Gaël Monfils’ crazy shot at UTS Frankfurt – Shots of the pros, EPISODE 4
In this video, I will take a close look at one of the coolest shots you will ever see executed on a tennis court. The squash shot from “way downtown” by Gael Monfils.
First off, let’s just say that Gael Monfils is probably the best showman that tennis has seen in the last few decades, and most of us can only hope to possess a fraction of the athleticism that so regularly pours out of La Monf.
But in this case, there is much to learn from Monfils’ magic as he cracks this squash shot from an impossible position on court. It may look impossible but I assure you… you can do this too! Watch the video and find out the keys:
1/ The grip, which gives pace and control.
2/ The roll of the wrist and the whip effect of Monfils’ swing.
3/ Getting the racquet head back early and far behind the body.
4/ Using the adrenaline and passion to pull off the miracle!
