Anna’s First Match 👉 th-cam.com/video/S-vtW3_IwSc/w-d-xo.html
“Are we traveling?” had me rollin 😂💀
Best tennis channel on youtube. Great teacher and Anna is always great.
I’m 17 & I’ve just started to learn to play tennis. Your videos have been extremely helpful and I just want to say thank you! 🙏🏿
Keep playing 💪
You make the best instructional videos about tennis than ANYONE else in the 🌍
Thank you 🙏
Anna is really improving Wow ! She is doing good
first ,the string color is very important lol oh girls .. dont you love them ... and second , dont be scare of the ball....lol i love it
Hey Intuitive Tennis, I've played my 4th session after a 2 year break and my forehand finally felt really good today. The right shoulder being in front on contact and "handshake tuck" you taught in some other videos really helped Nikola. Thanks for these videos, I must've watched 30 or so this week haha.
Thank you for the support. Glad you are seeing results 🙌
I would have Anna catch the first set of balls from the machine with two hands on both sides. It will help with timing and footwork
Great video Nik, it took Anna about 5 minutes to adapt to the machine, which looks a lot more forgiving than my Spinshot Pro. She visibly improved over the course of this video.
WoW…Anna has gotten so much better.amazing
excellent commentary at around 14:30ish about having the shoulder forward at contact on FH … excellent video, again!
One of the biggest differences in good vs poor forehand technique at the rec level is the non-dominant arm hanging limp as the forward swing begins. This can occur even if the player uses two hands to start a good unit turn, but then the non-dominant arm goes limp and drops down instead of clearing out of the way, across the body, opening the chest and allowing better weight transfer into the shot. If the non-dominant arm goes down and limp, it becomes the body fighting the body as it rotates into the swing to contact the ball. I understand there is a timing issue involved regarding the clearing out of the non-dominant arm and rotating into the shot. I just think that it's something that sometimes doesn't get enough emphasis when learning the forehand. What do you think, Nik?
my hand goes a little in front of me, and at just my waist height. When I do my follow through, I catch the racquet with my non dominant hand at the end of the swing.
@@piercezhang8153 just dont let your non dominant hand block yohr follow through
@@legoatjames5723 start with a basket of balls and drop feed to yourself, track the ball with your non dominant hand (this makes you more aware of your non dominant arm) and consciously move it out of the way, across your body as you swing to hit the ball. Progress to someone feeding you forehands or use a ball machine to build muscle memory, always starting each shot with a unit turn with the non dominant hand tracking the ball to build non dominant arm position awareness.
Great first set. I thoroughly enjoyed this. From commentary, confessionals, and on court play. Looking forward to part two.
Great video, I'm trying to get one of the machines at our club. Thank you both.
You are one very generous tennis coach for lending her the ball machine! I would be lucky if I could borrow a tennis ball from mine. 😂
Loved the Slinger ball machine. I got one back in April. It definitely helped me improve my game.
It's funny because I literally ordered my own slinger bag yesterday evening!!! I'm so excited to get started with it and I can't wait to see how it help me with my game.
Hi.. just quriosity...How much did you pay?? I own Silence Partner Smart.. Cost me 2000..Can $
@@narcyznarcyz-uv4td I paid $745 for mine (including shipping). I did however buy the 2nd package that is available. The package I bought includes the slinger bag, the rotating oscillator, as well as the ball collector tube. The machine by itself without the oscillator costs $600 (not including shipping).
Look at those abs!!! Wow… back to tennis, Anna has improved a lot. So much more power and confidence now. Too much wrist though. And Footwork requires a lot more practice of course. Nik will tidy that up for sure. Cant wait to see another Anna match😁
@@JanitorIsBack yes she definitely improved a lot since day one. No doubts about it. Of course she is still in the beginner category but an advanced beginner now. Moreover she can certainly enjoy a game of tennis better than when she first started out. So yes, i watched her and her hit. ✌️😄
I bought the Slinger bag last fall. There’s a lot of topspin with the one wheel spinning in there and when it shoots out a good ball it’s a very heavy topspin that picks up pace after the bounce. Good preparation for my next match with Rafa😉 I’m waiting on a case of pressureless Wilson Trinity Pro tennis balls which should improve my practice.
