I love seeing the reactions of the opposing players after big shots, almost never too down on themselves. You gotta be a warrior in tennis man, I love it!
@Iherdaddy it doesn't matter where your from and I don't think they're saying that the dude yelling is distracting to the player I think they're trying to say that they are annoying in general. I am annoyed by it because I feel like it's disrespectful and shows bad sportsmanship even though it is encouraging their team mate.
LOL the voice is high pitched but it’s how he says, “Yes! Yes, Axel!” that is annoying.. like experiencing something else not appropriate in a tennis match..
Love the technique on both these guys' backhands; clean, solid and very effective. I try to get as close to this shape with all my clients that use the double hander. Awesome stuff as usual guys, keep up the good work!
@@mdog5339 Watch this point from 15:38. It looks like he can hit a forehand with just one hand but as the point goes on, he wins the point by what looks like a two-handed forehand. P.S. When he serves, he serves like a right hander. No matter: he's a great player! (From 17:48, it looks like he has both hands on the handle when he hits his forehands.)
This may be a dumb question but what differentiates a two handed forehand to a backhand I’m not necessarily referring to a right or left hander I’m just asking technique wise what’s the difference between the two shots?
@@Jamsome59 You can see when he hits a forehand, his left hand is above his right , but gripping the racquet in a backhand grip. On his backhand the left hand is gripping the racquet in a forehand grip.
Textbook kick serve at 9:45. I slowed the speed to 0.25 and watched it several times and each time wished I had that serve in my arsenal :). Great teaching aid to try to emulate.
@@linpawz3029 At first, I too wondered why the kick wasn't more pronounced. The form and toss look spot on - even in slow motion. I think maybe two reasons... 1.) Perhaps he could have had more wrist snap - which is what generates the kick. 2.) It is hard to tell, but his opponent looks to me to be standing just inside the baseline and returned the ball early just after the kick. Notice that the ball is still on the rise when the opponent returns it. This is what you are supposed to do when returning a kick serve. I think if that same serve was into an empty court, you would have saw a bigger kick and would think it was better than "very average".
Brian Vogel nope i do not agree ..! When he hits the ball on the return it already has shown some bounce potential :)that is what a good kick does.The bounce is so sudden that the reciever has to sneak attack much inside the baseline to decrease the effectiveness of the serve. which is a very tough skill used by minimal players :D
@@linpawz3029 We disagree then. Please provide a link to a video that shows a near court server serving to an opponent in the far court (not into an empty court) with a kick serve as you described. I could not find such a serve in this 22 minute video - which means these tennis players from top west coast American universities all have very average kick serves according to your definition. Thank you.
Brian Vogel ua-cam.com/video/W0FXXx2ltGw/v-deo.html here !! See how the ball pops up on the bounce and clears the target ..that is a good kick serve :)
The essence of competition is to compete with yourself to raise yourself up, rather then trying to put other people down... You can be competitive and respectful at the same time.
Yup, he's hitting big on both side, you see the new school big topspin forehand and very flat backhand like Kyrgios, Sock or Auger-Aliassime. BUT he's not afraid to hit hard on that flat backhand. With a better footwork and more stable/load stance (he looks like dancing all over the place), he will be BIG and will serve harder.
Not exactly, his positioning there could've thrown off the opponent thinking he'd go for a sharp angle but it didn't work and backfired. I don't think he was avoiding the backhand
And a one-handed take-back (with the off hand on the throat). He literally prepares and finishes like he's going to hit with one hand but hits with two. Weird af.
Those are all really great points by some very good players but of all the points, not one, not even one single handed back hand player ? I mean is it that outdated ?
@14:14 the empire called 30 - 40 that means the server is at 30. After winning the next point, the game should be at 40-40 which is deuce. Are the points correct?
blackshirt redhat guy is sneaky good.. I mean his groundstrokes don't look big but they have great placement.. then when he flattens out and goes for a winner it's beautiful..
KurryKumar there’s thousands of people trying to compete for pros. This is just average tennis at the highest level. When I say average, it’s average relative to the higher skilled players. Hitting the ball back and forth really fast isn’t going to get you in ATP.
KurryKumar it’s the same reason why a lot of high skilled people from every sports/games don’t make it pro... they just aren’t skilled enough to compete in the highest level of tier. Not denying their skills, but to be professional you need something special.
The way I see it 95% of D1 college tennis is low to mid level pro tennis. The top 5% are at least top 400. Very little or none make it to top 100. Last two in top 100 I think are Steve Johnson and Mackenzie McDonald. Either way, most of it should be high quality tennis. Only problem I have with it is the bad line calls...
@@andrewmoya8832 Most college tennis is just for fun so its never bad. heck you can even get scholarships for it. Everyone I know who has played has enjoyed it. Why would you think its bad?

