How to get out of a tennis slump (and some fun points!)

[@TheSklizo]

Have you ever struggled with a shot?

[@b.lakeberg7456]

Yes...every shot!😂 Great video! This list has good focus points.

​@@b.lakeberg7456Bwahahaha. That's true. Don't think about it, just be about it. 😂😂😂😂

[@TheSklizo]

@@b.lakeberg7456haha thank you very much! I have also struggled with every shot, it happens to everybody!

[@Junksquatch]

Yes. I struggle with shots all the time. The first few are always tough but after 4 or so they start tasting better

For me, a better phrase than "watch the ball" is to "keep your head still through contact"... When I try to "watch the ball", my center of vision is always changing and it doesn't help. There are players who watch the ball hit the strings like Fed, but if you look at Novak, for example, he doesn't do it in the same way. They all, without exception, keep their head still and don't pull their head up. I do think it's good to have a small delay after contact before you pull your eyes up to see the outcome. Just my experience.

It's really not that complicated. Just don't stare at the ball. HAHAHA.

If it works for you, it works for you! One thing I learned while coaching these last ten years is that there are never too many ways to say the same thing. Sometimes people react better to one advice over another that practically does the same thing. Being able to explain the same thing in many ways is a sign of a great coach to me!

[@sadiemellow]

@@TheSklizo That's true. Sometimes we need to be reminded since it's tough to reroute our technique since we do things out of habit. Thanks coach!

[@b.lakeberg7456]

​@@sadiemellowMaybe not so complicated, but so many players do not do this at all. They jerk thier head to watch the ball flight and pull the shot with them.

[@sadiemellow]

@@b.lakeberg7456 I believe it and I've seen it. I think coaches don't always explain why you need to keep your eye on the ball.

[@Henry-vd1cl]

great vid! what are your thoughts on the radical MP now you've been playing with it for a few months? any added weight? do you feel comfortable with the racket in high level play?

[@TheSklizo]

Thank you! I still really like it, it maybe isn’t as versatile as my old pure strike vs tours, but it’s really good at hitting a very penetrating ball. I feel pretty comfortable on almost all my shots with it, and all I have done is put a leather grip on. I am going to be playing around with some lead this off season.