Anna is genius, you have my word
Indeed, coach! It's much better to watch Anna's technique from close up using the ball machine...
LOL!
Good session. Anna is lucky to hv the ball machine as encouragement for her good performance. Kind gesture from Nick.
Best tennis channel on youtube.
Anna is such a doll 🤩
Anna hit a few nice forehands 😄
Next Level 👍💪
I've been looking at that type ball machine for awhile and thinking now I will get one. The price and the compactness is perfect! Oh, go Anna! She hit some good forehands; she has come a long way! Great coaching!👍
My advice to you is do not spend extra money for the most advance models.. You are simply not going to.use it.. I did that mistake..
All the best..😊
@@narcyznarcyz-uv4td
Cool, I'll take your advice. Thanks!
I usually recommend the Spinshot or Lobster. Spinshot pro has been my best tennis bud for a couple years now... Can do multiple drills with it and set up customized shots you may want to practice.
@@colin6612 2 years ago I have bought Silence Partner Smart , the most advance model only because I never used a ball machine before and I did not know exactly what to expect. Silence Partner because company is based in Toronto where I live so basically it was much easier to get a servis if needed. I am 5.0.player , very strong on baseline on both sides so my goal was simply to improve my shots and get to a higher level.This ball machine is perfect but many options are simply to complicated to set and then used on the court..Imo these options are excellent to use as a phisical practice but to improve your technique are simply useless .
Opinions differ depending on a number of factors. Why would someone like Niks student want an advanced machine when the slinger bag can provide all that is required
The idea of a ball machine is to work on technique and grooving your shots not playing live matches which with coaching and Match play are tools that you have to incorporate to improve
Slinger bag is good value, practical and portable
There enough drills you can do use no brainer really
Ive had my slinger bag for about a month. Ive been playing tennis for about a year. I found the amount of topspin to be a bit troublesome at first, but you know, most rec players where I play (and the standard is reasonable, nothing amazing) play with a lot of top. So I think its a question of upping your game, moving your feet, setting up early and watching the spin. It is do-able. It does take a bit of adjustment, but overall I find the slinger bag DOES improve your game. Nice to see Coach use it in his session with Anna
I taught myself a lefty forehand thanks to the Slinger. Took a few hundred balls but it's becoming solid. Key for beginners (my left arm most definitely is) is to move the bag in front of the net and turn down the spin rate.
@@vlesmeries which one is the spin rate? Speed, feed, or angle? I do have the same trouble with too much top spin
@@shemeshka82 Speed = top spin rotation. Feed is how often you want the balls to launch at you. You'll have to experiment with the settings a bit. If you're a beginner, move the bag to your side of the court and also decrease the angle so it's more of a flat ball.
@@stelkurtain_tm I loved it until it broke yesterday and parts fell out. Hopefully their support is stellar since it's supposed to be a 3 year warranty.
Unfortunately, Slinger bag is not a good ball machine. It’s a toy.
I like that push tip.
Hi Nik. Why the balls were very inconsistent at first? Does the machine need that long to warm up? Is Slinger worth its price?
This is the highlight of my day….:-)
She is the machine 🥰😍💙
love Anna!!
May I know the settings you used on your ball machine?
Gotta say Anna really beautifies your videos
Great lesson, coach Nikola. At min 13:36, Anna mentions that she has noticed some tennis players seem to lift their left hand on the rotation in the forehand. I've noticed that players like Fernando Verdasco are famous for lifting their lift arm very high and finishing with their right wrist next to their ear. His forehand is beautiful, but not a common path for most recreational players, I guess.
Every pro player has its own way of executing the shots. They all have the same fundamentals, though. You cannot copy Verdasco's fh if it doesn't feel natural to you. Execute your shots the way it feels the most natural to you bearing in mind the fundamentals.
@@Sladovsky1 very true. Great advice.
@@nica1 thanks
I have the same ball machine, good overall, but I miss the slice, it doesn't do this. Also, lots of times balls are getting stuck and won't come. But still helps me with training.
