As many others have commented, your teaching videos are great: succinct; understandable; logical and accessible. Congratulations on really excelling at your craft.

Good shot Shaheed

Best tutorial on KZfaq on how to handle high balls with a one handed backhand. Thanks!

Excellent tip. I was always struggling with high balls and no coach ever gave this tip. Thank you very much.

I've watched hundreds of tennis videos and I've never heard of this solution to the high balls! Excellent video!

Good job. Expert coaching 10/10. Pulling across on both the forehand and the backhand is critical to hitting high balls.

I played on clay for the first time in several years, and lost all penetration on my forehand. This was a great video. The high preparation is the key, generally once you prepare high, everything else falls into place

All your videos I've seen are awesome. More effective than most lessons I've taken. Thank you. Keep it up

Awesome instruction! I've always had problems hitting high balls and would try to take them on the rise or slice them back. This is how it's supposed to be done! Thanks a bunch. I'm gonna practice this like crazy now!

you are the best tennis coach on youtube. hands down. first, your serve video corrected my swing path and now im able to pronate naturally. now this video completely fixed my errors on the forehand side. i just came back from hitting and i think i missed two balls with this new technique . both misses were because i was too early but other than that i was able to hit pacey shots deep to both corners. with my previous technique i was able to hit cross court successfully maybe 6/10. now im able to hit cross court with ease but now im able to hit opposite court which i was never able to do before. you litterly fixed a huge hole in my game. thank you!!

I was going to put myself through lessons, until I found these videos. Very to the point, and great emphasis on what NOT to do, which I think is more important. Thanks so much coach!

Awesome video! Precisely diagnosed my problem with handling high balls with backhand. Thank you for uploading.

This place was in S'pore Kallang Tennis centre. and he is rally with a S'pore National player. He a Great Coach n in All his KZfaq. Wish you All the Best in what ever You do . Cheers.

This has been something I'd been thinking about for a few weeks so thanks for posting the video!

this is one of the best lessons about backhand on youtube! Great advice! thanks from Brazil!

oldie but a goodie. no one else explain how to handle these high balls as effectively. you are #1.

I agree with other commenters, an excellent video. I have been having trouble hitting high bouncing balls on both sides. I hit with a one-handed backhand, so the advice to start the racket high, but otherwise with the normal racquet take-back, then to hit across the ball horizontally rather than with the normal low to high follow-through, is very helpful. I will practice that today. I have been practicing hitting high balls to my forehand the last few days against a ball-launching machine. I have not mastered the right technique yet, so the suggestions here are very helpful for that as well. Last June I saw some very good, 5.0 players in a tournament, one in particular, consistently return high forehands with a flat trajectory, with a lot of power, deep in the court to either side, but I do not remember the techniques that the player used. This video re-iterates points made in other good videos with regard to both shots. I will keep practicing until I get these strokes right. Мене нравится тоже русское акцент учителя.

Outstanding tutorial on a difficult and subtle area for juniors seeking to play at another higher level quickly.

Great video, I have always wondered how to handle those high balls. Thank You!!

Best tennis tip video I've seen on here.Economical with words and clear on showing technique for the high balls so common at club level tennis.Excellent.

Finally. finally i found a good tennis channel. its so hard to get good tips on this on the internet

Best Tennis Coach on the WEB. Excellent instruction and tips. Thank you

Subscribed. Among other things, I really like how the demo points aren't ridiculously easy examples, rather it really seems like the other guy is actually trying (although I know he's not).

These videos are brilliant... subscribed!

This is really my favorite channel .. i always learn things the right way from u :)

Love all your videos. Such a great teacher with great tips I can take to the court. Thanks a lot!

This is the best video on taking the ball on the rise and being aggressive at the same time..all the other videos show to get back and hit but this is an excellent tip.. Thank you so much!!

your stuff is so great. discovered years ago, now starting to play again

Excellent guidance, and easy to work on! That still traps me (my muscle memory trying to prepare too low). You have to be conscious of this, especially when you first start working on it, to stress a high preparation, so you can come across high. Great tutorial!

Thank you for the tips. I've been struggling with high balls especially on the backhand side. I always feel that I have no power on high ball backhand, hopefully this technique could improve my game.

Exactly what my 1st tennis instructor tried to teach me, either with slice or side-spin, but not as well explained as you did. I used to produce too much spin that hits the net, but now I tried to remember the "high-to-high" finish instead of the normal "low-to-high" stroke.

Now this is the first video I’ve seen from you (subscribed), but your partner hitting balls to you seems to be a master, too. Effortless and perfect demos. *must give credit where credit is due. Thanks for the info!

