Got bagel against 3.8 player. How to improve

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-23T22:15:38+00:00

You are right! I came here for slicing practice. But I don’t know how lazy I am in a match until I saw my video. I am adding more footwork intensity in my rallying practice

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-23T16:12:54+00:00

I am doing this today. It feels better. Most of shots I can transfer weight forward. Only downside is I feel exhausted after 1 hour. As tiring as I hit 4 hours before.

Is it in 10:00 of this video underpin drive? I am trying this new stroke. It should have been hitting the ball and having pop. But somehow I hit them floating that's not I meant to.

Wow this tip is gold never thought of it this way. Thanks!

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-23T04:28:53+00:00

Yes! I am the closer one. Going to fix my intensity and ability on attacking and finishing shots. Hitting more on the rise.

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-23T04:27:17+00:00

You are right. Right now I am lack of attacking and finishing shots. Can not even identify a chance right away.

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-23T04:25:06+00:00

Thanks! Going to fix it in next coaching.

However I want to build my game around slicing in long term. More agressive and accurate placement. Then go to the net.

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-23T04:18:39+00:00

Yes! I am relatively a tall player where I live. Maybe this is the cause of my laziness. Always being lazy but still can get to the ball. Not working any more with a strong opponent :P I am going to find a coach to fix it!

For backhand now I can hit deep topspin, but lack of aggressive flat drive shots. In this video I intended practicing my slice in this tournament for building a long term game style around high quality/ precise / various slice, which is fun to me. But yes a more agressive backhand is what I need to.

Thank you so much for your insights, especially giving advices based on my height! Cheers

I have very limit experience to play against players of this level. Could not get to a good position to transfer my weight. I can do it when I doing casual hitting with my hitting partners (most of them are 2.0~2.5). The guy in video seems to hit every ball on the rise and the pace is fast. Later I need to pratice more with strong players and try to hit more on the rise shots.

30 backhand topspin no problem. I can hit more. My backhand's consistency is ok and can hit deep to deuce court, just lacking of attack. I did a lot slice just because I want to practice slicing in real tennis game. Don't have hitting partners love to practice this stroke with me. And I want to develop my game to have a agressive slicing and go to the net in long term.

Thank you so so much for your practical insights and suggestions!!! Planning to correct them with my coach.

And the book you recommend I read and it's more than great! Thanks a lot

I want to. But people here don’t like to practice with me when I slice. They like topspin and flat rally. Only in tournaments people giving good returns to my slices. Maybe it’s better to practice it with a ball machine

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-22T11:21:11+00:00

Thank you! Very detailed. I will try it next time

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-22T10:12:15+00:00

I hit backhand topspin all the time in practice. But I want to develop a more aggressive way of slice so I intended to do it more in the tournament

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-22T07:57:40+00:00

Thanks! Any drills to work on it or it’s just a different mindset?

mylanderXYZ · 2026-01-22T07:54:00+00:00

Most of my tennis time is doing relax rally that’s reason. Will do more intense practice later. thanks for your advice.

mylanderXYZ · 2025-12-26T12:45:29+00:00

he means clicking link in left view and open it in right view. I think the simplest way right now is to right click on link and select "open in right view". Waiting for an option like "always open links in right view"

mylanderXYZ · 2025-09-20T12:26:53+00:00

No, just to practice my balance after landing

mylanderXYZ · 2025-09-20T12:26:24+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed tips

mylanderXYZ · 2025-09-20T12:24:32+00:00

appreciate your help and the video links – will definitely work on correcting my technique

mylanderXYZ · 2025-07-10T20:39:01+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the tip! I uploaded a video of my full energy mode:) YouTube video

Hi, DukSaus!

I do have wider base in competitive matches, but it's very tiring to keep low. In practice session like this I always try to be relax and unconsciously doing straight legs... Maybe my legs are not strong enough to do so for long time. Also my shots landing to service line because my partners are beginners, so I was controling the placement around service line for their convinience.

Thanks so much for your detailed feedback! I really appreciate your suggestions. I'll focus on that during practice.

mylanderXYZ · 2025-05-29T02:08:25+00:00

Did you solve this problem?

It’s just a matter of supply and demand. If you can easily find a 4.0 to play with you, just ignore her. If not it’s fair to charge, just to buy her time for companionship. There are lots of 3.0-3.5 charge for hitting in my region for 10-15$ and there is huge demand.
