Defense (lift)

Coach's take: Excellent, technique plus tactics plus drills.

Coach's take: Sharp, specific coaching — you can take this straight onto the court.

Coach's take: Detailed, pro-level breakdown of cross defense including the lift.

Coach's take: Rich, well-coached detail on disguising the lift.

Coach's take: Detailed topspin-lift coaching with a useful deception bonus.

Coach's take: This is the tactics layer — soft block vs fade vs flat lift and WHEN to use each. Watch their fundamentals video first, then this.

Coach's take: The defence video to start with — stance, grip, court position and why side-on forehand defence kills you. Learn this before the advanced stuff.

Coach's take: Solid lifting fundamentals - footwork, the three checkpoints, and a great thumb-and-index drill for the weak backhand lift.

Coach's take: Properly deep mixed-doubles defence - four scenarios with who-takes-what plus real attacking patterns. Coach-level stuff, not a quick tip.

Coach's take: Four solid, progressive defence drills with clear technical points.

Coach's take: Solid drill to groove the high defensive lift, light on technical detail.

Coach's take: Outstanding, practical smash-defence system, six steps with drills.

Coach's take: Clear, well-structured five-point defense breakdown.

Coach's take: Thorough singles defence breakdown with good drills, minus a VPN ad.

Coach's take: Good idea but thin, lots of music, little instruction.

Coach's take: Data-driven return guide - lift is the bread-and-butter off a low serve, straight drop off the flick. Tiered by level, well reasoned.

Coach's take: Clear coaching on a tricky advanced defense.

Coach's take: Useful lift and footwork tips, but the Spraino ad breaks pull it down.

Coach's take: Detailed, well-explained defensive footwork.

Coach's take: Nice three-level lift progression, but light on cues and practice.

Coach's take: Useful tips for the high smash, a touch disjointed.

Coach's take: Three legit quick tips - the best one is just lift deeper so they cant smash you. Handy reminder, but dont expect depth.

Coach's take: The mechanics explained here will make your lift crisper, even if it's not the focus.

Coach's take: Right idea on the deception but too thin to really learn from.

Coach's take: Detailed, hands-on cross defence technique, forehand and backhand.
