Vic Braden. the math and science Edberg had a good one Rosewall was underspin,,

How to fix that problem of the wrist?¿ It cost me a Lot of trouble and mostly of My forehands goes with the wrist

Your video can be summarized in the following words. As the racket makes contact with the ball the wrist releases at the same time the the arm rotates resulting in a windshield wiper angled forward rather then vertically.

Any drills?

thanks!

Underrated Lesson 🔥

World Class lesson Coach 🙏🏼

Great video! Key Aspects: Grips @0:59; Racquet rotation inside your [email protected]; Hip & shoulder [email protected]; Racquet drops with the left hand on it til the end, then release [email protected] when stepping in to impact the ball; then, extension @4.45; then, wrap-up

Thank you Insight Tennis I'll put your coaching advice to practice 🎾

Well explained makes sense

Would have been nice to see you actually demo it using the racquet and balls.

Does it mean that I should keep my wrist from just before impact to follow, and then untie it at the very end?

Excellent

Still insightful and brilliant 7 years later, Seminal video, every tennis commentator should be forced to watch. So many kids mislead by the incorrect "brush from low to high doctrine"

You're actually a moron. They don't. Go straight through anymore, old timer.They actually do go across like a windshield wiper wake up junior

the best explanation i ever see in my life

I am….crap at tennis. Will never stop ..

I commend your command of the language linkage matrix. The ancestors no doubt are smiling!

Very nice video

I've been a 2 hander for 15 years, but now I'm experiencing some back problems and I feel that a one hander feels easier on my back. My instructor is a 2 hander and he oriented me to do this flick with the wrist, but I would often frame the ball. Out of disappointment, I recorded myself and downloaded some pro footages and watched it slow-mo. That made me think they don't actually flick anything, but their looseness right after contact gives that illusion. I'm still to understand why I have low top spin, but my bet is I don't drop the racquet enough before contact and I'm not loose enough thus having a slow upwards movement.

Hey mister inside tennis,i see that you are struggling for 5 years with this problem,but you worries are over, because i gonna explain it to you. You forget the action reaction force. When you hit the ball,the upward movement of the racket wil be absorbed by more rotation of the ball. Simple sience

Very nice demonstration :) Effortless power both looks and feels right

Thank you your vedios drive away so many misconceptions from our minds

Thank you sir for your guidance

Only theory can you hit and demostrate with a ball?

'towards your target' is a myth. The biomechanics are rotational, not linear.

He made a best explaination in the web... thank you...

This dude makes a valid observation but is overly repeating a straw-man argument - no-one is claiming that the forehand swing makes a 90' adjustment on impact with the ball - it's a matter of perspective whether one observes the swing from the side or the front. This video could be improved and hold more credibility if it was done outside and on court with some slow-motion video using split-screen of someone actually hitting a ball to make the point simply within a few minutes without too much repetition. The grip also affects how bent the arm will be on the follow-through - Federer uses a modified eastern grip and video analysis shows that his approach to ball contact is quite shallow though because of his arm extension he creates more velocity than players who have a bent elbow ie. Wawrinka and Djokovic. Both Federer and Nadal have good arm extension and a few years ago before Djokovic gained dominance, the common feature of arm extension (having a straight arm rather than a bent elbow) had earned Federer & Nadal the highest combined Grand Slam totals of any two professional players. However, this common feature might be a statistical anomaly since Djokovic is leading the men's Grand Slam record to date. It is the job of coaches to teach the best approach for each student depending on their individual capabilities.

👍👏👏👏

You couldn't be more wrong. The more topspin the better the backhand is. Just because the casual recreational player can't execute the flick doesn't mean it's not a feasible technique. Just be looking at your swings I can tell you are doing something wrong right off the bat. Also your explanation about the law of physic doesn't make sense. Sure if there's no gravity then swinging through the ball will get you to hit the target more likely. However there's gravity to think of which is why topspin is a huge part of the stroke. Your lack of explanation of the topspin part is what kills this video for me. You are good as a beginner coach but I'm afraid anyone who follows what you say will stay as beginner.

Nice would like to see the rear view with you hitting the ball

you are the best coach! thanks a lot

The windshield is angled forwards as you hit along the windshield the racket is moving forwards so you don’t use your wrist. But the rotation of the racket has the tip pointed to the target so there is a lot of rotation in the modern tennis swing.

Excellent videos

Watching this video makes me want to become a tennis ball. They get all the attention, and they don't even have to do anything! 🎾😅

You are totally right about this. For decades I was wrong about the technical stroke . It has to be flatness stroke and your arm bending naturally. Rarely the coach talks about this concept. Thanks so much.

❤👏🇺🇾🎾

Halleluja, yeah this is so so true. I'm glad finally someone tells this secret online.

Agree with you. Best examples are how the all-time greats Lendl and Sampras do their one-handed backhand. Even looks easier and less complicated.

Is drop happens implicitly or we have to drop explicit with hands? Thank you for the video

Thanks!

Good explanation and it clear the concept of strong forehands. Thanks a lot!

Your

v. good

i wish i saw this video much sooner....amazing insight, thank you very much!

I always hate when people say "The pros are doing this". Dude, if the pros are doing this, why aren't you a professional tennis player? The golden rule of teaching is to teach, not observe and say the pros are doing this. Here are the keys to a good forehand. LEARN EVERYTHING -- every variety, every type of shot, even reaction to ball depth, height, spin, underspin, etc. YOU DO NOT HIT THE SAME FOREHAND FOR EVERY SHOT... There is a saying -- "student of the sport" -- learn everything, then you can choose which one. There are just 3 exercises you need to master to be a good player with your forehand or backhand -- after that it is fitness and power (which is age related so you can't limit your teaching). 1) You must be able to rally very short to baseline and possibly further without stopping the ball with a mastery of FLAT, SLICE, UNDERSPIN, and TOPSPIN. 2) You must be able from the same grip, to hit a flat ball, topspin ball, a lob, a smash volley. 3) You must be able to do all of the above LOOSE, gripping the racket at acceleration. If you can master this, you will be a formidable baseliner.

vic braden books. the math and science does not lie,,, tennis for the future

Great coach. Thank You. Can i assume that after the raquet drop starts the elbow should drive up and forward?

I have seen a couple of your videos and you just talk and talk and talk and don't make just one shot to show us how it must be done! In top of that, in this video You are sending us to watch videos of professional players when YOU ARE THE ONE who must put those videos here to prove your theory! Come on! hit just one f.. ball and teach how it must be done or you are just a big mouth?! UNLIKE

This video has totally blown my mind. Seems that I've been hitting forehands the wrong way for 10+ years.
