Timing in tennis is often overlooked because there so much attention put into technique. As if correct technique would solve all your tennis problems. If you're an adult recreational tennis player, then poor timing and rhythm and most likely causes for most of your errors and not really incorrect technique.
The following drills help you improve timing in tennis, develop better rhythm and consequently improve your consistency and the ability to generate power.

If you look at the top pros like Djokovic, Federer, Murray, etc - you will see that they are not rushed despite receiving very fast balls. That's because they have optimized their timing and rhythm of their strokes.
The best way in my experience is to find time behind you so that you feel that you can GRADUALLY accelerate the racquet towards the ball even if is fast. With practice and awareness your timing will improve, but you have to give it time...
i recon that pun was intended
The "down, up" concept is brilliant - I really struggle with hitting on the rise against heavy topspin and this is a huge help! Thank you so much for the great tip!!
I've watched many tips from various trainers but these are very very good drills thx
Theo Beulakker hi grandpa
This video solved most of my problems… I’ve been struggling and watching videos but nothing helped until I watched this one… thank you so much!!!!
Tomaz, again you amaze me! I've never seen anyone so in tune with the "FEEL" of how to play tennis before. I'm at the pro level and I learn something every time I watch your videos! You're awesome! Thanks for making these videos. You always provide fresh and great content for any level. Thanks for thinking on your own and not subscribing to how all the others teach out there.
You are a superb tennis coach! Even though you are teaching online tennis course, so many coach onsite still cannot beat you in teaching and improving the student's game. Just your this one lesson definitely improve many students beyond taking 12 sessions from a onsite coach.
Great advice!! I crowded the baseline for years because I thought that is where I am supposed to be. Now I am 6 feet behind the baseline & have TIME to execute my strokes. Thx
How can people dislike this video. Either they don’t understand tennis or they never played it. I have seen many of this videos and I can find something to learn from every single one. Well done Tomasz
I have to say thank you. After many many I- lessons I have to air that you have spot lights for your lessons. You are a top teacher. Thanks again
Tomaz, I like your idea of "aligning" on the incoming ball. Brilliant! Keep up the good work! John
I've been teaching for years and I always learn something new here. Thanks for sharing!
The idea of moving up and down the the ball, I think that is in the top 3 most helpful concepts there are. I cannot overstate how much this helps my timing and getting clean contact. Everything else becomes much easier.

I tried it and it made a big difference. Reall hit better and timing seemed improved. thanks..
More genius tips from Feel Tennis. The last one alone is a massive insight.
Outstanding instruction - thanks Tomaz.

