Well done you tested LMNT Electrolytes - i commented on one of your videos recently to try it, how did you find it and also by looking at the ingrediants - how good its it , any other brands you recommend over this = as im curious n looking to improve
Hi, Tennis trainer from switzerland here. We call this situational awareness the "stop light system" basically. It's introduced very early already with kids. Red is defensive, orange neutral, and green is offensive (or as I like to say, there is an option to go aggressive, which does not mean you need to). Now the important thing to remember is that your orange shot might be a red or a green shot for someone else. The priority is to understand when YOU can attack not when the guy next to you could. Plus, you could hit a winner off of a red shot and make a big mistake on your green shot. This does not necessarily indicate that you misjudged a ball, but that you just played well or not well. Further, understanding the broad spectrum of a neutral shot is very important. Usually I say that an orange shot is one that is trying to create a green shot for you at a later stage in the rally. This might even be the case with a green shot. Green doesn't mean instant winner, it means you can apply more pressure to your opponent and hope that the next green ball will be even easier.
Watched this video and found myself watching Djokovic v Fritz and calling out what each shot in a rally should be. It really illustrated how much Djokovic is really just able to dominate with neutral balls in rallies. He's like a python once he gets his grip on a rally it's more often than not his. This channel is such a great resource for players young and old to add things to, as well as think about the game in a different way. Karue is really giving everyone a bunch of cheat codes for how to improve & use tactics better throughout matches. I wish to god there was a resource like this when I was playing juniors. I hope you're all taking notes!
Great video. Great takeaways: We (should) live in neutral and you don't have to keep hitting offensive shots one after the other. You can hit a single offensive shot then go back to neutral.
Hi Karue, not sure if you will see this but all I wanna say is thanks. I have played tennis for 7 years and through tons of coaching, videos and practice. I have t achieved the level I aspired to achieve until I came across your channel. Your guidance and practice have taught me so much that now I am actually comfortable hitting shots and moving faster than ever. I love your videos and I can't thank you enough ❤
Winston- ive seen a bunch of your videos. The drill with Karue where you hit 1 neutral ball back and then pounce on the next ball is where your footwork is the best ive seen for you (i pay attn to it because i am more stationary like u and trying to become more mobile like Karue). Nice work!
This is definitely one of the important elements I need to work on. Great drill to call it out! Really shows that decision making and paying attention to the ball impact how well you play 👍
Karu, this was an excellent, excellent video! I wish more coaches would put out content like this explaining all the different possibilities and ways to go about winning matches and decisions that create mistakes. Thank you for your passion and dedication in helping others to accomplish their dreams and goals on the court.
This video reminded me of a new play pattern ive been having a lot of success with lately. I find a draw an error a lot when I go from hitting several offensive shots and then just throwing in a neutral or even loopy shot and forcing my opponent to go from defense to neutral/offense. People get so used to hitting one type of ball.
This is called breaking up the rythm of your opponent. Can also be done with the serve. In general you can change speed, angle, height, and rotation of your ball to keep your opponent on his toes.
Thanks for the lesson Karue, as usual you provide great advice for all of us. But I insist, have Winston put all those lessons to the test and send him to play tournaments at the 4.5 level.
Great! I predict that would be a hit video. That would also allow Karue to evaluate other aspects of Winston game, such as the mental component. Looking forward to it!
I’m in the UK so we don’t have NTRP. However, Winston seems like a pretty strong 4.5 to me, at least on his ground strokes. Has he played at a higher level in the past?
Aula muito Boa Karue! Fundamentos básicos indispensáveis para otimização das possibilidades dentro do ponto. Mas o q me chama mais atenção na sua aula é o modo como você se desloca com leveza pela quadra fazendo parecer fácil a batida e como você parece ter sempre tempo para escolher o golpe certo para cada batida! Feliz com seu retorno aos torneios ATP! Manda ver!!
Thank you Karel for the instruction. My forehand and backhand strokes are too often hit offensively (flat), and the stroke tactics, court position, and stroke decision-making will be put into practice with my hitting partners. Obrigado pela instrucao de tenis util e omportante!
Identifying attacking opportunities is such an under-discussed aspect of tennis mental game. Great video! Maybe as a follow-up, could you do a video on "point-construction"? I hear this term often, but don't actually understand what it means in practice. It's something like "sequencing shots with the right spin, trajectory, angle, pace to force an offensive opportunity" but how? Is it just a matter of hitting alternating corners to make the opponent run?
I think getting into that becomes just "engineering". Tennis is fluid. It is impossible to define what is the ball you are going to hit, because there are just endless opportunities of the shots you are going to receive. Point constructions depends on your opponent. Is he heavy? Can he run and hit well angled ball that make him come up instead of only staying side to side? Is he consistent or does he rush shots going for difficult winners? Is he a "pusher"? IMO point construction can't really be thaught in an obvjective manner. You need awareness on what are your opponent weaknesses, on how your balls are impacting your opponent and with that info create a gameplan that can benefit from that information. It is WAY easier said than done. Or you could spend all day with Wardlaw Directionals, and live with that. The key point? Fitness. If you are able to improve your fitness, you will be in a better position every single time. We tend to overlook stuff and trying to dig into complex things when correcting the simple and basic usually is the answer.
It’s really not as deep as the guy above is making it. Especially at the rec level. It’s basically having “plays” or sequences in your head that you initiate when you get certain balls. I almost exclusively hit neutral balls until I can roll a deep top spin ball DTL to the backhand. That will usually illicit a shorter ball at which point my “play” starts. Should they go back down the line then short angle crosscourt , finish volley if they manage to get to it. If they send a weak ball back from a poor backhand I drop shot only because it’s my specialty but you play to your strengths at that point. But like Karue says, it’s about the ball that’s coming to you so it doesn’t always work. I may not get the short ball. I may not hit a great angle crosscourt. If it doesn’t go as planned you reset the point hitting neutral until you can restart the sequence. The lower the player level the less amount of plays you should have in your head. 1-2 max at 3.5-4.0 and you’ll win more matches simply because you take the indecision out of your game. Obviously more options when you’re 4.5 and up. You’ll have plenty of chances outside of your “play” to end points but that’s based off your opponent’s mistakes that you didn’t force. Those again are a matter of court position (both of you) and what your strong suits are. Watch Iga and you’ll see how few plays she runs which is by her coaches design. She was too indecisive so he removed drop shots entirely from her game and only recently encouraged more volleys. Check out the MTHQ video for this same sequence. m.ua-cam.com/video/Qc45HyziCX4/v-deo.html
Wauw, again you deliver top notch tennis tips and another good tennis video. Thanks;) I am planning on trying to live I California and currently I play tennis in Denmark. Do you know any tennis clubs that could give lots of tennis sessions for an advanced player ?

