Congrats to Meike. You will get 25 k subs soon. Since your first vid, now is a long journey. You videos are really qualitative and attractive, more your experience crytalize in them. Hope you will get 100 k sooner
Spot-on as always 💪. I was lucky enough to have a coach who focused on this. I had to practice with a cone balanced on my head. Not easy, but it got the message across! 😅
Three other tips : try to lean tour torso as few as you can (try to stay vertical) and try to maintain hips line as horizontal from preparation to the end of the stroke. Finally use the heels of your both feet.
Amen Meike, I tend to have to refocus on my split steps to re-center myself from time to time, it also helps refocus the eyes because of timing the split.
Great tip and great video. This is probably one of the most fundamentals a good player must have. Yet most recreational players do not spend enough focus rather spending on other techniques etc.
When we start unloading/unwinding, legs push off ground which in turn makes our head rises up. Anything wrong with that or should be paying attention to?
Totally booooogus. Racket head speed is key to insane power quoting and agreeing with the great Arthur Ash. Being totally connected to your racket as if welded to your hand not something you just drag along in a follow through coupled to some great wrist snap is what will propel that ball 110 miles plus on groundies. Stretch out your index finger on the racket handle lock it into place by wrapping you other fingers around the racket handle as tight as you can and just rip that ball. Grip it and rip it. The racket will go through the ball as if on a rail, racket face never too open never too closed, just right. In a fit of anger just trying to 'be balanced.... move my feet and all that......great advice..... , which never turned me into a ball blaster no mater how hard I tried, one day I just gripped it an ripped it. In an instant I over powered my coach a satellite tour player who never really made it to the main tour. As if in a quantum leap months in the making always 'mooving my feet and all that jazz, built up my frustration and got me over the hump to a great forehead. Since that day not only could i hang with my coach from the baseline, previously being the last in my class hitting groundies hooked me onto tennis like never before. If I don't have time to set up a practice session or match I just go to the local outside racket ball courts and blast against the wall, just to feel that ball digging into my string bed and launch at 110 miles or more towards the wall. I popped many a new tennis balls just blasting for an hour or so against the wall. That feeling of putting every ounce of energy in a swinging tennis racket with the feel of the ball digging into the strings and going exactly pinpointed to where I want it to go no matter the junk the backspin the topspin or just outright power the other player put on the ball is what makes tennis Fun.
@@MeikeBabelTennis i didn't mean to be dismissive of all the preparation and anchoring one's body to push against when accelerating the racket to 'supersonic' speed but if one doesn't generate racket head speed it is like anchoring a cannon to the ground and only loading a shell with half the gun powder behind the projectile. The motivation for good preparation comes naturally when one has the confidence hit hard not just over the fence. Just my two cents based on my experience of wrestling with the sport which unfortunately is losing popularity to pickleball of all things. Pickleball!?!?! Sorry if I offended you it wasn't my intention, also am working on my presentation to the world conference 😁

Currently the best online tennis coach.
Meike’s channel is great. She doesn’t use controversial or gimmicks to attract viewers.

Thanks a ton! I'm working on it! Please share my channel with your tennis friends

Thanks Meike!! Great content!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for the lessons!
Glad you like them!

I'm sharing this one with my team. thank you
That low base reminds me a lot of being an infielder in baseball. Makes total sense.
Excellent tips. Thank you Meike. I have a tendency to stand up during the point.
Super great video. Thanks so much
Great video. Thanks for this. Do you have some recommendations or links to good workouts for becoming a good mover with low base?
Actually stay tuned! I'm working on a collaboration with a really great program but we need to get all ducks in a row.
Great content!
I have a question: balance drills using the bosu ball are also good for this?
Nice video. Is this greenwood athletic center in the Denver area?
Mieke is the best
Thank you!
master class! 🙏
I appreciate that!

im going to work on this
Everyday is leg day on the tennis court!
Too good of a share -
someone changed to a vcore pro 97 :)
Are we gonna just ignore how many balls got past the coach?! She missed a lot of winners! 💯🤣
Can you imagine that could be her?

Must have missed your presentation at the last world conference. My bad.

Good grief, really?
Great stuff. I'm gay
