In this Tennis Masterclass, I talk about the Basics of Tactics. Have you ever wondered why some players can hit great shots but never seem to rise up the rankings or win big titles? It could very well be due to tactics.
Tactics are what differentiates great match players from great ball strikers. If you want to improve your match toughness, take a look at this video as I break down various tactics and how they help make you a more effective player.

    • ​@@paulbutterworth7707it can even be a recreational league. There are various categories of play. He can play for certain rewards, even if he doesn't go pro. Moreover, he can play just for the challenge. That's completely reasonable. His choice.

  • Hitting with depth is a standard rule. However most players in the park arent close to pro level. I play recreational & most ppl arent that mobile. So ironically playing short is very often an advantage.

    • I agree. Just to add something you already imply but the video doesn't explain about short balls. For recreational players it drains much more strength than play from side to side. Also technically we (low level recreational players) aren't technically good enough to attack the ball well when sprinting forward - side to side motions are more easy. Basically, any type of variety you give them the more problems they (we) have.

    • Yes- making unfit rec players run up and down the court pays off eventually 😂

      @Mattmerrison@Mattmerrison8 ай бұрын
    • I would say that pushing and pulling (seen at the pro level with drop shots) works well as long as variety is a part of your game. It is a great point that many recreational players don't want to move. I thought Patrick talks about hitting short & low. He was clear about the vulnerability of players. Aggression matters for (we) recreational players. I wish more tactical videos, like this were out there. I would love a deeper dive.

    • A lot of players are so unfit they will actually complain about short balls as if you’re not playing ‘real’ tennis - ie the tennis they can play. Punish those players

    @meditationman415@meditationman4159 ай бұрын
    • From experience, practice points can help with tactics. Drills will help with your mobility and adjusting to different circumstances and rallies can help improve your technique. This is how I do things myself, I don’t know if it applies to everyone

    • Depends on your level, I guess. If we talk about beginner, learning correct technique is the first thing. Correction of inappropriate muscle memory afterwards would be a hard task.

      @ildarb813@ildarb8139 ай бұрын
    • Thinking about it, for me, having the right technique is the first step. Tomaz from Feeltennis has courses for each stroke at $100 per stroke, and they couldn't be better. Truly extraordinary. Then i have found that shadow swinging is super useful. Then not thinking about technique when i play Except, pronating the serve, and forehand. Which do not happen unless i consciously do it. And finally Concentrate on the tension in the body when playing , nothing else, particularly in matches. This helps to be very relaxed. And stops any forcing of shots.

    • Sleep with tennis racket under your pillow

      @jakstrike1@jakstrike19 ай бұрын
    • The answer is: depends on your current level. Are you a beginner? Intermediate? Advanced? If you’re beginner it’s recommended you work on technique alone, don’t even try play matches. Intermediate (most of us here): little of everything, a good coach and competitive matches are way to go! Advanced: here your technique is already pretty good so good movement (needs decent physique) and tactics (mental) are key to get better

  • Great stuff! Another good reason to play cross is that the net is lower in the middle and the court becomes longer. So you you're less likely to hit out long or in the net.

  • I love your channel. Thank you for posting all these great videos. Do you have a video or tips on what tactic to use when you play and suddenly became tired. I noticed in recreational matches players get tired at different times during the match, which makes them perform bad for a short time and often give another player time to gain back advantage. Kids have this dynamic too. After extreme tiredness the player will recuperate and suddenly start playing well again. More often, it will be too late as another player gained too much advantage. So what are the tips on playing during a few minutes of extreme tiredness?

    • Always take your time between points and use towels to dry off your sweat between sets, stay hydrated, stay energized with snacks, and try to practice mindfulness to stay in the moment. One other tip I have found to help dramatically is holding your racket in your offhand lightly to give your dominant arm/hand time to rest and only hold the racket when actively playing.

    • Suddenly making a string of silly errors out of nowhere is a sign of brain fatigue due to dehydration. Drink water. Slow down.

      @kaialoha@kaialoha9 ай бұрын
    • First of all you have the tips already given. What I would do when tired is indeed not to engage in long rally's and if you feel you will be losing points anyway - at least make your opponent tired! The best way to do this is to make them move forward and backwards - it is way more tiring than side to side movements. So play one ball deep, then short, then deep (lob for example). If you are still in the point you can proceed with this.

  • So… feedback on your video… You are using terms that I do not currently find very useful like “cross” because I do not know what that means. I follow and play tennis enough to know what forehand, backhand, serve, etc mean and know the rules of the game and basic shots like top spin and slice, but I do not know what cross means. A video someone made on racing lines for auto sports went like this. 1. He mentioned grip and traction then linked to a video where he went more in-depth on those while giving a brief summary/refresher on them with a time code to skip that section. I already know what grip and traction are and how they work so I skipped to the next section. But I’m sure the way I don’t know what cross means some people don’t know what those are or need a refresher and watched the other video and/or the refresher on what those are. I might come check this out again after I learn the terms I need to.
