- Alright champions, allow me to give you some recreational, intermediate and possibly some advanced tips on how to hit the ball down the line. First thing you really want to understand is when you hit the ball down the line you cannot afford to have your chest open. You might get away with a crosscourt forehand when your chest is open, but when you hit the ball down the line your chest needs to be to sideways you need to be side on to the ball before you hit it. Step number two, extremely important is to keep your head still you got to understand when you lift up your head, everything else works together the kinetic chain of the body works together. So what's going to happen is as your head lifts, your left shoulder will open up and the racket will open up and you will not be able to hit the ball down the line. Keep your head still and stay sideways. What's also very important is for you to have a long follow through you want to act like you're hitting seven balls. Have your palm, contact the ball and have your palm contact seven balls in your mind. Swing long way forward. That's the only way you're going to get the ball down the line. What's also very important is to make sure you're moving quick enough so that you are able to step closed stance to the ball. It's very advanced and very hard to hit the ball down the line, when you're playing open stance. Make sure if you want to make it as easy as possible on the down the line shot to have your body closed and to step in closed stance. Good luck, guys on your down the line shots.

this is solid advice. I especially like the advice of hitting thru 7 balls. I see so many coaches on UA-cam advocating for "lag and snap" and many interpret that to be a wrist snap and this video is far superior. Even when you you going for more spin, you want to avoid active wrist movement. Swing path determines spin and to a lesser extent the angle of the racket face. Great video.
Anytime 🙏
Interesting. People say "lift the ball", "full extension" etc, but this could be another good way to make students realize the mechanics.
✅🔥🔥
Thank you so much. It definitely works!!
Boom 💥
Great tip Pieter, very instructive. Next video could you please give detail on the service slice/kick/flat. where to toss, where to hit the ball, position of the wrist... think about lefties too
Sounds good 👍
excellent tips- as I am hitting wide almost certainly not getting side on
When is it best to change direction from cross court to down the line
This depends on your confidence. I like to say 70% crosscourt 30% down the line. But this depends on a lot of things. You confidence, your opponent, your game plan etc..
Great lesson and properly explained. Thanks
Thank you for the instruction. Everything was very clear and to the point. I will definitely work on these my next workout
Awesome let me know how it goes✅✅✅🔥

You're welcome!
Very useful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Wow thank you so. Much
My pleasure
Very nice tips...I was aware of the closed stance at my level but the 7 ball tactic I need to try. I'm curious though....how to hit down the line with open stance....very useful if dealing with fast ball or slightly late?
Yes down the line open stance works well on deep ball, fast ball or wide ball. Will make video shortly ✅✅
Yes, hit through 7 balls but don’t forget the 7th ball is higher than the first. Otherwise you’ll send all of the 7 into the net like me! 😀
Agreed ✅✅
