Add 20 mph to your forehand in 30 minutes: FT Dr Mark Kovacs

[@Anton.Arkhipov]

One of the best Pete! Very reasonable stuff, with 2-step progression. I'd maybe add some degree of relaxation - in wrist to easily lay it back (and keep laid back, but without tension) and in forearm overall, as going through the ball. You and Mark actually touched this with gripping talk 👍

[@blarpieman]

It takes a big person to allow other coaches to break you down into pieces and reconstruct you. I do it to myself every practice with video and its a hard pill to examine yourself and how you look but its worth it in the long run. I really like when you step into the ball instead of doing the rafa spin. I did the macci drill when you pull the racquet from stopped position for months to get the feeling. Its still a work in progress.

[@maxgluteus4263]

18:30 Dr. Kovacs I think what you are trying to say is, Load the arm, or pre-stretch the soft tissues, By externally rotating the shoulder at the beginning of the stroke, naturally release the energy after the stroke, So even though there is internal shoulder rotation, It’s done through inertia while passively unloading a loaded spring, rather than actively manufacture the movement using muscles

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

thanks it was a great time working with Dr. Kovacs

[@lyndseyandandrew5771]

I believe it! I went to a clinic he hosted for amateurs last summer and it was incredible.

[@giampierobittarelli7379]

Good video! The average tour forehand is not in the 80s and 90s though. Its between 70-80. Theres a big difference. Also, theres some misinformation which is crucial…you dont extend through “3 balls”, if you go analyze pros forehands, they pronate during contact not push through and then pronate. Make sure you do your own research of current pros guys

[@lrebsten7155]

Pronation occurs long after the ball has left the racket. Pronation is used to circumvent the body’s way of protecting itself so you can hit with more power and complete the stroke - without breaking or hurting your wrist or your body slowing down the swing to naturally keep you from harming your wrist; your wrist is a hinge and pronation AFTER any shot is the way to get around the limitations of such a joint. Pronation has NOTHING to do with the ball - it is long gone by the time pronation occurs. It is weird; because if your body knows that you intend to pronate AFTER the shot, your body will allow you to swing harder through the shot. You can START to pronate but the actual wrist BREAK occurs AFTER the ball is long gone. I found it a weird concept to grasp at first and many people in tennis get it wrong, but there are a lot of good physiology videos that show the ball long gone from the strings and compare how hard you can swing with pronation and without pronation.

[@tylerjohncarroll]

80-90mph average pro forehand??? No way man! Average Tour pro is just above 75mph Even Alcaraz Rippers are only reaching 92-98mph 90% of the time. High 60's for a rec player average is pretty dang fast! I mean seriously if you can average 67-68mph your only 5-10mph behind pro average speed. (all about the consistency)

[@MrGherring]

no f... way.

Pro's image of forehand back swing is blocked by student. Is the student or pro doing most of the talking? Pro talks too fast--not the way to impart knowledge.

Why are you waiting for the ball to bounce to initiate your backswing, no matter how close the ball is to you?

[@miami3613]

Those are excellent corrections. JMO your stroke looks a little mechanical, I think putting some focus on your breathing, deep inhale/ exhale could help.

[@danguee1]

The problem isn't more power. It's more power without loss of control. NOT so easy.

Hi Pete / Dr Kovacs...thank you and exciting stuff...If I heard you right we are extending our elbow with a circular path and the racket tip is already pointing to the right side fence as we go thru hitting zone and not break off after contact to avoid tennis elbow?

[@PeterFreemantennis]

That is correct

[@jerome_morrow]

@@PeterFreemantennis The biomechanics of hip-shoulder movement separation (“X factor” and “X factor stretch”) to increase torque from trunk rotation is well known and has been studied extensively in golf. Surprising that it’s only starting to be explored as a concept in tennis.
