Just to correct everyone's stupidity. Yes the video is mediocre at best but it has a couple good points.
No Man's land: Horrible idea to be there unless you are coming in because as soon as you get a deep ball you're done. (Agassi excluded)
Moving forward with your shot is called proper footwork. The key is to move in as you strike. Just watch federer. Or this video which explains it well: youtube.com/watch?v=R5CWAwtijVI
1.20. This is a running backwards front foot hop with a side kick for balance. Use this when you have a floating ball. Federer uses this a lot, ripping a ball outside-in down the line. I would teach this to advanced players!
yea i dont know about the color coding part. I can see this guy is hanging out in no mans land. if this wasn't a drill, i'm not sure how effective his overall game would be. and what did the first half of this video have to do with the second? i dunno.
You say that, by pushing the right leg forward (about 1:20 in your video), more weight is pushed into the ball; however, I'm wondering how weight can be transferred into the ball by actions which take place AFTER the ball has left the strings.
Yep. The follow through is made so that proper stroke mechanics are made and you will not get injured. Also gives more push on the ball. But you can't affect the ball once it leaves the strings..
you don't know how tennis works... this is to avoid being out of balance, injury and specially improper position if you don't follow the mechanics., improper position leaves you vulnerable when the ball comes back at you...! understand?

The first drill is a good one. Doesn't help much with stance, but it gives you a feel for your contact point. But the guy who was doing it, hit nothing but moonballs.
But these aren't pro drills. Pro drills are more active and repetetive. Maybe the second is a college level drill at best (doubt it though). High school drill more likely, because this isn't a very good drill. Too much variation.
There is no such thing as no mans land. That is just a guide for dummies. But pros will boldly go where no man has gone before. Why? Because they can. And because a short ball will have to be hit there. I realize that if you become stuck in no mans land, you want to go up to the net, but I guess he was just working on letting it bounce and practicing an attacking shot. But you are right, he would need to go up to the net after the attacking shot or approach shot.
which pixel is the court?

wait... once the ball leaves the strings, you wouldn't be able to do anything to the ball... Am i right??

Babolat3216:
Right. Once the ball leaves the strings, you're no longer touching the ball, so your actions can no longer affect that ball, correct?
