Very good tutorial! Also, a good way to practice is have someone feed you balls continuously, that way you get to practice your smashes and your friend gets to practice his/her blocks! It works for me. : D

You are right, but this video is only part two of a four part series, for example part 3 looks at the more advanced technique of using the wrist.

hi arneljoseph21, the only video so far talking about spin is the “stage 3″ of this backhand series which looks at using the wrist to generate topspin.
thanks

i disagree. videos are a great tool for modeling your strokes. provided you have a computer, a full length mirror, and the discipline to perform “shadow strokes” you can improve mechanics drastically.

in this sport look a video doesn´t help you have to play a lot of time and have talent , this is not playing carts, look my videos and th we talk about this…

i love the way you talk, excellent explanation. You are voluble as well, a pleasure to listen to.

Thanks for the compliment Echschmet but these are meant as a stepping stone for players. Hard work, good coaching, mental application and a bit of luck would help.

yeah pinarello001 is too sensitive!
He must have failed to understand this is for
INTERMEDIATE players!
Not Circuit players

Detailed response from Jim Clegg forwarded direct to pinarello001.
For the record your comment about Jim being amused by the failure of the receiver to return the ball is inaccurate. Jim was pleased because he’d demonstrated the shot he was describing not because the other player couldn’t return it. It is not easy to be filmed coaching, talking, playing and demonstrating all at the same time.

There seems to be a common thread of over-simplification of what is theoretically the most technical game in the world. We have not got kids beyond the age of 18 into senior ranks because we fail to provide them with the technical confidence required. The modern game is so fast and so dynamic that we cannot teach kids this way. Where is the fun in this delivery? Why was he amused by the failure of the receiver’s struggle to deal with what is essentially a medium paced ball with little top-spin?

‘Amazing speed’ – who are you kidding?
Where is the top-spin? He’s far too rigid.
Its much more importatnt to get young players loose with their actions and then get control and consistency with time. It is extraordinarily difficult to take a player who is too rigid and try to get them to loosen up – you must start from the beginning. Look at Tisch-Tennis DVD with Christain Suss and the way beginners are introduced to forehand topspin kneeling on the floor, same with backhand.
