You guys have absolutely the best camerawork I've seen among all the tennis instruction channels. The buttery smooth player tracking, unique perspectives, and slow motion, all make for a super effective training video. Thank you for all your time and effort!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Hi Simon, I'm 45 and have slowed down a lot. Plus I'm only 5'8" so perhaps some strategies for slower/shorter players to reach the tough shots? Thanks for asking!
This is probably the most detailed and informative video on how to deal with high balls. I see Thiem moving back all the time so he can just aggressively swing at the ball by buying himself more time. In contrast, Federer is masterful when it comes to hitting shots on the rise. Option 5 sounds like the most difficult one 🥲
J i like the passion you have for the sport. I recall you from 후리는 테니스’s youtube and now that I see you as a comment here it gives me a strong feeling I would love to hit with you sometime.
It is valuable to see shots hit in slow motion, e.g., Simon hitting balls "on the rise" and Alex hitting one-handed backhands. Videos like this increase my enthusiasm for tennis.
Simon and Alex, a year after I first watched your videos, I am still coming back to rewatch. This video has so much for the developing player. I have only fully worked on 2 1/2 out of 5 of those steps and have more to go. Great content, gentlemen!
Very good. Especially against low level doubles players and pushers. One other way to handle these moon balls on the forehand is to tilt your body and hit a hard top spin shot at a higher swing plane.
Great video guys, love the ending, not seen your funny sides. I recently lost to a player who used heavy topspin on his returns to me and didn’t really know how to deal with hit. Now I have some options which will really help when faced with the same situation 🤞
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thank you Alex and Simon for creating great content! I struggle tracking the ball and end up not watching it at contact (and not holding my head steady). Any tips? Many thanks.
Another great video Simon & Alex- thanks! I regularly play against a guy who has a wicked top-spin FH with good depth. It's so frustrating when he uses the same pattern over & again: hits a t-s FH with depth, pushes me back far behind the baseline and then comes in & tucks away the easy volley. Will try a few of these tactics next time!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Maybe a road map/ training /drill routine to take 4.0 players to 5.0. Every player is different, but something general would be helpful. Just throwing ideas on the table. =)
@ Simon as I watching learning from both of best coaches . You forehand flat down the line shots is Pro level killer. The sweet sounds powerful hitting killer. Not even some 4.5 players can hit that. You had master all the tennis skills. Nothing but the best. Happy holidays you both coaches .
An excellent video such great attention to the minor details which make all the difference! The high slice though I find this such a risky option but probably because I don't execute it as well.
I face countless of high loop moon balls or deep topspin balls, extremely valuable, thanks !! So far I I'm able to hit most of these options except the drive swing volley which I haven't trained for it yet 😅
Beyond good! You guys are a great team! I've never seen the one-hand backhand jump / drive shot explained / shown before. Would you guys be willing to focus on that shot in more detail sometime? Thank you so much for your posts. Always valuable! From the wet coast of Canada... Merry Christmas
Great video guys - really informative. Are you able to make a video on how to execute a forehand drop shot with disguise. I'm able to execute the backhand drop shot very well but find it more tricky on the forehand side.
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial actually yes. If you haven’t already done it, I’d be interested in seeing the core footwork patterns, but more importantly the common problems (such as balance) that hinder club players when trying to perform them
When they go really high like moon balls to my backhand I love to step around and overhead smash it. Especially when they run to the net after moon balling it’s so funny because I just smash it right past them 😂 my coaches tell me not to do overheads behind the baseline but I just love it too much it seems like it’s just serving but you can hit anywhere
Excellent. This is video that I was looking for my daughter. She is a flat hitter and she cannot handle high heavy topspin to her forehand. Hopefully, she will learn from this video and decide which technique she will use in her matches. Also, can you make a video how to make those angle shots from both sides. I am an one hander backhand and I cannot hit this shot no matter what I do. Also, how to counter this angle shot as well. Thanks. Alan
Dear Simon and lex, Love all you do on your channel. Can you please do a video about using different string tensions for mains and crosses and how those differences affect a racquet's feel and playability?
Thanks for your videos and input - always good. My number one tip before anything is - get a mega tacky grip plus the size that suites you. Then you can 'let go'.
Your videos are great. Love the content. Love the channel. Sometimes the videos are too long just to offer some feedback. I have a busy schedule in nyc and watch on my commute. Some 5 min content would be great. Again love the stuff!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Maybe a lesson on how to master the dropshot on both sides, and when to use them. I'm not sure if you already did it, but that would be really helpful!! All the best, thank you!!
I’ve been struggling trying to hit a flat ball back from the shoulder height. I noticed from your slow-mo demo is that you start loading before the ball bounces on your court. Seems that is my problem. I need to time my leg loading earlier so that I can catch the ball while it still rises up at my shoulder height. Thanks for the great lesson!
Bruh hitting flat balls won’t get u anywhere, I’m a heavy hitter who hits high and heavy and people try this alll the time and it’s just completely inefficient. To be honest I recommend slicing of the rise, it’s difficult but with practice u can learn it. it’s harder for a heavy hitter to hit a good ball back off a slice.
Shoulder level shots are hard, since they are just below the out-of-range zone but you should just think about your footwork and hitting it in front of you, also if you have good enough balance you can swing your right foot which somehow gives more power. Good luck!
I have no problem hitting the ball on the rise (low pickup, close to half-volley) from the baseline. But, for the life of me, I can’t hit the high-slow-mid court ball down to the court aggressively. Most fly long. In the real match, I always just chip and charge those mid court balls and finish the point with a volley. This seems to work well at 4.0 or below level. At 4.5 or higher, chip & charge is not good enough to do some damage.
How do I work on timing the ball better when I do take it on the rise? It's the same old problem, I'm forced to slice or back up when I'm dealt a high ball on the backhand side, and I don't want to give up my court position
Standing inside the baseline and rallying or playing points like in our last drill in the video will help you develop the timing you need! Thanks, alex
@@ericliu2708 thanks for the advice! Sometimes, I take what you said to the extreme, and use a single hand flick half volley.

Have to agree excellent video
it’s really all about footwork. if you get to these positions with plenty of time, most players with decent technique can hit these shots
