I ordered strings and racket

[@agustin6541]

Man, this video is close to perfection! The format is excellent. Keep doing these videos! Amateurs like me are really grateful

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thanks for the feedback! Will keep doing videos like this for sure

[@allboutthemojo]

​@@KaruesellHQ Beautiful location. Where is this court?

[@dandalee]

Walter's concept of not letting the ball enter your house is a great way of visualizing this. Thanks for your hard work in making these videos!

[@KaruesellHQ]

You are welcome!

[@stef4492]

Don't let the ball in your house is so brilliant. We can all hear our old coaches in our head saying "don't crowd yourself" or "hit the ball in front of you" or "you are late, prepare earlier"... This one thought point takes care of all of those in a more simple manner. Really smart. Thank you for your thoughtful content!

[@nilartcom]

I started to notice not so long ago these 3 things to improve my forehand. Hitting the ball a bit in front of you, hitting when the ball it's on its highest point and doing the full swing. Instant improvement. So watching this vid now is great to know there is a reason for it 🙂

[@pearlflute1]

I love the image of not letting the ball into your house, especially since I tend to try to hit with the ball too close to me. You're great and so generous.

[@jimdriscoll8787]

This guy has one of the smoothest, most effortless swings I have ever seen. Wow.

[@assassin510]

Anything you post is gold bro. Whether it's new things that we may not know before, things we know already but you give it a little twist and perspective, or things that we already know and you're reinforcing it... they're all very useful. Thank you, keep up the wonderful work!

[@robakooo96]

Hidden GEM of the video. Very helpful. Thanks, Karue!

[@le13daniel]

My favorite tennis channel. So clearly explained. Thank you.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Appreciate the support!

[@leviticusspeaks7732]

I like what you say about focusing on what's in front moreso than what's behind you. Thinking about behind technique to much can cause paralysis by analysis. I'm taking your advice and concentrating on how my stroke is entering/exiting contact zone. Focusing more on things in front like; speed of incoming ball, direction, spin, depth, height, bounce, spacing etc... Thanks coach. 👍😊

[@KaruesellHQ]

I am going to steal paralysis by analysis from you, just FYI lol

[@leviticusspeaks7732]

Np... It's yours...😁

[@colinbyer3018]

I’m watching a coach that’s having his coach explain what his old coach told to him

[@KaruesellHQ]

Inception. You'll remember everything we said 😂

[@tejastennis3290]

True 😂

[@denisebarsness7378]

Great video. We always have things that we learned from our coachs, and why not have them in the videos and explain to your viewers. I love it!

[@haijiaowang5668]

Lmao😂

[@djneight]

Great video as usually. Good to catch Walter on screen. He is a great guy!

[@essouna]

Amazing useful tips and coaching...thank you guys

[@Regina-ei3dq]

Thank you so much!!! The best tennis lessons I have ever seen!!! 😍😍😍

[@honkeyness9427]

This is the kind of stuff I need - the mindset when hitting the ball. I like a video on how hard you feel like you’re swinging, when in the stroke do you feel you are putting in the most energy, how you get your racket to follow through and not stop (things like that).

[@pxnguyen67]

Wow! I watched this video twice. But only now do I understand and absorb the concept. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Glad it could help!

[@fingersm]

Excellent coach and your words on entering and exiting are golden!

[@eamondaly6924]

Thanks for this. I am not a coach but I have used your videos (and Brian Daubuls) to coach my wife, a beginner, into hitting a very good consistent forehand.

[@KaruesellHQ]

That is so awesome to hear. Appreciate it

[@antooliva7032]

hands down you have the best tennis content! really good refresh from the boring outdated 80s style of old coaches around here

[@KaruesellHQ]

Appreciate the feedback and support! More to come

[@mubashirkhan3626]

You've changed my game so much from just watching your videos. Amazing Job!!

[@KaruesellHQ]

thank you!

I love the tongue sticking out in the slo-mo! It really is the true sign of talent.

[@augustblood6810]

I like the calm approach. Really fun and inspiring to follow.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Awesome!

[@photobearcmh]

Solid advice. It always comes back to the ball.

[@rl7880]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Karue, you are on to something. You have a that special something that makes it easy to listen to you, some might say, humility. I love the instructional videos. But I really love the various drills you bring to the table to help make learning tennis fun. Thank you, so much for your efforts. It's really appreciated.

[@KaruesellHQ]

We definitely want to keep it fun!

[@funfoot1]

Excellent. Will take your practice ideas to my next practice with pleasure....Thanks for inviting us into the pro world.

[@andrewfeagins607]

These are the absolute best videos from you guys. Karue your instructional videos are so great. My favorite on youtube for sure. I finally have a BH thanks to you!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you are improving your backhand!!

[@TuanJinnNguyen]

Another crucial tutorial everyone should know. Thanks

[@vicmulyk5775]

Great advice offered here, for certain! My frustration today was that my rally ball all week was peaking and gaining strength. However, in games today, I was hitting balls into the net. My takeaway is to get more game time in during the week too. Maybe I'll start rally ball with serves. Thanks much for your valuable knowledge!

