The Variations Of The Tennis Racket Head Angles At Contact

It takes me years to realize that you can put bit side spin on ground strokes depending on contact point height.

Great. I love feel tennis😊

Hi Tomaz. Even if I think players should not care about that, what about the angle of the strings at impact for top spin shots ? I always believed they had to be vertical but it seems there's sometimes an angle of 5° or so, racquet face closed.. How can the ball clear the net if the strings are angled to the ground at impact ? It's due to the low to high swing path ? Thanks a lot.

I am picking up all the nuances that helps the game intuitively.

This can be a tricky subject, because you can tend to be too lose with your wrist, and than have a sloppy shot. The "spaghetti wrist…"

Everything you say just resonates with me, and apparently, with many of us who play recreational or competitive tennis.

This is really an important tip. Thank you so much, Thomas!!

Tomaz, please write a book. I'll be the first to buy it. The last great book was probably Inner Game, so its probably time for another classic. I've been devouring all of your content. Your ability to zero in on issues that typical players face is uncanny. Thanks for all the great work so far and hope there is a lot more in the pipeline.

Thank you very much for your insight, Thomas! So easy to grasp.

When will you ever run out of good stuff

you can hit the ball horizontal when it approaches you too low and too flat. but you must lag and snap your wrist when you hit it, it will be very beautiful shot👌

Pls make a video on how to stop brushing too much

Your videos help me a lot! My coach says the same things about intention, unit turn, pronation, etc. But the message does not sink in. Your videos have a lot of visual effects like slow motion and arrows and your explanation is always clear and precise. The tips and drills are particularly useful. Thank you.

Tomaž, zelo priporočljivo bi bilo, če bi objavil kakšen video samega ogrevanja pred treningom/tekmo.
Sem mnenja, da je to del igre, ki je zelo pomemben.
Hvala in lep pozdrav!

Always very informative and concise answers for all tennis players!   Thanks!!

Awesome video! like always, you are the master. Now I have a question… how about the angle of the face? should it be straight forward? or angled up when the ball is low… or angled down when the ball is high??

Great tip Thomas very helpful to handle with different height balls and how to deal with.

Great video Tomas !

I find your videos very much connecting. the way you explain 🎾 nitty gritty is super awesome!! #respect

What about the face of the racket, i.e. the angle of the racket face around the axis of the handle? Can the racket be facing slightly towards the ground (angled) whilst hitting (especially high balls)? And more open/angled up for shots like the lob?

Great video!
A separate video for the one-handed backhand, Thomas!

These videos have helped me so much over the past year. I really appreciate your teaching style of prioritising feel and mental images over absurd and specific instructions like telling to angle your racket differently by half a degree or hitting the ball a few milliseconds later/earlier.

Thank you, Tomaž and everyone else behind Feel Tennis!
