What Is A Good Neutralising Ball In Tennis?

Күн бұрын

When you hit.a good neutral ball in tennis you keep your opponent behind the baseline and prevent them from attacking you. www.feeltennis.net/neutralisi...
Not only that, a good neutral ball is tactically very safe to play and yet it also causes trouble to your opponent which here and there forces an error.
In this video you'll learn a simple way to tactically define what a good neutralising ball is and how it helps you play more consistent forehands and backhands from behind the baseline.
You'll also learn a simple tennis drill to help you develop a better neutralising ball so that your opponents will find it very hard to attack you from the baseline which will likely lead to them increasing the risk of their shots and consequently hit more unforced errors.

Gracias Maestro for the idea of a Neutralizing Ball, I had only being told about a deep in the court ball but not about the rising over the baseline idea, very good aspect to keep in mind next time. Thanks

Once you "want" your deep ball also to rise over the baseline, you will subconsciously adjust your strokes and body movements in such a way to achieve that and that's one way your technique will improve further down the road not to mention the quality of your shots.

Very simple concept, yet so useful. Again, really appreciate to share this with us Tomaz. Can't wait for the next video about the heavy ball, mainly because I want to align my understanding about what exactly the heavy ball is with yours, as well as to know some drills to be able to put it consistently to the other side of the net.

Thanks Tomaž, another excellent video. As a side note, for those outside the US who may not be familiar with the NTRP rating scale, it’s not really that useful for rating the quality of individual strokes. NTRP ratings are ultimately based on competitive results. So my individual strokes may meet the written definitions for, say, a 4.0 player, but if I can’t win roughly 50% of matches against others in a 4.0 league with reported scores, then I’m not a 4.0.

In this video I am pointing out just technical skills so NTRP can easily be applied and understood. Majority of viewers of my videos are based in the US therefore the decision to use the rating they understand.

Wow thanks alot Tomaz. Two new concepts I learned from the video. A good neutralizing ball and the ideal strike zone. There are players who are also comfortable playing above the ideal strike zone so maybe I think ball speed too could be important in the rally to make your opponent uncomfortable. Thanks for the video Coach. Good job

@feeltennis 9 ай бұрын

The more skilled the player, the more comfortable they are above the strike zone. Keep in mind the target audience on KZfaq are recreational adult tennis players and not pros so we need to talk to them directly and not really go into what the best players in the world are capable of. Talking about the best players, the same rule applies to them - at their level of play the ball that is rising over the baseline will in most cases neutralise the attacks - hence here and there you see long rallies.

I was aware of this but I didn’t think of it as something I could practice or use strategically. I just knew that deep rising balls were difficult and I couldn’t do much with them. Great content! Thank you!

Thank you Tomaz. Is there any special way to make the ball rising? Thank you🙏

@feeltennis 9 ай бұрын

At basic level (before we talk about heavy ball), you need to hit the ball with good enough height above the net and moderate speed so that it lands deep, at least over the service line. You need to aim in the right window above the net: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbCEnreZprGxfYU.html

@Feel Tennis Instruction Hi ! I would like to ask you or someone who understands, to explain one thing to me, I have been playing tennis professionally and I have been training it for two years, let's say I have been playing recreationally, I play with Babolat Pure Drive 315 g, I have been reading and watching about rackets for a long time and I'm thinking of switching to Head, because I'm missing that kind of control in the exchanges, and now I'm really undecided between Gravity pro or Speed pro,or some other racket? so I'm interested in the opinion of which racket might be better suited? please can i get an answer

@feeltennis 9 ай бұрын

The Babolat Pure Drive is one of the most powerful rackets out there based on its design. Of course you can kill its power if you string it very tight but likely you kept it at default string tension. I don't think Head Gravity or Speed are more powerful rackets, I would argue that they are more precise rackets. Again, the string tension is a factor - more tight strings, more control and precision, less tension - more power. So generally you will get more control with Head rackets but if you string the Babolat tighter you will likely get the same control. You also need a string that grips the ball well, like synthetic gut or multifilament string. I used to play with Pro Kennex Kinetic many years ago and I strung it 29 kg for match play - because it was such a powerful racket by default.

@@feeltennis i have RPM Blast strings,I used to play tennis recreationally, but now for the last year and a half, almost 2, I have been doing it professionally, in the sense that I train tennis, I play it in a club, I think I am intermediate level, I am still looking for myself, I don't know exactly which racket would suit me Novak is my idol, his style of play I like it, I took the Babolat PD, it's not bad, but I feel like I lack control and that's why I consider Head to take, so I asked for your opinion on which racket you would recommend and maybe what weight, because my current racket is 315 g plus 9 grams of Babolat weights and is that maybe too heavy for me?

@feeltennis 9 ай бұрын

Yes, it may be a bit too heavy for you to manoeuvre precisely into the ball especially in more tricky situations and you will lose control sooner than with a bit lighter racket. If you can, I would suggest you test play some rackets with weights of 300-305 grams and see how they feel.

@MajorMan-ij8by 9 ай бұрын

@@feeltennis Before the Babolat Pure Drive Tour, which is 315 g, I had a B PD of 285 g, but I deliberately took a heavier racket because I thought it would be easier for me to play, one more question, will it help or improve my game if I go to Head and which one should i take, my style of play is I play from the base line aggressively, I like to be explosive and I rarely go to the net, and I'm left handed haha
