Roger is so smooth, it's really incredible.

[@dansam5842]

This video is pure gold, thank you.

[@Wannabe-Pro]

Yes, and so is the thumbnail!

[@-Munditimum-]

Great video. The student's movement difference is just huge. Credit to the great coach. Really diggin' the studio. Just lovely. Cheers! M

[@jamesmccallum6770]

'Flow' is so the right way to describe fed. The man moves like mercury!!

[@EssentialTennis]

💯

[@gcs7817]

Wow a world of difference … that extra time is critical for fluidity and playing loose

[@pencilcheck]

yea, i'm glad you are the first to talk about it. very advanced stuff, very hard to do I guess.

[@marcnoble9319]

Great exercise for much better footwork. Where I see a lot of problems is that other players have poor anticipation of where the opponent is going to hit so that they are often caught flatfooted. I mentioned to my doubles partner last week is that I am often looking at how the opponent is setting up and actually, if I have time, hitting the ball and coming off the racquet. He was actually stunned that I could do that. I told him it helps me anticipate where the ball is going so that I can "get a jump" on where I should move to set up to return the ball. To me, anticipating the direction is a big key to success.

[@leonardoleite1085]

Very interesting analysis.

[@gregglegend]

Excellent video - ps love your audiobook, am on the second run through

[@EssentialTennis]

So happy to hear you're enjoying the book! Thanks for your support 🙏

[@Chrisnado91]

Step one: have the speed and endurance of a Greek god.

[@EssentialTennis]

The less you're blessed with natural athleticism the more crucial these efficiency upgrades are

[@Vajra1021]

I only do split-step for return of serve ..I could do that for rest of the point..very good video ..thank you

[@gahooten]

Love the new studio.

[@Whisper555]

It is one thing to say players should flow around the court like Roger Federer, it is another thing entirely to have the physical capability and proprioceptive ability along with the tennis specific agility skills to do so.

[@KEITHBridges-ku7id]

I once saw close up Roger playing doubles - OMG he covered the net like a panther every volley a deadly winner his partner was made to look like a champion

[@RSH137]

i practiced this and it makes a big difference going right or left. Thanks I do have a question.. If the shot is a body shot, now what do you do?

[@liimey87]

Watching footage of the pros, there seem to be scenarios where the pros do this (land on the outside foot only, while pointing/leading with the other foot), and then other scenarios where they specifically do not (so, landing neutrally on both feet first). Are there knowable situational factors for what is leading them to using one vs. the other?

[@EssentialTennis]

The pattern I've noticed most often is the more trouble they're in the more likely the outside foot is to point on the way down.

[@kevincostelloe4006]

Im a bit skeptical that this is actually a technique you can practice. It seems to me that its more of a natural result of great anticipation. You split step then recognize the direction while you're in the air and then start the process of moving in that direction which by necessity, begins with planting the appropriate foot. If youre just a bit slow in your recognition or miss time your jump, you'll land on both feet which is what usually happens to average tennis players. Btw, add in the slide and really good tennis players barely touch the ground which helps with their endurance. They just don't expend as much energy fighting gravity.

[@JoeEngineersThings]

This is what a ‘split step" is supposed to be. What is commonly taught is almost as bad as doing nothing.

[@steliosgkontsaris]

The secret is: the aren’t trying to become no one, they are just trying to become one with the court, the flow of the ball, and the opponent and the game

[@EssentialTennis]

🔥

[@bucknut2000]

i dont get it vs a standard split step. They just time it better is all im seeing and they recognize the ball earlier so there no hesitation.

[@EssentialTennis]

You got it, exactly.

[@wiggi9339]

I remember watching him practice once--for nearly an hour he appeared to be floating like Muhammad Ali.

[@EssentialTennis]

So sad that he's gone!

[@wiggi9339]

@@EssentialTennis stung like a bee too, now that I think of it.

[@therealist9052]

The pros always demonstrate one thing best: tennis, like any sport, is 95% movement.

[@rkotnana]

Why does Fed look more like he’s floating and gliding as opposed to Novak?

[@deathbombs]

Like comment if you miss Roger!

[@tomk5238]

Wow how is that guy 3.5 😂 every stroke is just wrong.
