I wonder if the student knows about the video and can check her own movements and lesson on this platform. Awesome Job coach!

    Thank you for posting this video. I started playing when I was 10, and now I’m trying to teach my sons. I remember being taught to start in a closed stance with the racquet all the way back and strike with one long forward motion. My sons are whiffing and getting wristy swings. I’m going to try this open stance with racquet lined up already . It makes sense that its easier to line up the racquet head and ball in an open stance for first timers.

    @kevinarmes9804 3 роки тому +7

    Very interesting approach of starting almost at contact point and just showing the forward motion. And later letting her take a little more backswing to gain racquet speed. I guess it simplifies a little more. I do like allowing the beginner to start a little bit farther back, but I completely agree it is easier to add to the swing than take away if they start doing things wrong. Really good job! Spot on as usual.
    I mean look at her at 9:30, she is hitting smoothly with topspin and following through correctly, correct grip, looks natural... I mean results don't lie. I have never gotten a true beginner with results that clean that quickly.

    Very well done lesson. Keeping it simple. Just questions about the serve portion. For the forehand and backhand you showed your student the correct grip. In the video there was no mention of the continental grip on the serve and it looked like she was using the forehand grip. Was that intentional or did you just cut out of the video a discussion of the grip for the serve? So do you feel for a beginner it is a step too far to ask them to use a continental grip? Thanks.

  • @Fernwald84
    @Fernwald84 3 роки тому

    Nik: Can you explain why tennis coaches teach the groundstrokes before the volley? I would think it is better for beginners to start with the volley since (1) it is mechanically a much simpler stroke and (2) it reduces the most difficult challenge in tennis--predicting exactly where the ball will be when I go to strike it. The volley removes the variables of court surface and largely reduces the issue of reading ball spin because the ball is struck before it hits the court surface. I would think that women beginners would benefit from starting with the volley even more than men because women tend to have played fewer (or no) ball sports as youngsters and this increases their challenge in predicting ball behavior after bouncing.

    You can build a bad muscle memory on the grip ?

    Just curious. Are you wearing a magnetic bracelet? If so. Does it work? I have shoulder pain!

      I’ve been wearing magnetic bracelets for 30 years. Not sure if it works, but so far so good

    Am a rank beginner who has taken lessons, but I keep sending my forehands to the neighboring courts, like a baseball line drive., What could I be doing wrong?

    Do we always have to change the grip when doing backhand?
