What I find amazing is how you can see him improve drastically over the course of this exercise, he starts adding more to his shots (even though he's not technically supposed to), and they have a better shape to them. Just a few minutes of taking it easy, and it's transformed his game; no stress, no mistakes.
My mind is blown - I literally just did this for myself. I strung 2 or 3 disappointing tournaments in a row that shook my confidence. Decided I would literally just stop missing even if it meant taking 75%+ off my shots. To my surprise, I started playing better than ever! I've since been crushing my usual hitting partners in practice. Wish I had a coach like Patrick so it didn't take me an entire summer to realize this.
I hope by 75% off you don't mean decelerating your racquet. Just see how this kid got faster racquet speed compared to the beginning. What he changed is his hitting trajectory.
9:22 I randomly glanced onto a practice court at Indian Wells this weekend and focused my view to realize it was him. My first time attending a tournament. I knew i was in the right place :)
Great advice! My daily warm up routine with my 9 years son is similar: we need rally at least 100 strokes without missing before we go to the other drills. This really helps his consistency in his matches.
sir one request - please arrange a playlist where a begineer can understand the natural progression to train for tennis because all videos are great but they are random so people like me don't get what to improve what and at what time, should we learn service first or forehand or topspin or footwork or like this exercise so please create something which tell a natural progression to learn tennis in a better way. btw thank you very much for this quality content for those who can't afford to train under you.
@@devankpathak5618 I‘m playing tennis now for 14 years and started when I was 5 years old. The biggest progression I made was in the last 3 years when I played much more tennis and played with better players (It doesn’t matter if its training or matches). I dedicate some training to my worst shot, for example my serve is lacking behind and I‘ll train a lot of serves in one session. The next session is then normal again, loads of groundstrokes, volleys and serves. If you have a hitting partner that is better than you, ask for some tips. Sometimes they can greatly improve your tennis, although they are no professional. In general ! Do NOT overcomplicate tennis !. Fun is the biggest factor and if you are having fun, you‘ll improve over time without knowing.
Yes absolutly right not to try to make a scortcut that will backfire . To play tecnical slow but right (meaning consistent with same high margin ) is the fastes way to play fast and right .This takes time, so one has to accept that, but the revard is so much faster and greater when done.
Slow you feel each moment a little better as well and with repetition you just connect so much better to everything. Then you can speed it up without missing out on that bit of data between the seconds
I found that a good method is to count every shot at least until 20, even in matches. The mind want to achieve the goal and you start to play in a consistent way. Most of the time the opponents makes and error before 20 balls anyway...
@patrick - I see the value in this BUT how does one conciliate this mindset with the one from Craig O'Shaunnessy where he says 95% of tennis is 0-4 shots (more or less regardless of level) thus everybody should be practicing serve+1, return+1 patterns...

Except the angles/etc on a wall are not the same as on a court. You can hit a ball that will bounce on a wall, it doesn't mean that the same ball would land in the court. As a result, this makes the wall not so great practice at all....
Always great videos and I get that he's trying to stress a point but the pros practicing hitting and not missing for 30 minutes or only 2 unforced errors in 30 minutes of full power hitting is hilarious. Watched all the top pros practice and even live on occasion. They miss a lot during practice because that's the time to try stuff and the only time acceptable to miss. There are consistency specific drills that the pros do in practice and during those their goal is to make as many balls as possible with good depth and direction. During those drills they will hit with about 75 percent of their capacity and it's that time they use to train their focus. Those drills too should be limited to making say 25 shots in a row. Practice has to be purposeful. You are not training for 40 ball rallies because those are rare and infrequent..play to 25 and then see if you can repeat one more time. You're never going to see 3 , 25 ball rallies back to back to back unless you're playing against a cyborg.
Hm... You're wrong, Sz Ki in that this drill is stupid. You are right that we don't usually see more than 25 ball rallies. This drill is for consistency no matter how many times you have watched pro practice. They have gone way beyond practicing slow ball drills for consistency. Ofc, you will see more UFE in open practice because they are dialing for matches. Most amateurs' balls go everywhere. By doing this drill, we can learn how to hit the ball with same skill more accurately.
Anyone can learn something from this coach...he gives extremely helpful, and uncomplicated points.

