The quote of the day: "stop hitting and hoping."

[@Playyourcourt]

Carlton Lockard we’re putting it on a T-shirt 😉💯

[@omarsultanov362]

Great superhelpful advice "no hitting and hoping". 👍😊

[@Playyourcourt]

Omar Sultanov thank you sir, glad you enjoyed the instruction!

[@tongertom]

Very helpful. Too easy to get caught up in MY half of the game -- hitting a good approach shot, admiring it, then watching the lob go up. Anticipation is the key word, especially as you face better players.

[@Playyourcourt]

+tongertom right on the money, watching the visual queues of your opponent will definitely help you anticipate their next shot and help you better prepare you for the incoming ball. Thanks for watching!

[@joeblack4041]

great stuff! You guys are so far offering the best video for the specific targeted audience based on the tennis ratings. Would also like to have a video on how to lob deep during the game. thx!

[@Playyourcourt]

+Joe Black Thank ya sir, we appreciate the kind words. We have a "how to lob" video out now but we do have instruction on how and when to use the lob in our new tactics and strategy course that ill be out very soon!

[@gerasimpetrov5805]

Great videos guys! Subscribed and liked. Literally binge watching your videos :D , they are just so helpful and informative. Keep up the good work!

[@Playyourcourt]

Thank you Gerasim Petrov!! We love the feedback and appreciate you watching. 🙌🏼

[@marcelovoto3536]

I'm enjoying your lessons. I like your uncomplicated look at each of your lessons. I introduce the game to beginners and improvers. I love the idea of helping them to learn with tennis lessons on the internet. Your lessons are helpful. I can't know everything so I always encourage the student to search out sites like these, to reinforce what I say and demonstrate and learn new ideas. My dream is to set up a club that internet-based that swaps information about tennis learning. The members would support each other throughout the learning process. I wonder too if you ever considered not using words to describe the player's ability but allowing us, coach and student to video the learners game/stroke and send this to an online coach for analysis and then directing them to the lessons most suitable for their game. It seems to me your lessons structures go a long way to allowing that to happen. The coach and player can practise the lessons recommended. I am not the best player so the demonstration can be an issue, using the above ideas may solve the problem . I think it would improve customer satisfaction.

[@Playyourcourt]

Peter Kavanagh We love everything your saying my man. Working together with coaches (boots on the ground) to help improve their students is a really important goal of ours. Our platform is actually a ecosystem dedicated to this idea. On our website you will find not only instruction but 1000+ PYC coaches across the country that are available to instruct the material in person. Beyond the on-line instruction & Lessons we have a match finder tool where students can make friends to practice or play competitively. We’re always happy to work with coaches and will have a tool were players can upload videos of themselves for analysis by Scott and I very soon. Check out the website if you haven’t already were you’ll find all of these great options. bit.ly/youtubePYC Thanks for watching and the support!

[@twinwankel]

This is an excellent discussion but I do not shift my weight to give away my top spin lob. It's all arm for me and it's very hard to read. Also, sometimes I move up to hit a topspin lob if the ball is lower and not in my strike zone. So I would not follow your predictions but it's good to get players to think in matches.

[@Playyourcourt]

Glad you enjoyed the discussion. 👍🏼

[@dhivyas18]

Great video! Thanks for sharing the nuances about looking for visual cues. I wanted to ask for your advice on how to not get beat by a lob that my opponent uses as a strategy after playing a drop and pulling me in to the net. This is different from the scenario you mentioned in the video. I get a drop, I scramble to get to it and return it only to get lobbed again and again. So what should I do to return that drop effectively so I don’t get lobbed or what should I do to better prepare to get to that lob and play it well to stay in the point? Thanks in advance for your time and advice

[@Playyourcourt]

Thanks, glad you en joyed the video. Dropshot your opponent back or hit a low slice. Both tough to lob!

[@zandemen]

I've watched a few of your videos over the last few days, and in every one you use your rating method, then decipher that to NTRP ratings, so you use both. Why not just use NTRP ranking system instead of both? Or whatever yours is.

[@Playyourcourt]

Most people are familiar with the NTRP rating system so it’s a simple way to clarify things for them. As more people become familiar with the PYC rating system we will simply use that instead. Thanks for the feedback Macks Power!

[@zandemen]

@@Playyourcourt Do you have a link to an explanation of the PYC rating system?

[@Playyourcourt]

It basically follows the UTR formula with a larger range to identify playing levels. Dave Howell and Daryl Cummings were coaches of mine and they are actually the creators of UTR so we followed that model since we believe it is the preferred instrument to asses a players ability. Check out the PYC website for more info! 😀 -Nate

[@MrNici14]

I am at the point where I realize when my opponent does the lob, but I still lose the point because I mess up my smash :(

[@Playyourcourt]
