    This lesson was right out of the John McEnroe play book. I hope players watching the start of this video appreciate the control both Nick and Karla demonstrated in the warm up drill. The ability to control and place your volley or ground stroke is more important than pace. I use this drill to start team practice. Karla demonstrated a high skill level on her volley. She is definitely a serious player.

    Can you please make a video on the summary of the forehand with the lag the slice the topspin and all the possible tips you know? Just explain it in brief. The ultimate tutorial to be honest. It would be the most viewed tennis tutorial and it will be super useful for new and regular players who want to get better to go pro or simply have more fun and stop missing every shot. And after each tip add like a court level shot for explanation. Idk if you can or want to and it is totally your own free will but Im trying to give you a useful idea for all the help you are giving us. :)

    Don't want to give my opinion but i cant help but think and mention that it can be so easily underestimated how important this lesson is. Its one of those examples for one of the most natural lessons (tennis or otherwise - even metephorically) to understand and push to understand the possibilities and capabilities of human dynamics and sensitivity keeping a seemingly not so simple yet intentional goal in mind and execution through simplification. Thank you for this video. Beautiful lesson! Your students are lucky to have a teacher to spend time with them like this and capable of this kind of understanding. Again im sorry about making you a bit self-conscious but I just couldn't help it this time and while the comment may seem too exaggerated, it is not because it is true.( All words - bla bla bla, but you know that ofcourse)

  • @baby16gurl9

    When you say absorbed I thought it meant your body absorbs the shot and your hand or wrist just guides the ball. That’s why I noticed thats why she’s moving into the ball more.

  • @nataliaprojekt6232
    @nataliaprojekt6232 2 роки тому

    I've not tried the backspin drop shot yet but I guess what I'd tell her is to try to be more sharp on the ball, in the sense that you don't treat it as 'mildly' as on a regular drop shot, there is less contact on the backspin, and you need as little 'empathy' on the ball as possible in order to generate the back spin, so your contact period is shorter than on a regular drop shot, but still, remember not to hit it, you as if need to protect yourself against the ball, but in a very sophisticated way so it manages to come back over the net. Imagine the ball is on fire, but you are not allowerd to hit it, and you want to protect your racket too. so you give it as little contact as possible, and sharply drop it over the net. that's the feeling I have about it. Actually the word "absorb" covers my lengthy explanation perfectly, it's just it might be difficult to grasp the meaning at the first try of this shot. If my gut is wrong, tell me please :-)

    And I am playing in a pickle ball tournament tomorrow I know it’s Sunday and Hardest shot you have to do is drop shot into the kitchen from the baseline.
    It’s so hard for me because as a tennis player I want to hit it hard back to the person but when I do it pops up and then the other person just slams it on me.
    I told my tennis coach today that I needed to learn how to have soft hands in tennis so I can hopefully apply it to Pickleball I don’t know how this is going to go but I hope it goes well I just find it funny that this video came up when I’m going to do it with my tennis coach today.

    • @Morpheus3353
      @Morpheus3353 2 роки тому

      Hitting a hard third shot in pickleball to get a net approach is totally fine. It just needs to be low across the net, preferably with topspin so it dips in on them. Definitely a little riskier than a third shot drop, but if your third shot drop isn't consistent you can pop it up for them to smash just as easily.

    • @vicplaystennis9158
      @vicplaystennis9158 2 роки тому

      I imagine baseline drop shotting into the kitchen is probably one of the harder shots of pickleball. Maybe just go for a higher percentage drive down the middle, keeping it as low as you safely can.

      You should not try this much backspin on the forehand side. The fundamental of the volley requires keeping the angle between forearm and upper arm. The shoulder joint on the forehand side couldn’t rotate the way on the backhand side.

      Further to what Nik explains in the video, this is also the one time you are allowed to reach over the net to hit the ball. If you're on the receiving end of one of these extreme backspin shots, and it has bounced on your side of the court and has gone back over the net, you are allowed to reach over the net (to your opponent's side) and put it away ... if you can get there of course :)

    Hello Nik.
    In the first sequence of Teaching Karla How to Hit a Backspin Drop Shot the two of you rally for some minutes hitting both ground strokes and volleys. In well over 90% of all shots played by both of you in the sequence you each have only one foot on the ground at the exact moment that you make contact with the ball. Sometimes the left foot, sometimes the right. Sometimes the front foot, sometimes the back foot. Sometimes the inside foot, sometimes the outside foot. But always only one foot on the ground in over 90% of the shots played at the exact moment of contact.
    Nik, could you please comment on this.
    Thanks.

    The reason why it took your student a long time to get it, on top of not being able to do it as well as you, is because your explanation is completely wrong. You tell her to swing downwards, but if you look at your own technique in slow motion, it's obvious that you go forward more than down. I'd say in average your swing is going 60% forward and 40% downwards. Your racket angle, which is dictacting the swing path, was at about 55° if we assume that the racket is at 0° when being perpendicular to the floor.
