"but again, i'm a pro" hahahaha you're awesome, best tennis channel ever!

You're a phenomenal teacher Karue 👍 I love how clearly you can express the details and ideas from your extensive tennis knowledge. I'm sure the algorithm will treat you well with these groundstroke lessons

This is such an important lesson for amateurs trying to improve consistency. It forces you to slow down and have control so you can speed up once you get the fundamentals right. Thanks Karue!

Best way to wake up is with a new tennis hq video

this series has genuinely helped me so much, but another thing i still need to work on is footwork and how to prepare for a shot. if you could make a video about that, that would be so helpful! thanks so much

Great tip! I always tell my students when they’re getting carried away, 70-80% is better than 110%.

I'm glad I do the things you said naturally, just because it felt smooth, and I got quality balls. The tips I got from coaches were mostly on other areas, serve, volley, and return of serve. My foot work also came naturally, so I didn't get many corrections there. I think playing soccer helps. Your feet are constantly moving taking many steps, to try to get in the best position.

This is literally everything that is wrong with my forehand groundstrokes. Went and practiced my forehand with getting as much time with the ball on the strings and was amazed the difference it made, especially accuracy. Great lesson.

You know us so well, my friend. These were very helpful vids. Focusing on slowing my upper body way down but keeping the lower body aggressive helped a lot. And the overthinking of the stroke...a disease. You're providing a good service here. Keep up the excellent work.

Excelent advices! Congratiulation! Excelent tennis channel! The quality of information is very high and very well explained! Good job, man. Keep it that way! Waiting for your next video! A big fan from Roumania!

I very much like that you summarized the key take-aways from each lesson at the end of the respective video. That really helps remember the points you mentioned and facilitates trying them out on the court; thanks a lot!

Great series Karue! I really appreciate that you emphasize that what is happening at contact is the most important part of the swing. I would like to see that part broken down even more and talking about things like racket head angle, extension through contact, and the effect of different swing planes or how a shallow versus steep low to high swing compares.

I just have found your channel. I really like your teaching, full of tips. I am not so young (I started playing with those heavy wood rackets) and I am discovering that the core of the playing is still the same of my youth: Keeping the pace, the mind, and the ball in playing, Thank you very much for the videos. Cheers from Argentina

Amazing! really love this series. Helped me really hit my rally ball during match play. One thing I would say for folks try to control your breathing. Really helped me calm down during match play

I coach high school tennis and I really like this channel. The format is very engaging and the instruction is excellent. Karue really makes everything clear and easy to apply.

Katie you have made this so easy for me to understand. I’ve watched so many videos and they just overwhelmed me or didn’t understand. And I see some mistakes even I make right now and will definitely try to fix on the court.

Was waiting for this!! Thank you!!!

I'm so glad i found you!!! Everything makes sense, all the mistakes you mentioned in all 3 parts i made. Thanks

Great video Karue !!! Love your perspective on things 👍

Great videos, Karue! The way you explain these things is very clear for me to understand and helps a lot!

Loved these top 3 tips. They are.... on the ball! ;) Amazing!!!

Karue, your content is very engaging and thoughtful, these particular videos are useful for me. Keep up your great work and sharing your passion.

Just found your channel. Loved the 3 part series on groundstroke consistency. Gotta say you identified exactly my three ongoing problems-backing up, preoccupation with racket speed, overthinking racket swing. Great stuff. Hope it works.

These videos have helped me so much!!! Thank you

Just getting back into the sport, recent subscriber. I watched all 3 parts. Love your channel and your work, thank you 🙏

I have the EXACT problems you are addressing here & the other 2 parts of the series. Thank you so much! I think i will improve now

Thanks Karue! I’ve been focused on depth over topspin ever since I found your channel. It’s been so helpful in my match results for both singles and doubles 😎

Good content. I'm looking forward to see how this channel progresses. Good tips so far for an amateur like myself.

Thanks for the video - Really helpful tips!

