      I had a look at this practice set and the tennis looks pretty solid to me Karue, I like the short wide killer angles you go for often for which shows your skill level is pretty high and also wide down the lines, but just taking your time getting to it. not overcooking, but on your backhand slice, on low balls down near the ground you can't finish low on these or it just dumps half the time into the top of the tape when you drive it and doesn't quite get the clearance. To try to resolve that I switched to a low to high swing instead on that ball and that allows me to pronate the ball through the court instead of just digging it up out of the ground to try to skim it back as its known to hit short and weak or turn into sitters.

    Thanks again for putting together this channel and putting so much great tennis on UA-cam. It's been a big inspiration in terms of me getting back into the sport the last few years.
    I even got some friends together to get tickets to go spectate at a big tournament for the first time this year (indian wells). My buddy asked me if there were any players I would be excited to see and I realized I'd probably be more starstruck to spot Karue walking around than any of the top ten, haha. But it's true! I'm more invested in this channel and his journey than anything you see on the Netflix show.
    Anyway. Good game, well played, and thanks for helping bring my enthusiasm for tennis back after a long hiatus. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

  • @Mishabtw
    @Mishabtw 5 місяців тому +1

    Awesome practice set! Quick question: What do you think gives you the edge in a lot of the sets you play against these elite players?
    Just curious. You play a lot of really high level players and seem to edge it out most of the time in a relatively comfortable fashion. The sets always seem really even, but somehow you find a way to gain the upper hand so I know it isn't a coincidence. Do you focus on anything in particular?

    @infinitepossibilities337 5 місяців тому

    I know everyone has their equipment preferences, but I think Simon would benefit from a heavier swingweight on his racquet. You can tell his swingweight is lower than Karue's, and there's a difference in stability/weight of shot. Karue plays so smoothly and lets weight of the racquet plow through the ball while keeping the swing under control. Simon has great strokes but has to keep that racquet speed up so high with more effort to get the same effect. I know it's something that's not easy to adjust to, but I really think some lead at either 3+9, or at 12 like Karue uses could do Simon some good for some extra stability/smoother power. Especially at this level where the weight of shots you're returning is so high.

    • @MyTennisHQ
      @MyTennisHQ  5 місяців тому

      I tried copying Federer when i was young lol and for the most part I think platform is a more reliable movement for most people. Taller people may benefit more from pinpoint since they don’t have to go up so much. But overall I think platform is the better choice for amateurs and shorter players

      @@MyTennisHQ Thanks for the reply! When I first started playing tennis 2 years ago I just naturally started doing pinpoint(prolly from watching the pros) and honestly it just feels way more natural to me. I’ve tried platform and I feel awkward and off balance. I’m USTA 3.5 and I struggle with a consistency on the serve, when it’s on I get a lot of free points but some days it’s just off the rails(which we all know how frustrating that can be) and I was wondering if maybe the stance could be playing a part in that.

      @@MyTennisHQ Nice! I will be there March 4-6 with my new Tesla Cybertruck. If you’d like to try it or use it for a video or promo event (it catches a lot of attention because it’s so new/strange/rare and available only in North America), would be happy to support

    I feel like the difference here is basically 1600 guy's goal is to put the ball back because he is struggling with the pace. When Karue attacks, the guy is lost a bit. But that is the beginning
