Whenever I hit a forehand slice I hear Nik’s voice - “OH NO, THE SLICE” 😊

[@willflo11]

Amazing detailed and targeted lesson to fix such a specific common problem!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

@@willflo11 thank you

[@maestro_91_]

Nice to see Karla back on the channel!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

She is playing a lot after taking some time off 🙌🙌

This video changed my life Nick. I use the footwork patterns all the time now and look much more balanced. I taught my 11 year old son this and it has been helping him get to balls he previously struggled to hit. Hopefully you can post the high two handed back video since I’m waiting for that one

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Glad to hear it. High two-handed backhand coming soon…

[@younggwillis]

This videos amazing at describing and showing each transition

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙌

Thanks for the great advice in this video. Many years ago when I played competitively I found that good players would figure out that they could hit me high-bouncing backhands over and over. I couldn't get power on my returns, and if they kept hitting them to me I would eventually give them a short ball they could attack. So, as you might expect, I'd love to see a "high backhand on the run" - and also better understand how to get more power on those shots.

She's super good and you made her better. Quick learner and great coach. 👍

[@IntuitiveTennis]

We are righty

[@JimEdmiston]

@@IntuitiveTennis so your shirt is backwards Roger?

[@JimEdmiston]

And not sure why I didn’t remember that you’re a righty I think your shirt just threw me off big time Original comment edited to remove misinformation

[@whodefan]

Great video. The main underlying principle behind any footwork is to maximize your momentum into your tennis swing and ultimately your racquet which makes contact with the ball. The smell test on whether you're doing it right is if you can feel that momentum going into the shot or not. If not, something in the footwork is out of sync.

Thanks for the lesson Nik! One observation from the side view (when she had to hit a BH first)….Karla seemed late in switching to a FH grip. Was more obvious in first round, she was “stuck” in continental grip too long and forced to slice. But she definitely improved after the progressions!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

She did commit too early on those FH slices

[@cyberjonesy]

That was a very nice shot at 8:00 ! 👍Keep it up 👍

[@the-potato-dealer]

Great content

Thank you

“Oh La-La”…someone’s been watching a lot of M. Haha

[@justinkings738]

I would love to see Shamir vs Karla in a match! I think these 2 would be evenly matched. Can we make this happen?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Would be interesting

[@randominternetuser2]

Karla is a smooth mover! great athleticism!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🔥 she used to do triathlons

[@randominternetuser2]

@@IntuitiveTennis haha me too!

[@Cleveland_Rocks]

I used to do uni-thons

[@tonydaysog9164]

Nice backhand 1:48

[@andrewkyau]

Hi Nick, could you make another video like this but for the backhand side? That would be very helpful.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Will do

[@deepseadiver8191]

Great video! Interestingly, your man Rafa very often hits this shot off his inside (right) leg!

[@user-jb2vo6qi4h]

Nik great video. Do you teach forehand and backhand footwork separately? Obviously more complicated locked in with both hands with a 2HBH or even a 1HBH, as opposed to the student’s FH

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Less complex especially on 1-H bh

[@user-jb2vo6qi4h]

I need proof. lol. Karla was instinctively hitting off right foot and landing on right foot at the baseline at the start of the video.

[@raytrace2014]

I find the running forehand more difficult than the running 2hbh.

[@hansolsson3409]

Nice lesson Nick and Carla 👍👍👍

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Hans

[@pencilcheck]

I actually feel that the front leg first is useful as you can hit good angle cc while running whereas the back leg methods is very hard to do.

[@filippovecchiarelli1144]

Karla is good

[@lcervantes8505]

When hitting this shot off the right foot wide I try to be conscious of pointing the toe of that foot out so as not to roll the ankle.

[@mariasubtirel1115]

Thank you Nick for featuring a female player to which I can relate to :-) Emma is much too strong for me to try to emulate and the other one is only using very nice outfits (well, some male audience might enjoy that)

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Will do more lessons for YT with Karla for sure

[@knotwilg3596]

Some male audience shares your preference though.

[@dgib1694]

Karla is so good, she learn so fast, I think it is a set up. Karla is an expert and she pretend to learn what she already master! (just joking)

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Nothing is ever set up Real students real sessions Karla is back after taking some time off from tennis 🔥🔥

[@tennisKarla]

bahaha I wish this was a great lesson :) I really learned a lot