Dude this has hampered my game bigtime! The way you broke it down was brilliant...Appreciate you dude

Thank you very much for these tips! Hope they can help me get to the next level 🙏🏽

Wow, really breaking through some things I had totally misunderstood. Thanks very much, great vid

so good brother,,thank you for the great series

I hit with power & heavy top spin. Biggest leap I ever made was learning how to control my depth better. Once again you've provided A++++ content.

brilliant serie, thanks for sharing

Fantastic video man, so helpful, thank you!

This is extremely helpful! Thanks mytennishq

Thanks Sir. Best advice I ever get watching Part 1, 2 and 3.

Really helped change the dynamic of my forehand on a previous video. This video very helpful too, thanks bro!

I love playing people who play with heaps of spin, gives me plenty of time to catch up to balls that are landing short, even if they are dominating the rally and I’m defending for my life, as soon as they let me off the hook with that one shot it allows me to take control. I find it much harder when they play with more pace but less spin because it comes on to me and harder to not hit it long

Great video! I actually do a lot of mistakes described in video and will try to use your tips to work on consistency

thanks for the helpful videos Mark

Thanks again for the teaching. I wi definitely try t improve my strokes. Looking forward more videos.

Love it. Your a great help. Regards from Lithuania.

Great lesson Man! Glad that i found your channel! Subscribed

Indeed, really helpful advice. It’s these basics that help me improve my game. On this cheerful note: any chance you could create a video/series on serving? Half of the time it’s the first stroke of the game and I would love to see an in depth tutorial about how to improve my serve. Ty and keep up the good work.

LOL you're talking about me 100%. I am also prone to more mishits by doing excessive topspin. Because my shots kept landing short, it was easy for my opponents to go even more aggressive. I've watched parts 1-3 a second time and I think my game is now closer to what you've been advising. Thanks, brother!

I feel like this should be the first lesson anyone ever gets in tennis… at beginner levels coaches alway push topspin but it’s not the most important thing… smooth strokes with good contact and consistent depth is the base of any good stroke the topspin just another level on top the base stroke. 5 years in my tennis journey and I am only fully getting to grips with this understanding of how tennis stokes fundamentally should work.

Great stuff!!! Keep it up!!!!

Awesome! That backhand reminds me of Nalbandian. The best.

Thank you Karue, please keep this channel going!

Great tips as always Karue!

Your videos are incredible!! Best tennis youtuber BY FAR

nice explanations...very helpful thank you:)

Great video ! cheers

The last couple of weeks I've really been working more on my forehand, and know that mentally, I've been trying to increase speed of my racquet and shorten stroke. So, I'll relax and extend a bit per your instructions. Thanks!

Great tips. Thanks

like his calm voice and tone.

Great explanation!

this video really helped!!! when i record my forehand on the court my racket after it hit the ball always go alot up and way toooo less into the ball, this video really brought my attention to this problem and yeah thanks for your help!

awesome video!!! Spot on. It happens to me a lot. Too many jerky moves and too much spin exageration. Thanks man.

This is logical but I needed to hear it for some reason, I really like this guy

Mate these videos are unreall!! Have you done one about how far to stand behind the baseline against different players?

Nice advices!

great content! cant believe this is all free :D Thank you Carue! You're helping me hit better for sure and we never met :)

Love this video. My coach back in high school told me to focus on producing topspin so it's hard for the opponent to return. I was a true beginner then and I guess it works fine on lower levels but I kinda developed this bad habit of producing too much topspin whenever I wanted it or not. It's like how you put it: trying to run before having learned how to walk.

Awesome! Thank you

Great advice!

Good insights. Much appreciated.

Great video love it

I think the best advice was: "Don't overthink it." I find myself all too often trying to breakdown my swing into too many distinct steps. Be fluid instead! Thanks for the great tutorial!

