- 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?”

This Karue teaching Winston series is AWSOME!!! Please keep updating!!!
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.
Yes Karue. Love this series.
Also you’re doing great with Giron.
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.
@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!!!
these are the best lessons with the coach on the court coaching during play. this is what we all need the most! thanks!
Karue Sells this channel so well. I love this new series.
I like what you did there 😅
im still going to double bagel Winston
@@MarkSansait Video coming soon?
@@MarkSansait 😂 I like to see that😎 On Real Tennis channel...
@@MarkSansait shit not with that technique holy, both u and Winston dont know how to move around the court, keep grinding though
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!
I freaking love this video Karue. You're putting out the best tennis instruction content by far. Keep in coming please.
I know that the point of the example Karue shows at the beginning was that you don't have to go from 50 to 100 in a split second but it was so goddamn cool to see him go from 50 to 100 in a split second, haha. I want to do that even though I know I shouldn't
Man Winston I am so happy for you man. WPWP, Karue is a tough coach but man is he the best! Big fan of both of you guys.
Greetings from Germany. I am Tennis addicted, 44 years old and your vids and work with Winston are very inspiring
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.
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 😁
this was one of the best lessons I've ever seen on UA-cam, simple but extremely effective. Really enjoying this collab, great video guys
Karue, se vier um dia para o Brasil, faça uma clínica aqui no interior de São Paulo. Essas suas dicas são excelentes. A técnica é importante, mas a análise de jogo que o tenista precisa fazer durante partida é crucial. Esse vídeo é uma aula! Congrats.
Exato pode me convidar. Se quiser fazer em belo
Horizonte te indico o local ideal também.
Great lesson. Taking time away from the opponent is what we used to call it. This will make Winston’s forehand much more of a weapon for sure.
Indeee, taking time a way. In my mind I like to use the word punish, so to punish the opponent if they leave a short ball or a soft one. Many times I'm still the punished one though. 😅
Wonderful teaching, it does really help me
This series is amazing! love it! Great tips and lesson. Not enough at this level on UA-cam.
It’s great to see just by moving up marginally to balls and taking time away you can flip the point. It’s not always about slugging winners by putting more pace on the ball.
added benefit of moving up to catch the ball on the rise is your momentum is through the shot and you get a "weightier" ball naturally
This is an eye opener. It’s all about taking time away instead of “hitting harder”
wonderful explantation and coaching by example - Thank You!
I was teaching this exact concept to a guy last year. I'm gonna send him this video for further back up. Thanks buddy.
Best I've seen Winston hit the ball! Yes, hit the ball earlier and move forward and attack those weak short balls quickly at shoulder height and move in for the kill!
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.
Love this series! Every time I watch this series I get so motivated to step on the court myself!! Sooo good
This series will rock the whole UA-cam tennis world!
Yeah - give us more like this Dr. Karue!
There's videos are seriously useful. It's like the lessons were made for me. Thanks guys
This is EXCELLENT guys. I wish more coaches learn how to teach tennis. It's A GAME for crying out loud, play tennis with your instructors/partners.
Man, this is so good Karue. Thanks
So many level up takeaways (fundamental and nuanced). Awesome Karue🔥
such a dope series. Winston Literally getting better as the video goes. So many great coaching tips, Keep It up Karue. Been Watching from the beggining and content is only getting better.
@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.
Great content! Love the live instruction. Thank you!
Great content Karue! Glad to learn new things that other tennis channels don't teach
Thank you
This series is great!
Congrats for your channels and collaboration
Love the content boys! Great work and loving the series so far!!
Wow, that’s awesome
Great lesson. Thanks. It’s something I’m struggling with too. I’ve been playing too defensively.
Wow Karue.
Excelente aula. Gostaria de fazer aulas com você hahaha.
Parabéns pelo canal e as vitórias no profissional que você está tendo.
Great lesson! This series is great because it is bringing something new vs. the same old same old generic tennis tips.
Thank you Sir Karue for making these videos and helping me improve my game.
I just recently started tennis about 2 weeks ago my brother used to play in high school and I had never even attempted it before but Ty so much for all the tips the first day I couldn’t even get more than a volley of 2 or 3 now we are almost able to play a game thanks for all the tips maybe one day if I’m ever in a state near you I can get a game or something im 22yrs old but I’m a quick learner 😂 or maybe just a lesson for a complete beginner love the videos keep up the amazing content
Bravo on this series....really good content.
