Your previous tip on watching the ball totally let me feel that peaceful feeling of seeing the ball slow down (mind speeding up). It works wonders in matches.
I tried this out today on slow ball feeds. I focused on "watching the elbow come through" after contact. For some reason, balls were sailing long. More power but balls flying 5 feet long. 🤔
how is this any different than trying to see the ball at contact through the back of the strings? is this just an alternative, or are you refining your earlier--what I though was excellent--tip?
Honestly. One idea works for some people and the other for others. If I was on court with the player I would know immediately what to suggest. But on UA-cam I'm blind. 😉 I can't see the viewers. So I try to give many different suggestions for the same problem. Does that make sense?
Confused. You say moving the head independently of the body leads to a blurred perception of the ball but when you keep your head still, it’s moving independently of the rotating body!
@@caseybanana8114I think your response is Your head should be static relative to your body till the end of the forward swing (follow-through). But it is moving relative to the ground, because the head moves with the body.
But then why is Djokovic's gaze further ahead than Federer's? Because Djokovic head turned with the body? But doesn't that mean Federer's head didn't turn with the body, i.e. the body turned independently of the head, which is akin to the head turning independently of the body.
Eye dominance plays a big role in head positioning at contact. If your right eye dominant and right handed you watch down the court more at contact on forehead. Whereas on the backhand you can be more with the ball at contact.
Okay, I have to admit this was pretty awesome! My kid started to “watch the ball” especially on the BH with great results. But sounds like it’s not the “watching part” rather, stabilizing the head…. Thanks!

Brilliant. So interesting and really makes sense
Another fascinating video. So clever.
Great tip. No matter how much I tell myself to keep my head still, I move it too soon to see the results of my stroke.
You are a genius sir.
Terrific analysis and tip, as always. The best coach on the net.
Very innovative. And interesting
THANK YOU for this reminder! I don't play tennis anymore, but like the many similar skills, this will translate into my pickleball game.

How about some drill ?
Please recommend some gud books in a video

It’s not really still. It’s moving more with the body then it is independently. So that’s why you get better focus

I can't wait to try this

One handed backhand and elbow doesn't work... Right?
Thanks. Great video and I love your books
Brilliant. Very interesting
Excellent idea!
