Tennis Balance - Priority #1 In Stroke Correction (Part 1)

[@jfitness432]

You’re channel is far and away the best source on KZbin for tennis instruction I’ve personally gone from a 3.0 to a 4.0 from implementing the strategies and techniques you so perfectly illustrate. Thanks again and keep up the tremendous work you do.

[@jhugoluz]

12:14: "if you are stable you will feel calm, ... better control of the ball" ... This makes a lot of sense for me. Thank you Thomas.

[@galaxygalaxy4429]

This guy is really the best teacher:)

[@RandomAsia5555]

Best coach on youtube! Thanks for all the information

[@AlexanderGr8]

👍👍👍

[@iamshadowbanned699]

There are a lot of great tennis coaches on KZbin, but you are a cut above the rest. I always see the problems with my strokes immediately with your videos. God bless.

[@ltjpunk27]

Tomaz, your lessons not only transcend tennis, but transcend sports in general. Not only my tennis coach, but my life coach. Great video. If your goal is to rest, the results will show it.

[@feeltennis]

I appreciate that!

[@bassmann666]

Excellent Tomaz, i am 41, foot work and balance is the key for a good tenis 🎾

[@drharveyfrank]

I've been a chiropractor for many years and my life's work has been improving the quality of creating better performance to impaired joints. I totally agree and endorse the comments made regarding the significance of body balance and I look forward to learning more from this instructor.

[@fromoz3154]

Thanks Tomaz, this is one of the essential foundations, sometimes overlooked. Djokovic is reported as saying he strives to keep his weight between his legs at all times, maintaining the posture you demonstrate so well.

[@yimingzhh]

From Oz I remember Djokovic refers it as the triangle.

[@prashantgupta7167]

Another great video. I suffer from the below weaknesses and did not even realize before seeing this. 1. Being lazy and trying to just reach the ball. 2. Trying to play too upright. 3. Loosing the athletic position while moving backward. Thanks Tomaz.

[@jianhuiluo]

This is best source to learn Tennis. Thank you so much! I have improved so much from learning from you.

[@rahulsharma-cs7oy]

Yo that’s so true. The whole of yesterday I kept making errors thinking about correcting the racket drop and swing but my balance was off.

[@Ardakapalasan]

A master of clarity and logic

[@leandromedrano]

I think this video is my favorite of those you've published, I found several answer. Now I understand why my teacher wants me to get more core and legs strength, why he insists on mobility and wide legs when hitting... thinking of being well balanced before hitting, closes the loop of all the elements. I really appreciate your time creating these videos, cheers from Panama.

[@twinwankel]

Thanks for video. Your exposition is always clear and precise. You are right, when I was a beginner, I struggled with footwork and balance but as my ground strokes, fitness and footwork improved, my balance improved. They all go hand in hand. There are no shortcuts to becoming an advanced player. Hard work is the only way.

[@susanj.6976]

great tip as to why people hit high balls into the net ... standing straight up rather than still loading the legs and bending the knees so that we don't go backwards... I had been wondering about this for a long time why on occasion I hit high balls into the net and feel myself going backwards. Great tips! Thank you : )

[@williamforward7524]

This is an exceptional video about an aspect of tennis rarely mentioned. Thank you, Tomaz!

[@VikasBhat060578]

By far the best coach out there i have known !!!!

[@Gerry.D]

Amazing! Thanks for your time in making these videos! You’re helping lots of people!

[@miguelbarahona6636]

To play good tennis you must have balance, so you need anticipation, footwork, technique, and be fit. People think Federer runs less than Nadal, and that is not true. Great video Tomaz.

[@ronniemcinerney3273]

Miguel Barahona fed does run less then Rafa. He plays much more efficiently. Not saying Rafa doesn’t have good balance but fed uses less energy.

[@miguelbarahona6636]

@@ronniemcinerney3273 AO 2017 final. Both players ran almost exactly the same distance.

[@camlendrim7609]

Tracking movement technology may reveal RF and Nadal move the same amount. However, but Fed typically appears to move less because the smoothness and effortlessness of his movement. It’s kind of an optical illusion. 🎾

[@aydnatakan2358]

great advices. you solved many of my problems when trying to teach my nine year old son tennis. I obviously think that many of your advices are not only about tennis but can also be translated into our daily life spesifically in education of kids, teenangers and even adults. Thank you for this great contribution to us.

[@pacerdave7838]

Great. I’ll try to be more aware of my balance and effort to stabilize. A recap of the points you made at the end of the video would be immensely helpful.

[@zhuerxie]

I have reviewed this instruction video 3 times so far, it makes perfect sense. Thank you for your outstanding teaching.

