45k views and just 5 comments. What a shame. This was a very informative video. I'm looking forward to my first day. Wish me luck haha.

I find it very interesting to see that many beginners actually never realy know how to hit. There is actually no swing going but always this strange pushing motion of the racket. I really wish I knew how to quickly improve that with beginners. Seems it has to do with a kind of confidence of being able to hit a moving target and therefor not using the wrist. I think actually hitting the ball is secundary to be able to perform a technically good whack with a racket. Maybe you have some tips to help people quickly improve that.

Is there a series of videos like this for beginners? I’m very new myself but also want to help my 10 year old son improve basic skills.

⁠According to my opinion three is no reason to teach a drive in such a static position. It doesn’t help, you can create friendly environments for beginners without this position as well. Also racket preparation is part of the swing, not to forget that racket preparation helps create space which is essential for hitting a good drive.

He is using the wrong ball. The red dot would make it easier on her.

I usually skip this part to about 5mins in 😂

Completely bad approach for teaching a stroke/swing etc for an adult in this level.
