My name is Nicholas Bennett and I am a USPTA Elite Professional with over 15 years of experience coaching both juniors and adults. I created this page for both parents and coaches. In these instructional videos, I will cover a variety of topics for all the major strokes including forehands, backhands, serves, and more.
In addition to teaching players, parents and coaches about the technical aspect of tennis, I will also be creating tennis-specific workout videos. This will include demos on different exercises. I am big in to using resistance bands for tennis players due to their price point, mobility and functionality.
We believe in growing the game of tennis. We hope that you will find this page meaningful and help you become a better coach and player.

How to do a row with resistance bands [3 Variations!]
Game changer!
That machine produces way too much top spin.
I hit beautiful one handers in my drills but mess up when switching from forehand ie semiwestern to the eastern backhand during a rally. It seems to me higher the contact point, more extreme should be my backhand grip?
What software is this? Thanks
Hello from Rome Italy, i'm searching on You Tube a video about how to hit smashes with Slinger Bag, but it seems that nobody is interested in showing how it works about it. I found just one video with a girl smashing and the lobs of Slinger seem pretty low. Thanks anyway and Greetings from Rome Italy
I love the Slinger bag but you must do the following to really enjoy it. For the ball feeding from the Slinger machine to not get stuck I applied the "Professional-Grade Moldable Plastic Pellets by Polly Plastics" from amazon. I applied it on top of the rotating cross panel. I shaped the mold to have four vertically crossed mold then placed it on top of the crossed panel and have placed a glue to adhere permanently. This will help fix the issue of the ball sometimes not launching and instead will keep a regular steady feed flow. On the dial section for adjusting the ball height from the launch pad I applied a white "Fine Paint Marker for Rock Painting-Stone, Ceramic, Metal, Glass, Wood,Set of 6 Paint Pens High Volume Ink High Volume Ink for DIY Craft" from Amazon. I applied the white marker on the etched black line marker for better visibility, even from a distance. On the opening of the bag from the top entrance to place the racket I placed an elastic fiber string crosswise (made two holes on each side with a heated pointy metal) and that is where I hang my towel. There's more but this is enough for now. Thanks for letting me share.
This video was very informative and I hope that more people will watch this and keep the content going!!!❤❤
First comment

Is there a drill for poaching cross court returns?
I can come up with one
Thanks NIck. Great video. I'm going to seriously think about getting one for myself and my son.
Great Vid!
Please make some more drills about backhand slice or forehand/backhand
Check out my out the videos below I have made. Let me know if this is what you are looking for ua-cam.com/video/c9q2crgXkeE/v-deo.html (When you should slice a backhand) ua-cam.com/video/hFMYKB0egG0/v-deo.html
Great videos with slingerbag please Nick tell us the settings (angle of slingerbag feed ratio speed etc)!Make more videos with drills are great

Please make a video with drills with slingerbag (smash/forehand and backhand for beginners
overhead smash? and High backhand?
Dang, so it went up over $100 in a year? Typical.
Yeah it did. I was lucky to have been able to get one at that price.
Fantastic tip! Been having issues with swing being erratic and feeling weak. I was just hitting using my arm. I started keeping my non dominant arm almost parallel with my hitting arm as I swing as seen by the gentleman in your video. By doing that I feel like I’m swinging with both arms allowing my shoulders to rotate. My swing is more consistent, stable and even stronger now. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking time to watch and comment. I am glad that it helped!
What tip did you find most helpful?
Great video!!
Thanks Alex!
Massive respect for responding to all comments! Great video too.
Thank you so much for taking time to watch the video and comment! Much appreciated.
What did take away from this video?
What drill did you find most helpful?
Which drill out of my Top 5 (groundstrokes) did you like the best?
Love the combination of Slinger and Great Base concepts!!!
Never heard of using helium balloon for height thats creative!
Love Steve Smith. I know you finished his class as well. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Legend love your content I emailed him because I love the drills
Thank you so much!
what camera and microphone do you use ?

Dankeschön für die Tipps sende ich dir aus Deutschland Bitte weiter solch guten Job machen
My Sister-In-Law is from koln! Thank you for taking time to watch! I appreciate it!
Most professional instructor out there!
Thank you Alex!! Glad you liked the vehicle
I think you have to make the slinger bag your own
Many owners find it challenging to use this bag. it is important to know that the settings for me may not work for others because of their level of play.
@@MatchPointTennis. I know. Just kidding with ya. The topspin is kinda too much even when you adjust all different ways.
I figured you were :). It can be. I think overall it is a great machine for the price. Hopefully they will make adjustments when a newer model comes out. I know they have a pickleball and now Padel machine.
Thank you for taking time to watch the video. I hope it did help.
@@MatchPointTennis Yes and another thing I notice that helps off set the topspin on higher speeds is to stand a little further back and hit the ball as it drops.
good video always trying to work on my volleys with my slinder bag good drills.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad that it helped
Did you find this type helpful? Leave a comment below
Will be adding these to my warm-ups!
Your shoulders will thank you for it!
Thank you for the video. By the way, I teach at Robinson so it was a shock to notice the courts. Small world.
I have had a few people mention that to me. I teach at Flint Hill (math). I live near Robinson.
good review....i can't believe how much they have bumped up the price....you said you bought it for $550....it is now selling for 750 ($800 with taxes) :((
I checked their site. Looks like the price increased (base model) by $100. I bought the Grand Slam package. I think I paid under $700 for it. Prices are up on everything it seems. Thank you for taking time to watch my video.
What tip did you find most helpful? Leave a comment below.
Awesome review, thank you for the great video! Inspired me to get one and get back out on the court with drills
Thank you Brandon! Happy hitting!
For the shoulder press, which tip did you find most helpful?
Nice review. My tennis coach has one so I'm going to get one as well. I think a good point you made is it is a very durable product. It's rather expensive but I haven't seen anything comparable.
Thanks for watching! I think for coaches it is a great investment. Players can get great use out of it as well.
Oh wow this was a great video, I just happened to click on it!
Thank you Nathan, I appreciate that!
Good info. Ty, I have a quick question, maybe you can be help, for my forehand, my wrist does not engage with tennis racket when I start hitting in the beginning. I have no support in my wrist, feels weird. But after about 5-10 mins of hitting, my wrist gets fully engage with racket and I can hit fully with my power.. any ideas?
The wrist should be fixed at contact. What grip do you use on your forehand? Eastern? You want to make sure if you use Eastern grip, keep your palm going toward target
Superb!! Tip no. 2 I think will work best for me. Thanks a lot for that and more power!
Thank you for the comment and for watching the video! Tip 2 def helps!
I subbed! Great channel 👍
Thank you!!
Nice video drill. Thanks.
Thank you Will! Which drill did you like most?
Which strategy did you find most helpful?
You said the feed setting is 15. Wouldn't it be 11?
Yes it should be 11. Good catch. I’m going to try 15 next time to see what that looks like. Thanks for the feedback!
Which Drill do you like the most?
I hit mostly flat but these are must do’s for topspin
I hit flatter than I would like. I am working more on tip 3 in my stroke. Thank you for the comment !
Good work, these are great tips. I like the idea of utilizing gravity on the racquet drop! Keep up the good work!
Thank you John! I think the big one for me in keep the racquet head up. It's one that I see all the time.
Controlling depth and spin are my biggest problems!
They are closely related. Will we be doing one on spin very soon!
Good tips for the practice session!
Glad it was helpful!
Very well done video. I’ll use this to help explain the FH to my wife.
JOHN!!!!! I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much!
Great video
Thank you Patrick. Great Cameo!
