"Lost 1 and 1 to a pusher but MAN, I was hitting hard today!" hahhahahahhahaha, Karue the jokester lighting people up this morning
Hope people can take the joke heheh
That was subtle and super funny at the same time!
Yeah I cracked up at that part too.
@@MyTennisHQ Yeah you got to push the pusher all off the court, not hit back more harder to them on the baseline.
Best tips ever pretty sure he simplifies all the things hes found to be essential through out his career and explain it to us in an exceptional way. also has a beautiful and robust game to back it up. Glad I can see your videos, regards from the caribbean.
thank you! That is exactly my goal. Couldn’t have said it better. Thank you for watching
@@MyTennisHQ Kareu I'm not at your level, but I keep one of my fingers off the grip on my forehand on purpose in order to sabotage half the power in the strings so they dont' jump the ball with too much power, its not that I can't hit the ball at 115-120 mph and just smoke the ball I can, but its because I don't have tight enough spin to always maintain that max high power level for very long.
But putting all my fingers on the grip to push the pedal all down to the metal at a 90-100% power level the spin just becomes all loose and weak and is more harder to keep on maintaining, so I drop the power level down to a level where I can always keep the tight spin on the ball... That's why I have the finger off also off on my serves to kill the power level to increase up all the RPMS instead on the ball.. Because I can't do any tight spin when using full 90-100% blast power with any tight tension because tension causes me to overcook the serves with far too much power with LOOSER SPIN and the the ball starts overcooking the lines.. So I have to take the tension off in order to generate more faster tighter spin on the serve.
This is my new favorite tennis lesson! I am going to watch this one a lot!
Golden content as always, this is fast becoming the best tennis channel on YT, if not already there!
Thank you!
Great lesson for all Karue. Thank you!
Youre a really good teacher!! Good stuff man! It all came together for me.
Fantastic lesson Karue. Really concise explanation of the basis of power and getting it downhill.
Thank you!
Amazing video !
Beautiful groundstrokes !
Always amazing video!
Great video! Would love to see more serve videos from you as well. Still my go-to channel to refer students / friends to.
appreciate it! Thanks for watching
@@MyTennisHQ Do you disguise your swings? For I was coached Federer's backhand style and and once i learnt how to generate pace with both the slice and flat I disguised my slice to look like normal flat drive. Now people can't tell what drive it is I'm doing when using the same swing. I do use across the body for slice sometimes but I like like it better when I can disguise the ball to look the same when the flat or slice drive crosses the net. I think I know why Federer was hard to read on the court. I haven't disguised my forehand yet so everyone can still read the racquet.
Awesome lesson Karue! Would love to see a few lessons on the serve on how to get consistent and effortless power and how to time everything properly👍
It’s all in the feet
Love it Karue! Effective and consistent power, no impossible/stupid cheat codes, just plain work to achieve quality!
that is always the goal. Can’t cheat work at the end of the day
Great lesson, I used to play a lot till I was 15 and had to stop playing then, I am 33 now and started playing and in love with the sport again. I watched almost all the good lessons on TH-cam, which are all really good, but you would find some overlap between different lessons surely! This, on the other hand is completely fresh and I haven't seen any videos covering what was covered in this video. This is a really important lesson at a fundamental level. Thank you for this!
Thank you very much. Happy we could help. Our goal is to make tennis easier and more fun to learn! Thanks for watching
What a lesson! Thanks for the inspiration Karue!
thank you!
Your videos are great man!! let's go on!
great lesson Karue, will give it a try. that's one cool looking mural on the wall behind
Thanks, Karue. I really like the medicine ball drill and will certainly try that. I have arthritic knees so I’m hoping is exercise will help strengthen the necessary muscles and get that drive forward into muscle memory.
That's great tips for power thanks!
GREAT stuff.... I used to practice with a 17 pound MB. Too heavy provably but it did the job.
This lesson was amazing! With the one exploding towards your target part, I'd like to view to the over-rotation as a little lag after going towards the target because it's likely that you have to get back into position in time and balance your body after the stroke. This drill with the medicine ball really shows/ feels if you are doing the stroke right.
medicine ball throws are perfect to really understand the feel of a tennis shot
Gonna try this, thanks Canoe!
