I want you to know that you are really talented. There aren’t many people in the world who can improve so many players from a TH-cam video.
100% Karun .
@@boscoffernandes "karun"
@@adimperial true but its how you explain it to the novice that makes this video good.
Venu Tauti wha?
Thought the same. Thank you for the uploads
I just won a match against an opponent that I could never beat before. I would like to think it was because of the basic positioning advice I got from
Essential Tennis: At the baseline, be on the opposite side as the ball at the other end of the court. Great advice. Thanks.
YES! So great to read that, ott. Congrats to you for applying what you've learned! I'm proud of you 🙂
Wow, I didn’t even realize. I just thought I had poor or slow reactions this whole time. Great video
Glad I could help
A similar one that’s super simple and a coach taught me once: when your playing casually/practicing, call out loud “forehand” or “backhand” as soon as the ball comes off the opponents racquet. This sounds dumb but it makes you prepare way earlier which I always notice that the better a player is, the more natural and immediate their preparation for a stroke.
Funny, my coach does the same. Or just a "YES!"
Of all the tennis tactics videos I've watched (there's been a lot), this is the one that has led to the fastest improvement. There are so many knock-on benefits. I find I'm suddenly able to hit my forehand a lot better because I'm in a better position. It encourages movement too. Rather than me hitting a shot and watching it go in, I'm hitting a shot and running to where I need to be. Thank you!
So true! I have a habit of hitting a shot then watching it and not moving from the shot point.
As a beginner player that wants to play as much that îs possible I tried TODAY this advice and IT was great. 80% of The balls came right to ME!
Thank you!
YES! So happy to hear that. Way to put this into play!
I wish I had instruction like this in high school and college when I was playing competitively.
This is eye opening for me personally. I tend to stand there like a stick after a down the line shot and think i hit a decent shot lol. Will start moving the next time I'm on the court
Thanks for the channel shoutout!!! glad we did the right thing. You are right its pretty much automatic now in terms of court positioning, when my legs get heavy deep in a match I tend to get lazy though.
This is one of your best videos, no one ever taught me this after years of playing. It took me 1 minute on the court to implement this.
Such a great lesson and everyone watching just said “OMG, of course!”. Great video and killer interactive screen!
Yeah I gotta get me one of these. They have a 75" version. Oh boy.
Excellent coaching advice!
Best regards from a former ATP player.
Would love to see this same info for doubles. Thanks again for another great video!
This is a really coherent video. Thank you!
Very helpful. Thanks!
Well thought out and pragmatic strategy Ian! Thank you,
This is phenomenal content. I feel like this the missing piece to my own baseline game. Thank you so much for breaking this down.
Been watching you for a few years. Such easy to follow, detailed explanations. The visuals you have added are truly helpful. I'm back to playing 4.0 after injury and PT from a slight fall on my shoulder. As my 15 year old daughter pointed out when I was pleasantly surprised beating a 25 year old (I am 52 lol). She said, "Mom, she might be in better physical shape, but you outplayed her mentally" -- and these videos help that so much! Thanks!
Superb analysis. Thanks so much
I'll be trying it today!! Amazing explanation of a very important (yet sometimes forgotten) rule of tennis. Thanks again Ian, great job as usual.
Gold. This is gold. Thank you so much, Coach
Great video, thanks!!
Your instructions are easy to understand! I can't wait to put it to practice! Thank you.
Great clip. The strategy is clearly described and supported.
Wow! U r such a good instructor! Ok I play singles & always thought “recover to the middle” but now I understand the “right middle!!” Can’t wait to get on the court & incorporate this into my game, Thank u!!
Excellent information. Thank you for this!
Excellent, simple but well- made video; thank you
Thanks! Very useful!
This really helped! Thank you so much!!
Very helpful and very smart! Thank you!
Great practical explanation Ian. Very well done.
Brilliant effort, I got the idea and I followed your instructions today, it improved my shots and point winning ability
good info. I will try to make use of the new knowledge...
Heck of a job on teaching this!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
This was really enlightening and helpful! Thank you!
