An OLYMPIAN taught me how to use my wrist

Published 2024-06-05
We're back with the goat for another lesson and this time she really outdid herself. I've struggled so much with control against higher-level opponents and now I finally have a way to move forward! I hope you guys enjoy the tips and make sure you subscribe to see more content like this. Make sure to check out the rest of my videos with Amy and thanks so much for stopping by the channel!

    these lessons with her are the best. she has a way of explaining things that even i can understand.

    As a coach, and a player for over 50 years...I can see that she has a strong knowledge of advanced play. One or two corrections, well explained... the difference between 1500 and 2000-2500 levels of consistency. Once you have the "relaxed" arm and supple wrist in line with the arm; then you will learn exactly when to tense the wrist for maximum spin at end; then add rotation and power "loading" from the legs and torso (another lesson or two); all while doing footwork exercises = 2,000 level player with practice at least 3-days a week.

    She said " You CANNOT tighten EVERYTHING" .... either stiffen shoulder OR stiffen upper-arm OR stiffen forearm OR stiffen wrist. and there is one more thing .... stiffen fingers .... BUT NOT ALL TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME. πŸ˜€ So your motion should start with loose feet, knees, waist, core, chest, shoulder,upper/lower arms, wrist AND loose grip. You tighten feet, loosen feet, tighten knees, loosen knees, --> continue up the chain, UNTIL YOU TIGHTEN Wrist, Loosen Wrist ... Tighten FINGERS .... AS YOU MEET THE BALL ON THE RUBBER ... Loosen FINGERS as the ball is about to leave the rubber for that last millisecond of control and power .... πŸ˜€ Have fun dude. πŸ˜€
  • she is so cool. How awesome that you got to catch an "aha" lightbulb moment like this on camera
  • @hinhkhieu5761
    All the videos are wonderful. Do you have a video of her teaching how to push (forehand and backhand pushes) or return spinny serves? I'd greatly appreciate your posting.

  • @andradelipe01
    Wow! Thank you so much! Now I go practice with a towel. I meant seriously, is a great idea πŸ’‘
  • @lupo3694
    She basically told him to use his arm more like a whip not a bat. Makes total sense.
  • @Wisstihrwas
    Same teachings are very useful to my game. Im use to 'hit' the ball not spin it
