Unbelievable wealth of information!! Thank You Guys!! For sharing such invaluable tips. I can’t wait to try all the steps you shared in this segment of hitting a forehand straight or windshield wiper.

Mauro sure looks smooth and executes the shot with an effortless mien. I want to hit like him. How does he hit high and low balls?? Is it the same pattern?? FANTASTIC!!

PS: I especially like the tip to keep the wrist cocked throughout the shot. I have been puzzled on the wrist’s role from the start to contact to the follow through.

ADMIN: Joc, thanks for your feedback, videos on high & low balls coming out soon :-) (Coach Mauro)

Thanks, that really helped. Are you going to do another set of videos like this for the backhand? Which do you prefer Mauro, the 2-handed or the 1-handed backhand?

ADMIN: TennisFreak, yes, we’re going to put out both 1-Handed & 2-Handed BH’s!! I have a 1-Handed BH myself, but I can also hit the 2-Hander pretty well, as I teach it a lot too. There is no better one, it’s a personal choice after all, a matter of clicking with it!! (Coach Mauro)

Again, I can’t say enough great things about Mauro’s teaching. With his extensive background, tutoring both the weekend warrior and the world class junior, Mauro consistently gets results!! And, yes…that’s one smooth forehand!! (Can’t wait for the backhand video!!)

ADMIN: Jack, appreciate your feedback, backhand video is baking in the oven!! (Coach Mauro)

I’m from Argentina, you be very proud of your work, it’s now worldwide.

I would love to see you talk about some brands or some rackets…

This is great and I think a lot of people think forehand is a very easy shot to play because that is the first shot they start to play with, but I think it is a difficult shot to learn and hit. Who ever got good forehand, he can be a champion, way we can see this the only shot we can play inside out and you can easily use as a weapon on the court. So I think you are doing a fantastic job. Hoping to see how you are going to teach volleys. Thanks for you lovely tips.

ADMIN: Anthony, thanks for your feedback, volley videos coming out soon!!

Coach Kyril,
I’ve watched a ton of instruction on line – some good, some not so good – but never superb…until I ran across your videos. Now that you’ve teamed up with Mauro, the instruction you guys give is priceless! I’m picking up the game again after a 25 year absence and your tips have helped me tremendously. The game is really becoming enjoyable for me as I am learning to hit better and primarily, I have you to thank for it.

Keep up the good work! I eagerly look forward to your next offerings.

ADMIN: Greg, thanks for your great feedback, and you are very welcome!! :-)

Best,

As others have commented here, these tennis videos are the most helpful I found online. I’m tempted to sign up for the $17/month program.

Best,
Charles

ADMIN: Charles, thanks for your words, we’ll see you inside the Vault!! :-)
