The real example of what is the main goal of a tennis player: stability! Thank you master!

Why does this video not has more clicks?! So important, thank you!

your discussion of balance is a true epiphany. Thank you!

I first like videos from feeltennis and then watch them :) because every single one is really good.

I think that's so key to realize...that you don't need to squeeze the racket tight, but rather that the solidity comes from a solid leg foundation

Think this series of videos on balance is very critical and most of the time, being overlooked.

Yes finally another feeltennis video!!!

This guy knows about tennis,i had to learn these things with trail and error over a period of 25 years.Any young kid watching here,listen to this man,its very good advice. Important to have quick footwork,but as you stroke the ball be relaxed,focused,be balanced.

Wooo! Another feel tennis video baby! Thanks!

This video is spot on. As a coach, I have worked with a lot of professional players both at Hopman Academy and IMG during Bollettieri’s golden years. The reason I believe Americans have dropped tremendously compared to the Europeans and South Americans is because Americans value a muscular look that is larger in the upper body where most Europeans and South American players value large, powerful legs with a thinner but still muscular upper body. The American players are notoriously upper body heavy and it takes a huge toll on their balance under extreme movement and that lack of balance causes a reduction in hitting efficiency and precision. Why has Serena done so well? Look at her legs. Massive. Great balance. The key to the great stability and balance begins with the legs and a lean upper body that can easily be controlled by the powerful legs. There’s a reason soccer players make great tennis players. Thin upper bodies and massive legs for the great base.

this part I and part II is the best didactic video of learning tenis i have ever seen. And I am a tennis coach.

I come from Vietnam. thank you. I have learned a lot.

As usual Great instruction

I m following ur video from few days. From our school days , I used to watch tennis for time pass. Now I am making my daughter learn tennis and asking her to take tennis seriously. She is giving a lot of effort. As we dont have better or u can say good basic coaching classes I am playing with her morning n evening just to keep her rhythm. As I dont have any idea of technique I used to c lot of KZfaq video. But more I c d video more I get confused. From few days I started watching ur video I m getting better n clear picture of tennis. Keep uploading more video so parents can learn n give more efforts from there side.

Wow, the step on the ball drill is amazing! Thank you Tomaz

consistently excellent instruction from Tomaz

Another excellent piece of tennis teaching

Your insights surpass even Ian Westermann's--and he's a good explainer. Thank you for genuine help.

I have self isolated for the last week or so and have been thinking about balance and poise a lot. I thought about several weeks when I played tennis with really cheap shoes. They were actually wrestling shoes and the soles were so thin I started walking on eggshells. I played unbelievably and the chief thing I noticed was that my heels were always off the ground, but that the bottoms of my feet were very close to parallel with the ground at all times. Further, when I played table tennis as a kid, My swing evolved away from the use of ground force. I ended up always turning my toes so the foot pointed away from the target on every shot. That puts them in the position where you can land on the inside of the ball of the foot on every shot. Finally, connection and poise seem to me to be initiated by a slight stretch in the wrist/finger at the end of the backswing and flicking the racquet down and out with that finger or thumb to hit your groundstrokes.

Thank you another basic learnings

Awesome video that explains a lot of my problems of putting the ball in the net. Thanks again coach.

This video is very helpful and thorough. Thank you.

Tom, I am just learning to play tennis and still struggle with so many things..but I just have to look for one of your videos and I can find out what am I doing wrong..love the way you explain and reason each concept, rather than just tell what to do..

Thank you, master!

Awesome . This is what i really want .

Great!

why would anyone dislike this??

Instinctively I always thought staying on the heels as a sign of being lazy. I have the tendency to take my foot through the contact point and hence never ending up in the same position as when I started the stroke. This is a revelation. Thanks Tomaz. Will try to implement it religiously.

Thank you for your dedication to the tennis techniques. Your videos are very helpful to me. Sometimes I go back and learn more. Thank you for the “Tennis balance” part 1 and 2, It is so useful and deep knowledge. I cannot wait to practice after the pandemic.

테니스 실력 향상에 많은 도움이 될것 같네요 영상 잘 보았습니다

Can't thank you enough.

Good job

Hopefully you will consider about the importance of non dominant hand on forehand

Sorry i read the answer afterwards. thanks Tomaz hi Tomaz, i liked it very much and i have a question : for my part i thought that you should be on " tip-toes" for your footwork so what i find difficult is the transition between tip-toes and full foot on the ground when making your shot. As i watched your vid till the end i realised that may be the split step should be the time to change from tip toe to plain foot on ground to move to the spot where you want to be when hitting the ball. Any comment on that ? May be i should not think about it and all will come naturally but watching your videos really help focusing on parts that are not all "natural" for recreational player like me. Any way thanks a lot, you changed my tennis forever. cheers from France.

Hi Tomaž, I was wondering if you could do a video about how to practice with a wall. These days of lockdown would be much appreciated. Many thanks for your videos, it really helped me to improve and love tennis. JP

Hi Thomas, great video as always, I have one question... Planting the foot in the ground for me is clear in the backhand and in the close or neutral stance forehand, but in the open stance forehand is not that clear, we can plant the right foot before the swing, but when our swing starts we should rotate that right foot elevating the heel, right? And that's makes more difficult to me to have that sensation of stability after an open stance forehand

Could you share the video about how to train the children from 0 to 1? Thank you

Hey! Thanks alot for this video. I started learning tennis in my early 20s and i tend to stay on my foot with my heels lifted so that i can react or run faster. Seeing this video i feel my technique is quite wrong and i often tend to loose balance while hitting short balls. I will trying following your advice, any other tips for someone who has a messed up basic technique😅

Thank you Tomaz, I watched your video now, it is very useful for me. I have movement my upper body while hitting the ball in short balls especially. I learned to stay stable of my body and wrist beside baseline from this video. When I approach to short balls and then going to net, I am in rush and I am not waiting to finish my stroke. Is there any drill to keep stable my body while hitting for short balls and then approaching net on time for volley? I mean how (or when) is the transit steps from approaching stroke to volley stroke? Thanks.

Hey Tomás! I am confused because we are always told to stay on the balls of our feet, so what are we supposed to do? Stay on the balls and on the last step step in with the heel to stay balanced? Great content as usual keep it up and stay safe!

The connection between a stable base and stable wrist is known as the kinetic chain. Balance and stability of the lower body more efficiently transfers energy through the hips to the core and finally the upper extremity. As you pointed out if you have a death grip or if you arm the ball you kill much of the potential energy.

prefer grass court/ better shoes/footwork.

To plant your foot better, plant heel first and th rest of foot will follow

I think thecfocus of all his video are to improve recreqtional players and it only make sense up to that level

Second

First 😍😍

hey man You really use this racquet? why?

Inertia is staying still, I think you meant momentum.

It's easy, but when you start playing a game. It's tougher to employ all this things. You tennis coaches don't always tell the truth.
