Meike, I love the fact that you emphasis the movement of the outside leg first and the continuation steps after contact. Same thing I teach 👍🏾.

Another excellent lesson, coach Meike. Yes, I am sounding like a super fan of your teaching, and it is true. I want other viewers to know that I do not get paid by coach Meike and I do not know her personally. There are other good coaches out there and almost most of them are men. But it appears to me that most of them do not emphasize the biomechanics of tennis strokes enough. Maybe it is because being a male with more muscle mass and natural physical ability, men can get away with unsound biomechanics. At the tennis club I play at, I have seen most male players use brute force, arm strength to hit the ball. So, men may find these coaches’s approach more suitable for them. I am not saying that the male coaches teach brute force or muscle strength, they are just not putting enough emphasis on biomechanics. By the way I am a man, a-skinny one with not much muscles. In my mind, the nuances that coach Meike touches on in her lessons are based on sound biomechanics. How do I know ? I took what coach Meike taught to the court for test-drives. They help me in a big way, or ‘ bigly’ ? 😄. If one wants to hit the ball more EFFICIENTLY, I would venture to say that a female coach with good credentials is a very good choice. Thanks again, coach Meike.

Excellent thorough presentation, Meike. One other advantage of stepping with the outside leg first is that, you first can adjust your lateral position to the ball and then finish the positioning with the inside leg. If you set with the inside leg first you may not make an accurate enough lateral movement and you can no longer adjust laterally with the legs because the inside leg finalizes this movement.

Prima Format mit informativen Videos. Habe gleich den Kanal abonniert. Ich habe Sie noch in ihrer aktiven Zeit spielen sehen und fand ihr Spiel schön abwechslungsreich im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Profis zu der Zeit. Ich kann mich noch an ihr FED-Cup Doppel mit Anke Huber erinnern. War glaube ich 1997 !?Jedenfalls prima, dass jemand, der genau weiß wovon er spricht, solche Videos für uns ambitionierte Hobbyspieler macht. Viele Grüße aus München, Rainer

The precise movement forward shows the contact point well and suggests a hit in a straight forward direction. What adjustment are suggested to angle slightly or severely to a strategic location depending on opponents positions?

Can you do a video on increasing the weight of your shot? A 5.0's ball feel heavier on the racquet and it doesn't seem like it's the spin as it doesn't jump up much. 4.5 player. Love your instructions.

The Continental grip felt awful on the serve at first but I quickly got used to it within a year. Now I love it. On the volleys however, even after many years, the Continental grip on volleys still feels weak, unsupported and uncomfortable. Sad, but true. 😥

A lot of pop on the volleys comes also from getting your legs involved. Maybe that's something that needs more work?

Hi! Great video. Thanks for all the info! I'd love to see a more detailed "Forehand tutorial" video or series of videos. Also, common forehand faults and fixes. On the forehand, I'm interested in the racket drop, lock-in position, and how to fix over-use of the wrist in around contact (dropping too far below the ball and using wrist during contact). Enjoying you channel! Thank you!

Mrs. Babel, I love your tennis tips but this time I have a big doubt about the forehand grip volley. I have seen in other videos that the correct grip for FH volley is the Australian which is a continental but more for eastern grip, so, they say, allows you to hit more solid volleys. Tell me what do you know about this please. Thank you very much in advance.
@MeikeBabelTennis
2 жыл бұрын
Uhm, I have seen a video where the coach advocates for 2 different volley grips and I don't agree with that at all. Let's put it this way: I worked with two coaches who coached Pete Sampras and Martina Navratilova respectively and it was all continental grip. Could there be the ever so slight shift to a "soft" continental on higher volleys? Possibly if you are at a very high level as in world class. The absolute vast majority of rec players struggle with volleys anyway and to make them choose between two grips for forehand and backhand volley will exacerbate the problems even more, especially on the BH volley if they don't come over into a proper continental. I keep one grip and vary how open/ closed the racketface is by using wrist and forearm/ upper body.