Watched a lot of your videos and a subscriber. One of your best to date sir.
Your teachings are truly awesome! So relevant and simple! Thank you for giving us such quality videos! 👍
If you could do one on reaching angles without taking too much risks it would be great 😉
Great instruction! I think a lot of modern players hesitate to come forward incrementally, but you explained it really well.
This content is just mind-blowing even just by watching ...
Great lesson Karue! Very helpful as I’m implementing the same things
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.
Really enjoying Winston content
If Winston can train enough to take the ball at the peak/early, plus gain depth on his shots, the forehand could be used more for putaway shots
Excellent stuff Karue. We need an explanation on why you're back to using the 2021 vcore 95.
Excelentes consejos, gracias Karue
Great stuff, love this series!
Vídeo muito bom ! Abraços Karue !
Great video! It also looks like Sir Du has pulled a couple extra-leg days in the gym.
this is actually amazing
Thankssss
Love this lesson!
Really good lesson!!!
Great lesson❤🎉
I really like Karue's confounded comment "holy" at timestamp 3:23. lol
Awesome lesson! Going to the ball instead of letting the ball go to him
Winston’s forehand and movement are really good. His issue in matches is his 1st serve, 2nd serve, net game and easy putaways. I think working on those are more important for his game than forehand strategy
4.5 at BEST
Maybe they did already
I agree with everything else except his movements being good. He a lot of times wait too long before moving into position and set up, which makes he hit balls late. His movements also look sluggish which I think is the main reason holding him back
Interesting. As I was going to post that the thing that makes him look 4.5 to me is his movement and his groundstrokes. The movement seems a bit slow and late. The groundstrokes seem stiff and muscled.
@@cks2020693 I agree with this. Movement seems slow off the mark and steps are not quick enough. If court-speed is your thing, will never see a 5.0 with similar movement
1:29 - Controlled aggression with court positioning
3:07 - Practicing moving inside the baseline
4:59 - Mistake
Both of you guys are awesome, I wish you had this videos before I would have won more games. Lol
Wow… great tips! Nice video
Great video!
You are a good coach mate!
My buddy use to have the same issue of not putting the ball away when the opportunity arises.
This is gold
winston going to be unstoppable after this lol!!!!
Wow, great tip!
Great tips! :D
Hi Karue, any tips about while moving forward/trying to take the ball early and rushing to the net and then get passed. The idea is to hit inside the court and then come back closer to the base line? Cheers!
I still find that Winston hits it a split second late. I also play 4.5 and also have the same problem. Not an easy habit to correct 😢 gotta keep working on my footwork and timing.
I wonder if it's the experience difference that allows Karue to quickly identify short balls right as they come off the opponent's racquet. I know for me it takes a lot longer to recognize a short ball.
FYI the website for the top 3 mistakes isn't working for me at all.
I have two friends who like you, talk like you and behave like u. Haha I am big fan of your Video materials. I was searching for exactly those answers. Thanks #Karun
Thanks Karue
How will he know that the incoming ball is short or not, what should he be looking at, height , speed?
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!
Really depends on the outcome of the shot. But if the shot prior to it created a big open court space I’d run to the net and make my opponent come up with a pass
@@KaruesellHQ Awesome, thanks man! I put this into practice last night in a match against an opponent that was better than me. I still lost, but I was able to put a lot more pressure on a tough opponent than I usually am able to and got more games than I expected. 3.5 vs low 4.0.
Karue, how much do you charge for a lesson, and where do you teach?
@Karue where'd you get those pants?
So may people fail to realise (me included!) that if you have the opportunity to step in on shorter balls, you're actually going to be hitting a shorter shot back. So trying to mash it at 300% of your normal swing is kind of crazy. Having said that, I swing at shorter balls like a nutter - I just can't help myself!
Where did you purchase the wireless microphone and what brand is it?
Winston becomes a 5.0 just by wearing crew socks.
LETS GOOOOO
hey just a tip, you gotta lower the volume of the intro music
Took 8 minutes to actually get angry with them. 😂😂 😂
Hey Karue, did you back to Vcore 95 6th gen (Tango Red) after playing a while with Vcore 95 7th gen (Scarlet)?
Don’t know why, but Karue reminds of a Tyler Durden all the time 😜
I want to play winston
Go man coach Giron he’s waiting
Was it you hitting with Naomi in her IG video the other day?
