Essential Strokes

The Essential Strokes video is an instructional guide for tennis beginners. This video is hosted and instructed by Van Der Meer, who taught more than 5,000 teaching professionals around the world. On this video, he breaks down different techniques into seven different chapters which are: warm-up, grips, forehand, backhand, serve, mental tennis, and mini-tennis, respectively.

In the warm-up chapter he discusses and stresses how important it is to warm up before a tennis match. Start up slowly by doing exercises that help you become more flexible, improve your jumping ability, quicken your feet, speed, and enhance your balance.

. . .
Second, line up with the approaching ball and use proper judgment to adjust feet and balance. You must first learn how to be prepared to hit an approaching ball. Finally, make contact with the ball and follow through with your shot. He suggests having a forearm in between grip, freedom of tension, loose and free motion, tossing ball where racket is extended, dynamic balance, and no matter how bad you toss the ball always swing at the ball because biofeedback will correct the problem.

Moving on, Van Der Meer also points out that tennis is also a mental game. He also points out that when you decide to change your grip from one form to another to have a valid reason to change the grip.

On the backhand chapter, Van Der Meer discusses the common thread that profession players have when it comes to hitting backhand. Depending on the player and their style, their grips could vary from an eastern, semi-western, continental, or a full-eastern grip. , Van Der Meer discusses the different types of grips tennis players use. You have to have a feeling of relaxation of muscles, feeling of calmness, no pressure feeling, feeling of energy, feeling of confidence, feeling of control over situation, and feeling of instinct. Pronation means the rotation of the hand and forehand so that the palm faces upwards or downwards. First turn your shoulders and get your racket back.

On the serving chapter, he discusses the principle of pronation. It helps build skills to improving your backhand and forehand shots. The similar characteristics include: having stability, a good back-hand grip, adjustment of feet, point of contact, following through, not twisting the hips, and acquire power from shoulders.
