Thanks for clearing up the 45 degree angle (a visual is helpful).

Excellent editing! Really keeps you engaged and HOOKED! Also excellent knowledge thank you for sharing!

Thanks for video! When you say swing "up and out", is the "out" to gain side spin or does it help with controlling the flight of the ball?

Sadly this is too complicated. You also break down the forehand too much, which leads players to have a “hitch in their strokes” I recommend all players to look at Karue sell’s forehand lesson videos. Also he has the ranking and coaching experience to back up what he says.

Best least-coach-looking coach

Not quite following what is meant by having the strings stay "more or less parallel to the surface of the court". This is mentoned around the 9:20 mark in the video.

Wrist too loose ， not stable

This solved 45% of my tennis problems thanks❤❤❤

Up until the end pretty good. Unfortunately, you had to ruin it. Top spin does not come from internal rotation of the forearm. The ball is only on the strings 4 to 6 millisecond. You cannot recruit the muscles fast enough for a 4 to 6 millisecond event. By the time the pros relax (internal rotation) the forearm, the ball is long, long gone. It takes the brain about 70 millisecond to register that the ball was on the strings so the ball is long gone by the time the forearm relaxes. But, you got really close to the truth. Top spin is created by everything you do with the racket up to the contact point. Not after the contact point. Amazing tennis teachers still can’t get this correct. Physical law dictates that five things have to happen to create topspin. Racket speed, a closed racket face, you have to swing from below the ball to above the ball and you have to create a near vertical racket face at the contact point. Overall, better than most KZbin videos on the forehand.

Amazing video , now I know how to get speed

Grant, thank you so much for this video! For the advanced intermediate, this is the best instructional video I have seen on KZbin. Your energy and enthusiasm are infectious. I could watch this video 10 times in a row, and I may! I am going to go on the court with my video camera and work on each step individually until all the parts come together. Thanks again and keep them coming!

Thanks!

When you hit a forehand, your feet leave the ground. Not true.

Great video! 👏

Coach, where do you teach?

you cooked with this. Can't believe its not behind a paywall ❤‍🔥

Genius

1000 words are worth a picture.

I’ve got a tennis elbow problem because of this.. but the result is flawless topspin ball! Any suggestions how to prevent elbow injuries in the future??

I should put this in my mind: Bad follow through=bad consistency (balls go out)

thank you man

Thanks Grant! Brilliant explanation!

Wow, thank you so much

Damnnnn, Thanks Man. I can finally beat my grandma.

Thank you, camera work also impeccable!

Challenge accepted 🧐

I would add the bicep as well, so bicep-shoulder-pec while forearm-wrist are completely passive like dead

Nice one

the main reason for wrist extension at the contact point is firmness of the wrist in this position which is needed to withstand the torque created by racquet head and ball collision. when the wrist is not extended then the hand is easy to rotate and torque will result in loss of vertical (height) precision especially if the ball is hit even slightly off-centre. the other main reason for the bent (extended) wrist on contact is to maintain the ability to watch the ball all the way to the contact with the racquet head, which is nearly impossible if the contact is not in front of you - and to achieve this with your body facing the net the wrist extension is actually required. without extended wrist and without watching the ball through the contact there's no consistency and precision

One of the most comprehensive videos of the forehand technique on youtube!

Wow, this is what I needed... The best and complete explanation for forehand steps by steps that I have watched ! 👍

If you're running from a tiger, you're going to get eaten regardless of how you run.

Great tips Thanks

Dude. This is perfect.

for the STRAIGHT arm forehand people.

Wow Grant, wow! I keep saying, your videos are tennis educational blockbusters 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks so much

Wow Grant, literally the BEST video I have ever seen on the forehand. Excellent, excellent video!!!!

Wow!!

That was one of the best forehand videos I've ever seen. Points 1 to 7 were explained perfectly and I can't wait to get out on the court and try it out. Point 8 "recovery" was a bit harder to understand, but will definitely implement the first 7. Looking forward to finally crunching them forehands with confidence.

Well done!

love the npc coaching

Eight and half minute video that could have been done in ninety seconds.

idiot

thank you teacher, nice video.

Your shit dose not work

bla bla bla...talking after talking....

Why does he have a mic even though he doesn’t talk in the video 💀

Had I watched this video a bit earlier, I would never got broken and beaten last Saturday being broker twice in each set.. Today after watching the video I run twice through checklist 10 min before match. I figured out that my checkpoint number 4 was abysmal. Once fixed, the serve started to shine as new ! After match may opponents requested this video to be sent ASAP ! :) Thanks a lot, Grant. If I could put more likes I would. :)