I think sometimes the tricky bit is to differentiate between a ball that you should play neutrally and a ball that you should play offensively especially near the baseline. Its clear the you can hit an offensive shot when you are stepping well into the court, however at the baseline, its not very clear yet when to play neutral vs offensive - it looked like even Winston was unsure of that couple of times - may be it can be the next video?
interesting on the LMNT stuff having no sugar, do they have a suger option? I mention it because my understanding is that glucose is a large part of the body absorbing the salts and other minerals to re-hydrate. I wonder what they use instead?
Hi Karue. Just wanted to comment that Winston’s forehand at times looks unstable. Noticed that his right foot often lifts off when he does a forehand. This seems to indicate that he may not be turning his upper torso and then naturally letting his lower torso keep up. Your forehand seems much more relaxed and smooth and I can see that your feet stays more grounded as well and naturally turns after you do a forehand. Kinda like taking a golf swing when you let your right foot heel up a bit after you take a swing. Anyway just my observation, maybe totally wrong. I have this tendency to do like what Winston does and only noticed it when I watched a video of myself doing forehands.
Hello, good afternoon over there. Thank you for your free assistance on this platform; it's been really helpful for me. I'm writing to inquire if there's a possibility to get in touch with you to propose something that I believe could add a lot to your work. Greetings from Argentina, and I hope you're doing great.

