I think one of the important things to do in tennis is to keep the racquet head above the grip level for most kinds of shots...All your videos contain lots of insights and easy to understand lessons...Top tennis training is one of the best tennis channels I have ever seen...

Good job and thank you deeply for your content here for free! May your overgrips always be perfect on your rackets! ❤️🙏

The tip at 6:29 is brilliant. I tend to grip the racket way too tight and end up losing power in my shots and becoming fatigued easily. Definitely will following the advice on keeping the fingers loose when taking the racket back and then grip tighter on the swing. Cheers

Awesome! Thank you so much! I struggle with the lag and your tips on the wrist and releasing the fingers seem to work. Amazing!
