Insane that Marcos is literally pummeling the ball and Karue is still able to counterpunch so many of those so nice and deep. Shows how razor thin the margins are up top in the ATP.
Best video yet.. as a lower level player who doesn't get any real coaching aside from UA-cam videos love hearing those comments like "tight spin".. Marcos looks insanely good here (so does Karue, of course)
It’s hard not to see how much ground force Marcos gets into each shot. Guys got great technique. Looks like he’s playing with the medicine ball every point.
in practice players tend to play much more aggressively than matches. In matches, players start to make a balance between risky shots vs trying to keep the ball in playing.
Great video. Always pulling for Marcos. His year was spotty but definitely finished strong. If he could have gotten that win against GD in Vienna would have finished just outside top 50. He is looking a lot more confident to me, hitting more assertively even when getting in tighter spots. Best of luck to him in 2023. Hoping JJ and Ben can continue their upward trajectory.
Great video Karue! I love the "tight spin" comment you made to him. I know exactly what you mean. More of these vids please! Will you travel with him in the new year?
Very interesting even at Marcos's level the advises is still very similar. Obviously fitness and expectations is totally different but things like shot selections or like 11:25 to stay with the ball. This is such a gem. Thank you for the video
Karue - Bonus point # 3 gets my vote...so demoralizing when you think you hit a great serve and it comes back and you can't even respond. Love this content with Giron!!! Let's get to 100k!!!!
Karue - great stuff as always! I’d love it if you could do some content on receiving coaching as a player. Listening to you give feedback to Marcos, who obviously has played a lot of tennis and has opinions about what to do on court - I thought it would be interesting to hear about how a player can be “coachable” - can stay open to suggestions and coaching while still feeling like you’re playing “your game”.
Thank you! Tennis in general isn’t as big on YT. And sometimes our content isn’t too “algorithm friendly” as we try to really dive deep into subjects. But we are constantly growing. Tell your friends about us hahah
Another thing that comes to mind is the difference on wich Marcos was able to attack Gustavo's (?) ball. He looks like a really good junior, but his balls didn't hurt Marcos. However, when Karue was playing, despite getting his ass handed to him (as it should), Marcos had to work way harder, not being able to dominate as easily. Great content, as usual! Some people that comment here really should go watch some pro tennis live, to understand the speed difference. But well.... "4.5 at best, at least in my area".
Karue this is great!! Could you make a note or talk briefly about type tennis balls in a video? I find that so important… I see the wilson us open cans? Could you talk about why these balls are great and why players should avoid playing with penn for example? Lol
Which ones do you like the most? To me, Wilson US Opens are consistent for a while but then they just lose all their fluffyness and are like bullets. Penn depends on the type. I feel like here in Panama in the Wholesaler, Costco type, they send us the balls that are in the outter limits of quality control. Very uneven between them, many become a rock quite fast, but last longer. I guess is the "rock" feeling why you may want to stay away from them, but is what I use the most and could be worse. The blue Pro Penn, much softer, I like those. Dunlop are def my favorite in consistency, feel, durability.
@@elchanclascocina if balls are accessible to you, then I would always play with wilson US open. And open 2 new cans every time because you are right about those balls losing hair
I think we should play and get familiar with any type of balls that are used in tournaments. I know folks that start b*tching when I open a can of penn or dunlop. What happens when they show up at a tournament sponsored by these two? Shut up and play or pack up and go home.
If I was a betting man, I'd say this was a prototype of the Vcore 95 that's due to come out commercially in January 2023 for the Asuatralian Open. Pros would have received them ahead of time to try / adjust.
