Serve Power Lesson with Shamir 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jniyepyfe5xlq68

[@jyrkytv1112]

How can we follow shamir?

[@cesarsanz8453]

Hey Nick, we would love to see more gameplay videos and/or play coaching points, I think we learn a lot that way. Love your channel, thank you.

[@xart23x]

Missed Shamir. Reason Was kiddo. Sweetest moment ever when he initiated hug. Best tennis channel ever.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you. The hug was a great moment 🥺

[@K4R3N]

If you hug your coach/boss, this is ultimate respect!

[@emmanuelbuenviaje6564]

Learned a lot from Nicos commentary. A treasure trove for the 3.0 - 4.5 players...and that's the majority one sees at the local public courts. And such a nice student in Shamir..he has an enquiring mind about the game.

[@guyprovost]

I really love that Shamir guy. Funny, honest, transparent and talented! He has the attitude that one needs to get better.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

💯

[@Joseph-co7uh]

Shamir is such a delightful guy. We would love to see more videos with him!

[@Terminator-do9os]

I agree

[@fryliver4953]

How is he failing so much

[@Joseph-co7uh]

​@@fryliver4953 it seems like he is recovering from an injury. Best of luck to him!

[@robdavies4294]

The two greats both have foot issues Rafa and Shamir - good luck to both. Point play are my fav type of video. I do all of Shamir’s errors so can learn a lot. Great job both.

[@milanvincic9668]

Absolutely love this video. Over 20 minutes but it felt like less than 10 minutes. Great to have Shamir and Nikola together. All the best guys👍. It was so emotional we they hugged🥲. What a display of comradery and closeness. One of the best videos in the whole series. Hvala Nikola😉

[@frankpeisker5918]

"Eyes popping out of your head like Djokovic" 😄. Love Nicks videos, especially those with Shamir. Great lessons and fun too.

[@haricsl]

Already looking forward to shamirs 101 questions 😂 Such a delightful well mannered young fella, with extremely similar game to mine

[@aaronrussell5047]

This was a great video for me. I started playing in leagues and practicing a lot last summer after playing very rarely over 25 years. I keep thinking I need to be able to hit aggressively every time in order to jump from 3.5 to 4.0. After seeing this, I understand I should be playing way more maintenance balls and being patient. My consistency is not good enough to play super agressive. I need to play with the skills I have now and not the style I wish I had.

[@RafaelRoschel]

Shamir is the definition of charisma. Glad to see he recovered from the foot injury and is putting in the effort to climb back to the level he was before.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

He’s very charismatic 🙌🙌

[@firesphynx]

Love these videos with Shamir! There’s so many good lessons in a video like this . I’m over here taking notes 📝

[@pencilcheck]

Our favorite Shamir is back!!!

[@malatestov]

Great lesson, full of valuable advice for all of us. And great to have Shamir back! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dariusd2003]

Enjoyed this series. Glad to see Shamir back.

[@slach01]

What a great video series! I can't even imagine where my game would be if I could train with someone like Nick routinely. I did take one lesson with him a few months ago, and it was literally the best hour of instruction I have ever received. But for those of us not living in Florida, these videos provide a wealth of information.

[@henrylove514]

This format (point play + analysis) is great! There are many youtube videos on the technicals but not much on shot selections.

[@yelenashpakovskiy7187]

I always look forward to your videos! So fun to watch, and I learn new tips for myself.🙌

[@catherineharper3330]

Great advice, and big thank you to Shamir for being willing to share his tennis journey with all of us!

[@ogwally739]

Favorite video. The on court application of these principles is so fun to watch.

[@roddickfan90]

Great to see Shamir back in action! 🎾 Congrats on the baby and fingers crossed the foot stays healthy. 🤞🏻👶🏼

[@janimolin8767]

Wow, what great content, analysis & good feeling + love of the game - keep being awesome both of you!

[@Unknown-pt7xe]

Your episodes with Shamir are brilliant

[@konstantinbelinsky7829]

Great video which covers lots of typical situations and mistakes on our recreational level! Thanks!!

[@colewest8168]

Thanks for the video! It is great to finally find tennis content on KZbin

[@giacomomineo1358]

Very nice lesson to share. Thanks both!

[@gridoggs7012]

Let's claw back together, nice work! Thank you for the great vids and the all in all awesome show. I would love to see more of Shamir's journey :) !

