...I'm a little surprised neither of them attacked the other's backhand more, as that was the obviously weaker stroke for both. Guy in white, you really need to get the power on the one hander from extension and expansion, not from torso rotation...
serves and forehands are okay, but yall should work on the backhand. Both of you guys need to make more space between you and the ball so you don't get all cramped
You commenters should read the description or even the title. It says "2 guys playing tennis", not "two pro guys playing tennis". No-one tricked you into watching this video. Maybe they just decided they wanted up to upload a video of themselves playing and I don't see any harm in that.
your contact point on your forehand is a little close to your body. If you hit the ball just a little farther out, it'll help a lot and your shots won't look so cramped.
You guys arnt bad at all. Especially your serve. Although you should both try to land your forehand deeper into the court to try gettign some easier points.
they were impressive even more impressive that they used a style i favorite-The one handed BH. there good 4.0 material IMO, tho i think my one hander may be better in power wise then wat that one guy showed, but mayb they werent really tryin to play like pros but were just enjoyin a light workout so all in all i enjoyed their performance and this video 5/5
true plus i noticed that the guy in the grey has what many pros call, a dead arm. he dint move his arm with the follow through looked too stiff but still decent
why is everyone being such a dick? It's two guys who want to spend their time playing a fun sport instead of sitting at home watching the tv! gosh. and they don't even play that bad
lol i may not have the consitancey of these guys but i can finish rallys in 2-3 shots my serve is hard to get even adults find it hard to return and i can acutally finish easily
i hate the colors on the courts in my town...purple and light green...when i play tennis, certain colors just arent what i want to see...id rather have blue for the in and orange for the out
I was brought to this video by a more recent one of yours (just weeks ago) Your serves are good, but I find your lack of footwork very disturbing.
More specifically, no split step, no explosiveness in the movement, very few adjustment step. Those are what separates a lower level player from higher level ones. The flatfooted-ness just impairs you on the court.
Your swing path is also very inconsistent, with some finishing around shoulder, some finishing around waist and some not even finished
- Guy in white, At 21 seconds into the video, with better (or what I would call aggressive) footwork, that ball wouldn't be sitting like that. You SHOULD have no reason not to be able to put it away.
- At 1:06, with better footwork, you could have moved away and give yourself more distance from the ball and not having to hit that half-baked groundstroke
These guys aren't so bad, 3.5- 4.0 at best. At least they're consistent-ish... And they can serve. Most of the players on my school's junior varsity team can't even serve.
my coach is a 5.0 player and he won the massachusetts 18 and unders. and when i play him for practice, ill be lucky to get a single game off of him, even though hes like 40
wat makes em look bad.. iz that .. they just hit the ball over.. they dont control it = =... not consistent... they should start hitting the ball down the line or cross court :).. just a suggestion...not trying to be rude

chungthomas 4 years ago
Also
- At 2:07, why take the ball with backhand overhead, you had more than enough time to set up and let the ball bounce and hit a flat drive
- Most shots have low net clearance which means you will more likely shank to the net.
- Most shots lands before service line. If you are to play a tournament, you would be killed love and love because those are just easy putaways

Dude hurry up and smash the ball flat, you dont have to put just top spin on the ball, flat balls can make a faster pace, creating more speed.
