practice! All your videos are top notch. I am so thrilled I found you on KZbin. Your instructions have given me so much more solid understanding of the fundamentals, and dispel incorrect ideas I didn't even know I had! I love that your instructions are solidly grounded in biomechanics and the dynamic chain of movement. Plus your exercises are so simple, yet give us the FEEL of what you're imparting. "Feel Tennis" is a great name. Can't thank you enough, Tomaz!

[@feeltennis]

Wonderful to hear, thank you very much!

[@adman0828]

I've been watching Tomaz' videos for a few years now. Man if I lived in Europe I'd be figuring out a way to get over to Slovenia to train with him.

[@LubaLuba1]

where does he live? I would like to work with him too

[@stalonecobra5688]

I would like too!

[@ba177ba18]

This man’s teaching style is easy to understand. Thank you!

[@collinqu]

You are absolutely an awesome expert on teaching tennis. Thanks a lot for sharing.

[@heathermcdonald5919]

I've been playing for 40 years, and find your instructions so very helpful! Thank you for clearing up the fundamentals for me! I needed to get the rust off and you did it!

[@adrianboyddodd8007]

I believe this is finally going to fix my inability to keep a forehand down. Now instead of trying to avoid high forehand I will hit high on purpose. I never would have thought of using a mental approach to fix a physical problem.

[@williamforward7524]

I love how this video centers on something so simple but so fundamental! Thank you, thank you, Tomaž!

[@sneakyk006]

As an adult that just started playing a few weeks ago, I have to say your videos and instruction are amazing. Your drill are simple and break down the sport to its core aspects, such as the drill presented in this video about starting aiming high above the net while still trying to land in play, then working your way down. Can't wait to really start implementing these drills on the court. You also do an excellent job of explaining the mental aspects that get in the way of beginners being able to grow their game and improve. Great Job!

[@mukeshjoon7594]

Dear sir i am a Cardiologist and your job is essentially evidence based, so is your teaching.....i had been a football player,....started tennis few days back ....but i am happy to see that such logical approach is being taught......love you

[@markbelanian3303]

Tomaz, I am a tennis player for almost 50 years and I love your attention to technical detail ! Your surroundings look wonderful and for a non native English speaker your English is impeccable - I lived in ex-Yugoslavia as a boy and know your beautiful part of the world well. Keep up the great work!

[@paddlepower888]

Thanks!

[@dlind36]

Love the way Tomas incorporates concepts into his tennis lessons.

[@R3T41L]

Thank you Tomaz. Since i've started playing tennis i've been watching almost every video on this channel but sometimes i've get lost and i forgot fundamentals. Now am playing recreational league and i've won many matches against players that was beating me hard like 1 year ago. Because of work am playing much less now, only matches almost and i couldnt find my form last couple of matches at all. Then i remember this video and i've played best tennis in my life last time i stepped onto pitch because of this "knowledge" of lifting the ball. Am very grateful that someone like you are sharing knowledge for free on youtube with so much passion and dedication. thank you man 👏

[@feeltennis]

That is wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing and giving me motivation to keep sharing more ideas here on KZbin!

[@itecnus3490]

I've only been playing for 2 months and the videos help a lot. Thanks

[@juliashulgin4232]

Thank you for all your tennis lessons, Tomaz. I am level 3.0 player but my game (especially the serve) improved so much thanks to your KZbin videos. You are a Doctor of tennis. You first diagnose then treat the problem. 🙏

[@ClosetWorkshop]

You truly bring out the the inner game of Tennis! Thank You!

[@ezenwachijioke5919]

I must watch all videos from this guy. He is a good teacher

[@knotwilg3596]

Very deep insight. Here are the true fundamentals of tennis.

[@HerrJoehnke]

Dude, your videos are awesome! Great explanations with very helpful attention to detail. Love your channel!

[@rogercook4926]

Tomaz, your thoughtful explanations of the biomechanics of the stroke come across with clarity and purpose. Thanks for sharing.

[@martin1rx]

@ 9:51 beautiful backhand,Tomas. You're such a great instructor ! Thanks for posting.

[@thomasluhman6317]

The notion your technique reflects your intention is powerful! So much better than trying to change your mechanics when things aren't working. Congratulations! Does this apply to the serve? Do you have a video on it?

