    This is one of the best tips i have ever heard. It seem like an obvious pattern mistake but players do this all the time without thinking

    Tip: Don't try to hit down the line when you're going out of position. Instead always try to hit cross court shot to defense

    Here is my move: I go DTL with a high loopy FH. This gives me time to recover to the middle, gets the rally onto my opponent's BH, and keeps my opponent from attacking the ball. I anticipate the CC response and position myself to run around my BH and hit an inside out FH and take control of the point.

    So true about attempting to go down the line, an added liability is that you're hitting over the higher point of the net, so your down-the-line could easily get buried in the net. Believe me, I know.

    This is a very good tip. One problem I constantly see however is that while tennis teachers expect all 4 / 4.5 players to be consistently hitting cross court, most of the players I play have no consistent pattern and drop balls all over the court with no real strategy. Cross court rallies are less common than people think

    • @soppliger
      @soppliger 2 роки тому +6

      I completely agree. At the 3.5 level in my part of the country, the vast majority of singles players have unorthodox technique and are hitting absolute garbage shots that no one trains for - spinny junk balls, upside-down forehands as backhands, zero pace, 100% side-spin garbage, 100% lobs, etc. etc. Many of these players seem to have also developed a complete mastery of what I'll call the "lucky AF shots" - winning a dozen points per match on net cord balls, framed bloopers that manage to go in 6 inches over the net, an innate ability to place stretched-out, backhand, defensive lobs within a foot of the service line when you come to the net after hitting a great cross court shot... Tennis coaches don't spend an afternoon hitting garbage at you or testing your mental toughness by charging the net on every single play or by calling any serve near the line as "out". I hit great with my coach and with 4.0+ players - I routinely beat 4.0 singles players, but I can't seem to crawl out of the 3.5 ooze of garbage because I consistently lose against all this unconventional junk that permeates 3.5 singles.

      This resonates. In matches I will win the best point, make anyone watching turn their head to think I'm winning and play well... but I'm just not a match winner. It must be something mental. Not an active thought but I need to see myself winning tournaments and not some fictional version of myself that I can't identify with when playing somehow. I sound like some mental guru now but yeah... I need to win more!!

    I have legitimately done this at least once a day most of the days I've played this year. As I get more confident in hitting my targets it makes it even more tempting to go for the low percentage shots and shockingly they usually don't work out well.
    I found your video on the 4x4 rule for shot selection super helpful. I play a baseline style and so actively trying to flatten out my clearance when I am pulled into the court more has helped me win a lot more points recently. I had been striking a lot of those still with lots of top spin which gave my opponents time to get to balls that should have been winners. Shot selection and positioning is something club players really under-estimate. We've all lost games to people who have inferior technique but make better decisions. Well I certainly have. :/

    • @Playyourcourt
      @Playyourcourt  3 роки тому +2

      Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear the 4x4 instruction helped! No doubt we've all taken losses to opponents with better tactics on the court. The goal is to learn from those opponents and improve the weaknesses they exploited. Knowing who we are as a player is one of the most valuable assets we have. Sounds like your on the right path my man!

  • @huntsail3727

    Good point, did not think about the option of hitting a high shot down the line to get out of the cross court rally, get the ball to the opponent's backhand, and have time to recover. Good job.

    Hey scott and nate I am 5 feet 7 inches and I am an advanced tennis player . I had two questions -
    1. I can hit both type of backhands comfortably , so if I gave both you to chose a faster and a deadlier type of backhand ?
    2. I have my racket head speed is slow even I have lag and snap , I pause my arm at 5.30 clock position but still lack speed on ball , so what should I do because I choke a lot too?
    3. Also which equipment is better dumbbells or toning resistance bands of same resistance level ?

    • @Playyourcourt
      @Playyourcourt  3 роки тому +1

      Hi ishv, as you can imagine our bandwidth is unfortunately pretty limited to answer very detailed questions. I'll do my best to help you out here though. 1. Are you referring to choosing between a one-hander and a two-hander? 2. You really don't want to "pause" the racket on the backswing. The lag is initiated due to the upper body uncoiling before the lower body causing the racquet to lag. 3. Both tools are great for exercise but I prefer toning bands due to the variety of exercises that are accessible and their ability to be used for physical therapy and injury prevention. Hope this helps!

    very true the mistake happens a lot. its just so tempting rip the ball down the line. my question is, how to win that cross court battle? any better option to put pressure on opponent? or just see who misses first? cheers ✌️

    • @Playyourcourt
      @Playyourcourt  2 роки тому +1

      Great question, ideally we force them into a error using depth, spin, pace etc. A lot of times players will be impatient and try to change directions resulting in an error. More frequently we'll force a short or weak ball from our opponent i nwhich we can then attack off of. Playing deep through the middle is also a solid tactic! Thanks for watching

    Your own argumentation destroys your... argument. Just like our opponent will be around the middle when we hit down the line, so will we be around the middle when he "rips" it cross-court. And just like we can't hit the corner with precision, he also can't hit our corner, especially with his weaker backhand if we both are righties. Same rules apply to both players. Truth is, hitting back to your opponent is always the worse placement decision you can make. Make your opponent work, don't give him the luxury of time to prepare and optimize his next shot.

    • @cheefussmith9380
      @cheefussmith9380 День тому

      No. Hitting the down the line shot in this situation, unless hit perfectly, tends to lack depth and goes right to where your opponent can get in a few steps. Since the distance is shorter, less time has passed for you to recover so there is more open court available to your opponent.
