Shamir is a great student! He is asking many questions and that benefits both himself and all fans of this channel.

[@coilinnunan4058]

And Nick always has the answer to Shamir's questions, except when it's about the rotation of the earth...

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Coilin 😂😂 yes

[@LaBambaCL]

10:21 "don't overthink that, shamir" :)

[@wujatt36]

Man, all these years I've been following my high school tennis coach's instruction to turn sideways on volleys. Fixing it 20 years later is better than never, I suppose.

[@Javi_C]

Always great to see Shamir improve each video! 😀

[@Daniel-rk3vf]

Great instruction. Shamir is a quick learner and eager to improve. Thanks Nik!

[@Fruitmandje20]

Great video, your explanations are really clear, especially love the way you make the student see what he is doing wrong instead of just telling him what to do.

[@maxleister4868]

Great coach !!! This is high professional meantime very grounded compared with commercialized coaching such as PM in France. All the best !!!!

[@shameelsolanki9226]

Dynamically? Intuitively? Just lunge! Haha! Good work guys

[@MrDavicart]

As usual another greater lesson from you. I look forward to your next one.

[@matthewwoodhead6161]

Another masterclass Nick 🙏🏻

[@DiegoRodriguez-je2ok]

when i do top spin on volleys? from all the tennis channels this is the most practical and the most I value. thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@agustin6541]

Excellent lesson, Nik!! Love this video!

[@bazkeeley9618]

Another great lesson. 🎾👏

[@sanjanakommera7608]

Thanks a lot this helped me so much. You are the best teacher😊😊😊😊. Now I was able to play tennis so much better. Thanks a lot lot, I really needed this video 😁😊☺☺. Even in this covid-19 situation you are teaching, your a really great teacher for me.

[@rucas10]

Another great video! In addition to being a good teacher, I highlight his patience in the way he helps his students to improve, insisting and correcting but on a basis of friendship and understanding. Congratulations on thatn! It is a shame that I live in Portugal, if I lived in the USA my teacher was found ....

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Rui 🇵🇹🙌

[@6alviumair]

I love your lessons Nick! I have been watching you from a little over a month and I see a huge improvement in my volleying and tennis in general. Love from India! I consider myself a very similar player to Shamir and hence these demonstrations help. :P

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Umair 🇮🇳🙌

[@cesarfernandezlopez2209]

Thanks coach nick! I do learn a lot and vastly my volley..,everytime l watch ur video l always apply them, together with my son playing here in the Philippines ...l teach also my son improve his game in net volley and many things coming from you...thank you so much

[@dmitryprivate6558]

Nikola, very good lesson. I will try practicing these technique against a wall (in my basement). Too cold in New England for hitting outside. Thanks.

[@arian0091]

such a great coach

[@gerardovitaliani9318]

Great volley lesson Nik! Thanks I think my natural movements are those. But I’ll review. Shamir helps with his questions and he does more funny the class. Abbott & Costello 😂😂 (no angry please)

He has a great spirit but need to listen more!

[@kuruptgt]

4:28 This made me laugh

[@amangangwar2952]

Wish I had a coach like Nick..would have improved a lot till now. 4 months in, just trying to learn from YT and replicate on the court and the wall. One small request NIck, kindly make a video on 1-handed backhand footwork especially for high and depp balls.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you High backhand 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3m1f4yaisyoiqs

Wow. This was really good.

[@raulcapella620]

Muy bueno

[@yuyifu]

I find I have difficulty trace the ball with my eyes during volley. Esp. when the ball is low, I notice that unconsciously I won't look down at the ball because I don't want to lose sight of the opponent. Could you offer some tips, Nick? Thanks!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I’m going to make another video on the eyes 👀

[@yuyifu]

@@IntuitiveTennis Awesome! Can't wait!

[@HPontara1]

So even if I improved a lot on the volleys, there is 2 volleys that I still need to work, and I dont see it treated here (nothing wrong with that, love the video). First is the high backhand volley. I know its a hard shot, but I would love to know how to improve it. I can make then, but I have a really hard time hitting it hard (even if its a easy one). The second is: Whats the best way to react to body shots. And by body shots I mean one that is really centralized towards my chest. This is when I do this wrong thing of turning. Thank you!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I will cover those shots in more detail down the road

[@HPontara1]

@@IntuitiveTennis ok thanks a lot!