[@feeltennis]

I would start with the idea of throwing and swinging with the serve as the basis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXzIhIR-n9Jnna8

[@siegfriedschudel7024]

VERY GOOD EXPLAINED ❤ Thank you for those vital advices

[@johncabral1702]

I feel so much more confident on the court after I see this trainer's videos! This one on height intention has really helped! But also the one about hitting the lower part of the tennis ball, about deciding right away what hand the ball is going to so you can get moving right away, and how to toss up the ball while imagining you have it on a string, have all been great

[@maleman67]

Amazing concept Tomaz. Been following lots of your videos, this is one of the best, simple yet so useful in correcting the often made error of netting balls.

[@NatHarwood]

This, combined with your advice to step back and take balls on the fall has absolutely rejuvenated my groundstrokes. I feel like I've relearned tennis

[@mathematicus4701]

Thomas you are amazing, thx for your passion in Tennis and sharing your wisdom.

[@sriniviswanathan8523]

simple and awesome explanation. Thank you Tomaz

[@davspa6]

10:45 a key statement in video, "... your technique always reflects your intentions.". ☺️ You go into detail on that concept of intentions also in a video called "the most important element in tennis for consistency"...

[@ebuks4ever]

I applied this last night and it was awesome. i felt more in control

[@raja2utube]

Sweet and short to the point. Thanks for your efforts.

[@mikebaker38]

These videos are the best I've seen and I've seen many. Very clear, very logical. Thank you!

[@Tennis_MenACE]

This is phenomenal instruction.

[@hudiantotkt3792]

First play tenis its look soo difficult..after listening tomas n team feeltenis..now i fall in love wth tenis...good n tks

[@twn5858]

When you put more lift on the ball that also puts more topspin on the ball which helps keep the ball in so long as it isn't a scooping shot.

[@ramimasri996]

Just found your instruction videos recently All I can say is thank you! For once I found someone who can clearly communicate his message. You knowledge of the game is amazing, and I find that watching all your tutorial videos has made me "think" and "feel" more clearly about my game. Great Great job Tomaz. Cheers!

[@ionicanosal1560]

Rami Masri ftgrrptppp

[@garygariani4755]

Tomaz: You are the best no doubt.

[@feeltennis]

Much appreciated, Gary, keep smacking those forehands! ;)

[@thertisan3440]

agreed. simple and to the point

[@beckyf2024]

We're so glad we found your video's!! They have such helpful tips. thank you!!!

[@cynthiamarquette4801]

Excellent concept: let your intention determine how to execute the stroke.

[@MrNDQuattro]

very isn't enough to say how useful are Tomas' videos

[@Humanhylyte]

Your teaching method and communication is great, I look forward to applying this training to my game, thank you.

[@matteom.d.9283]

Wow, your channel is fantastic

[@natarajasekhard2300]

Thank you Tomaz. I feel that you are a wonderful gift to Tennis world !

[@Judasmac]

Great video. Two thoughts. 1) It helps me to think about it as a variation of a topspin lob rather than driving stroke, imagining my opponent is at the net (like the second drill in the vid) and I'm hitting to get it over his reach and dipping down behind him, and then adjusting the arc down from there. 2) If your ball is going long, aiming lower, yes, but also or instead a bit more bite on your topspin will help bring the ball in and be even harder for your opponent to handle.

[@lorenzofontanella162]

I want to thank the instructor for the really basic instruction but really usefull. No theacher in Italy does that. I would really appreciate if you could make a tutorial on what would be the ideal distance to the ball in reference to different posions on the court and/or what kind of shots I want to play. Thank you.

[@JuanAMatos-zx4ub]

Technique always reflects your intention. Great lesson, Tomaz!

[@duwonrhee3589]

this is the best advice i have ever had in my tennis history

[@judyellsworth5703]

Always impressed with the instruction.

[@paddlepower888]

Ha ha. 10:04 "I stand at the net and ask players to hit over me. That gives them a very clear indication of height and they look for safe margins since they don't want to hit me in the head, unless they feel I talk too much." I think this helped me hit better the last three times out. Having more fun hitting after this tip.

[@SuiChoy]

AMAZING tip, great video Tomas

[@cyendsj]

great video!! keep posting feel tennis techniques

[@FairwayJack]

your advice about low to level is excellent 5:05 ...should I contract my bicep to increase pace ??

