I went to a tennis academy for 5 years, playing 3 hours everyday, tournaments on Saturday’s and playing extra on the Sundays to get a leg up. Hitting against the wall is one of the best ways to hone in on the fundamentals. If you want to improve fast, watch fundamental of each tennis stroke and practise against the wall. Excellent video

i am here after practicing for the first time using a wall… i kept hitting the ball over the wall onto the court behind it 😬 thankfully there was a nice family that would chuck the balls back over.. gotta work on that aim… it’s hard being a new player teaching yourself from youtube, but with great videos like this it makes it easier ☺️

Keep working on it 👍 You can also try to train against the wall with green or orange junior balls until you get the feel. That would reduce the bounce and make it easier to control. Good luck with the improvements Simon

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I've been looking for a nice wall for six months, but nearly all of them are somebody's walls; as soon as I start hitting a ball onto them, an angry person will turn up and stop me. Being desperate, I bought a notorious tennis training kit with a ball attached to a rubber band. It didn't work at all. The action of the ball was so unnatural, it didn't feel like tennis at all. Finally, I found one wall with which I can probably practice volleys only. How about effective lob? Where to aim it and when with what grip? And how to master it on your own.

Hey Simon - I’ve heard some debate about the effectiveness of the wall, specifically how it can trick you into hitting hard without knowing the real depth of a shot. What do you think are the shortcomings of the wall to be aware of? As you’re demonstrating here, it can clearly be a good practice tool. Thanks so much for your videos, really great work.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

For sure wall training has some downsides. As you say, you don't know where the ball would go on a normal court, however, if you don't hit the balls too hard and focus more on control along with aiming higher than net level etc, it should translate over well to a proper court.

@@MonkeyEngjell wow! congrats! i was wondering how you taught yourself the right way to hit the ball from the 1.0 level, say, the kinetic chain.

[@MonkeyEngjell]

@@abratdarcy it's really an instinctive way for myself. at, first my forehand was really flat and I wasn't using my legs and my hips also, the movement of my racket was linear. Which by watching videos like this I realize I was missing some points. Then I can say now I do have a decent top spin on my forehand and I have more power. It may seem nothing when I explain it but I just can feel it if something is wrong and of course, filming yourself helps a lot. Also, prior to that I was an athletic person. I played football,basketball, martial arts.. so it wasn't like I just started playing a sport. I am still lacking a lot but i can say by hitting the wall I was able to become a better player. sorry for the long response.

Thanks for the great video. When hitting against the wall I find that I have less time for coiling my body, rotating the heaps, following through etc... As a result I tend to play only with my arm. I'm wondering if that could give me bad habits/automatism. Do you think this is true and if yes how I could avoid that?

[@xalpacazeu1332]

So amazing! I do not what type of strings to get for my racket, any recommendations?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I would suggest trying out a few different types and seeing which one suits your game. Thanks for watching. Are there any other videos you'd like to see from us in the near future? Simon

I'm trying to improve with each shot, but I find that the ball I use bounces a lot, does that influence being able to have continuity in the shots, and not have to stop every 5 seconds? Maybe I'm still quite afraid to hit the ball and not want to throw it away or to the other side of the wall, because I lose them. Thanks for your advice, and for sharing. excellent video.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Yes, using an older ball can help for sure

[@cambium0]

The best tennis wall I've played on was the side of a grade school. the asphalt play lot next to it was usually empty and I used street chalk to draw in the net as well as the full half of the court on my side. The building was about 5 stories on this side with almost no windows so I never hit the ball OVER. I could practice lobs, smashes really easily. But yeah playing the wall is great for all the reasons mentioned in this video. It's also a way to be really creative about training. But to be fair he should have left at least one shanked ball in the edit because that is definitely part of it (except for playing on that school wall. but they built an addition over the school yard which is now located on the top of the building: no more awesome wall).

Great vid Thanks Are you using normal ball? Love the wall too 💪 Repetition repetition x1000

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Many thanks 🙏 Yes, a normal ball which wasn’t brand new. A new ball gets destroyed against the wall with high reps

You make it look so easy. Question: Is the ball somewhat deflated or fresh out of a can? While you're smacking it, it seems to come back at a slightly slower pace than expected.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

The ball in this video was not brand new but had been used a few times, wasn't a deflated ball however. I suggest using a slightly older ball, to begin with, and once you start improving on the wall you can start using harder balls.

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thank you for your quick response. You guys are the best YT tennis coach out there. I have two suggestions: 1) A video or a pdf that maybe refer to your prior vids, that present a, say, 10-week training schedule for various levels. Maybe for 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0. 2) a live stream Q&A!

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial A Pro at our club recommended your KZbin channel while I was ranting about how hard it is to find good instruction online. Your videos have greatly helped my game. Regarding your question, help on the mental part of the game. For example, when someone in doubles is right on top of the net I feel bad going at them. Tennis is such a mental game - lol.

Hey Simon great video. Was wondering if the wall in this video is perfectly vertical or tilted back at an angle at all?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thanks for watching Euel. The wall in this video is a normal vertical wall, not tilted at all. Are there any other videos you'd like to see from us in the near future? Simon

If I'm using semi-western grip for forehand, what kind of grip should I change if I want to slice forehand?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Continental grip, same grip we serve and hit volleys with

[@HumbleBearcat]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Is that the same as backhand grip? Thanks

[@blu1806]

Hi Simon thanks for the vid, I use it to practice the non dominant hand and the serve u can really monitor your improvements. Where is it that beautiful wall? Free???

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thanks for watching. This wall is at the national tennis centre in the UK, it's closed to the public, only for high-performance players and LTA coaches. Are there any other videos you'd like to see from us in the near future? Simon

[@blu1806]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial You are wellcome.Thanks for your answer. There are many actually, but the most imperative at the moment is the serve. What Im looking for is the correlation between the stances and The take-backs and the toss hight and direction. Would be nice to see the various styles analized and compared with a software?

[@nickbavera362]

Simon, I frequently wall hit. Your technique of course is fabulous. This is much harder than you make it look. I found early on that if you dont hit the ball pretty darn straight, it won't come back to you. I also found out straight away that a regular new tennis ball seems to come back so fast that its darn near impossible to prepare to properly execute a groundstroke. It appears you also are using a pressure-less ball. Am i correct or do i just stink that badly to be unable to use a regular ball?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thanks for watching. I'm using normal balls, they are slightly worn out but still good. Are there any videos you'd like to see from us in the near future? All the best Simon

[@potzysk2]

You can practice overheads with a wall too. Stand about 20 feet away from the wall and smash the ball so it hits the ground a few feet in front of the wall, then it will pop up well over your head so you can smash it again. Of course on a real court you wouldn't aim to hit the ground less than 20 feet in front of you (unless you are very close to the net), but at least you get to practice timing, coordination, and footwork on the overhead.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I demonstrate that in the original video from 2012
