Great video mate - great wrap up of scenarios. Thanks.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@IamnotJohnFord]

One thing I told my wife about yesterday with regard to approach shots, don't try to hit a winner on a short ball. Use the approach shot to position for a winner once you work your way in. I think you get a higher percentage put away shot, and you are still in pretty good position when they try a passing shot. Great video!!

A fine real world video. Seeing Alex's smooth move in the first minute is worth the price of admission. At minute 6 I think you mean 'if your opponent is taken wide, AND his head is down, race to the net. Most of us rec players can cheat by coming inside the baseline, our opponent doesn't detect it since they are more worried about their shot, not the chess match going on.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Haha thanks John! Yeah and always watch out for that lob too

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Do you come into the net in your matches?

[@patrickweston3293]

More and more. Most recreational players at my level have good groundstrokes, and seem to regard tennis as a contest to see who's got the bigger forehand. These guys only approach the net to shake hands! I go to the net (even though my volley is only so-so) simply to assert that I am not their human ball machine, and to wreck their timing.

[@PL-fh8cz]

@@ssenssel Most players at the club level don't come forward to put away a volley. I always remind myself that even Fed only wins about 50-60% of his volley points, so if I get close to that level I'm happy.

[@Pistefka]

I've started coming in to the net much more recently, because during the covid lockdown I got loads of volley practise playing mini tennis in the garden with my son, which was 80% volleys (small garden). However, I probably do it too often as I keep getting lobbed. Is it wise to slightly delay coming in, to kind of disguise it?

[@patrickweston3293]

@@Pistefka I hit volleys on the driveway with my kiddo too. It's a great equalizer. The small ones have the quick hands! As for opponents who lob, I try to be prepared to take a couple of steps back and smack an overhead at their shoes. Let's see them land deep lobs inside the line all match long. If they can, congrats to them!

[@Pistefka]

@@patrickweston3293 Yep, punishing a lob with an overhead smash is very satisfying!

Top Tennis Training - Pro Tennis Lessons probably ‘volley’ and ‘nerves control’ when serving.

[@ReidVV]

Great, comprehensive lesson. Thanks. I especially liked the approach into space. Great tip. Questions: Should my approach shots mostly be down the line? When is a cross court approach ok? After each type of approach shot, where should I position myself to pressure my opponent and minimize pass angles and lobs?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

We cover these topics in depth in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4S8pnpqprSVhMU It will be in the second phase of the lesson, when we discuss coming forward

[@MiguelAngelo-bl5to]

Great video. Please teach us how to attack properly second servive with slice forehand and backhand.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Chip and charge is something we cover inside our tactics course on our website

[@NiemeyerMar]

People who play better than me say my service is really good and I see they have a bad time to return. I need to develop the natural move and pace to go straight to the net afterwards. I am tall and fast, but I tend stay on the far back. I will see this video 10 times to help me to force into that!!! thanks

thanks really appreciate it! you guys are top, and the new soundtrack is great too.

[@matthewburleton8247]

When I play, I seem to get really negatively affected by pressure. Do you have any tips on how to keep the mindset you have in a conventional rally and taking that mindset into a game. Thanks

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

You have to focus on the process, what are you trying to achieve and how are you trying to play less about the outcome, this will take the pressure off and hopefully help you play great tennis!

[@g2tennis]

Something I do that helps me is counting the hits. Helps me keep my mind on the point and not thinking forward and feeling anxious

[@MrMarius305]

awsome vid just have a question, how to deal with a fast spinning slice serve?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

You have to be ready to adjust your positioning, so be light on the balls of your feet, make sure you keep your swings short and really track the ball well with your eyes. Are there any lessons you would like to see in the near future?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Yes we will film one for beginners! :)

[@xiaoxiao8523]

Great tips! I wonder why nowadays we don't see any net play very often anymore, especially in the women's game? I personally find it very effective - the funny thing is that by the end of the match, they only remembered the volleys that I won, but I only remember the ones that I loss :) so it seems that even if I miss the volley or get lobbed, it creates a lot of pressure to my opponents.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

For sure, it shows your opponent that they can't get away with giving you balls with not enough quality because you will approach and put them under pressure. Forces them to overplay!

Top Tennis Training - Pro Tennis Lessons Thank you a lot !

[@elioth745]

I've an awkward question. I clearly know that the more you're unskilled, the less you benefit from a proper racquet for yourself. The more you progress, the more you can obtain from a proper racquet and setup. But what do you think of pro stocks and pro room racquets? That's a 6.1 pro stock? What do you guys think about these types of racquets for a 5.5/6 player?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I think it all depends on the player. Certain rackets would benefit a certain gamestyle much more than others. A player who wants more feel and control could benefit from a customised racket that has been modified for additional control etc

[@MrSandertheman]

.. but what about the lob? My opponents tend to start lobbing over me a lot when they see I go for the net often.

[@claudiozanella256]

Yes, good tips. However, the legacy approach shot always was the slice (backhand) (Noah, for example). You don't talk about that.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

We cover the slice approach shot in many other lessons on this channel 👍

[@amiteshwarkukreja]

I come into the net sometimes but some of my opponents hit deep on the court

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Yes a great idea, when they are far back the ball takes longer to reach you giving you more time to get in, it also makes dipping the ball into the feet alot more difficult

[@raghavm.6801]

With all due respect mr Alex, there is no substance to this lesson. U simply told us when to come to net, nothing about how to actually do it. Nothing but examples of when when when, not how how how! A very poor video from such a prestigious website