“YES , YES AXEL” pretty much sums up the whole video 😂
Anyone else wanna hit a 200 mile serve in the "YES, AXEL, YES" guy's face...
And the whole comment section
11:41 yeah yeah yeah YEAH! Sounds like some sort of tropical bird 😂 love it
He said yes actually lol
TyphonLeTitan yes yes yes YES
@@jiayangliu Shh he might hear you and fly over
The camera angle you’ve got here is perfect.
All I hear is "YES, YES AXEL!" man

Yes

Kudos to you man this video is awesome. So tough to find decent collegiate tennis footage on youtube. Thanks for the upload
Hey guys, I figured out what one of their names was! Axel! LOL
lol that forehand looked so familiar

The Cal guys' two handed forehand had me replaying the video like 30 times
I liked that UC David guy's game. Incredible hands at the net at 11:48.
This is much less fun when you don't include the score. Otherwise great hitting.
Patrick buddy you can hear the score being called if you’re paying attention
first couple is the best. watch on if you wanna see someone playing to the backhand just to avoid seeing a double-handed forehand :)
What the heck!
Hahaha that double forehand is weird!!
I would pay for streaming if prontennis was watched like this on tv...
I know! This is always the best angle and they basically never show it
@@Philosophiseraptor yeah because they need to show the all sponsor logos for a majority of the time.
@@asingh112-e5h 😢
Those points between Axel & Brandon were good fun to watch!
Damn, these kids are good.
the yellow shirt guy at 15:30 forehand made me suddenly awake
or was it a backhand!?
MrSleepAllDay it was a backhand.
Did he beat axel?
It was backhand but haven't seen a 2-fisted forehand in years since monica seles
Walter Spoiled Cat Hsieh Su-wei?
I like white shirt guy's phenomenal forehand and backhand.
Yup, he's hitting big on both side, you see the new school big topspin forehand and very flat backhand like Kyrgios, Sock or Auger-Aliassime. BUT he's not afraid to hit hard on that flat backhand. With a better footwork and more stable/load stance (he looks like dancing all over the place), he will be BIG and will serve harder.
Which white shirt guy?
The guy with the hat on did pretty well too.
@@kentinmania medvedev too
YES! YES! YES! This is gold
1:18. The perfect example of the price players pay for going around their backhands.
Not exactly, his positioning there could've thrown off the opponent thinking he'd go for a sharp angle but it didn't work and backfired. I don't think he was avoiding the backhand
This is awesome real talent I need to step up my game
How can you step up yo game when you ain’t got any. lol
J/K bro.
J.T. Nishimura.... is that a two handed forehand with a one handed follow through?!?
And a one-handed take-back (with the off hand on the throat). He literally prepares and finishes like he's going to hit with one hand but hits with two. Weird af.
I don’t think I’ll ever hit a shot on backhand as cleanly as these guys
I don’t get how a two handed forehand works but i like it !
He is left handed that why he is doing it
15:47 prep non-hitting hand high, sliding down to hit double handed forehand with a lasso kinda finish... OOOK dude
Love such colleges who have tennis 🎾 sports.)))
Those are all really great points by some very good players but of all the points, not one, not even one single handed back hand player ? I mean is it that outdated ?
Two handed is just better nowadays
I love watching these college points. Hopefully when I play I don't have to hear people like that guy telling out but oh well. That's sports i guess
how old are these guys? Very advanced level
Dude in the white does a fist pump every single point 😅💪🏼
Good attitude from him
the first match was good
YES YES YES YES YES AXEL YES YES
How old are they?
Loved that YES YES😂
Come on AXEL!!
12:04 this is when you need a good flat serve, buddy. he's standing half way up the court. shoot one at his feet
How do they slide with close stance
one arm backhand forbiden in the states?
15:48 both hands on both sides
Why don't they broadcast ATP matches at courtview like this?
what teams are these ?
The guy in the White shirt has such a simple and good serve techniche
Level of these kids is unreal.
@14:14 the empire called 30 - 40 that means the server is at 30. After winning the next point, the game should be at 40-40 which is deuce. Are the points correct?
Joe Cho that was the other court
Anyonw know the name of the guy in yellow. His forehand is very fascinating
JT nishimaru
All the sports videos you have
Great compilation. Question: what does J10S mean?
My guess is Just Tennis. Say J10S slowly and it sounds like just tennis.
Oh wow; you're right! Thanks!
Yes yes yes coach: just hit it to his backhand
Guy facing the yellow shirt: which one?
4:18 coach celebrated too early hehe
Thanks. :D
How many yes’ do I have to hear?

I've been to this court hundreds of times even though I never been to America.

What kind of camera? Is awesome !
just a question but do you think all of these players could beat the women's top 10
yes :)

Whats axel's forehand grip
Out of curiosity what exactly makes pros on tour better than these guys?
KurryKumar maybe skills?
@@SuperGGLOL No, really? I had no idea....I'm asking for specifics.

How many people in US become professional after graduation of college?
amazing players
Does anyone else think it's kind of sad that these players probably won't be good enough to compete on the tour?
no they’re on scholarship so free college!
15:07 OOOHHH OHHHH OHHH9SDVISDBV
Man I'd have got pissed off with the 'Yes! Yes Axel!' guy...
I thought it was funny
The yes guy needs to retire 10:39
yellow shirt with the 2 handed forehand? nice
The kid with the yellow shirt has pretty good foresight on to how the next play is going to be played...
wow nice game
the player in yellow the latter third has a weird like 2h forehand grip/shot...... never seen that before.

Dean D.L. John isner Kevin Anderson ?
2:32
Not one single hand backhand?
Most tennis programs in America from what I've seen teach 2 handers
Thats Logan Smith of SC! Fight On!
i hate having dad like "yes yes yes"
holy F. he has same "yes yes yes" mom... pure guy
nobody plays with a one-hander
YES! YES! YES!
Trying to figure out any weakness a top pro would exploit. Approach shots and net game seems the most vulnerable: 25% success at the net seems like.
This is the angle professional tennis should be shown.
I want to play D1 Tennis so so bad!
why?
Get to work
D1 is great but you can still have a fun time in d2 or even some good d3 schools

Am I tripping or does yellow shirt hit two-handed forehands?
4:52 His serve and forehand motion kinda looks like Nadal's 🤔
Not really, a lot of lefty’s like taking advantage of the spin they have since most are used to it.
these guys never slice in the first match which is so surprising
