Isn't this guy's footwork beautiful to watch?
Effortless looking agility impressed me.To be honest, it looks average, actually above average but nothing you cannot achieve.
Search Mugurza footwork on Youtube I think she has great looking footwork, movement like female version of Federer.

Looks like torture, man! This much intensity can cause a heart attack for an average rec player, I'm serious.
Enjoy
Dont know what to think about the wet ball drill, could be prone to injury for rec players.

Match play aspirations. Solid, measured shots.
Interesting angle of Nadal practice. You get a better feel for the pace and weight of his shot. And this year he was really flattening out shots, so you get to see a lot of that.
yeah he's very active. interesting how he swaps between a 2hander and 1handderIsn't this guy's footwork beautiful to watch?
Its interesting really how much pace is injected into every ball. The rallies are almost ALWAYS against a fast ball. I think thats one thing rec players need to learn to do; inject their own pace and build hours of practice under the pressure of a fast ball. Pushing only wins up until a certain level, if you want to go beyond that then you need to develop the footwork and timing to tango with a fast ball rally. Its almost a different sportInteresting angle of Nadal practice. You get a better feel for the pace and weight of his shot.

I love his intensity, focus and quickness of his feet and overall movement. A pleasure to watch.Been waiting for Callum to hit the college scene. Expect he will be a top singles player, but time will tell. Anyway, explosive and fluid player with variety. Match play starts around 5:30 in.

Love the spin he gets on that backhand. One of my dreams to hit backhands like that.Philllleeeeep!

Nice gloves.
Some great baseliners there. If only they had 1handersLike this angle of video, showing the variety of pace, spin, height and such on shots very clear, as well as the amount of prep and movement needed for positioning.
What stands out to me is the amount of effort put into the game by legs.Like this angle of video, showing the variety of pace, spin, height and such on shots very clear, as well as the amount of prep and movement needed for positioning.
I think thats the key to their consistency. i know if im swinging hard then it aint gonna go in unless im in the right position, and thats all from the legs. I like to think"get my hips level with the contact point", that seems to force me to bend my knees for lower balls and rise up / jump for higher balls, as well as position myself on the court near enough to the ballWhat stands out to me is the amount of effort put into the game by legs.
It's low resolution and no audio but Roger is still Roger.
Rec players would be leveled up if they could play as well/hard normally as Fed does in an easy/soft warm up. lol.
And let's not talk about the variety of arm used in hitting the ball...cuz...no pros ever do.
Since all of that TTW traffic they've killed the video!! Well, for me at least, and it isn't a region specific issue.I sometimes sense some sort of underrating of women's tennis on this forum. This is damn high quality tennis, man!
hilarious... and a good tip about "it's about how fast you can decelerate the racquet (volley swing)". i never thought about it that way

oh, yeah, definitely..Although, I think that applies to volleys that can be attacked: I don't think you want to decelerate sharply when hitting a touch volley or a low one around your shoelaces or even a half-volley because you'd lose a lot of feel.
How much shoulder turn do you think ferrer gets on his forehand? Imo looks less than 90 degrees. His bh looks more than 90 degrees slightlyHitting the ball is easy! As long as you can get to it. That's what matters.
Yeah, looks less than 90 degrees but incredibly consistent anyway, so no problem.How much shoulder turn do you think ferrer gets on his forehand? Imo looks less than 90 degrees. His bh looks more than 90 degrees slightly
I think now that swing path is more important than shoulder turn. I.e. you need the swing path to be driving in the direction you want to hit the ball
Seems like its all about having super grooved strokes that are resilient to all situationsYeah, looks less than 90 degrees but incredibly consistent anyway, so no problem.
