    It's criminal that Sky Kim is not coaching an ATP player right now. With Sky Kim, Hyeon Chung was playing semi-final at AO. Without Sky Kim, Hyeon Chung couldn't buy a win at ATP level. Sky Kim is the most articulate and knowledgeable coach there is. While I have a ton of respect for Mouratoglou, I find Sky Kim's coaching to be simply superior compared to Mouratoglou's method.

    Open stance can be a blessing and a curse. If you have good technique it works, but if not, it robs you of all your power and leads to flick shots. When you are not rushed for a forehand there is nothing like a closed stance shot with the arm pulled back. Bounce - hit, bounce hit.

    Harry it seems 90% of the shots you chose open stance. It makes your body fall back (like you said in the beginning of the video). Try use more semi open or even close stance.

    The different swing which Harry have problems with is not a big issue. It could have happen if the feed to him is inconsistent, or during his play he did not move to the correct position to consistently execute his default swing. However, I did notice his abbreviated swing. He go from zero to a pretty fast swing, which I strongly discourage. As a tennis player, we should never go from stand still to full throttle, especially movement wise.

    I think better not to muscle up. Always shoulder down and hits in front not in front of you so you can utilize your kinetic chain. Relax your wrist so your racket head down before hits. Relaxing your shoulder, wrist and use unit turn, so naturally you gets spinned. Good luck! I love your video, I watch Al the time. Thank you

    I am a rec player. I played in my high school and was taught a little there, then in college was taught by a D1 player, and now just self taught by watching video clips. But as you all can see, nobody hits the same way, so I finally realized that all the technique was really designed to maximize the balance and fluidity, and from there you get easy power and control. It's a lot like martial art actually. You will know it when your strokes are smooth and you're in good balance as you go through the motion of a forehand, backhand, serve, volley, etc... And then the challenge becomes what percentage of shots you can make with good balance and fluidity. And this has to do with conditioning the muscle. This is why pros hit thousands of forehand, backhand, serves, volleys, etc... because that's the only way to get muscle memory, as you have no time to think in a high level match. Without muscle memory, you are not going to achieve the consistent balance and fluidity. Another part that rec players don't often think about is footwork. It doesn't matter what your form is, you need to get to the ball while maintaining balance and fluidity up to the point the ball leaves your racquet. This is not just simply running to the ball. It's more like a choreographed dance. It's why we are taught to do split step, to shuffle our feet, taking small many mini steps to get in position. Then finally it's the mental aspect. Even though when I am in great balance, I can rip forehand and backhand effortlessly, I don't have the confidence I can do that every time, even when I am in great balance for the shot, and just a little hesitancy can cause error. Tennis is a very difficult sport for this reason. You want a perfect game, your conditioning has to last, you have to move around, dancing with the ball like on auto pilot, and your mind has to be kind of zen like. Lacking any of this and doesn't matter if you hit with good technique or not, you're gonna make errors and would lose to players who look like they don't know how to hit a proper stroke. But what they do better than you might be all the other things.

Tennis is rare in that brains and thinking account for a lot towards winning. You can be crafty and play a touch game and be uncoordinated and overweight in tennis and you can end up winning your league title, if you out think your opponent, where real sports like MLB and NFL, its mostly raw talent that allows them to react and perform, there is little thinking, maybe a QB has to use his noggin with play calling and reading defenses, but that's it, MLB is pure talent. Tennis is a good game, a thinking man's and women's game, you apply strategy, placement and outwit the opponent and you can win using a $50 racket, if the opponent is hitting fully functional shots and they look great, they can be blown off the court by someone who is crafty and hit's 40 mph serves.

      @@TimTheMusicMan you used “this is a fact”at the end of your comment, but with all due respect, much of it it has little basis in fact and is highly subjective about what *can* happen…at what sounds like a recreational and not quite competitive level. What you refer to as “talent”, should be replaced with the word practice. Where “crafty” was used, you may be better received if using “strategic” as a more accurate substitute for describing the part of matchplay that requires forethought. But also, anyone playing at or above a USTA 4.0 level, will absolutely not be outdone by 40mph serves (unless underhand with Lots of slice, And the opponent not ready for the point to start)…if they have any amount of respectable conditioning. However if this hypothetical “overweight” person by your words, has great offensive shots of their own (via practice), then they may not need to grind out long rallies. This is probably the variable you were trying to address.. “Uncoordinated” seems an ill fit choice word. Also, the word talent seems to gets thrown around a bit too much by spectators who practice very little, and envy the results of others who’ve practiced their craft more efficiently or effectively.
      Just some food for thought, from someone whose played against college players of every division, and coached kids and seen them go from “unnatural” to what you would describe as “talented” upon spectating.
      Tl;dr: please do not be dismissive of the value of coaching, and practice- be it for technique, conditioning, or matchplay strategy; these are different pieces to the puzzle that *can* unlock wins for the individual player.
