Been playing for 10 years and have never considered the effect my dominant eye had on my footwork. Have since changed and my consistency in my ball striking has significantly improved. Thank you so much!

I'm a lefty with left dominant eye. Your video about this topic helped me a lot with insight why my single handed backhand is Beter then my forehand (if i take a closed stance). I'm now focusing on open stance forehand so i can see the court much better. Thank you for your content that your putting on KZfaq. It helped me a lot with my tennis game.

The truth is, you have to practice both legs endings, one for defence, other for attack

That’s what I love about your videos P, always having me see things from a new perspective. (Pun intended). Bless ♥️ 🎾

Great Patrick! It's helping me too much! Good Luck in the Roland Garros! Thanks!

"It’s almost impossible". The "almost" is because Roger does it hahaha.

Ocular eye dominance is a function of the horizontal gaze angle. The static concept of eye dominance is flawed, being based on the limited results of sighting with gaze pointed straight ahead. In a reach-grasp task for targets within the binocular visual field, subjects switched between left and right eye dominance depending on horizontal gaze angle. On average, ocular dominance switched at gaze angles of only 15.5° off center. See: A.Z. Khan, J. D. Crawford, Vision Research, Vol 41, Issue 14, June 2001, pages 1743-48.

Thank you, it all makes sense and I will try to put this into my footwork.

Great !!!! I'm right eye dominant.. 100% agree

Get Ahead in Tennis with Killer Volley Techniques. Great Video! Thanks for sharing this one.

After watching your previous video on the dominant eye, was quite perplexed how to prepare to hit my one handed back hand as I am left dominant. Thanks a lot for this follow up.

This a fantastic video. Thanks for posting

I’ve NEVER seen ANY professional tennis player with a one handed backhand intently hit the stroke off the back leg.

thank you so much for sharing these tips❤ i hope that comes out a similar video about the forehand because i have so much trouble doing it😅 im right handed and right eye dominant wish u good luck in Roland Garros🎉

Thank you, Patrick! Only have one eye, but your instruction is so helpful

So crazy ... I guess his head must face where his leg is facing while most of the rest of us have a neck to make adjustments

The problem of semi-open stance is that you can generate power only on paced balls. Low paced moonballs need a closed stance. From my experience.

this is amazing, my kid is likely left dominant, gonna test that and see.

I'm right handed with left eye dominant and I always felt I would lose power on random times hitting a backhand.. now I understand having to face the ball more instead of to the side

Does this apply to two handed backhand as well?

I have a question how do u find out which eye dominant are you when u play?

Okay, this tennis backhand tutorial is great and all, but I tried it and ended up hitting the ball into a different zip code! Time to call NASA, I'm serving for space exploration now! 🚀🎾 😄

Jedi hit with third eye dominant. they don't even need a racquet.

Wonderfull 👌🎾😍

How do you know your dominant 👀

Good 👍

Watching this video makes me want to become a tennis ball. They get all the attention, and they don't even have to do anything! 🎾😅

I'm right eye dominant but left handed

How do you know which eye is dominant?

Which eye is dominant for me? How to understand?

👏🏼👏🏽🔥

i am right eye dominant and i have big issues to see the ball, i amfeeling that i am blind when i hit the backhand

So I'm left. Should I stand on my left leg when I'm right eyed dominant?

Thank you. What about if your left handed?

So Patrick, I've been learned to switch while I was young from a one handed BH to a double handed BH. I play on an advanced level, but I do make most errors on my BH as it is the weakest stroke, and must be practiced most at the beginning of the season.. my FH on the otherhand is incredibly good, but probably because my BH is less.. I use to slice my BH often.. now.. I found out my dominant eye is the right one and I am a right handed player.. as in practice I have more feel with a one handed BH, but don't dare to use it in a match.. would it be advised to switch to a one handed BH and practice it to improve for the match? I am 43 yrs old but still play for 20 yrs on a 5.5 - 6.0 level. Btw, I use sometimes a one handed BH after the bounce or as a reflex, so must mean something..

I want know my dominant eye , how can i do ?.?.

So how dows this work if you’re left handed but right eye? Is it just the opposite of what you described?? Plant on right foot, open??

My eyes are ambidextrous

How do I know what's my dominant eye

@Patrickmouratoglou which eye dominance are you

He is big on eye dominance on his coaching videos. I see his logic on this but I suspect it may not apply to everyone

I have 3 eyes

What if i'm lefty w right eye dominant?

poderia passar as legendas também em Português

How does this translate to left players?

Énorme

Does federer do this?

Your dominant eye must face the coming ball, you don't have to see the court, you must not look at the net either, you have to keep your dominant eye facing the coming ball. Show me an example of federer left eye dominant landing on his left foot open stance. It's not a question of landing, left leg first and body transfer to the right leg, this is fundanental for handling fast balls. One handed backhand with open stance? Ok only if you are Wawrinka or Thiem

Left/Right eye dominant. WTF!?!

You miss one important thing : the dominant leg

I'm leftie with right eye dominance - should I be landing on my right foot then?

i have another hitting style that doesn't care about dominant eyes

Not buying the left eye right dominant stuff. Good Footwork is just good footwork

how do we know which one is our dominant eye

How do you check which eye your dominant in?

My name is patrick to

Does this apply to two-handed too?

I know the importance of dominant eye scientifically. However, isn't hitting the ball in open stance against nature of one-handed backhand??? I mean it is a bit of controversial in terms of pros and cons , I think????

I dont know how you going to learn thinking about all this angles, position, which feet, where your head, etc.. this is why coaches lost a lot of willing people to learn..

This makes no sense almost every top level pro hits their backhand while looking at the strings. On the forehand however most pros hit while looking at the court while Fed and a small few are still looking at the strings.

Dommage que ce ne soit pas en français

The best one handed backhand Is Roger Federer. Look where is his right foot at the point of contact.

I initially have a single backhander and now use for the most part a two hander because I have to get to the "place" a lot earlier to hit a good shot with the single hand. With two hander, I can get their late and still hit a really good backhander. My return of serves with my 2 hander is way better then the single hander; that's why I "moved on" with my 2 hander.

If someone is left handed then

Roger Federer is left/eye dominant but still steps in front with his right leg…

Is this video just for an,,elite“.? For me is useless. I don’t know if I’m left or right eye dominant. Until I’ll find out, sorry…

Even without the ball, only from his movement, you can tell he is bad at tennis :D

Ridiculous

disagreed , with that stance you cant hit a good shot it takes too much time ,mr Moratoglu has a thing for the dominant eye , but no one uses that footwork all 1bh players use semiclosed stance if they have enough time , moreover with feet in that position having clean contact point in front is a lot more difficult.
