Smashed hard bruh

i will smash it on the backhand side of the oponent.

is this at South Bay Tennis Center in Torrance?

​@@IGNSanitydefinitely is lol

Well done you tested LMNT Electrolytes - i commented on one of your videos recently to try it, how did you find it and also by looking at the ingrediants - how good its it , any other brands you recommend over this = as im curious n looking to improve

thank you for the kind words! Glad the content is resonating with people

Same

Yes

Agreed ....tees with tennis slogans: Bullshit Russian, You're a little kid who doesn't know how to fight can really take off.

Id buy

Yup!!

true, but if your offensive shot makes you have another easy ball then don't be afraid to do offensive, otherwise you would lose a chance to attack.

if Karue could come with to film and coach that could be a good video idea

Definitely down

Great! I predict that would be a hit video. That would also allow Karue to evaluate other aspects of Winston game, such as the mental component. Looking forward to it!

Go for it!@@WinstonDu

I’m in the UK so we don’t have NTRP. However, Winston seems like a pretty strong 4.5 to me, at least on his ground strokes. Has he played at a higher level in the past?

great idea

I think getting into that becomes just "engineering". Tennis is fluid. It is impossible to define what is the ball you are going to hit, because there are just endless opportunities of the shots you are going to receive. Point constructions depends on your opponent. Is he heavy? Can he run and hit well angled ball that make him come up instead of only staying side to side? Is he consistent or does he rush shots going for difficult winners? Is he a "pusher"? IMO point construction can't really be thaught in an obvjective manner. You need awareness on what are your opponent weaknesses, on how your balls are impacting your opponent and with that info create a gameplan that can benefit from that information. It is WAY easier said than done. Or you could spend all day with Wardlaw Directionals, and live with that. The key point? Fitness. If you are able to improve your fitness, you will be in a better position every single time. We tend to overlook stuff and trying to dig into complex things when correcting the simple and basic usually is the answer.

It’s really not as deep as the guy above is making it. Especially at the rec level. It’s basically having “plays” or sequences in your head that you initiate when you get certain balls. I almost exclusively hit neutral balls until I can roll a deep top spin ball DTL to the backhand. That will usually illicit a shorter ball at which point my “play” starts. Should they go back down the line then short angle crosscourt , finish volley if they manage to get to it. If they send a weak ball back from a poor backhand I drop shot only because it’s my specialty but you play to your strengths at that point. But like Karue says, it’s about the ball that’s coming to you so it doesn’t always work. I may not get the short ball. I may not hit a great angle crosscourt. If it doesn’t go as planned you reset the point hitting neutral until you can restart the sequence. The lower the player level the less amount of plays you should have in your head. 1-2 max at 3.5-4.0 and you’ll win more matches simply because you take the indecision out of your game. Obviously more options when you’re 4.5 and up. You’ll have plenty of chances outside of your “play” to end points but that’s based off your opponent’s mistakes that you didn’t force. Those again are a matter of court position (both of you) and what your strong suits are. Watch Iga and you’ll see how few plays she runs which is by her coaches design. She was too indecisive so he removed drop shots entirely from her game and only recently encouraged more volleys. Check out the MTHQ video for this same sequence. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8lkaKuq38-niGg.html

Wow i am going to try this now.

This is called breaking up the rythm of your opponent. Can also be done with the serve. In general you can change speed, angle, height, and rotation of your ball to keep your opponent on his toes.

Love what he is doing for us mere mortals

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiim

nope. There is no hack. You need to do this every time you are on court until it becomes completely second nature

That really shouldn't matter. We all get the ball to certain areas on the court differently. Doesn't matter how it looks.

Not sure where looks come in when talking about stances/swings. Closed stance for offensive when the ball lands short and low to high swing for open are fundamental.

Before people run they must learn to walk. Stances matter a lot but most players have no clue what they want to do with the ball until basically they make contact with the ball. How once hits aggressive vs defensive vs neutral also depends on player. We can’t cover everything in a 15 min video

@@sbgtrev Ya...for example Agassi may hit an angle with a neutral stance and Djokovic may use a semi open. And the style of their forehand takeaways are different but they may hit the ball in the exact same spot. That's why it is different for every player.
