[62996n]

u look like the man from L.A noire!! that cool

[lucetguyaume]

coup droit 2

[lardmonk]

good gravy he's repetitive

[Angler180DC]

Hey Will, how much is McDonald's paying you for the ad spot? Or, are they just bringing Big Mac's out to the teaching court for you?

[mcSHTT]

just teach me how to fuckin swing the racket! holy shit!

[esalaesman]

quick qestion FYB2007. when u take ur arm back is ur elbow supposed to be bent or close to being straight?

[NorCalibrator]

@esalaesman it should be extended, it shouldnt be bent to much and shouldn't be fully extended. slightly bent.

[fifthbass]

What the fucking shit fuck.

[westhamboi18]

Right 1st thing dude shut the fuck up, your chatting shit.

Next: NO PRO PLAYER TAKES THEIR RACQUET BACK EARLY!!!

They track the ball out in front and only make a loop when the ball bounces.

Once the ball has bounced they then count 1 on the bounce 5 on the hit, watch pro's play and learn DICKHEAD!!!!

[rocketsheat]

how does the other hand not holding the racket help you judgement of the tennis ball

[siongpao]

hey wil, i would like to know how to hit a havy forehand.

[arnesleben]

This guy is guy knows how, trust me!

[mrtenniscoach]

@arnesleben this guy knows fuck all!

[ofpeter]

Is curious that this coach has cutted his hair between the court (at the beginning) and the classroom :), anyway a great coah

[system0fd0wn]

[gewooneerlijk]

good explained

[ihanp]

he's such a cutie

[hernanteje]

no entiendo ingles pero trato de igualar los movimientos!

[annaarora]

thanks a million...this is the first tennis instructional which really helps.....and ive seen many..

[coollion101]

@annaarora I agree mate

[dannitnt]

i know

[justuser82]

Ya i agree with the previous commenter...there must something that i don't understand about the arm helping to balance and make judgements about the ball...ok if the balance part is more or less understandable the ball judgement is a total secret for me ...could u pls expand on that a little bit?

[Electricgypsyboy]

The left arm can also be used to measure the distance of the ball from the body try keeping the ball two feet in front of your left hand and begin starting your swing at the moment. i hope that helps.

[Oreoclan]

If you have something definitive to help you measure the relative distance of the ball away from you in that giant mass of empty space you have to deal with, it becomes much more easy to coordinate your arm and racket to hit the ball. It's part of the reason why beginners can miss so much and get jammed all the time. If you know where your body should be in relation to the ball, your feet will move more to get in position.

Also, it helps with shoulder rotation, which gives you a lot of pop.

[ravi2202]

+1 just for being able to incorporate "giant mass of empty space" into a sentence about tennis xD

[dvsk89]

All I can say is for an eastern you try to hit the ball before it comes behind that left arm. Hit out in front of the left arm to get a better contact point is what ive been told

[MayuraHokodo]

this is awesome, but im getting confused on the part where the 2nd arm that doesnt move the racket, is put across the body?

[himynameisakshay]

I love you guys I've been playing for 2 weeks and I'm better than most people at my school that've been playing for a year or more! Thanx xD

[FYB2007]

arch,

Ya this is a topspin forehand. The spin will pull the ball down faster than a flat forehand, giving you more control.

[swiftlyfadedeath]

@FYB2007 I thought will is right handed, is he not?

[archerd05]

does this create like top spin? so the ball goes down

[ghbtklzi]

dutchboy

You are the best coach who eplain well.

thanks and peace

[FYB2007]

Sopez,

He's adjusting his feet. Unfortunately, my feeds weren't perfect so he had to move slightly to get set. But I've been practicing :)

[Sopez1]

how come when frank does it, he steps back and loads up but then steps forward lol stupid, why does he do that?

[trunks252]

5 starts :)

[hyperwarrior]

Well said!
