Great strokes.

Your two-handed backhand on high strokes struggles a little bit.

 

[10nistennis]

Your contact zone for your strokes is not consistent.

Sometimes you are hitting above your head, sometimes you are reaching for it, sometimes you are hitting it too late, sometimes you are hitting it too early. This happened more in the earlier part of the video.

A lot of times you hit your backhand when it is head level. At max, you want to hit your backhand a little lower than your shoulder. Anything above this point will produce a weak, awkward and inconsistent shot.


All this can be fixed with better footwork and timing practice.

Since you already seem to know it, your real only problem is your footwork. I wouldn't change a thing in your stroke mechanics themselves before you get your footwork down because your bad footwork is causing your strokes to deteriorate. You don't get into position on time and end up hitting awkward shots, plus about 80% of those balls would be sailing long had you been on a court. You really need better and faster movement which only comes with footwork drills.

Hey, jau ... welcome to TTW ... and ... your english is fine ... we have an international group here on TTW ... if you don't mind my asking, where were you practicing ... looks a little cool to me ... anyway, I agree totally with pv ... your stroke mechanics are not bad ... however, to hit the ball properly, consistently, and with pace, you need to get into the proper hitting position ... you can only do this with improved movement and footwork ... good luck and good hitting!

You have all the elements we're looking for. Just need some help but it looks to me your on your way but your strokes are rather basic and a little bit too loose. Keep hitting but an hour or two with a pro could really help you nail down some of the areas.

thx all!
do you guys know any good footwork drills or should i just find some at youtube ;D we can do both ;D

Hehe Davis im just playing against the wall on my hometown school, in a small town in Sweden. we dont have a real court here so we tried to build a playable court on the hockey rink, the surface its some kind of clay but its too soft so after 30 minutes of playing on it the ball bounces everyware ;P too low, too high, left and right. but it works better now since its been hot here for some weeks now ;D
I can post some pictures of the field later HEHE you guys will laugh;D
