In today’s episode: Question and Answer Part 1, I answer each and every question from the survey results. If you have subscribed to the Realtennis Network, you were given the opportunity to take a short survey so i could get to know you a bit better and find out the exact content that you are looking for. This is what I will focus on when creating new content for the Realtennis Network Podcast, Video Instruction or Quick Tips.

As a subscriber, you become sort of an advisor to the type of content that you would like me to produce. Subscribing is FREE and by subscribing you will receive my FREE Doubles Game Changers (6 of them) and six tennis mindsets. If you have not subscribed, you can do so by CLICKING HERE.

First of all, I am very excited by the number of you who initially submitted a question and I thought that I would get this all accomplished in one episode (which usually last about an hour), but after getting though about 60%, I was already at the 1:45 mark. So the rest will be in Part 2 next week.

Below, you will find the questions that have been asked and the marked time that the question occurs. This way you can go straight to the questions that you would like to hear and skip the ones you prefer not to listen to.

For each question I added a one or two word answer, but give much more detail in the podcast.

For some of the questions I have added links to videos and even made some video of my own to go along with the questions. I have also emailed a few of you with more detailed answers and accompanying video or other resources to try to make thing s clearer for you so that you can give some of these a try.

So let’s get the questions going and please let me know how things work out for you by commenting at the bottom of the post.

Question 1 – David from Douglasville
How short can you make a back swing on a one handed backhand?
As short as you want, but will need to recover lost advantages in doing so

Important if it works, but if not, try some of the suggestions I give you.

Question 3- Andrew From Petoskey, Michigan
1 – I’ve started hitting a modern forehand, with a partially open stance. This works pretty well, and its coming along. However, my 2 handed backhand is still “closed” stance… are there similar fundamentals for the backhand?
Yes, but you need to learn three basic stances

Footwork (split step), drop step, catch the ball in left hand and the scissor kick

I think tracking the ball and leverage points on all the shots.

Hey Coach Mick, what is your most embarrassing moment on court?

Just improve forehand and doubles strategy. Thanks

Is it okay to teach my son to take the racket back low on the backhand instead of looping the backhand? I like the old school way because it helps my son get into the “slot” better?

Do you have any tips are helpful drills that myself and my partner can do together to work on getting him/her to move forward

What is the best way to teach young players or beginners about the correct serve motion?
