🎾Drop shot of the day🎾Continuing…🎾NUMBER THREE-Look at picture no.3,where you can see a contact point beautifully in front of my body(straight arm completely)as I am continuing transferring my body weight forward and stepping forward with my inside foot (leg)in direction of the ball forward!(picture no.4 and 5🎾Notice my left non hitting arm basically staying on left side of my body for balance purposes during whole volley motion!🎾Good luck with your high volleys guys and ask me any questions if you need to clarify anything please!!🎾Hope I could help you with this one!🎾

🎾Drop shot of the day🎾High forehand volley🎾I want you to look at my volley technique,in this case high volley and I am going to point some important things you should learn from!!🎾NUMBER ONE-Look at my legs and feet first,as I am shifting my body weight completely to my outside foot(leg)!!🎾This is very,very important to do to eventually use the ground properly to push off and create the power without using any back swing with your arm!!🎾Notice my inside foot(left foot)completely in the air as result of complete weight shift to my outside foot!(picture no.2)!!🎾I would also like you to look at my slide leaning forward body posture!🎾This one is also important and it is a result of keeping my body weight on my front feet at all the times, starting in my ready position,with my heels slightly in the air!🎾It is almost like i am falling slightly forvard!🎾All these little weight shiftings and transfers are extremely important and the key to create power without sacrificing on control!!🎾NUMBER TWO-I want you to look at my arm!🎾It is basically fully straight with only slight bent for relaxation purposes!!🎾I hate to see severely bent elbow as it brings your racquet behind your body too much and you loose control on that shot!🎾Lots of even pro players do bent their elbow too much,but i still hate it,as the best volleyers keep their hitting arm straight with only slight bent for relaxation!🎾It is important to see your racquet head in front of of you at all the times and yes,even on high volleys!!🎾No need to bring your racquet back!🎾Proper body weight transfer will be enough to create power on high forehand volley with combination of slight wrist opening(picture no.2)!🎾You can see slight leaning of racquet head back using wrist before contact point!🎾This technique will also add extra power to your high volley without sacrificing on control!🎾Also,with these technique using your wrist,even if your racquet head is leaning slightly back,it is still in front of you and you have a great deal of control of your racquet and the ball at the same time!!🎾The grip you should use on high volley is (cheating continental grip!🎾To be continued…

🎾Drop shot of the day🎾Do not choose extreme grip!🎾This must to do tip is very basic and for beginners!🎾This one is for coaches more then actually for students them selfs!🎾It is important not to choose an extreme grips like western or even semi western when starting teaching kids or adults beginners as well!🎾It will be very difficult to change grips eventually if you get use to extreme grip and struggle with it as result of that choice!🎾Always start with this!🎾1-Have eastern forehand grip(hand shake grip) for your forehand!🎾2-Have continental grip(hammer grip)for your serve,volleys and slice backhand!🎾3-Have continental grip(hammer grip)with combination of eastern grip(hand shake grip)for your two handed backhand!(Bottom hand continental grip,upper hand eastern grip)!🎾That is it!🎾You can make slight grip adjustments as your game progresses and evolves eventually and then it will be a very easy and smooth process!🎾Good luck kids!🎾

🎾Drop shot of the day🎾I recently got involved in studying or more should I say analyzing several current top 100 ATP players in their practices!🎾After just carefully listening to them(5 different players,great players all top 50 to 150ATP!),the way they see their own game in their own words,they really surprised me!🎾I could see a lot of uncertainty,confusion in way of their own identity on court,in way what kind of players they are and what kind of players they want to be!🎾Overthinking!🎾Again,my advice to this guys is very simple🎾1-You need to know and decide(very surprise to learn some of them did not decide yet!)what game you want to play as your A game and consistently work around it with necessarily adjustments but with a clear vision!🎾Stop bothering your heads with 10 things at the same time while playing real matches!🎾You will get lost when it comes to real matches overthinking !🎾2-In your practices-Make it simple!🎾Focus on your serve!🎾Focus on your return!🎾Focus on proper decision making!🎾That is it!🎾Focus on those 3 simple things!🎾1-Serve!🎾2-Return!🎾3-Decision making depending on your self decided identity as player!🎾Now,all these players I analyzed are obviously word class players,but even for them,making it simple could be a game changer and maybe the door to the very top rankings!🎾Good luck to all of them!(All of them from USA 🇺🇸)🎾One more thing,I just want to mention one of my friends and a great former ATP coach who worked at some point with Goran Ivanisievic back in day and he told me:”Tomas,Goran practiced at one point just this way: 2 hours of serve and return!”🎾Then,he would hit cross court and down the line for 20 minutes and that was it!🎾Next day,he would play sets!🎾He knew what player he was and what he needed to practice to win his matches!🎾No time wasted on court in his practices,no overthinking,straight up business!🎾Anyways,I just wanted to share some interesting stuff and the way I see it🎾

🎾Drop shot of the day🎾Follow “1,2,3 backhand sequence”!🎾This so I call “1,2,3 backhand sequence” is to me behind the most important and main reason to create the power on two handed backhand!🎾1-Number one and perhaps the key to start this sequence happens right on beginning with your shoulder turn(take back)when at the same time you are executing your shoulder turn (take back),you shift your body weight to your outside foot (leg),showed on picture!🎾2-Number two will have to do with a body weight transfer,stepping forward into the ball with your inside foot(leg) using your outside foot(leg) to push off the ground and transfer the body weight towards the ball properly that way, only very slightly before the contact point!🎾3-And finally number three.🎾At the moment you start your swinging motion forward,you should focus on short aggressive open up of your left hip(if right handed) continuously extending your arms through the contact point and finishing your stoke over the shoulders!🎾That is it!!🎾What is also important here is to keep balanced during this whole sequence!🎾Now,try to make this one easy for yourself by counting one,two,three in your mind during whole sequence!🎾1-Step outside!🎾 2-Step into the ball!🎾3-Extend arms through the ball and finish!🎾Good luck and ask any questions if needed as I can go through every little detail to explain🎾It is important to understand that this is called “sequence” for reason as well!🎾Good luck🎾

🎾Drop shot of the day🎾Watch the bounce of the ball!🎾There are several important aspects in kinetic chain of strokes to create effortless power starting from the ground up body rotation along with holding your grip loose,arm lever and shifting your body weight forward in process and I have done explaining every single one these to detail before,but this time I want to lighten up somewhat many times forgotten importance of simply “WATCHING THE BALL BOUNCE”!!🎾It is something so important to do to create power and at the same time to take away time from your opponent,that I have to put light on at first!🎾In my junior years,one of my great friends,that I competed against and also we competed together on one team,had an unbelievably powerful forehand that I always wanted to copy from him🎾I would ask him,”how can you dominate with that forehand so effectively with almost no errors consistently and such a power?🎾He told me to always watch the bounce of the ball and never hit the ball later than when it’s bouncing on the way up!!🎾In other words,don’t ever let the ball to be falling down from its peak on top of its bounce 🎾This single tip would be a game changer for me and I practiced it on the wall every day by day for 1000 hours,hitting the ball early bouncing up,until it became a routine for me!🎾I have to mention a man who was the best at it in history of our sport,Andre Agassi!!🎾I also have to mention his coach in his junior years Nick Bollettieri,who was the main force of teaching him this!!🎾Considering Agassi size (he was not a tall guy at all)he was the most dominant ball striker in history of tennis until today!!🎾It took him 1000 of hours to develop!🎾He always watched the bounce of the ball at first!🎾Good luck!🎾 🎾
