I have been testing the Top Level Tennis online course programs for a couple of weeks. Here is my Top Level Tennis Review.

The listed coaches right now are Wolfgang Thiem, Boris Becker, Dominika Cibulkova, Urszula Radwanska and …
Why you should do tennis drills
I am doing some drills together with my hitting partner and we’re both noticing the benefits. This video deals with why you should do drills. My guess is that most club players just play tennis to enjoy practice matches and tournaments. They like tennis for exercise and the competitive element. I enjoy pretty much all aspects of the sport and that is why I even find drills fun and interesting. So I made a vlog that says: Why you should do drills. The reasons are quite obvious. You want to improve your strokes, footwork, positioning, etc. One key point is …

Free TopCourt Trial Membership
A lot of people have been signing up for a free TopCourt trial membership. Why not? You get a 14-day free trial to demo the product. I was skeptical at first, but as more and more content has been coming in, I’m pretty much sold. One reason is that I’m a sucker for drills I can do with a coach or a hitting partner. I used to be one of those guys who only played practice matches every time I stepped out on the court. Often with a new racquet in my hand. No wonder improvement was slow and frustrating. …
One question you have to ask yourself while choosing a racquet is: What is your key shot? This will help you navigate the jungle of racquets. The ideal racquet is one that works well for all your shots. But that’s not always the case. You need to compromise. There is no perfect balance of power, spin, control that will be the best for you on every shot. So you need to ask yourself – what is important for my game? What shots do I rely on in a tight match? What is the bread-and-butter stroke that wins me a lot …

How I Work on My Tennis
I created Tennisnerd as a way to collect everything I learn about tennis. It is not only about gear, far from it. Here is how I work on my tennis. I got into tennis gear because I noticed it made a difference in how I feel and play on the court. But I am not a collector of racquets, and I don’t think the racquet is everything. One of the most common things I tell people is to try to find a setup that works, commit to that, and focus on improving. This post deals with how I work on …