13:21 no cap, best part of the video! keep up the good content and good job anna, great progress
as a player who is re learning the game from the beginning! I notice on the forehand the butt cap of the racquet needs to line up with the ball! same as in serve in racquet drop..this really has helped me...u need some looseness and flexibility for this to happen!!
Just have fun and get the ball in play. Forget all the emphasis on technique. You will have plenty of time to learn that when you're a 3.0/3.5 player.
@@warehouse13-motorsports wouldn't it be a good idea to get the techniques right from the start, rather than have to unlearn a bunch of bad habits we have before we can even start to play well?
@@racketman2u I have yet to see a teaching pro teach a beginner that way.
I’m using these great lessons these in VR tennis outside on cloudy day they have ball machines, target practice and AI opponents
good form
Anna that was funny when you said over size luggage hehe
HELP - Ball Machine/hopper question - I live in a suburb of Houston, TX. Am I limited to using public courts if I have a ball hopper and a small ball machine (tennis twist)? I can't seem to find any good tennis place that will actually let me use this tiny machine and ball hopper. Riduculous. Multiple clubs/community center type of places won't allow. Where is everybody using these machines at? Thanks in advance.
Really enjoying all your videos from Korea lol can you make a video on where your body hurts when playing tennis. I’m thinkin it could be helpful so that i can try to prevent it ^_^
Good idea! After messing up my calf muscle (grade 2 tear and being out of action for a month) and flaring up an old back injury after a tennis lesson… Mind you, it was probably more intense than in this video. I’m pretty fit, although, not as fit as before lockdown started, so it came as a very upsetting/unpleasant surprise, especially, that I signed up for an entire year at my club and booked in private coaching also. I did find a book on Amazon regarding tennis fitness, maybe you could check that one out.
I will cover injures in tennis and how to prevent them
@@IntuitiveTennis sweet! thx Nic
PERFECT. YESSSSSSS!
It think it would be better if she started with her racket down flat instead of in her hand for ready position. She ends up having contact with the ball with her wrist backward and/or straight out, making her racket face open. This will help with her wrist bring forward rather than backhand when she meets the ball. I’m no expert but my coach showed me this technique and it has helped me fix my open racket face.
This is the lesson she had to learn: more real incoming balls. Food work and body preparation. Great fun!
감사합니다
Hey Intuitive Tennis "Nikola", been watching all your tutorials for Ms. Anna from her first up to latest. I watched it in a week now coz im a beginner too. I just want to learn the basics of tennis. Can I request since this is a year ago can you make another Video with Ms. Anna how or what improvements she has now. Thank You!
Sure
@@IntuitiveTennis Thank you. Awesome videos btw. I always apply your lessons in my daily practice as a beginner. I trained my self on my own :D . That's why I'm asking for Ms. Anna's new videos to see her improvements now in order for me to be more inspired since she start a beginner too.
I noticed that the slinger bag gives you a lot of topspin. It flies super slow, but then when it hits the ground it sort of deforms the ball. It then goes back to it's original shape and goes faster. That maybe a reason Anna is messing it up
It takes a few minutes to adjust to the spin, but then it’s ok
It’s a horrible machine.
@@Secretasianman969 I love it !
@@akio2730 , It’s great for beginners like you!
What strings does she play with and what are the orange ones you will put in for her?
Rpm blast 👉 kirschbaum super smash

Good job Anna
Go Anna! 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾
Where can I purchase this ball machine??
Is she using a junior version of the new pure drive?
what racquet does she have?
GJ Anna!
I think she's more into learning by demonstration, imitation and kinesthetics rather than by verbal explanations. She wants to see how it's done and probably gets corrections better by physically moving her into position and along movements.
Can anyone recommend other good ball throwing machines in a similar price range? I've read a lot of comments saying that the machine has too much topspin...
When she put legs and weight transfer on forehand it will be awesome
love to see you using the Slinger. I am a big advocate for it since its price points makes it WAY more accessible for players. If anna also had one of her own she would improve SO much faster I believe since she could take the tips Nick gives her and work on it in between lessons.