This channel needs more subs for sure

Great stuff - thanks

Very good videos, my son and me enjoy watching your videos

I know this video is like 2 years old, but THANK YOU for confirming the wrist thing as a pro player! Too many KZfaq channels have spread the misinformation about wrist usage. I see it more as BEING USED than the player actively USING it. Low-level friends I play with occasionally keep saying, "I just need more wrist action!" Lol

Another great video. Can you give me some tips on racket face open at contact? I’m sure I’m not the only one here having this problem. Thanks 🙏👍

Hello: I break it down for my students in the x-y-z plane system. We want to provide and drive into the target ( + x plane), but to rise over the net, the player needs a (+ y) vertical plane force. The excessive amount of “topspin generation” generally results in a pullover into the z plane- away from the target line ( transverse plane = rotation). We want to minimize the amount of z plane input. The type of shot, penetrating through the court or a high arc shot - will depend on the ration of x/y, each shot requiring a bit of each. Love your content, I use it constantly.

Tomaz (Feel Tennis) talks about not “firing” your shots, like shooting a gun, where everything happens all at once - BANG! Instead, think about “swinging”, like heaving a heavy garbage bag over the fence (and into your neighbour’s yard!). Preparing early helps eliminate that rushed feeling that causes us to take a herky-jerky, last-minute SWIPE at the ball, like we’re trying to swat mosquitos, instead of a pro bowler delivering the perfect strike: he takes a few quick steps up to the line, letting the ball slowly rock back, then swing forward, accelerating, delivering the ball and finishing with his hand held high. Not unlike a good forehand, no? If you don’t have at least your unit turn completed by the time the ball bounces, you’re late. Patrick Mouratoglou even preaches moving towards the ball only AFTER you’ve finished your unit turn. And it’s so easy, all you have to decide is left or right, forehand or backhand, it only takes milliseconds. After that, the rest is so much easier. But you DO have to make that funny little “vroom vroom” sound that Tomaz makes when sweeping an imaginary broom to simulate gradual acceleration. Hey brothers and sisters, to get better at tennis, you gotta check your pride at the door...

Top tips!

good points!

Great video and awesome tips but a quick request. Could you do a video about taking the ball on the rise from your experience as a pro i.e. when to do it and tips for doing it. Thanks!

Rustic Park! I love it. Great lesson too.

Good video! Do you have any tips or drills/exercises to help players develop the feel of using the correct sequence of muscles and joints to develop a fluid swing, especially for players who muscle the ball and to stop breaking the wrist?

Yo, thank you so much for these series! I really feel major improvements in my groundstrokes after using all the tips. Can you also do serves, returns, and volleys in this format too?

Here's my comment! I think this is exactly what I needed, thank you!

great advice

Great video!!! Once you undersrand the concept, but you are so used to that fast wrist motion, how can you practice the entire body move to improve your strokes?

Hey man, just saw this video and loved it. you got a new subscriber..

Yo, love what you’re doing Karue! The format of playing at such a high yet controlled level, whilst simultaneously commentating is really great and quite rare. I think you could do with a little higher pace in the videos though. Sometimes it comes out a bit slow and repetitive. But keep up the good work!

Adrian Court would approve of your advice given in your series of 3 videos. (He's head coach at Edgemont Athletic in Calgary). He coaches with this philosophy too.

I wish I found this series years ago, literally game changing

Amazing!!

awesome stuff...

This has been an incredible series... exactly what I needed and perfect timing. I've already shared this series with a dozen people. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more.

THE BEST COACHH!!!!!!!!!

thanks a lot

Hi Karue, nice video as usual . May I ask if you flick the wrist at the moment of contact or you will imagine you are hitting at the top of the ball to drive it ( instead of hitting from low to high to creat top spin ). Thank you.😊

"I'm a PRO, I can do this."😂 Karue what string and tension you got in that VC95? I'm loving my 2021 vc95, everyone who tries my racquet gives compliments about it.

Awesome video. I fall into this trap of too much racquet head speed all the time.
