Florian Meyer, one of the leading online tennis gurus, recently put up this video of his presentation at the Tennic Congress. Florian is talking about how to fix technical flaws in various aspects for tennis, mostly in stroke production, but also in footwork and strategy. According to Florian “You need the video to get an idea of what’s really going on. Without the video it’s almost impossible”. What he uses in his lessons is video feedback combined with kinesthetic feedback. According to Florian, video feedback is essential to making meaningful changes in your tennis game.

Now, we’ve been saying that for years, and yes, it’s finally becoming more and more prevalent in the tennis world. In fact, our sales to high schools have increased dramatically in the last two years as they follow the lead of most of the college tennis powerhouses. Coaches who don’t use video are quickly becoming the minority. In our view, video is an indispensable tennis training aid.
