[Tennis] How Beautiful! Former Japan No.1 Player Tips on Back Volleys

[@stevel.2759]

This guy played Federer in the 2004 or 2005 Australian open. Best serve and volleyer in the tournament. He's also teaching secret details only pros know.

[@newbro]

Yeah I watched some of his earlier matches with Federer, his volleys are amazing to watch.

[@keeternow]

Kiwa-chan is awesome! Brings fun to job and channel

[@vlesmeries]

Ah. Excellent point. After filming myself hitting backhand volleys (poorly) I can now see that I’m hitting the ball too far in front of my body. Thanks for the excellent lesson.

[@ryansoileau9569]

Getting ready for my first tournament in a few weeks I hope this advice will help me because my backhand volley can be bad at times

[@woohkim8637]

great lesson . Thank you for sharing the tips only pros could know.....

[@peterrattenbury8608]

This is excellent coaching.

[@francissilva9822]

The idea of the volley going from outside-in rather than backwards-forwards is completely Eye opening

[@DonYang73]

With due respect to Suzuki and Onoda, Miss Kiwa is like the Star of Star Tennis Academy. 😅😁 i am sure she has many fans around the world! 👌✌️

[@zenbowski5489]

Anyone notice Takao Suzuki-san voice sounded very similar to Frieza from Dragonball? :D. Anyway, great lesson as always.

[@Erik_001]

Good lesson. Thank you.

[@keeternow]

Star Tennis Academy Team - please consider videos that discuss where to strike the ball at the contact point. Example 1 - during the forehand or backhand for heavy topspin do you have racquet at a closed 45 degree angle and then hit the top part of the ball above the balls equator or up the back from 6 to 12 o'clock on the ball? Example 2 - during the backhand volley do you have racquet at an open 20 degree angle and then hit the back center part of the ball or down the back from 12 to 6 o'clock on the ball? Thank you!

Beautiful volley.....

[@wongjefx980]

back hand volley (punch) vs back hand slice (back spin)... the back hand slice tricky for me... but for a one-handed back hand hitter, if I don't have time to execute a proper back hand, I wish I could go to a decent back hand slice to keep ball in play to setup the next point opportunity...

[@bcellable]

Agreed. Even the volley lesson. Lol

[@ferdinandbautista984]

Explain to me the outcome when hitting the top,middle,bottom of ball with Topspin. I use a semi western grip

[@polongyun6800]

Thank you!

[@mikeso5963]

I know that holding the grip firm will help . but I am afraid that if the contact point is not center, can develop tennis elbow.

[@mikelobiox]

Que hermosa la chinita, por ella voy a aprender el tennis voley❤❤🎉🎉🎾🎾🇵🇪🇵🇪

[@bcellable]

Thank you for a wonderful volley lesson on the backhand side. Yes a two hander will have a much shorter or abbreviated path is the did not release at impact the non dominant hand. Kiwa-San is as gorgeous as ever. Lol. Subscribe... subscribe... subscribe. Roger wilco.

I like the video and different points of view from each player. However, I've noticed that there are comments about "females, women" that come off as misogynistic. Maybe it's the culture there but it seems disparaging towards women..

[@ludensregisluciscaelum7636]

Women tennis technique is very different from men, even though is the same game. Because of physic differences, both cannot be coached/trained with the same approach. As an example, men tend to win more games with their serve, because they develop the strength and accuracy for aces and finish points fast with volleys. On the other hand, women cannot serve with the same power and speed, therefore, they are not coached/trained aiming to the same goal. If you watch a ladies game you will notice their serve gets broken often, so they approach to the game is totally different in that sense. Many other examples exist, some are subtle and not so obvious as the serve, and nothing related to a women discrimination culture.

[@bmanbusee3812]

@@ludensregisluciscaelum7636 Huh? Fundamentals are basically the same for everyone, regardless of sex. Sure everyone has a different style that suits them best but I’ve never been to a tennis clinic where they separated men and women and trained them differently. Wth? Yes, power differences may arise and basically that’s it. ( see forehands on wta versus atp to accommodate lack thereof). Sounds like your referencing style and strategy instead of basic fundamentals which both sexes are taught pretty much the same

[@miguelbarahona6636]

It´s not misogynistic, it´s a fact, at least in the case of this video (backhand volley) and in modern game. Nowadays, most women have 2 handed backhands, and also don´t have a good 1 handed backhand slice. That makes them not comfortable at backhand volleys (they try to volley with 2 hands on the grip). But this is a condition of modern game, because many women in the 70´s, 80´s and 90´s had great backhand volleys (in that era most women had one handed backhands).

[@ludensregisluciscaelum7636]

@@bmanbusee3812 I brought the example of tennis serve to illustrate my point about the difference between the training approach of men women coaching. I do not know which tennis clinics you went, but Kiwa-san has a good tennis already, and Suzuki-sensei is trying to polish her technique, this is not fundamentals. You should delete your comment or edit your argument, and try hard to not bring toxic/negative points of view to the channel.

[@ferdinandbautista984]

Great lesson. The Asian are just not strong enough in the pro level.

[@josephtung9764]

You must not know much about tennis then. Several top asian players have played the game, including grand slam champions like Michael Chang, Li Na, and Naomi Osaka. Li won couple slams on the women's side. Chang is the youngest grand slam winner in history and won a slam before Sampras, Agassi, or Courier got theirs. He may have only gotten 1 slam, but Chang reached career high ranking #2 in the world and nearly took the #1 spot from Sampras in 1996. Current women doubles #1 ranked player is also asian. I think it's clear there will be more top Asian players soon.
