Hey Nik, would be great to see a video from you on how a rec player should approach training and practice in order to improve. How many hours a week with a coach, how many hours a week with a hitting partner, how to make practice sessions without a coach productive, etc. Many folks cant afford too many hours with a coach, but it's hard to improve and get better when just hitting with a friend. Would love to hear from you!

My game is based on the fact that my opponent underestimates my shots and game play. My backpack aids tremendously in this and I even won tournaments with this style. My opponent in that final admitted after the match that due to my appearance and shots in practice he thought he could not lose this.

Backpack all the way baby! #TeamBackpack

It’d be great if you could do a video on warming up before a match, share some of your insight and experience on strengthening some areas like shoulders, elbow and knees with some tips or exercises. Personally I’ve been suffering from shoulder problems which impacted a lot on my game almost even considering stopping it entirely. As always loved the video, quality content as expected of you, thanks.

Nikola, you are the teacher in theoretical tennis I never had. Love your videos. Today I met my first pusher and I got so angry. Then I saw your video on the topic, and I realized I had to subscribe to your channel. Ciao and keep it up, Nicola

Nik brings more stuff on the court every lesson then I ever will in a whole year hahaha

My backpack - rec player only 2 racquets 2 cans of balls drink Light hand towel thing, which ill usually wet. Aussie heat can be brutal. Wipe sweat and/ or hang around neck Dampeners Sunglasses sports tape Must have - Vape and ejuice (ex smoker and only thing that helped me quit lol) gum - lets any nervous energy out. Probably got it from my cricket days.

I like my adidas tennis back pack! Right now its holding 3 rackets, 4 cans of balls, 4 water bottles, a change of clothes and medical equipment. I look cool AF walking on the court.

Literally just got my pure strike bag yesterday! Love it!

The outfit you wear to protect you of the sun reminds me of my own experience. I wear a hijab and so only my face and hands are not covered when I'm out in the sun. Most people assume that it must be really hard because it must be really hot. In reality, I don't think it feels much hotter and you get great protection from the sun. Well worth the trade-off in my opinion! Thank you for this lovely video and all of your other videos as well! I recently came across your videos and have just gotten back into playing tennis so they've been super helpful!

My bag: 2 tennis racquets A lot of water extra clothes tennis shoes flip flops an extra overgrip band aids and a towel

offense taken, i challenge you to a match with my backpack

Very interesting video with great points, Nik. One question: how specifically do plastic bags over the racket head protect the strings? Regarding nutrition: my understanding is that you can avoid the sugar high followed by the sugar low by taking some protein and fiber along with the sweet. So dates are great because they are high fiber. Eating a few walnuts along with, e.g., raisins, will even out the sugar variation by providing both fiber and protein. I am a big fan of arm sleeves. I believe they achieve their cooling power by drawing sweat away from your arm into its fabric where it can more easily evaporate as well as radiating sunlight (if they are white). However, I do not use these on cloud days as I find that they make me warmer than not wearing them. If you don't need to carry more than six rackets, I find the Adidas bag a better alternative than traditionally shaped bags. This bag is designed to be placed vertically so that its specially designed deep storage pockets can hold items with less jumbling than traditional bags cause. As far as overgrips, have you tried Völkl's V-Dry grips? For me they combine great absorption power with a very comfortable feel. They don't seem to be commonly used but that may simply be due to marketing insufficiency.

My backpack and I feel attacked

Tournament play I bring an extra set of clothes in my bag. As well as another set of clothes in the car. And, another towel.

8:20 the Ivan Lendl hat.

The cooler the tennis bag, the higher the expectations in your game. Your game has to back up your look otherwise you risk being called a poser.

