TLDR It is not possible to hit every shot moving into the ball. "No matter where you are hitting the ball from, you have to direct your movement into the ball" - these were the exact words used in the video. This is like saying that you should only hit a forehand and backhand on every ball. Yes, you can play tennis with only forehand and backhand groundstrokes, but you will not know what to do when the situation needs you to to serve, volley, overhead or slice the ball. Similarly, you cannot hit every ball perfectly balanced, and you cannot hit every ball with forward weight transfer. For high levels of play, you will need to learn how to hit off-balanced shots, and back foot shots when your weight is going backwards. Look at this video watch?v=A9E4c9ApSCI of some high level player and count how many shots where she is scrambling for the ball where she is off-balanced, falls backwards just trying to get one more ball over the net.
No discussion on weight transfer??
😂