[@lederic]

Great instruction!! You have helped my game so much! Thanks, Tomaz!

[@davidbrooks4880]

Fab! Straightforward, articulate and logical. Thanks!

[@wontshutup1144]

Great Teacher

[@olegpukhlyak8052]

[@rubensmasters1840]

The best way to learn tennis. Absolutely great lessons. Thank you Tomaz!

[@szachistaz]

Technic follows the intention - great advice, very helpful! Also, easy to understand drill. Thanks a lot for this great video

[@JOSEANTONIODESIMON]

Great video, as always. Congratulations.

[@wangdu123]

I have been playing tennis for 4 months. I concentrate a lot on getting the fundamentals right and for that I always watch videos on feel tennis. Only feel tennis. Every time I apply watch u teach I apply it and see improvement but eventually I keep making the same mistakes. How can apply watch u teach to stay permanently with me? Great work Tomas

[@aravindkashyap1975]

Tomas, you are so cool, trainer. Thanks a lot for those minute level points and easy to understand. Thanks.

[@PSP5559]

"unless they feel i talk too much" hahahaha

[@szachistaz]

This is a really great video! Very helpfull to understand the concep of "lifting"t! I like also the drill where the student needs to play over the trainer!

[@lewisratzker8949]

Great instructional video Tomaz, thanks, very easy to understand & I'll definitely put this into action in a couple of days when I play again, cheers!

[@angieyang8028]

Thank you for making this video. This seems the solution to my short ground ball problem. Definitely will try it next time! 🎾

[@MAELOB]

Amazing this is exactly what my coach is working with me

[@sherdogsherdog4177]

after this video i think i found it where is the problem on my technique and i will try to fix it thanks a lot ❤

[@Lettucemode]

awesome video taught me a lot

[@seakingg]

Very good instructions. Txs.

[@mdougf]

Great stuff, as usual. Thanks

[@williey7663]

Agreed.... hitting into net and double fault are the biggest sins playing tennis.... Agassi dad told him that too,,,,and you know you are good when you are able to lift and ‘drop’ the ball in any spot on the court at your will 👌

[@user-pl4eu5jc5w]

I really appreciate your tips! Well Done!

[@joshiabhay1]

Thanks! Very helpful lesson!

[@SloanZurnToto]

Great info, keep them coming.

[@tomhu2286]

Make sense. Great coach.

[@ministerofjoy]

Thank you so much Tomaž.

[@ranjitarajkumari8746]

nice 1 coach..love this..thanks.

[@alanliebowitz76]

Thank you...that was very helpful!!

[@rickiepak3272]

Nice explanation

[@vadimbrodsky3321]

Good methodology to teach juniors and some intermediate players with flat strokes

[@goblin58617]

Your a Rock Star I love your videos.

[@camlendrim7609]

Enjoy all your videos. The balls you hit in this video as many others sound like they are hit quite flat. Are you using an eastern grip ? Thanks. Cam

[@dhodzmelgar2933]

Good video I learn a lot

[@arturogmo.walden2325]

Por favor traducción al español, sería de mucha importancia. Gracias

[@chestertham]

Thank you Tomaz.

[@edwardxu4672]

Nice 👍

[@vlruatasailo8863]

Tomas,i have one reauest,please how to hit a ball pin point

[@qwsdfglo]

Great theory,

[@ccsdk]

Well said. My problem is hitting balls at shoulder height and above. I'm never in the correct position!

[@Legnerps]

Tomas ... why do you not identified this swing path as .... Topspin ?

[@earlhaywood4372]

Good Show.God Bless You.

[@hmsapereira]

Great stuff as usual...

[@richardfaure-field756]

in your video on starting swing early to return deep shots what happens if the shot has a lot of spin as you wont know where its going to go

[@SandroBorazon]

what about the racquet angle and the moment to hit the ball on the previous bouncing trajectory and speed ... I know the combination of this elements is critical for consistency, and very difficult for beginners players, looking the ball coming strait to their face... could you please give us some tips?

[@RickBeacham]

Hi bro you mind if i come over and play on that awesome clay court? No clay courts here in Portland Oregon.. :( Thanks for the pro tennis tips.

[@chessbrilliance8783]

Can you analysd Nadal's topspin. It seems that he find the to hit the ball with a lot of power and spin at the same time. When i try to mimic what he does my ball goes either on the net either too high.