[@manjitkmohan]

I had similar issue on the high backhand volley, and also on the high forehand one as well. My experience has been that once I started hitting those volleys extremely late (almost parallel to the body, sort of last option before the cardinal sin of letting ball past your body) ensuring the contact is at the sweet spot, they began to fall much better and under control. In my experience, if you play high volleys well in front, then the chances of putting them to the net is extremely high (because of restricted forward movement of racquet). Could you try this and let me know if it works for you? I'm just a recreational player and please do not take this as if its from a coach. Definitely coaches would be able to guide you better but I was hoping to validate my experience from someone else. Cheers and enjoy your tennis

[@HPontara1]

Sounds like you have a cold. Take care of yourself! Great lesson. 👏🎾

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Lost my voice that day from talking over leaf blowers earlier that morning 😂 no cold 🙏

[@mattiastennis]

Do you have a list of particular lunge drills especially for low volleys?

[@rod.857]

Who else would like to see a matchup with Shamir?

[@gosto44]

Do the same ideas apply when you run forward to get a drop shot? When you run forward on the forehand should your chest face the net and your chest at a 45 degree angle on the backhand?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Very similar running down a quality drop shot

[@dleewk]

His volleys have gotten a lot better but so has his racket tap ! Hah I was cringing when he taps and hits the frame in other vids 👍

[@K4R3N]

7:20 so important, use your legs to get closer, only reach for true "emergency" situations (which should be more rare, stop being lazy! Not you Shamir)

[@octopath2199]

Hello, can you analyze the forehand of Andre Agassi?, and do you think that this right can be taught today for a child who is training for a professional?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Yes current players on tour play with similar technique

[@ruslanpolutsygan9383]

How to hit like button twice ?

[@donho4109]

👍

[@walterhayley7252]

Great lesson Nik. I'm still pretty new to tennis (less than a year, though over 70 yoa), and virtually all of my shots are flat (meaning they have very little, if any, spin). Do your volleys typically have spin on them, or do you hit most volleys flat? Is one more difficult than the other, and is one preferable?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Depends on the circumstance, I’ll cover that topic down the road

[@muhammdismayil173]

Is there a slice to the volley ?

[@adityahpatel]

Hi @Nick. I play at 4.5 level in Bay Area. How close to the net should you target going?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

It depends

[@adityahpatel]

@@IntuitiveTennis on?

[@ivanandreev63]

Your volley contact point should be in front of you, as much as possible, no matter where the ball is. By "in front" of you I mean, reach out with your hands straight and put them together (you form a triangle) this is the contact "in front" of you. It can be anywhere on the Y (vertical axis). So to hit the ball you should always turn your shoulders toward that contact point. Your hands are separating only a little bit and should be kept within your should width. If you separate your hands before the volley you should be reaching for a very wide ball or for a very high-speed one, where you don't have enough time to turn.

[@saltoncheese3655]

Hi I have been practising like I always have been for the past 4 years and for the past 3 months instead of improving like the usual I have been getting worst and worst till the point where I am struggling to hit a forehand. What might be some reasons to this because this is making me bored of tennis and I now want to quit

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Take a lesson and have a coach take a look

[@mamm171177]

NICE VIDEO

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙏🙏

[@mattiastennis]

Who do you think will win Delray Beach Open? Were you able to watch some matches? Also was good to see Ivo still winning!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

My pick is Isner. Ivo amazing at his age

[@mattiastennis]

@@IntuitiveTennis Isner or Hurkacz, as Garin is a clay-courter and this seems like more a fast surface. Ivo will probably get to the Quarters now after beating someone 7 yrs younger! Good to see him win and I hope he wins a 250 one more time which he nearly did in 2019

[@mattiastennis]

@@IntuitiveTennis Would be nice if someone could get some courtside footage of matches to analyse from Delray Beach as that would be one place for seeing big serves and returns...

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Nice call on Hurkacz Matthias 👍

[@mattiastennis]

@@IntuitiveTennis Where is my betting money? ha :) I knew he would win it as he has a big serve and is very agile. 2 very important things for a quick hard court like Delray. Sebastian Korda is getting very close to a title though and he will be a top player very soon..

[@clarencejosephcavalida6231]

Do you have an actual game of Shamir?

[@tricky1183]

i have been watching your videos from the beginning and this is once again a very good tutorial for all of us trying to play tennis better. Appreciate your effort that you put here with so much quality. But looks like you a have small belly growing up under your shirt, is it because you are getting older or due to drinking beer these times i wonder. ; ) Anyways, thanks again, keep it up bro!