You need to do a new video on loading the heel, or heel to toe. That old video is great but I think it needs expanding. It’s a huge piece of the puzzle missing in a lot of amateurs thought process.
Interesting that Karue made the call on shot type much earlier than Winston. The quick decision making then allowed more time for everything else to execute smoothly (stroke mechanics, directional control, etc.). Anyway to improve decision making speed aside from playing a 1000 matches?
a leitura de bola e a capacidade de execução do Karu é incrível kkkkk, até parei o vídeo nos 2 min pra escrever, claro q pra alguem do nível dele é simples, mas ainda assim muito legal de ver Karu's ball reading and execution is incredible kkkkk, I even stopped the video at 2 min to write about, of course that in his level this is very simple, but still so cool to watch abraço do Brasil
Wow, here i can see how karue thinks. I would call most of the shots to be neutral & def, but in some karue's cases, he often decided to offense instead.
@MYTENNISHQ - i'd love to be able to share a tip that i used to help players make these decisions faster: there are three elements to what determines a an opportunity: - court position (the obvious one) - contact point (below/above hip/shoulder, in front/behind body) - balance (sometimes less obvious, but perhaps the most important one honestly.) these variables depend on the player, for rafa obviously, he can have a low contact point and deep positioning but still whip a forehand. (hence why i think balance is often the most important one even though it's the least obvious.) players find out that i love to hit a flat offensive ball of high balls because that's a shot i learned. however, once a player decides what is good-bad for them amongst these three, they can then use simple rules, like "if i have 2/3, that's neutral; 3/3 offense; 1/3 defense; 0/3 defense"
Good drills + advice but too tough. Winston is very fit but still made mistakes. I would be out of juice after the first drill. I can't play singles anymore....
Enjoyed the lesson? Don’t forget to smash that like button, it really helps the channel!
Smashed hard bruh
i will smash it on the backhand side of the oponent.
is this at South Bay Tennis Center in Torrance?
@@IGNSanitydefinitely is lol

2:35 was SMOOTH
Great video. Great takeaways: We (should) live in neutral and you don't have to keep hitting offensive shots one after the other. You can hit a single offensive shot then go back to neutral.
true, but if your offensive shot makes you have another easy ball then don't be afraid to do offensive, otherwise you would lose a chance to attack.
You're playing really well Winston! Keep it up
It's so nice seeing Winston step into shots more now. He used to have such an off the back foot, grinder game.
do some nice Vuori-style, minimal tennis clothing before strings - I'd pay good money for that. Way too many string brands on the market
Same
Yes
Agreed ....tees with tennis slogans: Bullshit Russian, You're a little kid who doesn't know how to fight can really take off.
Id buy
Yup!!
forehands look kinda nice tho 😎
The most helpful video I've seen for 4.0 + players. Thanks.
Hi Karue, not sure if you will see this but all I wanna say is thanks. I have played tennis for 7 years and through tons of coaching, videos and practice. I have t achieved the level I aspired to achieve until I came across your channel. Your guidance and practice have taught me so much that now I am actually comfortable hitting shots and moving faster than ever. I love your videos and I can't thank you enough ❤
Sell is a great coach. I enjoyed watching him feeding the ball to Winston. Clear feedback and supportive call.
Will work on this. It should be really helpful for my game. Thanks!

Great lesson, Karue! Winston Du"s game looks much better.
This is definitely one of the important elements I need to work on. Great drill to call it out! Really shows that decision making and paying attention to the ball impact how well you play 👍
Really enjoyed the lesson, like that it comes from real practice , helping u to build and upgrade ur own game
Karu, this was an excellent, excellent video!

Great way to think about tennis points, I wish this had been part of my training.
As an aggressive baseliner, this is great tips for trying to improve my game.
Good stuff. At 4.5 the Pete Sampras running defense to offense fearhand or the Meddy/Fed squash are doable from the corner if you wanna flex on em.
Thanks for the lesson Karue, as usual you provide great advice for all of us. But I insist, have Winston put all those lessons to the test and send him to play tournaments at the 4.5 level.
if Karue could come with to film and coach that could be a good video idea
Definitely down
Great! I predict that would be a hit video. That would also allow Karue to evaluate other aspects of Winston game, such as the mental component. Looking forward to it!
Go for it!@@WinstonDu
I’m in the UK so we don’t have NTRP. However, Winston seems like a pretty strong 4.5 to me, at least on his ground strokes. Has he played at a higher level in the past?

This is expensive coaching. Love it. Thanks Karue, Winston and hitting partner.
Karue, your videos are great! I just watched two videos and so much I can work on my game. Thanks
One of the best videos I have seen. Keep it up.😀
Great video for intermediate players who want to step up!
Great drill! I will definitely do it myself and with my students!
Amazing explanation!!! Thanks!!