Great hitting by Marcos, unsurprisingly. He's just murdering the ball. Is it just me or he seems to be playing a different racquet than the 2021 Vcore 95? The head shape looks a bit different, it has an all red bump guard, and Marcos seems to be looking at it all the time between plays, as if he's still trying to adjust. Is this the 2023 version of the Vcore 95?
I was thinking the same... great content and possible sneak peak of 2023 Yonex Vcore 95 updates, cutting edge!!! Thanks Karue for always giving great videos!
Hi Tennis HQ! Great training tips there! I wonder if you have the service of video analysis available. What I mean by that is: I would post my video on UA-cam, and you would analyse it for a fee. Is that possible?
Karue, I am a sport's counselor working with athletes and performers of various sports. If you have any plans on working on the mental side of tennis, I would love to collaborate in some way.
Hey @My Tennis HQ ... Why is it that when I am playing against a ball machine, I can hit absolute fucking SLAMMERS. No joke, you'd think some of my shots are on your level. But when I go out into a match, I hit with 25% of that power. My wrist lag tightens up to almost nothing. I become so much less happy with my shots. Is it that I'm trying too hard to win, and need to loosen up and slam some? Or is it the reverse, that when I'm hitting the ball machine I need to stop slamming inconsistent shots and try more incremental improvements on my power? I guess maybe what I'm wondering is - how should I be using the ball machine? Slam balls as hard as I can even if my consistency goes down? Or should I play just slightly harder than I would in a match?
Make your ball machine practice little more difficult. Use cones, shuffle around the corne between ball feeds. It's about finding balance and preparing for the shot and if you just stand there and hit the same ball from the ball machine you don't get to train the footwork and bodywork anything close to match conditions
Because I truly believe hitting with the ball machine is the worst thing anyone can do. People spend hours hitting the same ball over an over, barely moving their feet but once a match starts and the rhythm is different and chaotic (slow balls, fast, low shots, high shots, short, deep) you are not prepared for the chaos. Play more matches instead of slamming balls. It is like hitting the ball well at the driving range vs actually playing a course
@@KaruesellHQ the ball coming out of my ball machine is unpredictable, so I guess it's pretty good training? I _wish_ I could get the same ball over and over so I could groove a certain stroke. Also, it's rare to be able to coordinate with someone to hit, which is why the ball machine.
@@KaruesellHQ Thank you for that advice. I think that's what I needed to hear. In my gut, that's what I was feeling, but to hear it from a pro allows confirms my suspicion. Thank you!
Marcos has to up intensity on inside out. He's got the pace to win against the top 10 but not the angles. His inside out ball needs to land shorter in the court. Tight spin out wide is the most important shot in mens tennis after the serve.
Hard to fathom how one can hit the living crap out of the ball and it still lands in. Doesn’t look like he hits with massive spin either, at least not compared to other folks 🤯
these balls have kind of a weak bounce, like theyre low on pressure, allowing any kind of stroke to be powerful and successful when actually its not :)
This is a 12 min clip of a 2 hour practice session. I left out all the comments.. of course I don’t just say something every single time he hits. Thought that would be obvious tbh
Insane that Marcos is literally pummeling the ball and Karue is still able to counterpunch so many of those so nice and deep. Shows how razor thin the margins are up top in the ATP.
Karue was a pro too. And still young.
Karue is deadass gonna create the most skilled tennis fanbase with these tutorials.
Joga bem dms!
Hahah that is the goal! Muito obrigado
@@KaruesellHQ Has helped me significantly, can say that with confidence
This channel made me a fan of Marcos. I feel like as he improves I'm improving too. I wish him the best of luck in the next season!

