WATCH: How To Play As Smooth As Roger Federer

Want to be as SMOOTH as Federer?

We adore him for so many reasons.

He’s the greatest player of all time, and he makes it look so easy.

I’m, of course, talking about Roger Federer… and one of the things that make him so great is how SMOOTH he is out on the court.

He transfixes us with his mesmerizing blend of talent, skill, and grace and it makes you wonder “how does he do it?”

Well, in this video that I just made for you, I reveal ONE of the secrets to his effortless power.

It’s a secret I learned a long time ago from a great coach named Jack Broudy.

Serve Placement Is Key To Winning In Doubles Tennis

Jack was a technician and he discovered that the figure 8 was everywhere in tennis.

What does that mean?

That means that the symbol for infinity is largely responsible for the fluid, effortless nature of Federer’s game.

In this video, I reveal 2 simple drills that YOU can use, to adopt the figure 8 into your practice session.

You’ll begin to see as soon as you begin practicing these two drills, that your shots become smooth, more rhythmic, and more connected.

Enjoy!