[@jiggs_life_goals]

The ball is a bomb...keep it out your house. Genius!!! Im gonna use it, thank you both! 🙏

[@transamination]

Great point about focussing on what's happening in front. If I stop to think about my take-back, my shot is never as good as when I focus on the ball and where I want it to go. The take-back takes care of itself.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Yep we have to focus on what is happening in front of us

[@walterhayley7252]

Enjoying the format. Thanks for sharing your experience and insights...

[@chubbyspam4073]

Another amazing video Karue! Very informative and it's always great seeing how other coaches coach and perceive things, great insight for other coaches as well!

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

The bit about *"entering" and "exiting"" the contact zone* is so good! Never heard that before, I think it has the potential to REALLY help me make good contact! Liked, subscribed, and commented - the least I could do for all your help - JD, Montreal

[@harshpatel5280]

Very honest said! "I am good because I play hours a day for years" I am big fan of your channel! Good Video like others

[@KaruesellHQ]

Hahah thank you!!

[@theintentionalist]

I'm going to show this video to my students. This is holy grail type of info for achieving consistency. Shout out to Walter for the analogy. I know ya'll were trying to be sensitive to those experiencing harsh realities. Just a classy effort man.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Appreciate the kind words. Happy we could help

[@edmondakong]

this is a great video. not many videos talk about this, but I've always focused on this as well. main difference between our game and golf is exactly this point. ball is not stationary so each shot is different. what we want to do is get into the right position so that we can make it as close as possible to that ideal contact point position so that it is like a stationary ball.

[@sundaramirtanandha7058]

Really good. When covid is in the past you should do workshop in London, i'll sign up. More on single handed backhand and first step for returns... Great!!!!

[@KaruesellHQ]

That would be really fun! We are also establishing an online coaching platform at the moment, will announce it soon

[@sundaramirtanandha7058]

@@KaruesellHQ That will be helpful. It may be a good especially if 1-1 can be done through video etc.

[@konstantinbelinsky7829]

Awesome staff! Great format! Thank you! Gonna keep on watching you!

[@chongli3690]

For any video showing two different angels of stroke, it worth a thumb up. To have a better mindset of making contac in front of body, taking a open stance and anchor more on right foot is a good tip, because u are almost parellel to the baseline.

[@KaruesellHQ]

Hahab appreciate it

[@sSonnyKay]

I wish you all the best with the channel. You and Intuitive Tennis really share so much good information for free it is incredible! You improved me a lot:) Thank you, stay healthy and good luck at the AO! All best!

Great video. Really clear footage and explanations. Thank you!

[@RK-ft9rn]

Hey Karue...for me, this vid combined with your recent 90%/10% rule has really helped me to play my best tennis on my tennis journey...thank you!!...Walter's advice of protecting your house, the ball will dictate your shot and problem solving and learning thru entry and exit is a simple concept I can always take to the courts...I bought more apparel from TW this week with your link to support MTHQ...keep up great work...thanks again.

[@cracacola]

Thank you !!! Your videos are great and helpful to me.

[@MPTennis]

This is amazing and perfect for us. Thank you for sharing and yes more!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sashoneshevski7098]

Great video and the format is nice! One suggestion: it’s useful to think about entering and exiting the “strike zone”. When talking about the point of contact, people usually have the idea of a point in space. Actually, what contributes to a clean contact is the smooth movement of the racket through the entire strike zone and what is key is the acceleration of the racket head from the start through the end of the strike zone. Thanks for idea of addressing the topic of clean contact with the ball; producing quality strokes is actually the essence of the game of tennis, in my opinion. Keep up the good work!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Appreciate the support! Definitely strike zone is what I should have said hahah 💪🏻

[@Fernwald84]

Good, solid points, Karue. I think that the most important thing you said was towards the end of the video: learn how to distinguish what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong. Obviously, you can't always have a coach on the court with you so you need to develop the ability to self-diagnose and self-correct.

[@andrewmiller6807]

Thanks Karue. You are awesome, dude! Your videos are a perfect compliment to my tennis training. No bombs in this house! :)

[@deeps10]

I'm really enjoying this new style of tennis channel format and content. I see a lot of open stance forehands here, when we have time to setup, when do we decide between closed or open stance forehand?

[@craigmclauchlan9155]

I like the house analogy - great for kids learning the game. I also like a “box” analogy. Pretend there is a box in front of you to help visualise your contact zone. How does racquet enter the box and exit the box. Walter is great too!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Sometimes all we need is a simple analogy hahah

Simple guide, simple approach, hard to get. Just focus “in front” and adapt synchro. Very important to recognize the incoming ball, right? Can you bring me some exercises so that my brain can better recognize incoming balls to my backhand? I think that's my problem. Thanks Karüe! 💪🎾

Thank you for driving home the fundamentals and not focusing on click bait “secret techniques” that will add 10mph to your strokes in 5 minutes! Should change your guys name to tennis IQ.

Karue, great video and content! The beauty of it is the simplicity. Can any recreational player ever get a stroke like that? I get its all something we would aspire to but to actually perfect a swing like that?....Im certainly trying and will continue to work hard. Thank you again!

[@KaruesellHQ]

Thank you. No, recreational players can definitely do it. It's a matter of keeping the swing simple. Focusing on full body motion and rotation. And my swing isn't perfect, nobody's is. Strive to find the easiest way for you to hit the ball with quality, whatever your body tells you to do, listen to it
