Tennis: After 6+ years of missing...can I put the ball in play? (Lesson & Drills)

Описание: This isn’t a style change — we’re testing, to see if I actually know how to put the tennis ball in the court, period.

My coach, Clem, is a French-born former world-ranked junior and college player. I'd give more details, but I forget. A popular one we like to talk about at the club is that he played a college match against Ben Shelton. (I also don't remember if I was told the score. I have a good memory.) He was likely around a UTR 12+.

I started playing tennis in April 2018, and have trained/played as often as my low funds will allow. I study and analyze tennis very often, but haven't had many good opportunities for regimented training. As a result, I've plateaued at the 3.0-low 3.5 level, with incredibly inconsistent groundstrokes, zero net ability, and pathological double faults. At the time of this video, I can sort of hit a forehand sometimes, but it still feels like a coin flip. I also cannot hit a backhand slice to save my life. My strokes, serve consistency, and overall confidence are on massive up-and-down swings.