Thanks, you are the best trainer...🎾
thank you!
I love the fact you're providing a lot of content that combines knowledge/theory with specific, often advanced drills. Anyway, can you speak a bit more about down and up motion when heating groundstrokes? I think it's really important in the context of this exercise
I think If you focused more on the elbow abduction and the wrist flexion of the scapular domini you’ll get more wrist lag and more Federer power🥸
Great lesson karue. We all know those insta phonies hahaha
😂
Great lesson Karue. This is exactly what I've been working on myself.
Keep up! That is where true power comes from
@@MyTennisHQ why not the front leg though in a neutral or closed stance? That feels like it turns the hips, but I'll certainly defer to your knowledge. Specifically the one handed backhand.
@@photobearcmh you don't have momentum when you are doing the swing if you press on your front leg
that's a good lesson and practise
Great content. It’s funny that as much time I’ve spent doing ‘hard work’ in the gym, I’ve not correlated the use of a medicine ball with power generation on my groundstrokes.
Thx,
t.
i love this video
Vamos Karue! ❤
great video! did I miss the medicine ball link? how many pounds are you using?
Good take on it Karue. It can be replicated on serves as well.
absolutely
Damn this is some golden info
Hi Karue, great content always👍 any tips on how to hit it clean with incoming ball has heavy top spin? I definitely hit more consistently and more clean with less spin balls. But want to get better hitting with opponent who has good top spin! Thanks!
Hi Karue, always enjoy your content and appreciate your help! I know you talked about how important timing is to the load etc...but could you talk to us about how you work on this timing? What are you using to judge when you start and release etc...? Thanks!!!
if you use a medicine ball you will feel the timing. Just think about it this way, you don’t want any awkward pauses. From the moment you start your unit turn to the moment you hit the ball it should be one fluid motion. Not too early, not too late. The issue is, the ball comes to you at different speeds so you need to adjust accordingly
@@MyTennisHQ agreed. Some have insane natural ability to do this with a 90mph incoming. Rest of us need thousands of reps. Great vid btw
Great Lesson Karue. You mentioned you are providing a link for the medicine ball but I can't see it. Can you share again please?
That intro was hilarious lol
Hahah thank you!
thats great information Karue, I figured it out recently by mistake and been trying to get better to the concept, indeed the timing is a bit difficult but when everything locks in, the result is revealing! I dont know if it helps but I visualize that the push is initiated using the buttock 😃😃
Best intro!! Haha
Hi Karue! Do you have lessons on tactics on court?
Love the medicine ball to live ball drill, hopefully find someone to do it with!
you can do it yourself. Just throw the ball into a wall
amazing
You did well on the outside leg and hip area as the initial sources of power in that order. But you missed mentioning the torso and shoulders turning around and forward to finally release that tremendous power into the shot.
Hahahahah I know exactly who you're are referring to with that video about comparing himself to Alcaraz forehand 🤣🤣🤣 (I can picture it rn), although you won't say it you're too nice. Great video as always!
Karue, how to send back deep balls when you are on a run to get them? Those that you can't hit with your groundstrokes, and pros return them deep with a slice that looks so easy.
Love the idea of using a medicine ball for this. And a bonus is that it's a great warm-up for any type of workout, not just tennis.
Yep. Medicine ball is a staple in tennis training. Everyone at all levels, juniors, college and pros use it!
Those greens look like a good idea. Great lesson again all facts. Division 1 bound student athletes right there.
Good luck on your journey! It is a great time
Kaurueee!! Thanks, with this video i killed one opponent that is a pusher... Now my forehand is so reliable... Now i have to train my one handed backhand!!! I would like to go to Eeuu and play a match with you hehe... I am from Spain!!!
#4 is the hardest one for me to do consistently, I also think it's the most important.
5:39 fire beat 🔥
Hey, I was just wondering if you could make a Tennis stereotypes video? Thanks for the content🎉
So glad I found this video. One of the best instructional video on how to generate more power on ground strokes. So comprehensive. Thanks.
