- Players put in many hours to study and perfect correct technique, but there's an underlying thread that allows your kinetics to be effective. We layer on concepts involving coordination to master the art of rhythm.
Comment below on what's giving you trouble with rhythm. As mentioned, I will publish another video countering this one. Stay tuned!!!

Hey Steven, great lesson as always! I have a question. Do you think that the height of the backswing should also follow the height of the ball?
Typically a higher bouncing ball means a slower ball so I’d generally take a bigger backswing... bigger meaning more shoulder extension and thus higher... my general guideline is different size backswings based on how fast the ball in coming for ex. a short backswing for fast balls, a medium, and a bigger backswing for slower balls. To ans your question IMO it depends bc for a moderately low/soft slice players still can take a big backswing, thus the racquet in the backswing is much higher than the ball. But if you watched the “don’t take the racquet back early” vid, I believe the unit turn and set position is higher or lower based on the height of the ball, mainly due to how much bend at the hips occur to maintain good posture for higher or lower balls in the strike zone. Think golf.. putting there’s a sharper tilt forward than a hitting a driver. So I don’t think the backswing is smaller on lower balls per say, but the tilt forward at the hips makes it look like the racquet doesn’t some up as high. Kinda an optical illusion. Sorry, long winded but I agree with you in most scenarios.
@@15PointsOfTennis Great explanation 🙂. Thanks a lot Steven 🙂🎾
Great points very thank you
Great ideas. I am not feeling the racket. I will try this. I think it will really help me.
I need this guy as my coach
Me too.
Me too!!!! but I just figured out he is in CA......
Tired of focusing on technique - I feel this may be the right place to focus - follow the ball - up - down - up : ty vm
Great detailed lesson as always! Thank you for the VDO. If you dont mind me asking, do you have degree specialized in teaching or sport medicine or something like that? I ve never seen any tennis coach explain like you before. And I ve watched so many lesson online. In your lesson everything is connected, logical, and make a lot of sense. Keep up!
I do not but thank you. Just trying to share all the concepts I wish I had when I was younger!
15 Points Of Tennis , you are younger! I’m 69 and have now been playing tennis for just under three months Lol... Ona more serious note, I am really enjoying your lessons, tips, and insights. Thank you!
Do you have a Filipino blood eh coach?
Hey Joshua.. actually Chinese :)

I tried this and it changed my whole game overnight! I had all the right things going on with the unit turn, using legs, take back, technique, etc. but I always had zero confidence in my forehand. Rhythm was the missing piece and also something to note whether your counting or saying up down up it forces you to look at the ball more. To add as well on the last "up" after seeing your other video I exhale and it really helped me relax on my shots. Like you mentioned I realized in long rallies I would hold my breath and get tense. Thank you for the tips its really been a game changer for me my hitting partner asked if i took a private lesson in the last week LOL.
Awesome that this concept helped! Works for a lot of my students but don’t see the pros following these guidelines as strictly. Will later talk about playing “off” rhythm to add variation when you attack.
Nice comment. I'm having a TERRIBLE time tracking the ball, I'd say I lose it a good 2-3 metres out! I've tried the time-tested "Bounce-Hit" and even seen drills where you raise and lower your whole body with the bounce of the ball, which doesn't work for me as I am a wheelchair player (we're kinda stuck at the one height). But with this drill, I can use my racket hand to follow the ball. I *LIKE!* I can't wait to try it - God willing, it will force me, as you say, to pay more attention to the ball in those critical last few feet, not to mention smoothing out my rhythm and slowing down my stroke (vs. waiting to long to prepare and then whipping a chicken arm through the stroke). Thanks for your observation, and "Good Tennis" to ya!
Amazing that in my last few years of watching UA-cam tennis lessons from all over and you were the first one to discuss dancing with tennis. Although I’m not much for dancing I have felt the connection to playing my best tennis and flowing much like a dance. The sound of the ball, rhythm..it all starts to groove.
Great stuff!!
i am a piano major. The way I play looks pretty good, but the consistency is not....that well:)) I was thinking so hard to fix it. I feel it is something about the sense of ball. Yes! To be clear, you are right!!!It is the rhythm.None of my coaches points it out like you. There is so many similarity between piano and tennis. Thank you! Your video definitely help!!!
What weight medicine ball would you recommend using? Thanks for this channel it has been extremely helpful.
Depends how strong you are.. some of the younger kids are using 8 but you probably don’t need more than 12. It’s more about getting the flow of the push
Very good observation congrats you have that
I know from experience that playing tennis doesnt need to be too technical and you learn technique better using drills and repetition however your content are really informative ,refreshing and stands apart from all the other tennis instructional vids in youtube.... still everyone who watches this videos should take them with a grain of salt.. learning is still more effective with a coach who knows your deficiency and monitors your progress.... thanks and keep up with the videos
dj Blackwing i could not agree more.
Respect for what you do, actually the trainers with more online viewers did not know how to explain this important aspect. I subscribed to your channel and I am looking forward for other videos.
I LOVE your channel!!!!please keep going on!!!Thank you!!!
Loved the video. The medicine ball analogy for weight shift/acceleration is really helpful.
Amaizing
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. This is what I needed all along for my forehand. You gonna talk about speeding up or slowing down the rhythm of the incoming balls? Thanks
Very nice video...keep it up
speaking of the medecine ball you are in my humble opinion a good doctor
Feeling the force of gravity pushing up... That pretty much sums it up!
I guess start slow feel the rythym then build up speed gradually
Feel the gravity and catch up with rhythm
The concept you are searching for is centrifugal force - that's how you maximize speed, acceleration and power at the tip (racket head) with minimal rhythmic effort
Great video. Just found this channel and its Awesome. Nova Scotia Canada. This guy has the details of tennis down.
I absolutely agreed. His channel is EXTREMELY UNDERRATED
Makes a vid about rhythm being important and saying rhythm is bs in another lol
Put a dampener in your racket. The hum of the undampened racket is cringe worthy. My arm literally hurts when I hear it.
15 minutes of little value. Should be a 3 minute video tops
It helped me immensely... specially him discussing it through in detail to make sure the message goes across and also the examples showing it in action.