[@ermanevcil]

I hink there are really good points and observations of a long-lasted experience. Thank you Tomaz.

[@drpaul4296]

Your videos are so generous, full of wisdom and knowledge. I can't express how much they have helped my tennis. Thank you so much Tomaz.

[@feeltennis]

Wonderful to hear, thank you very much for your kind feedback!

[@Maxroj123]

Thank you very much for the video. I will try your tips tomorrow in training. PS: Your Kobe example just shows, that he was seen as the best athlete. Keep it up!

[@rdbeas]

Just started watching your channel and I really appreciate your instructing style - very easy to understand and perfect for me being a 3.0 trying to get to 4.0 one day. Thanks for your help.

[@feeltennis]

Awesome, thank you!

[@hahope]

Thank you so much for reminding me of these important tips.

[@디지데이브]

Hello Tomaz! First, I really appreciate your great support. I absolutely agree with you it is the most important thing to do when everyone playing tennis. I currently doing some fitness such as circuit training, core practice and even pilates and take more time for those of things rather than rally in court. Because it takes me easy to control the ball based on our body balance.

[@luckychan5456]

This is my first comment after watching 20-30 of your video. I felt that your teaching technique is make senses, simple and natural way and work good for me. But I click all like every video though. 😅 . Try to practice and follow everything you teach they are great. I played much better bc of you 😍🙏🏻 thank you 🌸❤️

[@RameshR-ui9yt]

This is so good and exactly what I needed to hear & learn. Thank you so much for making these videos.

[@feeltennis]

You are so welcome!

[@youguess8979]

very very helpful for learning the tennis in proper convenient natural way .Great . I am thankful. great

[@Be_Real_2]

Always seem to say exactly what I need to hear. You’re like the tennis professor! Thank you!

[@feeltennis]

Glad to hear it!

[@Widmer09]

This is so true. I've been playing for years and just realized that I jump/jerk too much when I hit the ball (too excited) in the match - self taken videos revealed it. When in practice, I am more calm and hit the ball way better. I'm much more consistent in the matches now by just telling myself to slow down/relax, stay on the ground and hit the ball clean with a full swing at the speed that I can control the ball. This does help bring my shots from my practice to the real matches.

[@Peccomment]

Like many others has said, like genious.... all the vids are about my (and many othhers) problems wonderfully explained. Millions thanks!

Indeed balance is a must have. Just impossible to play without balance.

Well explained and demonstrated!

[@TopSpinWilly]

Lot of commercials. Worth it for great advice. Thanks from Vancouver

[@Me36999]

Thank you for making this video. Great advice that i can't wait to try. I"m a late age player in my forties. Really appreciate your tips.

[@sabinah]

This was incredible helpful! So obvious when you explain it.

[@motchie5473]

Sir kindly make a video re tennis strings and tensions for recreational players.

[@rotorbreeze]

The information is usually on package and string your racket best let the experts do it and you watch! More on weight of racket and stiffness if you know..I played wooden racket have you? Played with first Aluminum Head Racket and now a full Prince owner!

[@AlexanderGr8]

Another fantastic video Tomaz. Great stuff!

[@samsmlee]

I couldn't agree with this video more. If you are athletic enough or have good enough feel, you can get away with just "reaching for the ball" to get the ball in, but eventually, once you start to play against good players, they will punish you for that.

[@chilledoutnotdead]

Tks Tomaz, ive got so much from your videos, let me know when you are in Dublin,Ireland and ill buy you loads of beers to say thanks.

[@kevinmauterer7870]

I love your videos 👍 God bless keep it up buddy, I’ve been getting better ✔️🎾

"When the player likes winning points more than being rested....." hahaha, very funny and well said.

I really enjoyed these tips and learned a few things I plan to try on these lazy students of mine. :) Thank you!

[@jamesking6030]

The guy at 11:25 looks to have balance on both examples and control and finishes balanced with a back leg following thru after contact

[@jlook6070]

What if we're fatigued from a single (or multiple) full exercise sessions of any kind already (same day or previous day)? Your mobility is diminished even though the fully rested state is a very high level of fitness. I can't get around the court well or even get into an athletic stance to transfer my weight forward then. What should I do if I have to play a match in that physical shape? And skipping the sessions that fatigued you already is not an option.

[@TyRaff]

Static stretching after those intense fitness sessions, as well as enough carbs post workout to replenish glycogen will help reduce next day fatigue.

[@jlook6070]

@@TyRaff I'll try to stretch more then. Does it have to be right after the session(s) or at any time between sessions? Nutrition is likely a factor, thank you I never thought about that possibility.