Great lesson, well described and easily digestible information. Can't wait to put it into action . Thank you

This is helpful to my game. The way you have explained the high ball is excellent. Personally don't fear the high bounce embrace it and get your body in a comfortable position so you can swing the ball, you won't get right if you are a beginner but don't worry take small steps . Watch this video at least ten times so you can see the coach how smooth he hits the ball. What I notice with the high ball is you can snatch at the ball, rush the shot which will looks uncomfortable. Take your time and and digest this instruction because this is what you will need for the return of serve. Also good footwork by the coach.

Another great tutorial, thank you Tomaz you're a fantastic coach!

As always excellent information on tennis techniques. I was aware of the horizontal portion of the follow through when hitting the high ball but I wasn't conscious of the need to angle your racquet diagonally which is a more natural motion once adapted. Many thanks!

As always, you give here some great tips. Thanks a lot Tomaz!

I've been dying (dying I say!) to fix this stroke on the FH side (BH is good). and the realization to prepare high and finish high and hit across the ball is paradigm shifting. I was for sure trying to hit in the bad examples (low to high and hitting up on a high ball). when i watch your videos - there's always a huge AH-Ha moment. THANK YOU GREATLY!

This is great teaching, I saw a video from a different teacher who said to still go low to high on the high ball. That’s incorrect for the reason Feel Tennis said . It’s a different stroke than the low to high for the low ball. Keep your racket high, and it’s almost like an overhead except you swing at around shoulder level, maybe a little lower, maybe a little higher. If you keep your racket high, you’ll start hoping your opponent hits high, so you can drill it. If the ball does come in low, you can always adjust to the low to high swing. But always keep your racket high.

I don't know if you really see this but I think you should continue this style it is completely helpful and brilliant way to structure.

Thank you! Very clear explanation of how to solve the high backhand problem that I've been struggling with (I was/am one of the horizontal can't get out of high ball backhand rally players you talked about).

Excellent lesson, always have great tips and drills.

Love how you make these tips that are accessible for club players. Learnt a lot from you - thank you

Who else is wondering how Shaheed is doing right now after 7+ years of recording this video? Shaheed if you can read this, give us an update.

Great coaching tips and good presentation - thank you.

Nice video. I like the plentiful demonstrations, it helped something click that I hadn't been getting before about pulling across the ball with the same stroke. I needed ammo against the pushers who highball me until I hit a UE.

Muchas gracias Profesor!!! Excelente video e instrucción por lo cual ya me suscribí, pues explicas muy bien. Tenía esa duda en las bolas altas; ahora a aplicarlo.

Thanks for the great tip, Tomaz. Until I saw this video, I had no idea how to handle high balls with my backhand. With your tip, I now have another great tool in my tennis toolbox.

Thanks for the easy way and good advice, very simple explanation and both high backhand shots, single plus double.

YOUR VOICE SOUNDS LIKE NOVAK DJOKOVIC!!!!

Thanks this is really helpful! I realise what I am doing wrong with my forehand now, because of my racquet path which is always starting low, I end up just lobbing the ball back like you said

The best of all your videos. Deals with a tricky shot for many players and this is not taught by all coaches

Best tennis coach ever! Thanks for the video.

Great video, I needed this. Been wanting to know how to handle high balls

Great tips!! Had a lot of struggle with this kind of shot.

Yes great job on the video keeping it clear great audio and good camera work...and demonstration...swing....

I have to say, this is a fantastic video, thank you very much!

This is the video I've been needing

Thanks for that. My coach calls it a transfer shot and I've had trouble for years. You nailed it, I was so focused on getting top spin that I lost all power and control.

This guys is spot on accurate. I developed this same technique over many years - but wish I had this video and I could have saved a lot of time learning.

Very good instructions this one. The high ball on my backhand has always been a problem. I will be using your tips for sure. Thanks for your video.

thank you for teaching us so much, i just had an operation so i cant play but im watching a lot of your videos so when i get back to play i can put them in practice, i always have problems with high balls in my backhand so i hope this helps

thank you for the video. Good advice. This is what i'm lacking in my game since i'm a short player for tennis.

this is my favourite video of yours! It was nice to meet you at Kallang on tuesday

thank you, I'm so failling at high balls right now, it's exactly like you describe it :). Now I know how to improve that !

I usually twist my wrist a bit and fully expand my shoulder in the follow up, that maximizes my power to hit with decent speed and power (I'm SHBH). Single handed is as powerful as doubled, it just takes more practice to get there. My personal approach to high balls is to hit it up rising at shoulder height and jump a little to generate more spin. If the ball is above shoulder, I usually use extreme grips or just slice long. Two handers can't hit above shoulder balls every effective either.

you two are just awesome!

Makes sense! I will try that on court maybe today. Why not today? :) Thanks for your videos; you're the best teacher/instructor on KZfaq

Great instruction on high ball. High preparation is the key to hitting effective ball against incoming high ball

Very good tip, I have hard time hitting balls on the rise, so for now that will help me to stay away from being defensive all the time. Thanks a lot!

Thank you, unequivocal demonstration of handling high balls

Great tip. Answers my question esp on OHB.
