[@bennettcrow9298]

This video transformed my tennis. I hit about 15 minutes a day, every day, wherever I am; parking garages, behind shopping centers, abandoned warehouses, wherever. The wall punishes power and rewards grace smoothness and consistency. Something I’ve always had trouble with. I put two pieces of tape for the net. One at 36” (for the cross court shots) and one at 42” for down the line.

Here in Brasil, i used to play in a public court, and when i was begining to play, no one wanted to play with me, so i trained for about 4h in the wall every day for a few weeks! When i started to play on court i was already beating a great portion of the players! They were pissed hahahaha!

[@testtester8492]

[@dannyslammy4379]

me too .. i'd watch 10 minutes of daytime Australian tennis - back when the aussie open was grass and then just moved to the hard court - and then go out and try to copy what I'd seen on tv

[@Yiyan81]

I also used to hit against a wall, maybe quite a unique one. It was inside my grandpas barn on his farm which had an inbuilt trough along the wall which happened to be roughly the height of a tennis net. Would spend hours practicing strokes and imitating Sampras, Goran and Becker’s serves 💕

[@jjodon007]

I’ve just taken up tennis and started using the wall for 20 mins a day and my game has already improved x10! I’ll start to incorporate these drills into my practice now and have some more structure...although I think I’ll hold off on the overhead practice for a while until I’m a grade or two higher 😁

haha yes. like your name "intuitive tennis" I am also teaching tennis and want people to understand this game which took me like 30 years now to comprehend and I am still learning. There is lots of misunderstandings and wrong teaching in traditional tennis practise. Hope we can get to a better understanding of the game in the future.

[@TheBtrivedi]

I really enjoyed the video and for the first time I feel, indeed Wall is going to be great Tennis partner. What I don't understand is the last drill on Overhead smashes hitting the ball under the line on the ground first. Practicing such likely to make players lose points in matches. So, what's the rationale behind the last drill? Kindly clarify.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

@@TheBtrivedi, overheads are hit with close proximity to the net. Therefore the wall overhead drill accurately mimics the trajectory of the overhead.

[@Dapiramdstv]

Honestly, I can say the wall has the biggest part of my tennis improvement.This is where i spent more time of my tennis practice.In fact all of my stokes was develop on the wall. There is a big wall of a ware house about 4km from my house. For 3 years from 2011, I ride my bicycle 3 to 4 times a week to reach the location of that wall and i spent 2 hours every session.You name it, topspin groundstokes, slice groundstrokes, volley, Serve, forehand overheads, backhand overheads, drive volleys, lobs, tweener.The wall does'nt get tired, doesnt complain, and it is absolutely free. If not every pro, i think 99% of the atp pro hit against the wall a lot of times especially on their younger years, thats for sure.. I am a self taugt player and i started tennis late at 33 years old.I only watch online instructions and apply it on the wall.Sometimes i bring a video camera to record my stokes.Now im already a strong 4.0 all court player mainly because of that wall and im proud of it.

Yes, i was curious too. He did point out, it depends on how you set up the ball. Still, he has good anticipation & fw. Great lesson.

[@jonaspalacio5322]

Terrific video

[@cambium0]

Yes I am a big fan of the wall too. All those benefits he mentions are real and you can really improve doing these drills. Caveat though: the wall does not hit with a lot of pace or spin like your better opponents do, and it's hard to practice high balls (I suppose you could do it but hard to keep the ball in court). Also you cannot practice hitting for position on the court, or hitting on the court at all for that matter. You'll get really good at mid pace balls below the waist, but really in a match you don't get a lot of those. You really can improve volleys, overheads, stamina and reaction time and basic stroke mechanics. And the wall is there for you whenever you are ready.

[@martinroach608]

I just tried volleying on the wall for the first time last weekend. Wow. It really exposes and works on a weakness. Great video. I'll definitely try some of these drills to work on my game!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Martin, the absolute best for volley practice. 👍👍

[@txyakfishing]

Another volley drill I started doing recently is getting on one side of it and walking down the wall while hitting either forward or backhand volleys. I do the same thing as well when alternating between the two. Helps me with both focus and coordination as I am hitting volleys while moving. Also is good at developing racket control / ball control as you have to place the ball really well to do this successfully.

[@inamburney]

Have been doing this but really envy the flow here.

I mean, I was really amazed at how little feel I had for any of the strokes... My forehand was absolutely horrible.. My slice backhand was the only shot I could direct to corners and keep inside the court. My serve was fairly decent... but it took quite a lot of focus mentally to not hit it on the net or long. I MUST go train on a tennis wall. Mind you that a used to play with a level 4 tennis instructor for years... This is why I was so disturbed by my poor performance. I love tennis..

[@Fernwald84]

Thanks for the great tips, Nick. I always use the wall before playing a match as I find it far superior to a mini tennis warm up. Your tips are more rigorous than what I've been typically doing, so I'm going to up my intensity and work for better improvement. One great drill you didn't mention is practicing drop shots. Since you can hit many such shots, both forehand and backhand, you get a LOT of practice in a short time and it's easy to gauge how effective your drop shots on the wall are by seeing how high over the net line they hit as well as how fast they're hitting the wall.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

George, dropshots work on the wall no doubt, however I like to keep the intensity up and the ball in play.

[@Fernwald84]

I guess I wasn't clear on how I practice the drop shot, Nick. As I'm close to the wall I drop shot the drop shot continuously. This isn't as intense, obviously, as doing groundstrokes or overheads but it demands at least as much concentration, perhaps more, and it is a great way to recover from an intense series without completely relaxing.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

George, oh I see. Yeah that’s a good one. Nice way to develop some feel on the dropper. 👍👍👌👌
