2:11 MSc engineer here. The pen spins around its centre of frictional resistance - not its centre of gravity (perfectly flat pen, perfectly flat table). Your analogy is pseudo-science. If the tip of the pen were rough and sitting on rough material and the shaft were super-slidey, it would rotate around the tip.

Hope to tackle the ATPtype3 FH 'secrets' by the end of this year, time allowing. You are such an inspiration, keep it up, bro! :)

Why you will finish the Racket at the rear side, it should be in froth. Because after the shot, you have to go back to the ready position, if your racket finish at the back, it takes time to go back to the ready position, that is a must. All Professional do the same mistakes, they copy each other, that is Wrong, watch the pro in 1920, they finish the Racket in front left side not in the rear side.

@3.5_to_5.5Ай бұрын
Good question! I'm making a video about this soon.. The short answer is that as the player moves forward, the racket's inertia holds the racket back, so the wrist accommodates by rotating and extending back, while dropping due to gravity. (assuming a relaxed wrist). You can see the forward weight shift occur first in this video. But it can also have an active wrist-movement component! Thanks for your comment!

@@3.5_to_5.5 That's the key question! In nearly all Tennis videos about the modern Forehand is said that the racket lag is automatically created by bringing the hips forward and holding the racket loosely. Never happened with my forehand :-) Now we see that Jannik because of the take back position with a pronation of the wrist it is absolutely necessary to make a aktiv supination of the forearm to generate a hug racket lag.

@@3.5_to_5.5 Yes, I think they have wrist supination motion so the racket head looks like that. If they had a wrist pronation motion to overcome the inertia and gravity of the racket head, it wouldn't be the same.

Your analysis of my favorite player is sooo good! You get into such advanced concepts, it 🤯. I'm curious on your opinon of the right arm's role in his 2HBH. I sense it plays a big role, like a OHBH in the initial forward swing stage. Also curious on his FH if it's the same as in your Sinner's video of supination and pronation but im pretty sure it is. It's the last part I'm struggling with as I tend to whip the racquet around WTA style. PS: I also switched to a 2HBH because of T.E. While TE sucked I'm glad because it forced me to amke the change.
@3.5_to_5.5Ай бұрын
Hi David, thanks for your kind words! Yes the right hand plays a big part in the 2HBH both in the initial pull and also in the stability and lifting through contact . This is explained in my BH Power & Protraction and Alcaraz BH Features videos. Yes, the forehand supination/protraction is the same for Djokovic & Sinner. The forehand is quite technical. A high rear elbow takeback into an arm extension, followed by a forward weight shift is important (Sinner Supinate part 2 coming). My Kyrgios FH video may help you. Unsure what you meant re the 'last part' of your FH.. if you want to upload a video of your FH on YT I can have a look at it. cheers Andrew

A leading elbow helps delay the hand/racquet throw until the very last moment. The lack of power in forehand most of us experienced in our development years has something to do with the hitting hand overtakes the hip and shoulder too early. Thanks to Sinner's forehand, for me personally, I finally understood the sequence to achieve effortless power: very loose grip, hip drive, gentle racquet throw with a leading elbow, long extension through the contact, high elbow finish. The feeling is almost magical and the ball feels very light. For the forehand, the elbow movement is the key, where the kinetic chain breaks down most often.

Great description of "Maintaining the LAG": 'A leading elbow helps delay the hand/racquet throw until the very last moment '. Supination is one of the keys for "Creating the LAG" but is the the Elbow that really keeps the External Rotation activated until right before "Releasing the LAG", via External Rotation and Pronation ("Long-axis rotation: the missing link in proximal-to-distal segmental sequencing" ). Like spreading butter on toast, you mean?! :) 'The feeling is almost magical and the ball feels very light. '
