    You guys have helped me up my game immensely. Thanks for the great content as always. I like the fact you mentioned that the intentions shouldn’t be to hit a winner. Instead it’s to pressure your opponent and finish with a volley if possible. This was great advice as I would always try hitting with a ton of power towards the line and missing.

    Great video - I noticed that you were using left hand and right hand forehands (no backhands) in the clips at the beginning of the video. Are you naturally ambidextrous (able to use both hands equally well) or did you train your non-dominant hand (and if so, would you recommend others to do the same)?

  • @James-gz6iq
    @James-gz6iq 2 роки тому

    I approach a high ball with a standard semi-western circular up-swing. With the Contact Point on the lower 1/3rd of the strings, then finish with a Carioca-hop. The ball has high top spin, and it kicks up high, forcing the opponent to hit with a weak return, or missing the shot completely.

Even this amazing bit of work, though backhand prep is mentioned, kind of abandons that wing partway through. Would love to see a video on this subject that focuses on putting away those short/high/crazy-making one and two-handed backhand short ball ass-whuppin'!

    hi, great video as always. I got a question again. so all the demos in the video is hitting on the rise. sometimes the incoming ball is loopy or short, so I can't move up in time to catch it on the rise. instead I have to hit it when it is coming down from the peak, but could still be shoulder high. so is there any difference in technique between hitting on the rise and hitting on the descend? i always feel hitting the descend is more difficult to create power and therefore my technique tends to fall apart. any tips for this? thanks again.
