  • @tvtriviachampion
    @tvtriviachampion 2 роки тому +31

    Nice breakdown! One element I’d add is to be aware of the server’s dominant spin. Usually a lefty serve spins to your left, righty to your right. When you receive a body serve, accounting for this spin enables you to avoid moving further “into” the trajectory of the ball and jamming yourself. Easier to explain on a whiteboard.

    Super tips, on explaining the timing of the split step on return of serve. I watched the beginning of this video, I overturned a 6-2 and 6-2 lost against an opponent, to winning 6-4. I could see my opponent did not split step and I remembered to do so, in the heat of the game. Following this video, was a big difference in my improved game results. Now I need to overcome fear of not using a 2 handed backhander in a game and just using a slice shot. Many thanks...

  • @paddlepower888
    @paddlepower888 2 роки тому +1

    Hm. Short backswing. Must put this into practice, to get the ball in play vs trying to murder the ball into the net, giving the point away.
    Great to have the footwork so well defined.
    Also, 21:05 advice on ready grip matches mine for 2 handed backhand. Former ready grip was both hands on top in semi-Western, with contact face for both BH & FH facing down (Coco Gauff, but uses Conti for L hand) I couldn't keep my elbows out. Maybe Coco uses Conti-Conti for BH to keep grip change to one hand?
    thank you

  • @halilbolayrl8838

    Hello Ryan ! What about using the flow split step? I mean, would it be better for Berdych to go to his right without lending on his right foot? A second question: I see that some players use 2 consecutive shuffle steps to reach the ball on the return of serve. Is that a method you would recommend or is it better to make a big step towards right or left followed by a crossover step?

    @halfnhalf702 2 роки тому

    Nice content, Ryan, and I appreciate the free content you are providing for beginners. Lots of good fundamentals in here.
    Question about the "sneaky step". Watching you perform it, it seems you are placing your lead foot 90 degrees with or beyond your knee which limits your ability to push off of that leg to drive toward the ball. Was this just for emphasis?
    Footwork videos I've seen in the past say the opposite: to instead fold your foot slightly under your knee which allows you to drive off that leg and lunge further towards the ball.

  • @4justiceagainstevil
    @4justiceagainstevil 2 роки тому

    Question: How to return Aussie serves? For my age (60) I have a solid fast and heavy return of serve against 4-4.5 club level players often winning point right there or the shot after. Recently many started serving Aussie to me, and I wonder if I should go down the line towards the server or cross court towards the volley guy? An ex-division 1 player told me I should mostly go cross-court, as it's a higher percentage shot, my shot has most oomf on it, and my partner is responsible to get the volley shot coming back to us (if it does), while only occasionally mixing it up with down-the-line. Most of my partners though ask me to return down the line to the server. While I oblige to keep them happy, I wonder if that's the correct approach technically. I realize there are many considerations here, so you might want to consider a video on it :), but I would appreciate some quick thoughts on this matter.

  • @AtanazyBazakbal

    I feel I have a great return of serve, a d it is above my service game level and haven't got a bad service game, but I can always rely on returning, I feel my returns are great at neutralising points on bigger serves but when you start reading the serves, I seem to naturally anticipate the serve placement and am able to drill bigger serves with little issues, I was always taught a shorter backswing as my first tip,

  • @cata183
    @cata183 2 роки тому

    Regarding first part of video:
    Is it logical if I say It's impossible to intentionally practice the timing when and where you should be in mid air (before split step).
    A receiver's position during mid air is the result of instinct reacting on how much he/she focuses towards the opponent's action.
    Being in the air while your opponent hits the ball is instinctive reaction. Can this be intentionally practiced?
    Playing more games and reading your opponent well will have your split step timing more accurate. Being in mid air as your opponent hits the ball will come in naturally (instinctively).
    Instinct is a natural reaction. Putting your mind into it will slowdown your reaction.
    Great tutorial video. Thank you.

    @Better_Call_Raul 2 роки тому +1

    The return of serve is the most important shot in tennis. The return of serve is equal in importance to the serve. Some rec players practice serves but very very few practice return of serve. You will see many many free points needlessly given away by not getting easy returns back in play. Free points. 😟 So find a partner who wants to practice his serve while you return them. 1 hour a week. It is the easiest way to raise your level.