Really good video on where to stand. Makes perfect sense and I’m definitely going to see how this helps on court
Great video! Adding this to my mental library and will apply it soon. Cant wait for the next video!😀
Let me know how it works for you!
Wow. This video is soo well done. Very fine work. Thank you for doing it.
Ian, interesting stuff. Frequently I have "winners" hit against me and I thought I was because of my shot placement being poor. Some of it my be my positioning being poor. Can't wait to try this strategy. Thanks.
Really great video and explanation!
Such a helpful video! Thank you!
Very insightful video.
Hiya there Ian. Actually, I'd already learnt about this concept on other site, but I have to say that you give a wide and clearer explanation in this lesson. It's dead good ! Thanks a lot. Cheers.
Very good video. Thank you!
Enjoyed the lesson, thank you !
Gotta say, amazing video! Easy and simple to understand, yet it hit me, I'll put this in play next time I'm at the court. Congrats
I am really impressed by the way you are evolving your channel, glad I subbed. Do more collabs with other online coaches, or analyse their training vids, meta baby, woooo
Brillant explanation!
More excellent information. Thank you!
Amazing content, super useful. Thanks!
Great video! Your in-depth analysis is very helpful - I'll apply this learning to my game. I appreciate the hard work you've put into your videos! 👍
Positioning is SO important - thank you for a great visual explanation! Uros
Thank you very much, sir!
Love this vids about positioning On court. Something that takes years to master, but thanks to you it shortens a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it, Alex!
Wow! Thank you for this amazing video. Been to numerous coaches and no one has ever broken it down this way.
Awesome Ian!!
Really useful, very well explained and demoed. Great work, this is really really useful stuff
Thank you for the key point👍
That's one of the clearest explanations of splitting the angle. Well done.
great video! I love to see this type of lesson. It is much easier to understand from the board and with real examples. Visually how much to cover from ball direction and where opponent stands. more recovery video please!! :D
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, very clear, that is where you have to stand if you do not want to run side to side
Very professional, thanks
p.s. I love your touch screen
I am Improving my Tennis and my English, so this channel is Amazing for me, Thanks Bro
This was so good! Thank you explaining this so well!
Glad it was helpful!
Great advice!
This "rule of thumb" about being on the other side of the court is simple and for that, also genious. I improved today. Tx!
Just came across this channel. It's awesome!
Glad you enjoy it!
thank you, you’re so good at what you do.
Appreciate the kind words!
My weak backhand drove me to play from the ad side most of the time...and many times got burned just as Ian has pointed out. What a revelation. Great video!
Great job, I remember how much I improved watching the video about probabilities and shots, and how to make less mistakes. Thanks Iam. You are a great coach.
Thank you so much, Henry!
I have just came across this channel and I have just suscribed cuz this is exactly what I need to take my game to a whole new level
Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for this, my dad told me to get to the middle and I didn't no what he meant and now I do!
love these kind of contents 🙌🏼
Great to hear, John!
Good tip! Tks!
From someone who plays tennis a lot this is a really vital skill and I'm really glad you made a video about it although I don't get the explanation. It shouldn't really matter what the best shot is in that position because 99/100 times it won't happen.
How I was taught it was down the line is less likely to happen because its more difficult to hit the ball in down the line due to the net being higher and having to hit the ball in over a shorter distance.Thus cross court is the way easier shot to play so you need to cover that more than the down the line. But still you had the same point in the end.
Anyway nice video it was really well made and easy to understand
That is an awesome breakdown of this video. I will try to implement these tactics in my next match. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent breakdown of something too few tennis players actually know. When giving lessons, I use tennis balls on the court to show those angles, and it's amazing how many times I see a light bulb go off in someone's head because they were standing in the wrong spot. Not only are they not covering the court with maximum ease... they are leaving the easier shot open to their opponents (cross court). And everyone knows that the net is lower on a cross court shot vs. down the line.
Good job!
That is great! I was missing this type of videos! 💜
More to come!
Nice and simple explanations for positioning, thanks Ian!
Glad it was helpful!
