Fixing 4 Followers Forehands

[@dennisfois8414]

I think this is one of your best videos. Very thoughtful advice delivered in a very concise and constructive way, really shows your coaching skills shine.

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks Dennis! I hope others find it as helpful… I’ll be making a serve episode next time!

[@Boston-prince]

Reality hits HAAAARD especially the first you see yourself playing on video. Kudos to all the participants. Amazing video, more please.

[@marvinko6610]

This is so true. It's like when you hear a recording of yourself and go "I don't sound like that"

[@NoLimitTennis]

Wow, thank you so much for including me in your video! 🎾 This has given me a huge boost of motivation to train and improve. Maybe I should move my bed next to the court 😀. I’ll train hard 💪 and hope that one day we can also have a live training session together. Have a great day, Ashley, and best wishes with your channel. VAMOS! 🎾

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks again for being involved Tomas!! Great hitting, I look forward to seeing your progress!💪💪

As a young coach who is aiming to get better at coaching, this helps a lot. Never heard of anyone mention the 5 r's but makes a lot of sense for players trying to get more into match play more than just being able to rally. Thanks!

[@TheTennisMentor]

It’s a good checklist to go through with players of any level… some are easier to fix than others but if you can help players to execute the 5 R’s well they’re on a good path!

[@joymariloucabahug3330]

Very well said. For me the best application to those who want to become a good player especially on the forehand side...Hopefully you can send also technical aspects on single handed backhand and for the serve..Thanks a lot 🎾👏😁❤️

[@TheTennisMentor]

I plan to do a serve episode next… single handed BH later down the line! Vamos!!

Great work Ash thanks for sharing you have the ability to produce such a varied experiences and keep it in a way that makes easy sense you come a long way on this format well done 👍 ps like the way u engage with the kids that’s one of my main goals when I look at coaching in any sport

love the video big man, super interesting stuff

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks buddy!

[@kubivasak]

Hey mate, Thanks so much for including me in your video! and giving me some feedback. I’ve heard this advice from several coaches over the years, and it’s been super hard to implement. I think I read the ball correctly, I set my feet expecting the ball to be in a certain spot and then it changes, I end up being late and/or jammed up on the ball. it's a vicious cycle! Do you have any further advice to help me get better spacing?

[@TheTennisMentor]

Something that I like to do with my players that struggle with spacing is get them to spend 5 minutes aiming to hit every ball as it falls, 5 mins aiming to hit every ball at the peak of the bounce and 5 mins hitting balls on the rise. This forces you to explore your spacing from the ball and will sharpen your ability to read the bounce. You’ll find that some balls will be unrealistic for you to let them drop or hit the peak etc but try your best to stick to the goal. Once you feel more comfortable with these three contact points, the next phase would be to train your decision making in when to execute each. Try this during your next warm up and let me know how you find it!

[@kubivasak]

@@TheTennisMentor thanks! I’ll give it a go 🫡

[@kubivasak]

@@TheTennisMentorhey mate, just a heads up. I tried your drill tonight and it worked wonders! The guy I was playing hits quite flat so I concentrated on hitting the ball at its peak. I felt my spacing improve during the session. It gave me confidence, I won our match 6-3, 6-2. Which normally would be much closer. Thanks again 🙏🏼

[@paulastwood3731]

Really great video! 👍🏻 Informative.. and like the format. And well done to the individuals featured 👏🏻

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks Paula, grateful for the 4 players (and others) that sent in videos!

I loved this analytical video!

[@theeggrollrapper]

Fantastic lesson! So many good points I will be applying to my own forehand. Now to address the elephant in the room - were you holding the new Radical or just a new paint job for the US Open?

[@TheTennisMentor]

Haha… no, this was an old radical prototype which I love (I wish they released it!) The new radical is BRIGHT

[@DanTuber]

Those courts look good. Nice wide baseline

[@TheTennisMentor]

I love a thick baseline!

What model is your racket /in the video/?

[@TheTennisMentor]

It’s an old head radical prototype. The colourway never got released but I think it should have!

Hi Ashley! I have been recording my tennis sessions since my 3rd month of playing tennis (now i am close to 2years) I DM you on instagram if you would like to discuss using some recordings :)

imo you take too long to get to the point/action, look at your view time and you will see a huge drop in the first minute

Thanks Dominik, I’ll check it out when it’s available
