excellent video thanks! love the five things to keep track of, you can keep em in your brain as you practice and improve. :) also, suggestion for a future backhand video: please discuss the shoulder a little more, for example, how to determine its height during the prep and forward motion. have seen some folks talk about dropping it and leaning in etc. thanks!

Very resonating instructions. Listen to this man

Perhaps I wanna see next from you is how to serve at same toss area akin to Roger Federer (flat, slice & kick). Tons of thanks John

Really like your backhand John. My observation of the teaching from natural one-handed coaches such as you is that the initial focus is mainly about feel and rhythm. Conversely, a two-handed coach teaching a one hander would usually try to emphasis on how to achieve stability and power through body structure, which are of course the strengths of a two hander. They often look rather stiff as the result. A great video.

Thanks so much for your comments and contribution to the video discussion. Balance and rhythm are definitely essential for the one-hander to flow effortlessly and generate power. The two hander is more core-rotation based. Kindly, John

Hi john love your lessons been hitting up on with ball machine based on your lessons and seen big improvement love your work it’s simple and effective. Are you able to do a lesson with some drills on getting your weight forward on the forehand. In particular I struggle with foot work on the open forehand and a lot of the time end up on the back foot. I Don’t have the same issue on the backhand. Struggling to consistently get the weight moving forward

Hi Tee, I think the concept of windshield wiper backhand is ok as long as the movement is developed from the right power source. I see and hear too many coaches (and commentators) talking about the wrist...the action and power is not coming the from the wrist. Best, John

Sure, I can do that! Stay tuned!

All of your videos are excellent. You didn’t really address topspin and how you get it on this stroke. Your swing path looks rather horizontal and likely producing a fairly flat ball How can I get a heavier topspin shot that really takes off or that can give more net clearence?

Wonderful, wonderful lesson, John! Question: With the one-handed backhand, how mindful (if at all) should one be about ‘planting’ the right foot/leg (for a right-handed player) and then swinging ‘around it’?

@PerformancePlusTennis

3 жыл бұрын

Hi David, Thank you so much! Great question, and perhaps a concept I have not heard before. I like the idea because if we trace the path the hand takes in the swing, it certainly has an "around and up" pattern. Just be careful not to over rotate the shoulders before contact...let the follow-thru momentum bring your shoulders around to face the net. Are there any lessons you would like to see in the near future? Thanks again, John

Performance Plus Tennis Appreciate you asking, John. I’ve actually been thinking a lot about it and I’d absolutely love to see a lesson dedicated to the non-playing hand and it’s role in the forehand, backhand (both one and two-handed), forehand volley, backhand volley, serve and overhead. I know that you speak to the role of the non-playing hand in your various lessons. But to have a stand-alone PPT lesson that lays out the role of the ‘hand that does all the work’ would be such a gem and one that I’d replay to my 8 1/2-year old son over and over and over again...

@@davidkim8134 Hi David, Thanks for the recommendation for a comprehensive video on the non-playing hand. This is certainly a key concept that I emphasize on most, if not all shots. In fact, I get into even greater detail in the courses inside the PPT Membership, along with the other vital principles to building a great foundation. These principles are my "golden nuggets"! I have not seen another coach understand or present these concepts in the level of detail, or the building sequence that I have created. So all this to say, I reserve the complete concepts for those who enroll in our membership or buy a course on the website. The good news is we are expanding our KZread Channel to feature more lessons beginning Sept. 1st. While the details have not been finalized, there will be various levels of access and benefits beyond our weekly published lessons. Stay tuned! Kindly, John
