How to consistently hit BETTER GROUNDSTROKES?

[@kpwand]

What I love about PM is that he always encourages the player and doesn't let them go into self-criticism mode. 4:50: the player is about to lightly chastise herself with an average effort but PM comes over the top with "good job" 3-4 times while looking at her in the eye. Let the player make mistakes while learning.

[@PropheSAY]

I could watch this all day.

[@purestormtour]

This is so good. It's difficult to unlearn a familiar habit but the student had a great attitude and the coach was really encouraging. Short cross opens up so much more of the court. Great stuff. 👍

[@delplaya5]

Had her understanding the mechanics in no time. She has a lot of potential.

[@vitriolhachedeueysseokatre]

You know you're on the right track when he says "oulalalala, fantastic, yeaaaahh". Basic 101. 👌🔥

[@fabiograppasonno1495]

I really love this way of learning a new technical skill passing by going through preparatory exercises and then trying to apply this technical gestures in the court, during a rally or a match. That's interesting how coach Mouratoglu started with this girl... he made several compliments to her and when she initially made mistakes he continued to encourage her. Great job coach, you're the best!

[@fabiograppasonno1495]

Althought modern tennis is characterised by the importance of power of the shots and the physique, it is equally important to find angles by every court areas and put the ball in precise points, even at the expense of strenght.

This was super awesome good stuff...

[@ln3995]

Thank you for the lesson

[@arisetyawahyudi8782]

Best coach in tennis

[@GeneralRock114]

Based on what results????

[@15years15]

It's a very good lesson :)

[@BCSimonYT]

wow amazing coach

[@vikrai9272]

I recently started learning or playing tennis and bawd on your instruction I did few weeks of practice and I’m doing ok and not bad but whenever I try baseline it goes out and have some issues with back hand

[@Josh-tu9ji]

same here, its really about getting the reps in. Being able to hit constantly and get a feel for the racket

[@briki64]

get a semi western grip, loosen wrist, step through the ball, follow through

[@Frilleon]

@@briki64 what’s a semi western grip please

[@张陶然-t3g]

I have the same problem with girl like head of the racket did not low to brush the ball to cross the net and use too much hand cant hit short cross,now know how to solve it thanks

[@thenaturalyogi5934]

The lesson I got has nothing to do with the actual mechanics of the backhand but rather to move my feet all the time hahaha I will be more aware of this in my tennis training låter on in the day.

[@tennisfitapp]

Nice session, yes she has to go more under the ball and use left arm! Also she can use her body a bit more to go easily cross as all should not rely on "arms only"! When you open more just before the contact - than its easy to go cross! 🎾

J'ai une question Patrick, j'ai 24 ans je suis passionné de tennis et je joue depuis 6 ans maintenant, mon rêve cest de devenir tennis Man professionnel mais je ne sais pas si c'est possible à mon âge, tout le monde me dis d'oublier ce rêve idiot mais au fond de moi j'y crois , j'aimerais juste avoir l'avis du meilleur dans le domaine pour m'aider à y croire

[@ba177ba18]

thats a huge 12 years old ?!!!

[@Rll11.n1]

Her hip is too locked so she cant get rotational power. Her front toe needs to be pointing down the court instead of being parallel to the baseline.

[@chemasevilla1]

Pena no saber inglés yo prefería lo pusiera en letra traducido

[@rublo1]

that waa frustrating to watch...she didn't get how to brush the ball short cross and use the wrist

[@observer1111]

I hear from him all the time - everything is good, good, good, but in fact I see - everything is bad!)) 🤦‍♂She needs some time to adapt ! Although according to her skills it should be much faster!))☝

[@vijaynarsapur147]

The instruction is ok. but your man/woman management skills...wow! just, totally...wow! you should have been the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company Patrick...

[@sach8906]

@@harryp3804 We can't judge a fish by its ability to climb trees. Tennis is not their number one sport. Cricket is and they have the infrastructure for it and the results. Tennis, they have a few flashes here and there. It is surprising you call doubles a sham! I don't know if you are doing that to discount their achievements or hold doubles in contempt in general?

[@JeromeBenton1960]

Throwing, Feeding, Throwing, Feeding.... why on heavens earth most of tennis teachers avoid playing with their students? Feeding in general is ineffective!

[@suandipratama8344]

ineffective according to who? any data to back it up? thanks

[@Nik_the_F]

This is commonly used to improve technique. Several reasons: You can control the throw much better when you're just feeding it closely by hand compared to playing it with a racket from across the court. You're close to the student and have a better angle to analyse their strokes. Focus is on the student's movement, not on handling all kinds of balls from the opponent. Also - watch the video. It's one of the basic teaching methods. You start easy (feeding by hand) and progress to more difficult (playing from across the net and further). Apparently you're not a teacher.

[@Powercise1]

You could not be any more wrong. Hand feeding is an art that has developed many world class players. Playing comes in match play and match play only. Every kid looks amazing hitting with a coach but many fall apart in matches. You use hand feeds to work the player into all sorts of different situations. Then they play practice matches and tournaments to work on what they learned.

[@jasmine55000]

Hand feeding and basket feeding are only good for working on techniques. To truly get a player to high levels, a coach needs to hit with the players.

[@jasmine55000]

Best of both worlds is to hire a hitter and the coach observing close to the player.
