its not about the energy its about looking cool

[Jordan-wsjy]

I forgot how hard it was to learn the 2nd when I was young, it's pretty much the only way I pick up a ball. Maybe not so great for my back nowadays though?

[giorassiccuriosity]

Coach Nic picks the ball with his hand. “I love it” respond the student. “DON’T DO THAT!” coach exclaimed!LOL

[JaydenDang-rbbw]

the ball bounce is the most energy usage and longest sustain bend...

[nicholaswiesmann]

Option 3 is hitting the ball to the other person and making them pick it up

[reillyegan]

Man when I first started tennis I learnt these by myself

[mtbforlife]

I always use my foot 😂 the 2nd one is just harder than bending down to grab it, for me

[GingerHater]

My dad always taught me the lift with my foot. I think part of the reason why he always did it was because it’s faster, and he had a bad back so it saved him further injuring himself. When you spend your whole life doing the first way, it really does become second nature.

YOU STILL BENDING OVER JUST AS MUCH DOING THE SECOND THING LOL

[kalebbrijahjones]

Please convince me that bending over and picking it up is harder than bending over hitting it fast a few times and catching it lol

[ericcaleguer]

You are wasting energy? Only thing is that she is playing tennis with the sole purpose of exercising I bet😂

[howelljordan]

lol. I just lunge around to pick them up. Get those legs 💪 and save your back.

[mattytime]

Lmaooo you imagine if you paid tennis lessons and this is the only lesson of the day 😂

[eduellery]

The second way is as tiring as just picking the ball with the hand. Foot + racquet is the only way I do

[h-dawg]

Or just pick it up with your racquet. Or stomp on it to kick it up like a soccer ball to get it. Nadal dose that

[chrissampson]

I never thought of this as a learned skill before. My tennis coach never taught me this. I just naturally did both of these things when I played, I thought I was just being lazy, but I can see now how it's easily overlooked and actually saves time from picking them up by hand.

[grachhhh]

foot and raquet is most optimal and quick

[ashupashu]

2nd method you still bend down to pick it up lol

[TheVSI]

I always used the first one but the second one seems hard. Thanks for the advice about it

[nope]

You need to work on your cardio if leaning over and picking a small ball up is draining you
