Why doesn’t the club I go to coach like this. Like so involved and breaking everything down in a clearer way verses just a bucket of balls. This is great!

@InfiniteQuest86 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I think some people are going to miss the point because they struggle so much with getting topspin to begin with. This is such a great lesson. He probably went from a great rally baller, very consistent to being able to control points and move his opponent around much more aggressively after this lesson. I'm in a similar situation. When I try to win points and really drive the ball, it actually goes slower because I'm adding spin and loop to it which gives the opponent more time. When I try to flatten out, I'm hitting it into the net. Everything in this sport is such a journey, and I've made some strides this year towards improving it. And to reiterate, he's not hitting flat with no topspin by the end, he's just driving the ball into the court better with topspin still. He's adding a tool to his arsenal, not removing one.

Yup, you hit the nail on the head, Infinite. Most people struggle hitting a heavy ball but Phil was "over spinning" his forehand chronically. He had no way to finish points with his forehand because everything was curving heavily and sitting up. Hope this video was helpful!

I can feel the pull of my hand extending through the racquet head. On a heavy topspins I feel it at 9 o’clock on the frame at the start of the forward swing and at the 2 o’clock at contact. On a flat shot it is at 2 o’clock on both shots. Federer is great because he changes those 2 o’clocks to 12s.

@yurygrossmanart Жыл бұрын

From what I noticed, he was meeting the ball not at the highest point and racket drop was together with ball going down. That also caused his shoulder to go down rather than rotate. So I believe the spin motion is by design is less powerfull as we rotate shoulders more up and down, while rotation back and front gives more power. So I believe when we rotate our body and shoulders, our hand becomes a function of that move.

@sl9081 2 ай бұрын

Great video, this is something I am trying to improve on atm, probably helpful to add that the player is in a good semi-open stance to open up the swing. At the end he could probably benefit from shifting his weight forward - I don't do this well and tire out my arms as a result!

Just noticed something I thought was interesting from the Federer clips in this video. It appears that the butt end of his racquet is at about the same level as the ball just before he turns and makes contact with the ball. Is this a technique rec players and use to get more consistency?

Wow! Great work everybody! 2 questions. 1. Why didn't you guys try to move his grip more towards an eastern(ish)? 2. Maybe I missed this, but if we are looking to hit a flatter ball, should't he be trying to reach his swing out (more forward) before it starts rising to follow through? Making it longer and flatter (spending more time in a narrow tunnel of space). Hope that question made sense, thanks!