Did you also do a video on Serve too? Please link. Happy 2024 :):)
Browse our library. Plenty of serve videos
I sure will. Thanks.@@MyTennisHQ
oh man, what an amazing vid. I gotta go buy a medacine ball
I think the "aha!" moment for me was when he said "pushing off the ground". I was always using my arms to generate all the power. While it works, it also drains me in no time flat. I shall try this on my forehand next time. I've got some doubt on my backhand side though, since its a single-hander instead of a double. Does the single-hander also utilise power from the lower body to push off the ground? Or does the single-hander get power from another source?
Great example, in boxing the same principals apply, and some of the same training techniques.
The differences stemming from the differences in footwork and rotation between hitting a ground stroke and throwing punch. The power comes from the legs pushing off the ground, rotation and follow through after contact.
Thank you! Totally agreed it is a lot similar to boxing. A powerful punch utilizes all the body not just throwing the arms
Hi Karue, for a beginner my rotation is pretty good according to my coach. Particularly on my forehand. However, everytime I play against someone that has stronger hands and forearms (mines are pretty weak to be fair) they always hit the ball with much more power even if their rotation is not that good. Any thoughts?
Not really related to this video, but I had a question on footwork/recovery for you Karue. When the rallies are decent paced and deep, I have no probably making the cross over steps and shuffle steps to get into the correct position and split step because there's a rhythm with fast paced balls. My issue is when the balls are much slower( either from myself or my opponent), I get to the right position on the court quicker but my rhythm is off and I end up standing there for a second then split stepping. What do you recommend in this case? When I get to the right position on the court early do I just split step in place 2-3 times?
yeah when things slow down you might need a few split steps in the same position (Novak does that a lot). Also, you can move slower when things slow down. It might seem like the wrong thing but you can make make all the steps a bit slower. Don’t walk or get on your heels but let the pace of the ball dictate how your body moves.
@@MyTennisHQ ah that makes sense! I’ll try it thanks!
Power!!!!!!
Wow you were at West End Raquet Club!
Any suggestions on having a less tighter back? I noticed I can't turn/rotate as my body feels really tight!
Likely stretch more and work out. Yoga has done wonders for my body since I’ve stopped competing
Goodness sake. That forehand at 10:30...just vaporised the damn ball there...
Hi Karue...during the explode phase and you're firing your energy to the target is the thought to keep head your more level during the firing or let the head rise up during the firing phase?...thanks
Keep your head level like you are watching the contact (Federer)
Hey Karue, once you improve your power is it wise to change racquets to something more control oriented? I feel like the power of the racquet that I play with is becoming a little too much now that my technique and strength is much better than before. How should one think about this ? Or is it all just in my head ?
Maybe. I’d say yes only if you had a an old racket that doesn’t fit your progress. If not, try upping the tension on your strings first before buying a new racket. But if you feel like you outgrew your current frame then yes try a new one
thanks, great video. What medicine ball weight should i use?
Depends on your strength. 6-8 pounds should be plenty
@@MyTennisHQ so, half a bowling ball?
How do you keep yourself balanced during the shot? I find when I push off my legs, it becomes really hard to consistently hit the ball as my legs are moving forward. It also seems like a lot of the pros like Djokovic don’t move their legs that much during down the middle rallies. Are they still loading and pushing forward? If so, how are they able to still be relatively stationary?
Years and years of coiling and doing a unit turn over and over, they have the mind muscle connection and strength to be a little more stationary while hitting it hard and effectively
man i had to hit the like after watching the first 40 secs lol
Great lesson! May I hereby ask a question: moving to tennis from badminton (at the college level), I have been always struggling with creating power on my two-handed backhand, but when trying one-handed I can get much more power and speed (not being jammed at all). So should I change to one-handed or not? I feel the two-handed one has more stability, especially in return of the serve. Thank you again for your video!
That is the million dollar question haha it really is a personal preference. returns are definitely easier with two handers. One handers are great for variation and creating angles and lots of topspin. Go with whichever is more natural IMO
@@MyTennisHQ Massive thanks Karue. I think I would carefully consider the "natural" backhand!
Nice vid. Any idea how to adapt this exercice for alone practicing? I don’t get the chance to have somebody throw some med balls to me 😅…
Throw it against a wall!