Great lession Man!!! Congrats from Brazil
Thanks for watching Eduardo! Glad you enjoyed it!
Illuminating, thanks!!
You bet!
uh oh, that's where I stand
😬
:/
For advanced players who are right handed it's kind of beneficial to move to that bad position, as you probably hit the ball to your opponent's backhand and try to hit a forehand next. I get the system of angles and shorter distances. It's like the moving of a goal keeper in soccer or hockey.
But its efficiency needs you to have a decent backhand, as you're opening both sides the same. When I look at my oppenents, it's rarely like that. Most of them have a way better forehand and try to hit forehand at the highest possible ratio.
As I am relatively equal on fore- and backhand, I'll try to consciously move like that. I am very excited about the output and if I will be forced to play more backhand (-) then while being earlier at the ball (+).
I must admit that the pro of having shorter ways to move is more beneficial than the disadvantages of allowing your opponent to hit the balls more to your backhand.
In my first testing against a better player I had more time to hit as I was earlier on the best position which helps enormously. In fact the positioning was so much better that I got voracious to try hitting winners that resulted in more unforced errors, but moving that way plus being patient should pay off.
I'll continue that in my tournament the upcoming weekend.
@@melfox215 not beneficial bro. Took years of tennis lessons and that incompetent club trainer did not teach me court positioning, had to learn by myself from youtube. It was a aha moment.
Excellent video once again. Thank you for using our video as an example to help others improve. Agree with the need to improve court positioning and working on it. Not automatic like the excellent players with Dill Plays but hopefully it will be one day. Thanks for the video and hopefully we all can improve and obtain an edge over our opponents.
LOVE your videos and the dedication to improvement, Troll!
Btw, Ian, he is a 4.5 ;-)
Glad to see both of us getting the shoutout, thanks for the video!!! Like and Subscribe am I right 😂😂😂.
Essential Tennis - Lessons and Instruction for Passionate Players 3.5+!? Ouch. I’m pretty sure the Troll is a 5.0 in Atlanta. I think the Troll needs to take a trip up to WI and show Ian a thing or two.
Dill Plays The fact that Ian sees Troll’s tennis as “3.5 possibly even 4.0” makes me question Ian’s abilities to make sound judgements about tennis.
Excellent video explaining horizontal (lateral) coverage of opponent's return angles. However, no mention of vertical coverage made. In short, when moving laterally, if warranted, also move forward or backwards before taking the split step. Move forward could be on or indide the baseline if anticipating some advantage or possible drop shot; move back if somewhat defensive tactically.
Can you guys make a video breaking down the different kinds of playing styles that you will face, and how you can beat them?
Love that topic suggestion, Daniel. Adding to my list!
Hi Daniel. Over and in will win you most games! If I play against an over and in player I find a way to get to the net. Its all about taking the time away from your opponent and having the time yourself.
How to deal with different serves would be really interesting- I feel like the amateur game has some really hard service styles to deal with.
I've watched this maybe three times and honestly this is the first time it really sank in and I "got" it. Slow learner :-) Thanks Ian!
It is likely bittersweet to lose your very capable staff couple but I personally enjoy your increased content presence which reveals your practical knowledge and great personality. 🎾
I appreciate that!
Thanks (from San Juan Argentina)
This is amazing stuff! Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Great info! Thanks!
You bet!
Really Nice!
This was awesome. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the great video. A very simple point that I have overlooked before now, one I hope to remember. That is a great screen for explaining everything visually so very well. I hope you will do some more on doubles tactics soon.
Glad it was helpful!
this was sooooo insightful
So glad it was helpful!
This video was seriously helpful for me. Big thanks! Really!
Glad it helped!
Excellent explanation. And, your it's "all about positioning" = FOOTWORK!!!! Taking videos of oneself playing, is actually a very important tool. When I watch myself, I go like : "really i'm doing this beginner's mistake". I just want to hide sometimes LOL.....
Awesome clear explanation right on target. Wondering if you have a doubles play scenario. Thanks. 👍🏼
Good video. It is a good reminder again.
Glad you enjoyed it
