Great to hear, Osamu!

I ask the players whether they can be more comfortable every day when I coach them because whenever we think about something we inevitably tense up a bit.

And by looking to be more comfortable we can still work on that key thing and not be blocked by tension which causes lots of inconsistent shots.

Hi Tomaz,

My swing was jerky, not smooth and I wanted to fix my swing.

Today I remembered your tip and then I tried looking to more comfortable when I played tennis by myself.

It really works, my swings have become smooth and I have got control and pace.

As you said, the word comfortable is amazing, magical, and is better than relax or loose. I have tested both many times.

The result of coordination training I work is so,so. That makes me having endurance and agility and Speed of reaction.

Thanks for good tips. You are really great tennis guru, Tomaz.

I am not good at doing smash in tennis.
I tried to hit smash with being comfortable the other day,and it works.
My form became better and my shot had a good pace.

I noticed this way can apply my daily life,such as washing dish and my face,walking.
I used to splash water out of washstand ,when I wash my face every morning.
I can control water when I am comfortable.

I work on coordination training these days,so I will report you this autumn.
See you later.

Thanks a lot, Simon. More videos on the way and eventually some paid courses too, I just need to find some time to record them since I am on court all the time this summer. But at least I’ll have tons of real life improvements to show from players like yourself…

This, like all of your other tips, is invaluable. The idea of technically good strokes not producing the most effective tennis shots is important. THE concept of letting go, being comfortable and generating effortless power is not emphasised by many coaches I have had lessons from. Being calm in the mind, enjoying your tennis and not being tied by nervousness or overly concerned by missing means many of us never play to our full capability. Tomaz emphasises the value of being calm, swinging smoothly and coaxing natural movements out to lead to the best ball striking we can achieve. His approach is different but highly recommended. I would happily pay for a website collating your great tips and advice. I have benefitted from Your advice and I know many others would as well.
Please Keep up these exceptional lessons,

Simon

Thanks, Walter. I keep trying to be comfortable every day I am on court, especially at the start of every session.

Thanks, Frank. If for the serve tool you mean the Serve Master, I don’t sell them but use it all the time. Just Google it…

P.S. You demonstrated a particular tool to develop muscle memory re: the serve…do you sell those?
