Good point. I think a lot of players are afraid of using height with cross courts as they run the risk of hitting it out. They are great when they stay in, but annoying as hell when they just hit the line. I'm probably guilty as anyone and play about 1 or 2 a game😕

Exactly that! You would be amazed how small the error count would be if you continued to use height! Plus it’s such an easy way to hit your target! So effective

Please create a left handed video playlist I am also left handed and struggle on my fore hand side, think its because I use to play a lot of tennis when younger and can’t shorten my swing

I feel stronger on my back hand, but really struggle on my left side, also seem to drag the ball mid court,

this is brilliant. You are echoing what my (very experienced) coach has told me .. hearing this from TWO coaches can only help me so thank you. Of course it is completely correct and it does work. Smash and dash belongs in the trash!!

Well I’m glad another coach agrees!!! 💪

Thanks this is a great series. I feel the biggest limitation for rec players like myself is the swing. Everything else is just a byproduct of it. For eg if I swing with my arm and I'm playing against someone who has a proper swing, I simply don't have the chance to "keep it tight", "push up the T" or "take the volley" as it takes me too much time and energy to get in and out of every shot. I feel like this is too obvious for coaches and pros to point out, but rec players sometimes tend to think it's a free choice on their end instead of their opponent's doing.

It’s a great point and one that I tell my lessons every day! The swing is the easy part and the end product of a good setup and position at the ball! Glad you’re enjoying the series! There will be more coming!!! 💪

Thanks for the video! Interesting topic.I think I've always tried to play high cross court shots but I haven't maybe thought about the position on the front wall that I should be aiming for, so I will keep that in mind. Moreover, I feel it's mentally challenging because obviously if you go for height the risk is hitting the ball too high and out, and if you don't get enough height (and width) the risk is you may give your opponent an opportunity to attack with a volley.

So that’s a really interesting point and that’s when the technique comes into how you play that shot if you work on getting into a good position at the ball (getting lower) you can then swing through like any other shot and you have so much more feel! Most people don’t get low enough and flick the lobs so subsequently don’t have anywhere near as much feel! Hence the error count is high

@@curtiscorbysquash right, thanks, that’s interesting because I’m tall and I know I don’t get low enough in general in my technique, it’s something I’ve started working on though. More things to keep in mind!

That was very helpful. Subscribed. I made the same mistake today, and I noticed that we I accidentally use height, it forced more errors from my opponents.

Thanks for subbing! Glad you find this helpful! Such an easy and effective way to get errors out of your opponent

I would go further .. many amateurs are afraid of taking the high volley, forehand or backhand. It often surprises me when I play a lift, how many players wait for the ball to land; as you point out, if I have judged the shot well, they are disadvantaging themselves by waiting - some players (tennis players?) take everything early no matter what and they are more of a problem because they immediately bring urgency back to the rally when I am trying to slow it down .. thankfully they are in the minority!

A high volley is a shot the amateurs don’t play often enough! This is actually an area I will be covering soon!!! 💪
