Hi Simon, Perfect video ! No mentioning of Federer's cross behind step when recovering position after running forehand. You may add some scenes.

[@patrickweston3293]

Recovery footwork is a perfect topic for me. I've always had good natural ability to chase down wide shots and keep the ball in play, but my feet keep running, and my goose is cooked on the next shot, unless my opponent is simply awed by my stunning retrieval!

[@justinlazarus5201]

Really enjoyed the Running Forehand video. The focus on the footwork and recovery from the shot was really helpful to see, especially backed up with the clips from the pro's in there for reference. Thanks for the tips, and keep up the great work guys.

[@joaodenilli]

very good content.. ty guys!! i'm having trouble with the footwork on these running fhs because i'm a righty who plays with the left hand so sometimes i feel like i'm using the dominant leg instead of the left leg.. i was trying to closed stance hitting these running fhs, thats why it was rly tough for me to do it.. and i realized many times i already do the "hop" correctly, with my left leg.. i'm really glad with the video, ty guys.. i have only 3y of tennis but im hard working and i've improved a lot, thanks God.. and thanks to contents like these.. ty very much Alex and Simon

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I personally find it difficult to get my footwork and body into unit turn on return of serves. I end up slicing back or just punching the return back. Some lesson around how to quickly get a unit turn going and what’s the muscle memory to get into for it to stick

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thanks Simon for your reply! When you get a chance, can you guys elaborate on what top players, like you and the ATP players, pay attention to when it comes to long matches (3-5 sets)? Psychology, foot work, strokes etc. Cheers!

[@konradbeti8369]

Great content as usual. I have two questions for you topicwise: 1. How and when do you change your grip during a rally? Do you normally change it? 2. I see all the time players picking balls from 3 or 4 before serving. Why are they doing that? At some point during the matches they bring in new balls. Are they wearing that fast, after only a few shots/games? Thank you and all the best.

You had once made a video on how to slide on clay. Please make a one on how to slide on hard courts.

Sure sounds like an interesting topic although perhaps alittle dangerous too unless you are Djoko

Could you guys maybe do a video on the common mistakes with the double handed backhand because my backhand needs some help and the one you did with the forehand really helped my forehand. Thanks, Rishi

[@godwinc215]

Couple questions. On a running forehand, is it adviseable to use the buggywhip forehand in certain circumstances? Also, I have decent directional and height control of the ball when I have time but when rushed, I can be more inconsistent..any video or tips to remedy that? Thanks for this video and any advice on my questions!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Yes the buggy whip can be very useful on the run since we often make contact on side of the body. When you’re rushed, shorten the backswing but increase the footwork intensity 👍 All the best Simon

[@godwinc215]

Thanks for your guidance.

[@Daniel-rk3vf]

Great instruction. Unrelated to the topic, but man -- that court surface looks brutal! To me, it almost looks like an asphalt parking lot. Also looks very hard and unforgiving. Is it just in need of re-surfacing or is that the normal court surface? Looks like a nice club so that's why I'm perplexed.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

It’s a pretty common surface here in the UK, easy to maintain and cheaper than real hard courts

[@TennisWindow]

Thank you for the great video, could you make a video about drop shot in the future? Thank you

[@youssef_brahem]

I struggle with easy balls. I always miss easy shots.

[@tonylall7649]

The running forehand. It might be my imagination but it seems to me that I have to cock the racquet more and hold it more loosely to hit a good one, which is difficult to do when sprinting a short distance cos I think that's when the upper body holds more tension.
