I have to say this is one of the best videos I've watched on split step and movement to the ball. As I am aging I noticed am having some issues with tracking the ball as well, it could be that I have developed visual and/or flexibility limitations and I have them more often when I am getting fatigued.. Looking forward to trying your visual training . I am a fan!

Other coaches have advocated timing your split step so that you are still in the air at the point when you can determine the direction of the ball. As a result, you can adjust your landing (usually by "reaching" with the outside foot and pivoting with the inside foot) so as to land with your weight and momentum already going in the correct direction. What are your thoughts on this technique?

If someone gets the timing then it can work well. If you analyze the pro's they do both. Sometimes landed with an even distribution sometimes as you described above. Realistically most adult intermediate players are going to struggle to time it.

Excellent video. Recreational players like me should pay more attention to this component of the game, because we think that the most enjoyable part is hitting the ball ... but if we understood that this helps us hitting more consistently, we should change perspective. On the other hand keep doing this during an entire match is hard for recreational players because it demands from you to be fit enough

Try hitting the ball earlier at it's highest point! Also gives you the mentality to go "towards" the ball. Hehe not an expert but that's what they always told me and it definitely makes a difference

Depending on what ball you are dealing with and what level you are it sounds like a good plan 😀 When dealing with deep balls, good preparation for a lot of people is to move back quickly.

I fail at focusing on opponents contact. I think I am looking in the general direction but not processing that. Not sure what I am looking at. Might be the back fence or trees or whatever. I will often play a set and not even remember if opponent hit with a one handed or two handed backhand.

It’s good that you are aware if that because you have a starting point. Make watching your opponent and “seeing” the ball come off their strings a priority

Hello! Great video! What do you think about strabismus (crossed eyes problem)? I have it. I know it affects some part of focusing and vision in general. I am a good tennis player. I mean pretty high level for amateurs - I would say 4.5 level. I can time the ball pretty well, I also played football/soccer so I am pretty good at tracking the ball and timing in general. But I wonder if some of the times I hit the ball wrong/badly, especially on the difficult volleys, could it be because of that eye problem? And, I know this problem is only fixable with operation and it's not really an easy peasy. Could it be that and could I do anything to fix it? From what I know it's my right eye that's pointed more towards the center(the other eye) while I am looking straight in front.

If you play at 4.5 level, you must be compensating very well. But yes, i would imagine it has to be created challenges for your game. Depending on the severity, there is most likely something you can do to improve it. If you want to chat, use this link. www.tennishacker.net/strategy-call

If you had to choose one, is it better to be early or late on your split step?
@TennisHacker
2 жыл бұрын
Hard question, depending by how much, probably late because otherwise you lose the spring like effect. But obviously if you are really late then it defeats the purpose anyway.

Really great tips. What is your advice for older players that can't bend their knees so much any more - also not with training- and therefore cannot reach the optimal splitstep position?
@TennisHacker
2 жыл бұрын
My advice is to do everything you can to improve your movement and how much your knees bend. In my experience (and I've worked with players in their 80's), there is always something that will help. These 2 videos will give you some basics: Mobility - kzitem.info/news/bejne/u4Rmz4d-jWp4oZg Nerve drill - kzitem.info/news/bejne/0qlor2aCe6hld6Q But there is a lot more you can do. If you would like help with it, the best plan is to chat. You can use the following link to arrange a time: www.tennishacker.net/application-survey
