This video shows a kick serve in slow motion from the Ad side using a pinpoint stance. I've always had a 'more than typical' back/hip bend on my serve. This never caused injury and helped to create more torque for the "kick" action. Keeping core and back muscles strong will keep injuries from creeping in for serves.

In this video, the two students are both working on forehand development using 3 simple steps to the fundamentals of a junior forehand. These two are not completely new to tennis. They have a fundamental understanding of things like semi-western grip, gauging distance with the ball and topspin. In this video, more focus will be on simplifying forehand technique into easy, self-diagnosable steps. I have found that when students are taught in a very simple way in steps they can comprehend and apply, they can self correct and it empowers them to have more confidence in making corrections. Steps to 12u Forehand development: 0:02 Step 1: Ready position 0:04 Step 2: Turn sideways (90 degrees or 1/4 turn, racket in same position) 0:22 Step 3: Separate your hands (strings face back fence, non-dominant palm-forward) Then, swing!! 0:53 Swing detail: Racket head drops and end cap of racket leads to contact. Non-dominant hand tucked in by elbow bend. 1:31 Non-pressured Practice. This helps to incorporate the steps of the forehand without having to be on the run or out of position in which fundamentals can break down.

This video shows a portion of a lesson with a self-taught 4.0 tennis player. Our objective was to polish the volley fundamentals to help improve the volleys in live point-play. The student has a great serve and forehand so we are trying to get more confidence in the net-game that will allow for shorter and more aggressive points moving into the Winter season. With enough practice through the next couple months, the end goal is to become a first-strike player heading into the Spring. This is an introductory lesson and one that took place mid-competitve season for the player. There is more to work on but I wanted to give him a couple easy executable steps that wouldn't create too much "thought" when playing points. the following lessons will get more detailed as matches become less frequent in the coming months. Player Profile: -Self-taught -Athletic background [ex-soccer player] -Motivated to improve -Ready to learn new techniques -Currently NTRP 4.0 0:14 Lesson Starts 0:22 NOTE: Elbows up & in front (prevents backswing) 0:39 1) Ready Position with Continental grip 2) Turn the wrist to the side (forehand and backhand) 3) Cross-over step and contact - separate hands for BH volley 0:57 NOTE: Squeeze bottom 3 fingers at contact point 1:16 Practice-Play [half-court]: 1) Start at Service line and make first volley deep into court. 2) Move forward (half-way in box) and play point out. 3) No lobs to emphasize volley. 2:02 Adjustment to LOW VOLLEYS: 1) If volley is above the net band then the racket face is slightly open 2) If volley is below the net band then the racket face opens relative to height of contact point 2:22 NOTE: When closing towards the net, you must end the point. If not, you will likely get lobbed or balls will come too quick to react. The student in the lesson is a very quick learner! He has a very strong drive to improve and has been working extremely hard at his tennis game this year. I appreciate his willingness to be on the channel and his participation in this video. He is very easy to work with and understands concepts quickly which help in the path to mastering the technique. Along with training, he has been working hard to post his match-play with scores not only of singles but mixed doubles as well.

This video is [SITUATION1] part of a collection of on-court practice situations intended for Tennis players across all levels to learn and apply. The video also contains PiP (Picture in Picture) view that can help illustrate how the body weight transfer, rotation, racket path, etc. are adapted per shot. This video will showcase how to effectively utilize the Heavy Topspin DTL-FH and apply it to a repeatable practice situation. This should then stimulate moments to attempt in a match after enough practice and confidence in its application. Here is a link that explains the logic behind the Heavy Topspin DTL-FH and why it's used: https://youtu.be/y1qW74NOqi0 Point-Play Situation: 1] Feed the ball x-court and rally minimum 4 shots 2] Find the moment to hit the Heavy Topspin DTL-FH 3] Take advantage of the weaker ball if/when given Point #1 0:06 Point #2 0:27 Point #3 0:45 Point #4 0:58 Point #5 1:14 Point #6 1:38 Point #7 1:55 My gear Racket: Wilson PS 97 CV https://www.wilson.com/en-us/tennis/rackets/pro-staff-97-cv-tennis-racket With small amount of lead tape at 3, 6, 9.

This video is [TRAINING1] part of a collection of on-court practice moments intended for Tennis players across all levels to learn and apply. In this series, I will focus on a few key elements of my training sessions. In this one, the focus was on small adjustments to the forehand and how it should be solidify a more compact backswing and contact point. 0:00 Training Thoughts | Part 1 Forehand X-Court Warm-up 3-4 mins with focus and intensity. Keep corrections in mind as not much time needs to be spent on this. Work on adjustments and get the feeling of the updated form. Key Focus Points: 0:23 - Keep hitting elbow tucked in more during unit turn and backswing. 1:04 - Keep non-dominant arm out and across body longer and with length. 1:34 - Keep head down longer throughout the contact point and forward swing. CONCLUSION: I really liked how the tighter unit turn felt. It allowed me to hit out on the ball more and helped to keep mis-hits to a minimum. On the flip side, it was a bit tougher to time but I know that's just from lack of repitition. Cross-Court balls were much easier to hit and "late" contact points were quite minimal as well.

This is a practice match I played against a training partner who is rated 9.08 on UTR. My current rating is 10.74 (P). I won the match, 6-2, 6-3. This video has footage of the first set only. Double faults were edited out for the sake of viewing. My current goal is to get the UTR into the 11s by the end of the year. Local singles leagues, specific training, practice matches and losing about 10lbs will help to accomplish that goal. More practice matches will be uploaded as they are played.

This video shows highlight points during a match played between a training partner [TennisTrollChannel] and I [former D2]. This was a collection of some of the best points we played throughout the match. Match Objectives: 1) Utilize FH x-court and heavy FH down-the-line to open court up. 2) Come into net more than usual to shorten points. My opponent typically favors longer exchanges. 3) Utilize Kick serve to backhand to open court up. Change direction to FH ocassionally to throw off opponent. Highlights of the Highlights: 1-2 or 3 Punch: 0:24, 0:33, 3:44 Big Return: 0:40, 1:12, 6:35 Net Points: 0:55, 1:27, 2:44, 3:34, 3:53, 4:15, 4:28, 4:50, 5:33 5:42, 5:54, 6:54 Trick shot FAIL: 1:42 Big FH: 3:00, 4:37, 6:21, 6:43 Here are two links to a Full match: https://youtu.be/JAFfANKNLmQ (set 1) https://youtu.be/lc8Zq1sgYNs (set 2) Here are links to a more match/practice Highlights: https://youtu.be/N1R_tA_7Qow (Synthetic Grass Court) https://youtu.be/BfyLcsWFCaA (Winter Season 5.0 Practice) https://youtu.be/VqKhRLsrJag (Fall Season Prep) https://youtu.be/5JdVYtkfBSA (Side View Points) Thank you to my training partner (TennisTroll) for the great training match!