How about a drill like this for the one handed backhand?? It would seem to me that this drill wouldn’t quite translate?
Will definitely try it for the forehand though 🤓
Yes. Power will still come from the same leg on the one hander
Quads for the win.
great video, how does work with a one handed backhand ?
Yep. Power will still come from the same place (leg, hips).
This is sooo me lol!! 😂
LOL more intros like this in all future vids!
Karue your friends Marcos Giron play very well today in Vienna
"1 and 1 to a pusher" - best line in ages
What about the 1 handed backhand?
It seems to me the power on that stroke does not come from the left leg (for right handers)
One handed backhands also push from the outside leg. Doesn’t look like it but you do (watch Stan Wawrinka backhands)
Do you guys do any personalized online coaching?
Lessonswithkarue@gmail.com
Dig on grant guy. I agree man. I don't like to Diss anyone. But that racket drop like alcaraz his talks about for power just crap man lolll..this is so good
Are you coaching… I saw you on tv but i can’t remember with which player!
He coaches his friend and former UCLA teammate Marcos Giron. Sadly he lost to Medvedev in the first round.
And Time, a maniac scattering dust, And Life, a Fury slinging flame.
Very good video, but like the person below, I would like see how you can get power on the serve. What I am particularly interested in is how a medicine ball can be used to gain power on the serve
Here is a video on that th-cam.com/video/iruqiD9DVe8/w-d-xo.html
Something interesting you said was "relaxed not loose, I hate the word loose". Can you explain why?
I just don’t like the word loose. I think it can be very confusing for amateurs because they over do it. Being too loose is can lead to problems in stroke production
Grant Van der Hayden HAHAHAHAHAH 😂😂😂
Yes I am guilty of being a lunatic sometimes. The last time I was practicing on court, there was a little construction zone behind the courts. I was attempting to load and hit like Djokovic and Serena; and I hit the ball well over and beyond the fence into the construction zone. Let's just say that the construction workers were not that happy with random tennis balls hitting their equipment.😒😒😒
Is diy sand ball ok for this exercise?
Sure! As long as theres some weight you can use anything
Hey Karue! I have a question that is unrelated to this video. There are some rumours about new vcore line coming out in december. Have you heard anything about that? (Blink twice if you are not allowed to reveal that :) )
I'm looking to switch to vcore, but am willing to wait couple of months to test the latest version. if the rumours are true. I was guessing there is nobody better to ask, considering both You and your boy Marcos are using that frame :)
btw, too bad he fell just a bit short on that semis in Vienna. Played a great match vs Dimitrov
Hi! Honestly I have not heard much about an updated VCORE. I believe is coming, spoke to someone from yonex and they mentioned a launch but didn’t specify at all. I am guessing it is the VCORE lineup. I’d say wait until the turn of the year
@@MyTennisHQ Thank you for a quick and honest reply :) cheers
Serious question: why do you hate the term loose?
even closed stance become open stance upon contact, you just have more momentum to help you, correct?
Do these medicine ball drills improve a one-hander's backhand?
Yes, power will still come from the same leg
That's very useful information. I thought one handers don't practice this drill from the BH side because torso rotation and non dominant hand motion strictly simulate a 2hBH and definitely not a 1h. Except if they execute it in a different way. They could actually do it with a small 1kg handball throwing it with the dominant hand only and keeping the torso sideways longer.
missed that one by a little bit but, GOOD POWER AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How many times per week should we use the medicine ball drill?
as many times as you want. No need to do it a lot but a few times, even against a wall will do
@@MyTennisHQ Thx!
Is there any way I can do it alone?
You can probably find a solid wall to throw towards.
yessirski
👍
Damn, the first 5-6 seconds look like me haha.
@0:30 lol
Medicine ball ...I play one handed backhand...it is good for my forehand but when I go backhand side it feels akward to me...
The main reason I want more power is to let the 68 year old guy who’s besting me at tennis know that I could still kick his ass in a fight.
Quality intro roast on some of those "experts"
Hahaha thank you!
i want to send this video to my tennis partner but he would kill me.
