  • And we are back for another lesson with mr. Winston Du! Today we are continuing to focus on Winston’s strengths, mainly his forehand. My goal with this lesson is to show Winston he can dominate opponents with his forehand by using height and court position to create pressure on the other side. After the lesson ask yourself this: “with the tools I currently have, how can I add pressure on my opponent in each point?”

    One of the best things about this lesson is that Winston has retained what he learned from the first lesson, i.e., he's split stepping just before his opponent hits the ball rather than splitting too soon and having to wait.

    Watching this definitely gave me more perspective on my game. Currently 3.5 trying to make it to 4.0. I'm trying to force too many winners and tend to make a mistake that Winston did at first with anticipating the next ball before the opponent hits and moving into the court, rather than playing the ball and taking the opportunities when it presents itself. Thanks Karue!

      There are definitely times where you need to anticipate the next ball. If you hit a good ball to a corner and can tell they won't be able to get to it in time to set their feet and hit a quality ball back to you, you can move in and be aggressive to put that next ball away at the net. I think he wanted Winston to avoid anticipation so that he could work on his ball recognition and reaction to that recognition.

      @@mikedudley9975 I was thinking the same thing, that there are definitely times where you need to anticipate the next ball. When you are rallying, sometimes you will "accidentally" hit what turns out to be a good approach shot. Move in and capitalize on it before the opponent hits it.

    • @circuitdesign

      @ChubbyAthletics I am 4.0 and I see what you describe many times when I play 3.5 guys. I know that they will be overly aggressive trying to "prove" to me that they can play at my level. They end up making mistakes, so all I have to worry about is just out-steadying them. Of course, if they hit weak balls, I will try to attack, but I stay patient. Usually I just have to keep 6 balls in play and I know I will beat a 3.5.

    It is a perfect lesson, Karue thank you so much. I am playing singles on 4.0 level and I have consistency in my strokes but I did not have weapon. And just increase pace significantly from base line without doing mistakes it is almost impossible, serve and volley is also not my style. But this suggestion to go in on shorter balls and take balls early on the rise it is just perfect! I think I am finally finding my weapon for singles matches. Also my brain used to think about movement just left and right and now I am first time in my life starting to develop thinking about evaluating length of the balls and moving forward.

    Great lesson on moving inside the court to take time away from the opponent. You mentioned wanting to improve Winston’s vision in order for him to move forward at the appropriate time. This is where you hit the nail on the head, everyone’s visual system is different and a player must improve their vision in order to improve. It is obvious their your visual skills are more advanced than Winston’s, and Winston’s visual skills are probably more advanced than 95% of your viewers. I have the good fortune of playing doubles with an old gentleman who played in the main draw at Wimbledon back in the 1970’s. Even though he is in his 70’s, he can see things quicker than players half his age. We must try an improve our visual skills. GREAT LESSON!!!

    Great lesson! Thanks for sharing the thought process of a top player. I also like that you point out in the demonstration that things do always go as planned, but keeping the same mindset after you “reset” is what’s important.
    Winston is at the perfect level for this series where he is a solid consistent player, but doesn’t construct points with intention to gain that 5% advantage.

    Honestly, that is the most valuable insight for any 4.5 player. I made notes and will
    apply it to my own game. Too often I over-hit when applying pressure especially after we are several balls into the exchange. Court position and the slow and steady built up. Btw. Giron’s game is improving on the tour. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you!

    Karue - Thanks, I needed this. I'm a consistent hitter from the baseline, but felt that my game was "soft".... just trying to outlast my opponent until he makes an unforced error. That only gets me so far. So I started being more aggressive with ground strokes and placement and moving in, but have been making far too many errors.
    Now, I'm going to try to hit high and heavy, and seek to step inside the court whenever possible....while staying patient.

    love this series. integrated the last lesson into my games and pushed myself to be more aware of my footwork and split step. It makes a huge difference. Literally have Karue's voice in my head - SPLIT STEP AND MOVE! Moving towards the ball -> better positioning -> solid base -> effortless power and consistency. Also I noticed I don't get caught off balance as often. sometimes I get so caught up trying to regain my court position I forget to split step and just respond to the ball.

  • @joseurbina6219

    While I'm watching this video, I'm thinking obviously of myself, but also of Felix of Tennis Brothers, I've watched some of his matches against very consistent guys, where he struggles to finish the points because these players keep Felix behind the baseline, and sometimes he doesn't step in too... this video makes so much sense, attack progressively so you can step in, and finish with short easy balls or even volleys... Thanks Karue 😁

  • @jah9253
    @jah9253 Рік тому

    What Karue is teaching about getting good positioning and creating angles pretty much describes my mindset when playing tennis (4.5 player). I'm always looking to attack and get on the offensive. I struggle when my opponent either plays the same way and is good at it, or guys with heavy penetrating topspin shots, or speed demons who can track down tons of balls. My weakness is playing defensively, especially as I age. It does help that my serve is still a weapon (even though I can't bomb it like I used to I can hit my spots and spins) and I'm a lefty.

  • @andrewpatterson9833
    @andrewpatterson9833 Рік тому +1

    @MyTennisHQ , what're your thoughts on the concept of taking space and how space works in tennis?
    In chess it's a lot easier to understand since it's so much slower, and effectively means how much control you have over the board, and naturally, if you have a ton of freedom to put pressure you want and attack where you want it's much easier to win.
    In tennis, our board is constantly changing and moving, hard to see sometimes, but I think it's the same concept. Because a short or weak ball is an opportunity to make space and take control of the court.
    So I think what you're telling Winston here is that he needs to make space to make opportunities. Not to push through a heavy defense without much space, with a lower percentage shot. Or simply sit on the baseline and wait for the opponent to hang a piece, aka, make an unforced error.

    How long has Winston been playing? Has he played tennis since age 5 or just for the last few years? I am new to tennis, so I don't know whether Winston has played for a long time but has some "bad habits" or is just a newer player who needs some coaching to get over a roadblock? Maybe it is harder to change a more established player? In martial arts, like boxing, it's almost harder to change an ingrained habit in an experienced boxer than to teach someone who is new and needs to develop a different approach.

    After stepping in to take a ball early, do you keep pushing up to the net or hop back out behind the baseline? I'm guessing it depends on how good your shot was, but it seemed like Winston was pushing to the net most points. I'm guessing he was pushing up because his shot was good enough to keep the pressure coming forward, but would love a little feedback on this piece!
