I never thought about the angle of reflection matching the angle of incidence as the reason for slice shots staying low, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks for teaching me something new.
What a privileged mind you got!! I'm amazed at how you can recall every detail you talked about some videos ago and use them to teach and remind us of all the important facts to retain. Thanks a million. I owe you a lot. If you and your family ever want to travel to Spain, count on my house and everything you'd need. I'll be delighted to have you and take you to enjoyable places.
Hello Ryan. I had folliwed almost all your videos from France since lockdown and that was more that helpful. Your capacity to use simple words for complex tennis technics + your humility + humour speeads a lot of confidence on our tennis. Some "Dont judge yourself" "Cross court is your friend" "Give five five on forward " "Grab a glass of water on the toss" You should definitly make some conférences ;) Again thanks for all your valuable videos because these are all high quality explained. Let us know if you ve planned to come over France :) we ll be happy to welcome you. Karim
Hey Ryan I love this! I was just wondering if you can do a video on returning a lefty serve? It's seems like there's only 3-4 videos on youtube when you search. I would love your input on how to return the lefty serve on both the Ad and Deuce side!
1. When the ball has spin, the angle of bounce (as you call reflection) is not the same as angle of incident. This is apparent when you toss a ball vertically with spin and watch its bounce. 2. Specifically for a topspin shot, yes the angle of incidence is steeper, but the kick is due to the spin of the ball - in fact if the ball is topspun fast enough its horizontal velocity can even increase after the bounce! Source: failure, re-taking, and eventually completing many physics and engineering classes in college
I’m well aware that the spin changes the reflection angle. I was simply making a simple reference. In fact, if two balls hit the ground at the same angle and one as topspin and the other has backspin, the topspin ball leaves at a lower angle. Thanks!!
Yeah, as a mechanical engineer, I can say you are incorrect about #2; it is all about the angle of incidence. Sure, the spin has an effect, but in the OPPOSITE direction of what we see in sharply hit groundstrokes. Topspin SHOULD drive the ball forward and down, not create a kick. Backspin SHOULD drive the ball up and back. These things happen on a ball near a 90 degree fall like a lob or dropshot, but we see the opposite affect in common baseline ground strokes. What we see in a horizontal topspin shot is that the ball is so affected by the aerodynamics, it drives the ball down to the point that the angle of incidence is much greater than we recognize. This causes the ball to pop up more, even though the spin is techincally working against that. So yeah, the angle of reflection is a little different that the angle of incidence due to the spin, but a topspin serve or groundstroke kicks up due to the angle of incidence, IN SPITE of the spin's effect.
Ryan, Another great lesson. Also, a friend borrowed my Top Spin Pro. He is thinking of buying his own. Do you still have an affiliate link for the Top Spin Pro? Thanks, Bob
Thanks Ryan. I try to always use your videos for singles and doubles strategies in every match. Could you by chance make a video on dealing with opponent who hits with much more power than you, it could be served, ground strokes, I’ll leave that to your discretion. I just know that when facing someone with significantly more power than myself the last thing I want to do is try to match power for power. I usually try to slice ball low or hit moonballs preferably to their weaker side. The key word is try Hahah.
Hey Will thanks for your patience. I’ll let will from fuzzy yellow balls know. You can also email him for more info: will@fuzzyyellowballs.com. Keep me posted!
You are correct! That type of technique can be difficult to manage for many club players. That’s why I suggest less downward and more outward movement with a bit less spin. Thanks!!

Thanks for being the most valuable source of coaching online.... It's like you're my personal coach.
Wow thank you so much!! I’m glad you find value on the channel!!

Jeeeeezzz this is golden. More attack vids like this pls cause I'm always getting winners on me when I try to go for this
Awesome Ryan
Thank you so much Gary!!

Hi Bob. Good to hear from you. Yes here it is topspinpro.com/ref/2minutetennis/ thank you so much for asking!! So kind of you…

FYI I ordered the strategy book on Feb. 25 still haven't received it as of April 19 (on it's way but super slow delivery).

interesting how much underspin he added to the volley.. his racquet was far below the net after the shot

What did I learn today?
Incidence equals reflection.
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯.....
You can say that again
Stocks are good but Crypto is better
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
How do i contact Mr Eric Turner?
@Jerry stings Thanks for his contact info, I'll get to him right away
Too bad the guy didn't Karaoke step like he should of
Oh I guess he kind of did. Whoops. Sorry Ohio State guy
Haha I was thinking to myself “did Kyle watch the same video I did?!” Have a great day Kyle!