Great video!
It's hard to image that Marcos had two hip surgeries, he is a beast.
Right?
Wow! A great video. Such a imaginative and new concept for tennis videos. I'm hooked. Well done!
thank you! Tell your friends hehe
Is it just me or is this the hardest Marcos has hit on the channel
You took that thought right out of my head! Cheers!
M
He’s been doing really well on tour 👏🏼 practice makes progress 👌🏼 agreed ^^
"Push it tighter towards the line". So you want Marcos to be a Pusher?
He's training flat driving shots.
in practice players tend to play much more aggressively than matches. In matches, players start to make a balance between risky shots vs trying to keep the ball in playing.
what a beautiful practice!!!!!
Invite Marcos to the show more often please. Have him talk about what goes through in his mind too. Thanks
I wondered since Marcos was starting to become somewhat of a big shot, whether he would still be on your channel. I'm glad to see that he is!
Hahah he is just busy! He will be in the channel a lot more next year!
Great video. Always pulling for Marcos. His year was spotty but definitely finished strong. If he could have gotten that win against GD in Vienna would have finished just outside top 50.

Love watching pro-players practice. Keep up the work, Karue.
Awesome video Karue! Marcos was hitting BIG. When he plays like that, you can tell he's a top 100 player.
Cant wait for your next video!👍
Best tennis tutorial channel hands down!!
I talked to Marcos at Citi Open. He’s really approachable and vibrant. Cool guy.
Love Marcos, more content with him please
He will be on the channel a lot more next year!
Great video Karue! I love the "tight spin" comment you made to him. I know exactly what you mean. More of these vids please! Will you travel with him in the new year?

Looking like, Fed out there 💪
Glad I found this video! Awesome job 👍

I totally agree!
The dynamic Bruin duo is Back! great content as always.
Great video! I just can't imagine the pace of the shots of the top 10 players.

How lucky is Gustavo to be a return dummy in these drills?! Pretty awesome experience. Love seeing Marcos in these videos.
this channel has made me a giron fan, always looking for him to make a deep run
Looks like his hitting has gone up a level. Really impressive.
Marco is crushing the ball. His game has improved this season.
Coach Karue 🐐
You're such a great coach
And you play so efficiently
just earned a subscriber. great stuff. my old tennis club, looks a little different from last I saw it. cheers
Awesome video Karue, love these style of videos!
does Marcos add lead to racket? can you do video on this on adding lead and customizing
I really enjoyed it

Hi Karue! is Marcos hitting with the new Vcore 95 2023?
Giron's racket... latest vcore or previous vcore??
Which racquet are you playing with?
Yonex vcore 95 with lead tape
Karue, do you know if Marcos plays with the 6th edition VCore or an older version paintjobbed?
New vcore got Marcos grooving??
is that a new paint job for yonex vcore 95? looks different from the current one
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like Marcos is practicing with the all red VC95 from 2018.
@@icemandl6 thats what I thought but the bumper guard should be black though.
If I was a betting man, I'd say this was a prototype of the Vcore 95 that's due to come out commercially in January 2023 for the Asuatralian Open. Pros would have received them ahead of time to try / adjust.
Nice to see the new paint job from vcore 2023😍
How do you generate that tight spin?
The last 2% hand rotation after tapping the dog I think.
Incredible racquet head speed
Does Marcos have a slightly too late forehand preparation? The ball seems to be on top of him when his hitting it.
I love it. Man watch Karue become marcos' coach
I'm thinking the same
Does anyone know what he means by TIGHT SPIN?
Marcos Giron has the potential to be Top 20 next year. 100%
Is that the new Vcore paint job Marcos is using?
Is Marcos trying the new vcore racket?😀
GIRON 💪💪
Is Marco using a Vcore 95 or 98
Is Marcos using the new vcore??????
11:53 Kyrgios like point!
Ok, it’s been 2 weeks and I have watched that little skipper return Karue hit at the end like 20 times 😂.
New vcores?

Happy Thanksgiving Karue and MTHQ crew
Thank you! Same to you
Karue is a tough coach 4:00
Beast mode
The speed is insane
Weight of shot looks like a rocket🚀
What strings does he use? When he makes contact it sounds like a shotgun 👀
Half poly half natural gut
Hi Tennis HQ! Great training tips there! I wonder if you have the service of video analysis available. What I mean by that is: I would post my video on UA-cam, and you would analyse it for a fee. Is that possible?
Those last three points were just Karue proving that he is the sensei wu of tennis.

Do better then

Didn’t know you now coach him. Comparing to some well known pro coaches I think you talk more, a bit too much fluff comments