Nice idea about consistency over speed when you practice. Don't run when you can't walk. Excellent tip.
Will tell my tennis students this!

Some of us playing more than ten years never realized this. One summer is amazing. Congrats!

Patrick's videos always have so much value. Thank you so much for posting this!
Im going to try this in my next practices.
Very valuable lesson. Don’t run before you can walk. Thank you,

Love this way of thinking. Amazing as always Patrick!
Can't wait for the next video of Ricardo after he comes back with these new tips and practice drills!
This is great to build your mental confidence and when you have a positive mindset it will greatly impact your shots!
Love this video Pat. So encouraging to coach and player. Bravo
one of the most useful and yet basic tips i've ever seen.gonna try it in tonight's session.thanks coach❤❤❤
This is a nice exercise..... this is really part of the foundation. thks
Very good advice. Consistency is the building block of competitive tennis.
This is literally the greatest tennis truth ever spoken.
Así es como se consigue la perfección. El video es perfecto. Felicitaciones al amigo Moratoglu.
Si me podrias explicar en que consiste este ejercicio te lo agradeceria, porque no le entendi a Patrick.
c est la meilleure lesson de tennis que j ai vu
merci
Pure gold.
Missing much too much. Can't wait to try !
Mouratoglou is spot on here 👍🏼

shut up fool
I'll say learn with a good real coach to guide you, don't watch so many videos. Made this mistake too . . Anything ask your coach
@@CarlUsana-o3l I can't afford that and also where i live tennis is not popular so no real coaches here.
@@devankpathak5618 Ok man where you staying ?

Super Video Patrick, merci, thanks
"He accepts to miss much-to-much."
Wow that was absolutely crystal clear coaching and making complete sense of doing this stupid exercise. He is a smart coach :-)
I needed that !!!!
I think, this was the best advice for any level of playing.
gratzie mille coach
@Pat McC :and consistency is the foundation for success in life.!
un bon exercice comme d'hab.! merci
This kid is more tense than a lamb in Greek Easter.
He has good technique and is young. And is learning from a great coach.
Over the net...over the net...again and again, with passion, sweating, trust and focus
Damn Patrick said come back to me after you can hit it over the net
Very nice sir

I like so much lessons of Mister Mouratoglu. And if possible i try to do what he teaches. Thanks from Rome Italy
Consistency is king.

Because to make just one shot you need to be 100 sure you won’t miss it:. 1 shot with consistency, that’s how I see it
thanks !!

bravo!
Best training advice
Grazie
Thank you Sir..I will follow this from tomorrow
Terima kasih videonya terbaik 👍👍
Could we reach the same goal, if this kind of practice was made against the wall, when you don't have a sparring partner?
γειά σου Πατρίκ ! tu es formidable!
Είμαι ελληνίδα παίζω τενις στα 12 και με έχουν βοηθήσει πολύ οι κινήσεις του mouratoglou❤
The best . The most beautiful
I have a hard time switching from forehand to backhand. How can I improve this? Thanks..
Split step and start to get into position as soon as you see the ball leave your opponents strings👍
Very useful !
🖤🔝🖤
It’s NOT ACCEPTABLE to MISS!
I'm getting a default first...
Hope its not too late for me 🤣
changing bad habits takes time.
because you have to play high, I prefer to play low
Same idea with playing on a wall? Hit consistently first, then hit stronger as you become more consistent?
Except the angles/etc on a wall are not the same as on a court. You can hit a ball that will bounce on a wall, it doesn't mean that the same ball would land in the court. As a result, this makes the wall not so great practice at all....

You're never going to see 3 , 25 ball rallies back to back to back unless you're playing against a cyborg.
It’s called time and a place and what the coach and player want. Maybe educate yourself on what purposeful means
@@geza1014 I'd explain further but I charge a fee for circular discussions / difficult students 🤣
@@allboutthemojo oh I’m sure you are very knowledgeable with pro and high level tennis
so how many pros have you coached and what is your atp ranking