[@K4R3N]

SHAMIR! He's BACK 🏆

[@travisbarber350]

Love the Shamir videos! So good!

[@chemanika8264]

Great Video as always Nick! Glad to see Shamir is back 😁

[@Jeffreybch]

My favourite Tennis channel!!, keep up the good work, love the videos when you play against someone. Greetings from Costa Rica!

[@kumarsabaratnam4787]

I like it cause it was a friendly & encouraging session with a player who wants to get his form back. Great Nick.

[@tochiethelbop6449]

Thank you for the lessons.

[@Mickey_McD]

Such great coaching!

[@colin6612]

4:22 was worth watching this video alone! Great info. I found myself slicing high balls too much, had to readjust for that. Nice video!!

[@K4R3N]

Nik, you are the perfect coach for me. Love your style. Wish I was in FL!

[@wookiedude21]

Love these!

[@marcwente8943]

awesome video! great to have you back Shamir! really great content and such a fun video :) unintentional winners are definitely my best shots too hahaha! ok but all jokes aside, love seeing these 2 geek out on tennis, Nick's tough love but both having so much fun in the process. You'll be back at 4.5 in no time Shamir! Lets GO!

[@mischaminnee]

Shamir is my spirit animal. I feel all your pain brother! But keep on keeping on!

[@khalidlaaroussi8129]

Danke für das tolle Video. Es sind viele Fehler dabei, die ich auch in den Medenspiele mache. Super Tipps! Schon notiert 🙂

[@rodrigoallegrettiartioli4583]

Great video. That’s the type of content I enjoy the most.

[@slumartins]

You guys are great together!

[@Doty6String]

This video was very helpful for me!

[@schnickschnack8502]

Vielen Dank für die tollen Videos. Ich freue mich jedes Mal über Deine Beiträge. Deutsche Grüsse aus de Schweiz 😊

[@michaelobell7032]

Welcome back! As usual great tennis and positive feedback.

[@qx5850]

great to see Shamir back!

[@fabiankappe8806]

super helpful content. I am making all those typical recreationel level mistakes myself

[@michaelglover9187]

Awesome video. Shamir vids are great.

[@kirankumarsinganamala8834]

Hi Nick, I love your way of teaching tennis. I regularly watch your tennis videos and got inspired to innovate at play.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙌🙏

[@Hedgehog1039]

I love these kinds of videos... I honestly wish I could come and get some coaching off of you just so you could put it up for other people to watch and learn!

[@jatuttable]

Thumbs up for mentioning Stan the man!

[@julsjewel2933]

So much valuable tactical advice in here! Also, judging by the comment section and the Shamir fanbase (me included), you should sell merch, print some Shamir t-shirts, mugs and whatnots :-)

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Haha 😂. I would wear a shamir shirt 🙌

[@lolvonlolipopp]

Congrats Shamir!

[@itfaster]

Welcome back Shamir, can't wait for you to get back to 4.5/5.

[@ssenssel]

Shamir is back! 🤘

[@slingshot8219]

I’ve learned a lot. It’s fun to watch too.

[@pvr705]

Shamir is a delight to watch , he's the Ben Stiller of tennis .

[@charliefoster6710]

Really enjoying your tips on the high backhand for a one hander. I too find myself slicing too much and my topspin backhand suffers . I will practice more topspin returns using my Slinger.

[@naboulsikhalid7763]

so funny from Shamir, very instructive

[@goodgrandpa]

Your compliments feel so rewarding to receive!

[@kakaak0]

such great tips! probably the immediate one for me is the slice on the high ball... i tend to do that when im not confident in my 2hander play

[@renanmoraes2485]

What a great video

[@henriquelupica5351]

Thats amazing! Great relationship

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙌

[@ncournault]

The "oh la la!" Mouratoglou special cracked me up.

[@rdchen492]

Nikola, you're on a roll, three great videos in a row. Nobody does it the way you do it. Keep it up.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you. I’m going to try 🙏

[@tochiethelbop6449]

Thanks!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you 🙏 🙏

[@FUsheK]

Congratulations shammer

[@rds4629]

it's very helpful getting this kind of point breakdown and seeing the same kind of mental mistakes I make. Unfortunately on midcourt balls, I feel less confident going for winners compared to when I'm further back on the baseline b/c there's a shorter court.

