Overview

This video explains a tennis technique for hitting a rising / “up” ball (a ball that lifts) and for contacting the ball as it lands near your feet.

Key Points

  • Lower racket position is essential

    • The racket tip must point downward (“below zero”).
    • A common mistake is starting the racket too high, which can cause a V-shaped drop then rise, making timing difficult.

  • How to swing

    • When pulling the racket back for the shot, it should start low.
    • Instead of dropping and immediately coming back up, the motion should lower from your current position and then return, creating a smoother trajectory.

  • “Nike check mark” feeling / swing path

    • The instructor describes the desired feel as the end of the swing traveling toward the ankle (going down, then coming up).
    • Pausing while the racket is lowering can increase upward forces, causing the racket to rise too much.

  • Backhand guidance (forehand + one-handed backhand)

    • For both forehand and one-handed backhand, aim to feel the motion going down to a specific point, then striking.
    • Avoid a large U-shaped swing.

  • Deep ball execution tip

    • Reinforces the “starting from the ankle” feeling, but warns against simply “digging up.”
    • The video describes a concept like building an infinity (sideways 8) shape with the swing path.
    • Keep the racket from rising too much so the ball doesn’t launch too high and give the opponent an easier finish.
    • The goal is a sideways-8 trajectory while swinging down toward the ankle.

  • Final instruction

    • The swing should “come out” correctly when you can execute the down-then-through feeling, rather than pulling straight up or using an incorrect shape.