It’s great but also a little sad that it can only generate topspin
@@supermuskelmann8557 yeah it would be great if it had 2 wheels to produce different spin. BUT if thats what has to be done to keep the price down (idk if thats true just thinking) its pretty great. There are a bunch of options out there for people who want more out of a machine. I actually put together a buyers guide for people who are trying to figure it out.

Whats machine name and model?
Too many students like Anna there will be a shortage of ball machines:)
Good student sir
Would love to see you troll Shamir with that ball machine =P
Give the guy a break 😂😂
Anna looks so fit! 😉
Nick, I’m sick of paying for restring jobs and having to wait a week plus! What is the best portable restringing kit under $1000? Could you make a video showing how you restring rackets? 👍🎾
There are master stringers on TH-cam. I don’t string as good as those guys, therefore won’t be making a video on how to string.
@@IntuitiveTennis Fair enough.
@@sportscastercanada pro-stringer.com/product/tennis-stringing-machine-platinum-2/, TennisSpin ITF pro has a video on this. TennisSpin also has good videos how to string.
Machine is unbeatable aha
Great lesson and impressive improvement by Anna thanks to great coaching. I learned a lot.
I still think you need a MUCH less attractive student so that I can be less distracted and absorb more information :)
👍
Slinger spottet.
Where you are teaching
❤️❤️
I got same machine. :)
"The tennis balls machine attack" Now in theaters
Shouldn’t you make a lesson on preparation and footwork with her?
I feel like she’s never ready for the next shot because she doesn’t move after her stroke and she watches too long where the ball is going.
Like every male player up to 3.5 does? And, every woman up to 4.0? She needs muscle memory for each stroke at this point.
Ana stay with your body strait up and split. This is what is hurting your shot the most. Is hard to turn the body and racket from the position that you are beginning the preparation with with the leg bended and the body forward. Just stay with a strait body like in the ball room dancing. You just cave when when the racket goes backwards.
Hey I need to buy this machine can you send me the name please
Did you guys smash......... any overheads?
Can a tennis ball machine reduce the workload of a coach?
18:07 stick it in the trunk? i like where u going with this my boi
I keep starring at Anna Legs..
looks like kyrgios’ fh
Anna Kournikova 2.0 ;)
Anna looks hotter and hotter!!
backhand is better than forehand
I wanna be a tennis coach.. 🙃
Self-Note: 4:10
tell her to move her feet or do agility practice
Lol she's hilarious.
Let her hit on the 2nd bounce if ball lands too short. When she has to move up, her balance is completely off. Let her learn the proper swing first. Also, on her forehand, get her bicep away from her body more. Often times her elbow/ bicept is too close to her body, jamming her swing. Also explain to her that the swing is in a figure 8 shape. Perhaps all of this is too advance for her at this stage, but I think she will pick it in no time.
I love Anna's top, can you ask her what make is it please ?
Shoot her a dm on IG annarogers7
@@IntuitiveTennis thanks
Slinger machine generates too much topspin, especially for beginners and even intermediate players. You could see Anna being late as other players she normally plays with do not generate that much topspin.
It doesn’t when you adjust it to a low angle and slow the speed down.
Finally Nikola is starting to have a crush on Anna
Who wouldn’t
He’s married
@@ben1147 Also she’s
He always did. That's why he showcases her and her ridiculous outfits. And thinks she'll be a 5.0. I'm sorry she seems very non-athletic. I'm totally bored by her videos. I know people who started late in life and they are not like that. She is a dancer, but seems very awkward and slow.
@@mercurial5810 I think she likes flirting but he doesn’t. I’m new in the channel and I saw another girl about 40 years old or less, she is more interesting and doesn’t go flirting
@@alvaromena7548 I think he likes it! Married or not, he fancies her. Who would give you their ball machine! None of the pros I know!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssss!!
What was this video about again, I got distracted
It's nice looking at a player just learning how to play the sport. You learn and reminisce about what you use to do. However, I feel like people are here less about getting information about learning about tennis... I wonder if a larger guy with no athletic ability in sweat pants and baggy shirt would get views.
Damn her tan is on point
She's a little high over the ball right before contact as far as i can see, so shes creating less Topspin than she could