[@hrasenspocht3530]

Nick is one hell of a great tennis coach. Move to freakg Vienna, man. Shamir is making such incredible progress, well done guys.

[@xiaoweichang1228]

welcome back, Shamir!

[@MrFeast603]

Happy to see shameer back. I hope he is fully recovered

[@fryliver4953]

He had a baby?

[@dennisthegreek5336]

I think you should advise him to keep a wider base when hitting high FH from mid court and with an open stance.

[@michael.a.m]

Coach is dressed like Winnie the Pooh today and I'm here for it

[@vjayvenkat]

Wow so many things have to be learnt to play tennis. Journey is long

[@tan.nicolas]

we are all shamir

[@dejpsyd0421]

What city in FL do you live Nick? I want to move out there so i can take lessons. Your courts look so nice 👍

[@knotwilg3596]

I love it how Nick's casual serve is still well above 4.5 level and his one handed backhand is super consistent too. "So you played it high to the forehand against a 6.5 guy?" :D

[@johnddwyer]

I'm 4.0 and this is a great video for me.

[@40rods]

I often see the KZbin short you posted, Nik, where you're correcting Shamir's low, short ball technique - such a nasty comment section on that one, calling you "aggressive" and that you speak to Shamir "like a child." To see Shamir hug you unprompted at 21:25 is the ultimate proof of how wrong those people are. Proud to see this.

[@K4R3N]

Some people, like me, appreciate tough coaches. For some reason it is more effective than a soft coach always giving some compliments.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I don’t recall that one, but sometimes it can be taken out of context.

[@40rods]

@@IntuitiveTennis It's your 5th most popular vid on your youtube shorts channel - I agree, people looking at a 30 sec clip are very prone to doing that.

[@alejandrohualdez5550]

Wish my coach pushed me this hard.

[@whyg400man6]

How close should you be to the net to hit a winner against moon-balls?

[@thiagobadin5331]

We just love shamir

[@ollie6286]

Aiming down the middle and being late, then hitting down the line is the story of my life

[@nikomatsis7238]

You should hit your big big serves against shamir it would be funny to see his reaction and see how he adjusts

[@nick_czem_nick656]

Eyes popping out?

[@sassanxersi1027]

Shamir most of the time puts the ball out wide or into the net. He really needs punishment. Maybe the system I created for myself long ago works for him, it worked like this: if I hit even one ball out wide or into the net I will be a chihuahua till the next session. If I do not miss a single ball during this session then I am a bold and smart German Shepherd. He can of course choose what creatures look more rewarding or punishing to him. The important thing is that he has reached the level that must be ashamed of missing too many easy balls.

[@JaFz77]

Anyone will enjoy tennis with such coach, even people who hated this game before.

[@parkynilgaming2748]

What level and playing experience was Shamir before?

[@lamebudseeneye2440]

Are your slice and one-handed backhand the same grip?

[@emmanuelbuenviaje6564]

Use the continental grip for BH slice

[@pro71]

Those floating high balls in the middle of the court haha... I have trouble with them too!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

They are important 🙌

[@K4R3N]

Just top spin them sharp angle and then close at net. Be ready for the volley or overhead.

[@Javi_C]

👍

[@keremkilicay9995]

Nick come to UK man. I'd love to play you 😂

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I’ve never been

[@melfox215]

At 5:10 you were saying he just has missed the return by a centimetre. I just wonder he didn't ask what a centimetre is. 🙃 Coming from Germany I think missing by a centimetre is better than by an inch. On the other hand, missed is missed. 😅

[@monger6726]

Americans do understand what a centimeter is, so that is why I think he said nothing.

[@edison8309]

Just hit the 500th like.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you 🙏

[@minotaur235]

Welcome back Shamir! Looks like he might need to be reintroduced to the rubber snake =P

[@IntuitiveTennis]

NO 😂😂🙌🙌

[@Paltibenlaish]

shamirrrrr

[@idontknow1919]

How can I play with Shamir? I live in boca raton and I'm about 4.0 to 4.5

[@ahmadjamal484]

What happened to Shamir’s foot? I have a foot injury and some days struggle to play. Some say it is plantar fasciitis but I am not sure if the diagnosis is accurate.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

He has a very complicated issue. Similar to Rafa but worse

[@jerrychen2302]

@@IntuitiveTennis oh no, is it an accessory navicular? I got the same issue
