Game-Changing Tip From an ATP #25 Pro to Elevate Your Game

[@kencaine7756]

Pospisil was a really good top 30 power player but he's also revered in Canada for his Davis Cup play every year. I saw him play Davis Cup doubles with Daniel Nestor while having a bad back, and when interviewed afterwards, he said playing for his country was so important that he would have also played in the singles if he had to. He (along with Raonic and Nestor) are a key reason for Canada's success in getting to the World Cup stage where Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime and Pospisil playing doubles really took over.

Seems like a super chill guy, really like seeing these more casual hits from pro players, esp someone like Pospisil who's gotten to quarters at grand slams

[@ChangBangTennis]

Thank you for the comment!

[@theforehandguy]

I met Vasek at a nightclub in Miami and he was super chill

[@solomonomusic]

Awesome tip. Also love how clean he is with his footwork and stillness of his body through the shot. effortless power

[@ChangBangTennis]

Thanks for watching!

[@tennisjourney]

Vasek is so balanced and a great advocate for the well being of sub 100 ranked players.

[@brantswitzler758]

We need a quad comparison between you two!

[@ChangBangTennis]

I admit defeat.

[@anyonename8067]

Thank you! Footwork is fundamental

[@ChangBangTennis]

It is!

[@후리는테니스]

Great insight for me to improve my game. Thanks. Everything is in the basics when reaching a higher level.

[@ChangBangTennis]

Thank you!

[@humanentity2214]

Another awesome video.Vasek is a great player. He's wearing one of my old favorite Asics gel dedicate shoes 😆😊

[@ChangBangTennis]

Thanks! Haha nice

[@marktace1]

I looked at one of my matches and although my split step was adequate during points with a bit of old guy laziness in there, they were virtually non-existent after landing on the serve and not too noticeable on returns. That means I started almost every point a half step behind. I watched some video of the top guy in the country in my age group and he split step after every serve, although he didn’t do a split step and recover to the baseline like the ATP guys do.

[@ChangBangTennis]

Thanks for the comment. It's just something to try out.

[@vicplaystennis9158]

he looks like an absolute unit

[@ChangBangTennis]

I look like the opposite haha

[@PolKsio]

Yo is that a sniper ulti sound effect?

[@ChangBangTennis]

LOL 👍

[@pencilcheck]

Ahh, Posposil nice!!!

[@robinreviews5077]

Ngl, the split step isn't a secret to majority of the tennis players but for some reason no one does it. It's crazy to me how the best tennis players of all time like Djokovic and Nadal win matches primarily due to their movement and yet people choose to focus on technique over movement. I know split stepping could feel awkward and tiring at first, but through practice you will literally start flying around the court once you get the split step down. Not to mention, split stepping gets tennis players in rhythm, which is what many rec players lack when they play against pushers or junk ballers.

[@meinsouza]

hey man, what are your racket specs? (weight, string tension, what kind of strings you use and etc)

[@ChangBangTennis]

Wilson Blade 16x19 v8 with Solinco Hyper G strings, 53 pounds.

[@meinsouza]

@@ChangBangTennis did you customize it at all? I'm thinking about adding some lead tape to mine

[@honchopat7233]

Nice vid at the racquet club! My home courts

[@ChangBangTennis]

Thank you! Nice!

[@kingtrawal]

Can you beat Karue from HQ?

[@RapotatoGAMING]

no. he can't

[@pencilcheck]

@@RapotatoGAMING someone need to set this up so we can determine this, and if one time isn't enough, let's setup 5 of them this year.

[@livelovelucas]

no chance that he can beat karue

[@pencilcheck]

@@livelovelucas let’s put them against each other then we know for sure

[@livelovelucas]

@@pencilcheck in this guy's prime he would give Karue a nice fight, but karue's utr is more than a whole point higher right now and hes also on a 17 win streak in tournaments

[@brianburns77]

Really great stuff. He stays so low which for the average player is hard to maintain through the course of a match. That’s probably why his legs look like that 😂

[@ChangBangTennis]

Thank you! Haha yeah.

[@coralcho1037]

What tension do you get your racket strung?

[@ChangBangTennis]

53 pounds

[@Agent77X]

Carlos Alcaraz needs to learn this!

[@Paul-ke5yb]

No maple syrup chug at the end?

[@ChangBangTennis]

Lol

[@DanTuber]

When your 6'4" you got no choice but to bend down low.

[@ChangBangTennis]

Lol

[@roter13]

Vasek had so much potential but for some reason he was always getting fatigued during matches. Based on the size of his legs, you wouldn't think that.

[@grantmartin4773]

The way that guy sweats is unbelievable. It’s incredibly hard at that level to maintain a solid level the way for an entire match the way he dehydrates and cramps. Unbelievable talent and player albeit

[@Videolistener]

What exactly is the tip? That he jumps up instead of splitting out on his split step?

[@ChangBangTennis]

To try a different way of split stepping. Many people will jump to split step. You can try to "jump" out and wider with your feet instead of jumping up and down. That way you stay more level.

[@luckyvinny]

Need to get legs bigger ✍️

[@ChangBangTennis]

Same here.

[@pencilcheck]

if i'm in texas I would definitely like you hit with you a bit. looks fun.

[@nick4yt]

Vaseks cool as hell man, sick content as always

[@ChangBangTennis]

Thanks for watching!

[@pencilcheck]

Don't worry, you look like nishikori.

[@ChangBangTennis]

Thanks!

[@nicolasX2602]

The game changing tip from a pro is the split step advice???? This is tennis 101 :(