I’m a tourament player and I bring 3 Rackets Big Water bottle Gatorade Wristbands Headbands Extra grips Extra strings 2 or 3 cans balls Cones Extra pair of shoes

Now I understand why 12 racket bags are needed LOL

Haha, escaped from ugly-shit-weather germany and landed at sunshine-state florida and working now like a mummy :-))) That is a real progress, Nik ;-)

can’t wait to see the aracic premium brand tennis bag, guaranteed to make even bad tennis players look cool

Liked the thumbnail

grüße aus deutschland! love your channel, helped me out a lot!

I love the backpack shade!

the matching socks and shorts tho

I use a backpack and I can say I have yet to lose to anyone wearing a neck shade hat... lol

Don’t forget to bring a towel !

I can barely afford one racquet lol all I need is a backpack

Amazing thanks

next time on court, I'm not even going to bring a backpack. Just a racquet and my jordan 1's. Psych him out

I use a travel bag that I got at a yard sale for 2$. I would feel much worse if I l had an expensive bag and lost to a player who just carries his racquet in his hand.

lol'd so hard at your pet peeve

hi Nik, I can't find the exact hat you're wearing, would you mind posting a direct link to it? :)

should make a video on buying a stringing machine 👀

Not in agreement making fun of backpacks. Much cheaper and easier for those on a bike to use a backpack to the courts than a big babolat bag they charge tons of $ for and get free advertising. BTW, funny to see many players show up with the most expensive rackets and accessories and tons of stuff, but still play bad tennis.

Nik needs to start doing his videos in his shade outfit from now on.

When it comes to rackets I remember Goran getting disqualified in a match because he broke all 3 of his rackets and could not compete anymore.

Yup, backpack.

Hi Nick, back in the day I used to play with a Prince “Woodie” racquet. Do you remember them? Anyway I would leave them in my car not in a tennis bag and one time the temperature got so hot that both racquets warped. My question is, with the materials used in modern racquets , is it safe to keep my racquet in my bag in my car when I’m not playing for awhile? I know that they won’t warp; but, will the strings be compromised ? Living in a climate where the temperature can drop into the teens during the winter I may only play 3 times a week indoors and I keep my bag in the trunk. Thanks

There is so much I am learning about tennis. I never would have guessed it is more intimidating to dress like a babushka with a tennis bag, than it is to dress like Federer with a back pack.

I also pack a mosquito repellent, a wind-breaker & pants, face mask & hand sanitizer, and mobile phone & wallet. Funny about the backpack... it doesn’t protect the racquet grip from absorbing dirt & dust.

Coac Nic dissin on tennis backpackers! LOL

👍

Hi Nik, have you tried the vapor pro? Any idea if those shoes are any better than the shoes you use currently?

"In fact, I dont think i've ever loss to someone Who showed up on the court with a bagpack" (Nikola Aracic) That is my next personal goal 🤣

Do you use a pre-workout drink? I have more energy to run or play that lasts twice long if I have my preworkout drink.

Hi, i just saw a one of your backhand shorts and I want to ask you what do you think about kukushkin backhand, it looks like there is no tip spin at all on it

I ride my bike to the courts, can I still use my backpack? :)

I didn’t understand what you suggest for eating? Thanks!

I go by bike, how can I carry such a big bag on my bicycle.

The Intuitive Mummy Returns 👁‍🗨 🇪🇬 😂. POP Quizz: Backpacker vs Mummy, who wins? I say backpack 🎒

No wristband & headband? No shampoo & shower gel? Btw, your bag is just like Doraemon’s belly having many gadgets!😃

Yo wtf you say about a sip of coke

What is wrong with all the people here? Get out and play instead of watching videos then u guys will learn what u need on court. Nicola don't get me wrong here, I really like your videos, so keep it up.

Coke? Really? Can’t the electrolyte drink suffice? Also, for one match, I’m not going to bring a second pair of shoes. Takes up too much real estate.

I'm not interested in " looking cool " LoL

I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND I WANT TO LEARN TENNIS ,CAN I BECOME PRO ?? IS IT TOO LATE TO START ???

You're tall and slow
