High quality content, as usual. I watched many tennis channels here but Meike explains it in a way that makes more sense. Great recording, visuals, camera focus (see from back, from side, etc). Thanks for making these videos.
The other factor to incorporate here is to get to the ball as soon as possible (close to the net). This can come from a short ball to your forehand or a sharply angled ball to your forehand. If I get one of these latter balls I really unload on the shot because I don’t want to see the ball coming’s back due to being so wide of the court. This approach also illustrates a danger from a highly angled shot because, if your opponent catches up to the shot, you could end up on the receiving end of a highly angled shot.
Great again! In my latest video I demolished an ATP tennis pro at practice by hitting angles and moving him around. He told me afterwards that he couldn’t understand where I was going to go and if I was going to hit hard or an angle. Thanks again for a great video 🤗🎾🏆
Ball direction off the racquet face is determined by a combination of the racquet face orientation, the direction of the incoming shot and the speed of the incoming shot. If your opponent hits an 80 mph shot sharply cross court and your racquet face is parallel to the baseline your shot is going well wide. If your opponent hits a 50 mph somewhat cross court shot and you hit an 80 mph shot with your racquet face parallel to the baseline it will go only a bit wide of where your racquet face is pointing.
I always love your content Meike. And I don't mean it as criticism, but I do have my questions on the promotion of FYB. Don't get me wrong, I have both the Singles and Doubles playbook. And besides that I understand about collaborations (although I find them a bit aggressive when it comes to promotions). But what I'm trying to say is that I wonder if you are really with them all the way. Because with so many of the stats they present there are countless of questions one can ask. Sometimes the interpretation of the stats seem so one sighted and random. As if to just look at some numbers and throw them around to make a point. Sometimes they are taking completely out of context. Anyway I do use some of their plays in my coaching and use some of the drills as well as a lot of your unique insights and drills. So thank you and hopefully this didn't come of the wrong way 🙏🏼
I appreciate your feedback and how you worded it. I really do like FYB's (and not just because I benefit financially which I need to in order to spend as much time on creating content :-) What I do appreciate in all their products is that I have to stay up to date and have to keep educating myself and see what works for me. Not every single thing will benefit every single player so I pick and choose what I use on court depending on who I have in my sessions. And it's great that FYB gives me the resources to do so.
@@MeikeBabelTennisThank you for your answer and for your honesty Meike. And honestly, that is a great way to look at it. I guess I kind of do the same. Sometimes to me it just feels too much. I want to read and study everything and I lose an overview so to say.
That is some good advice. However... My footwork seems to be so obvious that my fellow clubmates know what's coming way in advance. So after a couple of unsuccessful attempts I usually switch back to crushing the ball whenever the opportunity arises.
Wow, great video, this teaching has shown me my shortcomings. I now know how to pull out an angle, which should be a strong topspin. I used to go for speed, angle, and low, to pull out an angle, but it's easy to miss. I think I'm going to go out on the court and try to deal with a strong topspin ball. I'll find the balance. Thank you very much for the lesson. One more thing, how do I deal with killing my opponent when I hit a good angle, do I go to the net, or do I take another angle at the baseline, and how do I differentiate between the two?

You're welcome and thanks for the specific feedback.
I agree the production quality is really good. Good angles ;).

incredible advice. thhanks for this
Great lesson Meike

Amen to this! Make them move to angles is a great strategy.
Awesome lesson! Becoming a follower!
Awesome! Welcome on board!
This makes so much sense! Love your content coach! Thank you!

Excellent teaching and lesson! Thanks Coach Meike 💯🙏
love your details thank you
The juicy backhand slice looked like a Barty slice!
I take that!
Rather the other way around.
I heard if you grunt like Monica Seles your angle shots will improve. That also helps when you open the refrigerator door.
I love your videos.
