Great video!! How to do it with a ball machine? Would love a video on returning

[@linusblomberg913]

Probably just place the ball machine behind the place you are aiming your serve and set it to shot right after your shot lands

[@transklutz]

​@@linusblomberg913 how does a ball machine know when a shot lands?

[@linusblomberg913]

@@transklutz You just have to time it to shot like every 20 seconds and hold your serve to that timing.

[@paulczerner3286]

[@mikebikekite1]

During the lockdown a few years back I made my own rebound target out of wood I found in the garage with the intention of practicing volleys in my garden. It was about a meter square and and raised off the ground to simulate another player. After using it I realised that I should of built it much bigger as my volleying hit everything except the board :(

[@TeamTennisfr]

Where did you buy those tennis wall rebound things? I want to buy 2 and set it up the way you did. Do you have an amazon link or something?

[@devpatel7154]

My problem Is placing the serve and developing a first serve. I love how you said consistency means nothing if you don't have a serve but with my serve I just make sure to get it in every time with a slight slice and then focus the rally on being consistent lol. Im going to try and learn placement now to use these patterns

[@hugovazoliveira]

Nice. Do the return + 1 too 🙌🏼

[@private5149]

Yes, please provide a serve + one or two return video. Also, please add the link for you to get credit/money for when we purchase these Target boards, thank you so much!!!

[@bradleyjacovides994]

Hi Ash, would be fun a match between you and Felix. Cheers!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Would be fun for Felix 😅 I’ll think about it!

[@raidraid6672]

Thank you for great videos. Your instructions are clear and simple to follow. My toss is inconsistent in terms of hight, place, point of release etc..Also, I can't seem to toss the ball without it spinning in the air. I have seen many videos that advice to keep the arm straight, no bending of joints etc.. and was wondering if you have a different remedy to this problem.

[@patrikmarflak6559]

The most important thing is to avoid holding the ball in your palm. Learn to toss from the fingers. Imagine you are holding a cup or an icecream cone. That’s the way you should hold the ball if you want to have consistent toss. So just release your fingers from the cone/cup when your arm is up. You will still need to practice it to get used to it and toss in the right height and position, but you will see there is no spin on the ball when you do it this way. The spinning only happens when the ball touches your fingers after leaving your palm. If it’s released directly from fingers, there is no spin.

[@menbanh8197]

I'm struggling with my first serve when playing double. I'm using the Kick serve or Slice serve for both of 1 and 2 serve. It's good for me when I play against the same level player, but it's a weakness with the higher level who can return my serve with very powerful shot. Any tips on that case?

[@julestennisuniverse]

this was supposed to stay kinda secret in order for us to keep our edge...😅

[@TheTennisMentor]

😬😬

[@frankojudoka]

Tennis sling is another good tool.

[@architennis]

Well...saying that practicing just the serve by itself is not a good thing assumes you have a solid, grooved serve motion. For those of us trying to improve our serve technique, reps and focus are crucial. I'll be sticking to my "just practicing the serve alone" for quite a while I'm afraid.

[@TheTennisMentor]

You’re right Doug, sometimes there IS a need to practice in isolation, maybe I was too harsh putting my point across… but I am a firm believer in making your training more realistic when you can. There is one thing you can do to make your isolated practice more realistic… add your split step/ready position afterwards 😊

[@whitecheddar4458]

Just to be clear-you don’t think there is much value in practicing your serving targets on they’re own with out the first ball? Regardless of level? That’s a hot take. But I see what you mean as well. Great video

[@TheTennisMentor]

It did sound like that when watching back… although I do stand by my view that practicing the next ball makes your serve practice more realistic and so better for your matchplay, there is a time and a place where practicing your serve alone can also be useful. I mentioned to someone else in the comments that if you really need to isolate the serve, try to add a split step afterwards to develop good habits! Thanks for watching and for your comment 😊

[@AhmedKhan-io7qk]

what level are these tips for cuz i don't have the accuracy to hit the targets consistently lmaoo

[@NB2069]

Good ideas, but putting the return shields too close will lead to absolutely wrong timing. You are wright, it's better to use a partner who can return well.

[@sebastiandomagala9233]

So, to put it short: just play matches.

[@TheTennisMentor]

Nothing’s better than matches for putting everything together but sometimes you need more volume, so practicing like I was can dial in your serve plus one!

[@Dragonlord9]

Not many can do what you do in the video. You are just too good

[@TheTennisMentor]

I’m good alright… good at cutting out the bad shots 🧑‍💻😉

[@willfletch5871]

My biggest problem is my serve is brilliant when I practice and total crap in a match. HELP!!!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Do you practice the serve plus one? Or serve on its own? The more realistic you can make your serve practices, the easier it will be to transfer into matchplay… Either add pressure to your practice (add targets and consequences) or reduce pressure in matches (not as easy!)
