I am from Europe where no one plays pickleball, so I never really understood why you are so much against it. Now I heard the pickleball noise in the background and it’s one of the most annoying sounds ever. I feel for you, American guys.
Thank you. Yeah I hate pickleball also because many of the public tennis courts are now slowly getting converted to pickleball . Also pickleball players while waiting for their courts start playing on tennis courts leading to issues...
You have to admit: NIcks keeps on producing the best tennis content
Vamo Felipe, representa a gente!
Thanks for this. I have the same problem. Lack of confidence in my forehand and serve. I have a great one hand backhand (for the standards I play) and have fully confidence on it (I can wake up at 3am in the morning and hit it decently); the forehand and serve, oh boy..what a struggle to get it right. I know it's the body rotation and the way I use it...the video shows this to me more clearly
This was so great to watch. I could tell immediately that there was too much arm dominance in the forehand. He seems very motivated to improve, looking forward to see how this ends
I feel like part of the thinness of his forehand is also a timing issue, he's almost swinging too early and therefore the strings touch the ball closer to where the racket is taking a more vertical path. Also that's going to be a reason why the wrist unloads prior to hitting the ball just because the hit happens later in the course of the swing
What a great video this is. So many coaching gems. I’ve paid for so many lessons to get this kind of feedback and most coaches just feed you balls and tell you is looking good. Great content.
Great content as always, nice analysis Nick
I had 20 screaming kids on the next door court this morning and it wasn’t as annoying as the pickleball clunking 😡. Great video, thanks to you both👊
Great video Nic! I had a feeling you were saving something special 👍👍 Also 2018 AO Fed sends his regards 😂
Dude is fit. These drills are hard!
man....if this guy travelled all the way from Brazil to work with you....I may have to drive down from Cincy. I've done the drive before to south florida, but really thinking about it now.
Very nice video and great observations and explanations on what you were seeing and what effect it had on the stroke. The thing I love about tennis is at all ability levels only a small of adjustment is needed to completely change the pace, shape, and spin of a stroke. The challenge is identifying the problem and coming up with the correction. This is where having a qualified personal instructor makes all the difference. Well done!
LMAO "I could win ATP guys" 🤣 kudos for Nick for keeping a straight face
I mean winning matches in qualifiers means you’re beating low ranked atp guys…
@@hsy2448 he's not beating anyone that qualifies for the main draw, I guarantee you that
Do you think he's lying or what ? He claimed to have won matches in Futures qualifying rounds where also ATP ranked guys compete...not impossible
@@TenisAmadoryou realize he hasn't played in like 3 years
@@TenisAmadorlook at his video with Nik three years ago
At 5:00, that was a great baseline half-volley. Awesom to watch this level! ❤🎾
wow! what a great series of videos. I am all ears and eyes. How long had Felipe been taking lessons in the past from you Nick? His level looks good. Very athletic guy with strong legs and good movement. So he played Futures in the past. How come that he is still having technical deficiencies on the forehand? My first impression was that he is an advanced rec player, then I saw his backhand and changed my mind🤔. Honestly, I am so confused .... That is probably the reason I keep editing my comment😮💨
I am bettng this video will surely raise some fuss among us.
This video have two great takes for me. The "slap forehand" and not using the body fully in generating top spins. Great points!!! I believe 95% recreational players have more or less, here or there, at least from time to time, these two problems which are the culprits of balls flying out of control. Thank Nick so much for addressing this. Considering the widespread of the problems, may be they deserve another dedicated video? While all ATP players use their bodies fully in generating spins and power, personally I think Wawrinka's forehand body rotation is the simplest and easiest for rec players to study, especially those who have a natural tendency of hitting flatter forehand strokes at the maximum power.
After the finish correction the sound of the ball strike is much better.
Nick, the wrist slapping is Not wrist extension. Extension is what you called “laid back”. Slapping is wrist flexion.
Yes straightening instead of extending, I misspoke there
He looked like he was swinging too hard, so when nick said you can’t go 100% I think it’s because he’s not swinging controlled and relaxed, tennis is about rhythm and timing and not muscling the ball. Tomaz talks about this and uses bands to help players feel hip rotation. The other thing I saw was that he was taking his left hand off the racquet early in the ball drop drill and that played a roll in his contact and control issue, he didn’t looks balanced on some of the shots he missed. I think the problem with this coaching model is nick is telling him “more body involvement and loading” it doesn’t work because he doesn’t know how it feels. You need to add constraints in order to get the athlete to use his body, use bands and medicine balls to teach rotational power of the shoulders and hips so he can feel what it means to use the body. I also feel Felipe was tired and some of the feeds weren’t conducive to good form
I agree and he's just doing more of the same, because he's not understanding the concepts he's been instructed on. He has one gear - basically just going for every shot which anyone can do and on a good day he might get 30% of those in. He needs to develop a forehand he can realistically use under pressure in a match situation and in clutch moments - but he first needs to get the concept and feeling of controlled aggression. Adding to the above comment, he should also focus on keeping his grip loose, and to load correctly. Loading is also all about timing which is crucial, and to get this right, he should use/emphasise the heel to toe method, which allows you to naturally sink down and spring up correctly towards the ball before contact as well as support use of his body more naturally from the momentum generated. He should also work on timing his unit turn prior to the shot (handcuffs on as a guide to use less arm) and swing slower initially (also the arm will be relaxed and whip like if unit turn is timed correctly), then accelerating towards contact (i.e., focusing on good direct clean contact) through the ball/wall and ending round the body (chin to bicep initially to get it right), whilst also keeping the head still (he jerks it up too much during the shot) throughout. In my opinion, as a qualified working coach, he has a lot to work on and I don't think he is at the level he has stated, not with his current service action shown anyway but brave of him to be on this video.
