Forehand & Backhand – Michael Damiani

A Tennis Vault subscriber and follower, Mike told me he wanted a general scan on all his basic strokes, and then a revamp job where it was needed or advised. After only one lesson Mike was hitting the ball with “correct fundamentals”, very clean strokes, crisp shots, good stuff!! Welcome back to the sport Mike, cheers!! Check him out 
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!
Forehand Revamp – Ted Before & After
I recently met Ted and had the pleasure to work on his tennis game, he has been following the Tennis Vault’s Videos the past few months. Who says it is too late to do this, or to do that, to learn this, to change that, who said that?? Well, at age “81″ Ted is inspiring!! He just had knee replacement not too long ago, and now is back playing the sport he has loved for the past many years, and as if that is not enough he also wants and is more than ready to revamp and modernize his basic strokes and tennis game. Wow, that shatters some taboos out there!! Check him out:

The Return Of Close Pupil Cole Mogan
In this video I’m very happy to welcome back pupil Cole Mogan to the game of tennis after a three year absence. I taught Cole the game from the ages of 8-11, and now at 14 he’s getting back into the ‘swing’ of things, and hitting forehands and backhands as if he never took a break from the game, just has to get fit, be on his toes and improve on his footwork and he’ll do well in High School Tennis next coming season. For tennis instruction that will stay with you FOREVER, head over to The Tennis Vault, and get your game sharpened & polished up with our videos
Forehand & Backhand – Kelly – London
These two videos below are priceless for me, as Kelly has never ever played tennis before in her whole life. I came to London to stay at hers and her husband my good friend Rafael’s house, to work with some Vault clients during my European Trip. She has decided to take a chance and see what she can do out on a tennis court holding a racket trying to hit a tennis ball, and the result we got today after her first time ever was amazing!! I’m so proud of you Kelly, good job!!