That's a good lesson experience for me to learn. I enjoyed the video. Thanks.
i like the last tip, don't really have to run to my forehand if I have a good backhand
I love the advice is catered to each player's style. Great stuff.
This lesson is really important stuff that does not get enough attention. I will definitely be working on this.
wow winston's footwork has improved!! good work you two!
Can you nake a video reacting to your old matches? And maybe going through things you do better now compared to back then?
Can you encourage Winston to play in the upcoming USTA tournaments? that'd be very interesting to watch
Great that your “flat” graphic still has some upward swing path. Nice work coach!
Extremely helpful. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
4:33 major advice. Great exercise to name the shot before the hit
Winston! You play like a GOAT, what a development!
Really helpful. Thanks so much.
My coaches never make us play NEUTRAL. it s alway defense/offense...
Wauw, again you deliver top notch tennis tips and another good tennis video. Thanks;)
I am planning on trying to
live I California and currently I play tennis in Denmark.
Do you know any tennis clubs that could give lots of tennis sessions for an advanced player ?
LMNT is actually so good
Short socks but definitely acceptable socks at last. That’s also part of the next step. Well done Winston. Playing really nice.
great stuff
Hi Karue, Great lesson! I love ur videos. Is there a way to have a private lesson? Do you come to Tampa sometimes? Cheers.
Best video so far, great job!
Great topic!
great video. going to try this next time out
Great video, now I how to beat Holger as well.
Wow Winston's striking has gotten crisp!

Great video! This will help out Juniors and Rec players a ton!
the video is so good!! 😄😄😄

Hi Karue. Just wanted to comment that Winston’s forehand at times looks unstable. Noticed that his right foot often lifts off when he does a forehand.

That was a cool lesson! Can't you fly to germany and teach me the same please ;D
Incrível 👏
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiim
Winston looks like he actually is good in this video. All his videos hes playing against guys way yo good for him.
You need to do a new video on loading the heel, or heel to toe. That old video is great but I think it needs expanding. It’s a huge piece of the puzzle missing in a lot of amateurs thought process.
Interesting that Karue made the call on shot type much earlier than Winston. The quick decision making then allowed more time for everything else to execute smoothly (stroke mechanics, directional control, etc.). Anyway to improve decision making speed aside from playing a 1000 matches?
nope. There is no hack. You need to do this every time you are on court until it becomes completely second nature
Lets all appreciate Winston have socks on😂
The coaching style is so good
a leitura de bola e a capacidade de execução do Karu é incrível kkkkk, até parei o vídeo nos 2 min pra escrever, claro q pra alguem do nível dele é simples, mas ainda assim muito legal de ver
Karu's ball reading and execution is incredible kkkkk, I even stopped the video at 2 min to write about, of course that in his level this is very simple, but still so cool to watch
abraço do Brasil
Help Winston with his serve!
Wow, here i can see how karue thinks. I would call most of the shots to be neutral & def, but in some karue's cases, he often decided to offense instead.
Great video! You would such a great coach to work with
I like Winston’s hair cut.
I wish you could train with you in person. One day maybe..
go go go 3k likes . Support support 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@MYTENNISHQ - i'd love to be able to share a tip that i used to help players make these decisions faster: there are three elements to what determines a an opportunity:
- court position (the obvious one)
- contact point (below/above hip/shoulder, in front/behind body)
- balance (sometimes less obvious, but perhaps the most important one honestly.)
these variables depend on the player, for rafa obviously, he can have a low contact point and deep positioning but still whip a forehand. (hence why i think balance is often the most important one even though it's the least obvious.) players find out that i love to hit a flat offensive ball of high balls because that's a shot i learned.
however, once a player decides what is good-bad for them amongst these three, they can then use simple rules, like "if i have 2/3, that's neutral; 3/3 offense; 1/3 defense; 0/3 defense"
Será que a LMNT manda pro Brasil Karue!!! KKKK
👏 👏
Congrats. You got Winston to wear higher socks. Next step Crew?
Good drills + advice but too tough. Winston is very fit but still made mistakes. I would be out of juice after the first drill. I can't play singles anymore....
👏🏻 👏🏻
Winston using higher socks! NO WAY! KARUE MADE IT HAPPEN!
Letssss gooooo
is Winston getting bigger or just the haircut lol
man i bet that club costs a fortune to play at
still i think he is too stiff in swing, elbow or something, he rushs!!!!
trying to topspin a slice short ball its delusional
Take home message: almost always neutral lol.
