Forehand & Backhand – Yuri Radomsky

Last month as I mentioned on last week’s post, I was down in Porto Alegre City in southern Brazil coaching Tennis Vault client 15 year old Thomas Ramos (few ATP Challenger Tour Futures’ Qualifiers experiences). His current practice partner is ATP Challengers player Yuri Radomsky. We had a great time together, and he also gave me the opportunity to tweak a bit his basic strokes too, which was a blast because Yuri “rocks the ball”!! Check him out, enjoy the ball ripping!! :-)

Forehand & Backhand – Thomas Ramos

Last month I was in Porto Alegre City in southern Brazil coaching a very special Tennis Vault client. The kid’s name is Thomas Ramos,  he’s 15 years old and has a few ATP Challenger Tour Futures’ Qualifiers experiences under his belt. His father Luis Ramos a very nice, smart & funny man, also a tennis player himself, invited me to come down there for a whole week to help his current coach ATP Challengers level player Yuri Radomsky with Thomas’s stroke mechanics. I flew down and much enjoyed the city and hospitality of all people I met. At first we worked on timing, earlier impact more in front (he was hitting late when I met him, and his arm had been paying the price with some pain even at times, as he said). Zip-Zap Timing-Change and Bingo, we were done with that, there was no more arm pain, and hitting now was easier and looser, now he was striking the ball in front every single time!! We made a few quick & good changes, tweaked a few things here and there… and wow! he started to rip away balls effortlessly, crushing his forehands and backhands, hitting very crisp shots, nailing the racket sweet spot every single time now, because of being able to watch the ball better now, because of earlier impact now! And on the Two-Handed Backhand on the video, we still hadn’t changed his preparation back swing yet, which ended up a tight elliptical “loop” style, way smoother. Check him out, enjoy the banging! :-)

Jump Backhands – How & When To Use

In this tennis instructional video clip you will learn an “option variation” on how you can handle a high ball to your backhand side.

Try it out, have some fun!!