This (particularly #3) and there is another video by Tomacz about tracking with your back foot are the best. Really transformed my strokes
Such a great idea standing back and hit the ball as it drops. Even in the service box people stand close to the line or even in the box so they’re forced to hit every ball on the rise. I teach and always make sure they start back then change as timing improves. Very good video👍
Love your videos coach, wish I could take some lessons with you.
your tips are spot on as always and the more I play the more I realise how important timing is :)
I like the first drill as you do have "more" time. Another dill would help is two bounce drill. Have your practice parner or coach return balls higher and softer you always hit the ball on the 2nd bounce. This should give you "more time" as well. Once you are confortable with 2 bounces, then try return with one bounce.
Rhytham is not easy to master, but the "up and down" drill is a good one to srart.
Great quality instruction as usual. Going right now the court to try it out!
Great point on following the ball, Tomaz! Thank you.
dude, you are easily my fav tennis video instructor. My friends really think you are tops also ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I am very happy to found your video lessons Thomas , you do have a special skill to teach Tennis and I thank you for that ! .
Those are excellent tips. Thanks a million. Can't wait to try them!!!
Best tennis instructor i have ever seen.
Very good, I watched others drills and I find this one to be simple and more effective.
I recently joined tennis, and I gotta say that your videos and tips really helped. I will keep these in mind when practicing so when I hit the ball back it will feel 'effortless'.
Thank You so much.
Timing is one of the most important skills in tennis. Perfect to see videos teaching how to improve this ability.
Thank you again for a great video. You are the best teacher I have seen in youtube
Great video. Tried it out for the first time today. I can see how practicing this more will help. Thanks!
I did this with kids as young as 5 yrs old before seeing this video. A phrase I constantly used was "down with the ball, up with the ball". It helped a lot.
Am not a player, my children learnt in KSLTA Bangalore, now coaching my granddaughter with some basic knowledge. Your teaching helps me me a lot, Thank you.
In my book, you are the best teacher of tennis!. You are doing excellent service to the whole tennis industry than anyone I have known...who were 'commercial, organized' teachers. Pls. keep on doing your good work here at youtube, etc.
Love those tips. I will definitely practice them because my timing hasn't been consistent yet. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the tips! My game has improved tremendously since I started watching your videos and putting your advice into practice.
great tip hope you make more videos like this which are easy to understand and to apply
Thanks for your generosity in posting these very useful tips. I would be ecstatic if tennis could feel effortless.
I mess up my timing especially against relatively powerful shots even if they are coming right at my racket. I swing early or late and stuff. These exercises look brilliant. Cant wait to try them.
Sounds like exactly what I can use to improve, thanks! Couldn’t find this anywhere else.
Thanks for the reply. After watching tip 2 several times I finally got you drift. Great stuff...keep up the good work.
I think this coach well knows how to use kinetic energy smoothly. Thx!
Hi Tomaz, thanks for the drills and descriptions. I really like the part about lowering with the ball. But I thought we are supposed to stay low with the ball through contact andrise after contact. And only rise with the ball if its a very high ball, or if the main plan if to generate spin and maybe power and don´t rely to much on ball hight and direction.
A big "thank you!" for sharing your knowlegde, experience and great ability of breaking things down to the most important points.
I'm going to try this. Thanks
That Q reminds of an experience with the Under-18s #1 in my city of 14M.When I rallied with him and his friends I was LATE on everything, but after a while I started catching up with it. Later we watched some video of Tsonga rallying. He said, "Oh, man, that ball comes back so FAST!" How is he going to adjust to that higher speed of play? The ball goes and comes back at the speed it does. The issue iss how soon and how quickly you can make your turn and be prepared to start your stroke.
i would align myself on the baseline thinking if i wasn't there as an aggressive player, others would think i'm not good... hahaha so glad i found this video to realign my insecurity and ideas of 'right' and 'wrong' :)
I'm heading out for a hit tomorrow and i will try ALL drills suggested in this video as I believe it is solid advice :)
Thank you! :)
Great drills ! Thanks
Wonderful👍 this third tip, i've never heard from my trainer. Thank you so much, i will begin to apply this third drill tomorrow.👍💪🎾
Someome told me this and it really resonated with me. If you can hit a still ball very well that means you have good swing technique to a certain extent. but if you can hit it good still but can't hit a oncoming fast ball that means you have bad timing.
Thanks you so much for you, Tomaz. Harm wishes and kind regards from Surabaya East Java Indonesia. May God bless you forever and ever, keep still happy and healthy. Bravo tennis.🙏🙏🤝🤝🥰
The first and the third dirlls are great, they are effective
30+ years of playing and never heard of going up and down with the ball. I’m going to try this out today.
I feel so grateful that I want to hug you! Thank you very much!
Always a great lesson
This is a very important lesson, especially for beginners.
Fantastic analysis. Great! Thank you!
拍得真棒，動作，字幕，講述，也都非常有效率。👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Another really good timing drill goes like this: Both players stand 2 meters back, start rally. As the ball contacts opponent's racket, you begin your turn. As the ball reaches its highest point, so your racket reaches the highest point of your loop. As the ball bounces, so your racket reaches the bottom of your loop to sweep forward. Try to hit the ball back the same height as the incoming shot. Pretty soon you will find that both players can keep up a rally this way all day long.
Thanks for this video! I have try outs tomorrow
Excellent tips...thanks
Thank you very much for these great drills!!! My timing feels so rush, now I know why :) Your videos is very helpful! I like them all :)
Your tips are great.Thank you very much
Hi Thomas! great video! A question.
When You move up, don´t You loose your position?. I allways learned that in the moment of impact is not good to move the body.
Why can't I like this video twice.
This is an excellent video. Once again, thanks, coach!
Thanks for very productive training.
Tomaz, thank you so much for your valuable tips, which worth a lot for tennis lovers !

Excellent tip on allowing enough time. Moving up or down. Effortless. Thanks!

Tomazc, Excellent tip! But is there anything you could suggest to improve inside in forehand. I am unable to hit that shot with any consistency or confidence. I can hold rallies in small V and play inside out forehands but struggle with inside in. Thanks in advance! - Kaz
Kazim Das and