@@user-js5ly2wx4l great point about keeping a loose wrist (but not so loose grip), the whip and lag from the wrist is key but the legs, hips and shoulders are the sources of power
Great series Nik
Vamo Felipee!!!
Nick, Nice video, thank you....I am from Brazil.
🙌
Felipe joga muito!
You are the lord of the tennis
I find whenever I grunt naturally, that's when I elongate my forehand swing path and therefore more penetration.
Hey Nik, again a video that is pure gold...!! Thanks a lot!!
Which white racket do you use, Nick? Is it a Wilson Shift 99?
Around 13:30, where you’re showing him how his hand opens up? Really wish I could see what you’re showing him there, think I’ve the same problem. Would be great if you could make a video about that at some point.
Hey Nick - Thanks so much for the amazing content as always. Can you share your thoughts on what Felipe's level is coming into this? Seems like a 4.5 USTA or like a 6/7 UTR? Just trying to get a sense based on my own game and improvement goals...
Thanks
Ed
5.0-5.5 (he did play 5.0 on the first day for sure)
@23:20 I saw the student's left hand held / touched his lower back for a brief second. I am wondering if he loaded his forehand correctly with his feet or not? Lower back injury happens when many don't know how to use their body to load and for many professionals who overused.
I was watching a tennis instructional online, and the guy says to knock the birthday cap off the head during a serve. What do you think about this advice . Does it actually work or does it make your serve worse.
Felipe has so much power its insane :O
whats the white racket?
Hey coach, I have a hard time spacing my body with the ball. It seems like the ball come toward me even after I move out of the way
Great real life video of a student! I am no coach but I think I got the same issues as Felipe FH. It’s a flow/rhythm and timing issue of the entire FH sequence. Perhaps a shorter more compact “backswing” on the hitting side of the body would help as it cues one to rotate the body into the ball first to generate power rather than a big backswing where it can cue one to slap into the ball.
Anyone know what racquet nick uses?

Hallo Nick 🙂
Denkst du vielleicht drüber nach, in naher Zukunft, Videos zu machen mit Drills/Games für z.B 3er/4er Gruppen?
Ich fände es zumindest sehr interessant. Meiner Meinung nach, ist es auch sehr hilfreich, um die Skills zu verbessern, wenn man nicht nur vom Trainer die Fehler aufgezeigt bekommt, sondern wenn man auch die Möglichkeit hat, diese, live beim Partner selber zu beobachten. Ich erfahre also nicht nur, dass ich zum Beispiel falsch zum Ball stand, sondern die komplette Spielsituation betrachtend, die Gründe warum es dazu kommen konnte, dass ich, am Ende falsch, zum Ball stand.
Das ist selbstverständlich keine Kritik, sondern eine Anfrage zu Erweiterung des Contents. Viele Trainer arbeiten mit Gruppen und eine Anwendung der Videos auf mehrere Trainierende gleichzeitig, ohne die Intensität zu verlieren, wäre natürlich mega.
Schöne Grüße aus Ahaus
Das mache ich nächstes Jahr 🔥🙌
@@IntuitiveTennis die 3 Wochen kann man noch gut abwarten 😂😂😂
His serve grip just looks too far toward eastern to ever get a safe kick serve, doesn't it? It's super high risk (but sometimes high reward I guess!).
There were a couple of them I thought, this guy is about to pull a pancake serve on Nick!😅
I don't know, I feel like the argument of some are genetics are a bit handwaivy but yea you need intensity
Would be interesting to see how Felipe performs against your other students like Emma, Shamir or the Asian guy with the leg injury?
His left hand is too loose, master. In general, he has too much moving parts, but you manage to control it. Great job for student and teacher.
25:30 lol
He thinks he can play against ATP players? Dreaming!
Isn’t Felipe’s ball toss too high? 🤔
I like that "if I have a forehand I can win ATP guys" LOL :D Maybe SLIGHTLY ambitious without a good serve first.
I mean if he's made it to the finals of a futures qualies, it's not crazy to think he could get an ATP point.
@@MttSuddarth I mean I'm just comparing him to like tennis brothers and Nick.
He may also benefit from a string with more bite other than that super smash orange
He plays with technifibre black code
How could someone drop the level so hard like this?
Same question. Felipe looks like a totally different player from him three years ago. His service motion is also drastically different now.
@@Prof.Amateurwhere do you see him playing three years ago?
@@bournejason66 th-cam.com/video/S5HWZyQgEiA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YJWT3ilmyTY11ymP He played with Nick 3 years ago.
@@bournejason66TH-cam search felipe Souza intuitive tennis -- he hangs with Nik in pretty high intensity rallies, albeit edited.
Ask Stefanos
"make it full! thick! long!" i can get on board with that 😂
On the backhand return theres too much backswing. Still, he did well to win 2 games and with a bit of luck he couldve broken Niks serve
"Catastrophic error", "very complex problem", "big concern", "fundamental flaw" etc . It is ok to criticize - but motivation has at least to be as intense imho.
Dijo que podia vencer a jugadores ATP? o lo habia hecho? en futuros?? jajajaj. Con ese derecho incontrolable, imposible. Y aunque no haya jugado hace tres años o mas, se nota que le falta tecnica. No lo se Rick...
His biggest problem in the test-set was/is, that he goes directly on making the point with "shots" and that his quote there is miserable. Too nervous or too insecure ?! Besides, his swing is very short, it is a problem of lots of male players with fast "hands", they rely only on there "muscles" of the arm and not use the hips and the legs for loading...
The damn pickleball noises
Hard to watch this because . Filipe make a disgusting noise when he serve .
Is this player realy "future" level? He looks more like a weekend player....that never hava had any club training.
Rather far from ATP level, even 1000.
