AMAZING video. You're a great explainer and the combination of you talking with the details like "this is more of an offensive approach" with the paying clips helped my understanding a lot of each shot.

Thanks for this! I have to do a business statistics project where I have to watch tennis matches and analyze a tennis player's success in using various strokes. As someone who has never really watched tennis, it was helpful getting a visual on what each of the strokes look like!

Great. I've been learning tennis for a year and only do I know find out I only 'mastered' 2/8. Just great.

Man, you weren’t kidding about your form. I suggest taking lessons, even just a few months to see how it goes. The little things like footwork and using your left hand will help you improve a lot.

This was a really clear and concise explanation, thank you! I enjoy watching tennis a lot and really just want to understand it better

Books in the shelf are stacked one over the other - does he really read books?

[sokdonkgaming]

[billswahlen]

Superficial explanations. Terrible demonstrations by a clumsy player.
