How to execute Forehand takeback like a pro

[@nicolasX2602]

it is great that you mentioned the finger separation. Nobody else does it, and it makes a huge difference.

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

It’s true! Almost nobody does

[@einarjuel]

Look to badminton for more, having alot of fun with it now :)

[@chandanpandit4867]

Wrist in up and fixed,well taught coach .

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

@@chandanpandit4867 thank you sir!

[@18yearsoldnot]

Great vid! These things are have never been taught to me and I’ve had hundreds of lessons

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

No prob! These are pretty much all text book and should be taught to all levels.

[@johnbenevoli2066]

The principle is NOT NEGOTIABLE when it comes to hitting at the highest level...finger separation tip is great. Keep the racquet close to your face like viewing a mirror!❤

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

That’s funny cause I actually use that mirror verbiage all the time with my clients 👍

[@joyarnez]

This is gold 🥇🥇

[@SuperSol1987]

When do you decide too let your left hand go from the racket when you are doing the forehand ground stroke

[@clementbretanno1116]

Thank you, coach. Very good tutorial. Have a good day.

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

Thank you! 🙏

[@einarjuel]

This is a archetypical ground force, pushing swing meant for the bent arm forehand. There is also a more whiplike action possible, using the stretch-shortening cycle of the muscles and pulling from the hip. This would be the straight arm variation. The channel "Jibran Does Things" has some interesting reflections and demonstrations of the differences, albeit a little wordy. Swing loose

[@doughayden2806]

Thank you for this- great tip on the grip too!

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

No worries. Please let me know if you have a questions you want to me make a video responding to 👍

[@norcalchrismeister]

Thx for the vid. I didn’t realize so many high level players and pros take the racquet back that way. I’ll have to give it a try next time.

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

Yes, they pretty much all do. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@dwaynebentley1633]

I thought you had tattoos on your hand when I started watching your videos hahaha. Great video 💪🏾

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

🤣, yeah those are a part of our welcome bags for the camps I do. Fits with RockN Roll theme perfectly and has sun protecting properties as well 👍

[@albewolf]

Cool! New Subscriber and I hope you continue to teach and coach here on KZbin! Nicely Done.

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

@@albewolf I plan on doing that! 👍 Let me know if you have a technical question you want me to make a video about

[@albewolf]

@@RocknRollTennisCamps Thank you! I am a starter in tennis, so EVERYTHING you could think of as important is probably on my list of things to incorporate into my game!

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

[@natarajankanala4700]

Thanks for the video. It was excellent. I had a question on the take back after the unit turn. So is it the same step as the unit turn or the takeback where we straighten the arm happens as a step 2?

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

Thank you so much! Glad you found useful! Check out my latest video. I respond to similar question to the one you asked and go into a bit more detail and a couple pitfalls to avoid

[@stackems666]

Semi western is the optimal grip? Roger would like a word with you lol

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

In my opinion he is not on a pure eastern grip (I assume thats what you think, forgive me if If I’m wrong). I believe it’s in the outer edge of the semi western still. I use very close grip to that myself. If he had actual eastern grip, he would not be able to hit high balls as well as he did. Try it and you will see how limiting pure eastern grip is the high shots 👍

[@dwaynebentley1633]

After my unit turn, when do I perform the racket drop in relation to the incoming ball?

[@GeneralRock114]

If you want a detailed video of the Next Gen forehand, checkout Meike Babel’s Carlos Alcaraz Forehand video.

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

Will do! Thank you!

[@abonto]

Where did you get the sleeve?

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

Those are what my campers get in their welcome bags. I had a pair for myself. You can get them on Amazon 👍

[@zouhairmikdame8840]

Wrist up

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

I believe it is a textbook version 👍

[@quentincrisp6933]

All these pics of players are almost a decade old. They now take the racquet back differently now !

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

Huh? All of the players are current, except Rafa and Roger who have prob two of the top ten forehands of all time and both follow the pattern I outlined in the video. Did you even watch it? 😊 Oh, please make a video on how “now” players take back it differently. I wanna see it. I’m sure it’s far more advanced than Sinner, Alcaraz, and Djokovic. Send me the link when it’s ready 👍

[@quentincrisp6933]

@@RocknRollTennisCamps Yes I watched! Look at the racquet Fed used! It's a 95! That's ten years ago! His FH changed to a closed face! Most current top 25 players use the closed face technique on the FH‼Full Stop‼

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

@@quentincrisp6933 ​​⁠yes, closed racket is what are for. Strings facing the opponent, as I stated it. It starts closed from the ready position and starts that way.

[@quentincrisp6933]

@@RocknRollTennisCamps LOL!‼‼No strings facing the court‼Patting the dog‼Look at Sinners final today. His racquet never went above his shoulder once on the FH. It's called the modern ATP FH‼

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

@@quentincrisp6933lol, I don’t think you watched the video or the match very closely. There are pics of the beginning I’m talking about, not pet the dog middle of the swing part. The swing starts higher. Look up sinner and Djokovic takeback and you will see high wrist beginning. You are talking apples and I’m talking oranges. And not decade old players like you incorrectly stated 👍

[@lordbyron3603]

If you need to explain this someone, better tell them to take up another hobby - like stamp collecting or basket weaving!

[@RocknRollTennisCamps]

You’d be surprised LOL
