Im no coach but one tip i would give this kid is keep looking the ball even after hitting it so it stables your head and inreturn your body so that your shoulderframe rotates after you rotate your head which is the very last action of your forehand , this tip helped me a lot hope this helps someone else too

Thank you, Mr. Mouratoglou. This was a very important lesson!

Keep shoulder close and hands closely together will help hitting hand swings a bit early. Every player has different issue to be worked on. Patrick is a great coach to tailor the needs of players

@trex1448 4 ай бұрын

This isn't what you would most people watching this video btw. Beginners who are not familiar with energy chain need to learn to hit the ball in front of them and not to the side. This kid is already at a level where he doesn't need to worry about the energy chain so he's being taught to be balanced in his swing and to use his hand to accelerate through the ball which will not only generate more control but also spin, and power. Beginners and intermediate people need to develop the coordination to be able to involve their entire body and not just the hand, arm, shoulder, torso, hips, legs, etc..

@huangwee3465 5 ай бұрын

Best instruction. Patrick. Most other coaches teach using body and hip turn to drive the arm hence ball with reason to create lag: my experience was that it creates chaotic coordination between arm and shoulder hence no control and power.

@adi.24 5 ай бұрын

You should view this lesson from the boys perspective he is swinging is hips too early which creates too much lag that it loses power and its just hands , patrick is telling him to move the hands early so that it would be the ideal lag

It's funny how tennis has changed. When I was a kid, coaches (who themselves tended to have learned with wooden rackets) taught a completely different movement. Stiff wrist, hips move first, power comes from torso rotation, not the arm. It's nearly the exact opposite to what's state of the art today.

You see a contradiction where there is none. Of course, most of the power comes from the legs and then from the hip rotation. The difference from the past is that the whole body is now important, whereas it used to be mainly the arm. What was primarily worked on in this video is improved stability and control (open stance, more stable upper body), as well as improved technique (more guidance with the arm). This was not (direct) training for more power, but only through stability can power develop.

@adi.24 5 ай бұрын

Hand and then wrist is still the last point in kinetic chain, the boy is moving hips too early and then body is already turned so there is less power and boy is just hitting with hands, so patrick is telling him to move the hands early from what he was doing before so that hands move with the body and not after the body has turned

I just watch Alcaraz forehands in slow motion, and he does 100% precisely completely the opposite of what the coach is saying here. Alcaraz start the movement with his legs, the energy blasts up through the hips into torso into his shoulders then finally into his arm creating a bazooka. So I am baffled by this video.

Two different styles. Two different ways of generating power: one with mainly arm/hand/wrist and the other with adding body/hip/legs. I’ve seen a lot of modern coaches prefer the second style while this coach looks like he prefers the first style.

Sir, I greatly follow up on your videos but need help. Firstly I find it really difficult to generate power with my semi-western grip, it gives me good success returning the ball due to its spin but no power. If I switch to the eastern grip, I have more power on my flat shots but most of my balls go out of the box. Secondly, I keep breaking rackets and sincerely don't know why. In 3 months, I have broken 3 rackets and cut 8 stings using my less powerful semi-western grip, it's becoming too expensive for me but I'm just unable to stop it sir. I'd really appreciate your advice and assistance sir.

Why do you change the biomechanics of hitting a particular shot based on the dominance of a person's eyes? Surely one body arrangement is most efficient and effective? Is it not within the capabilities of the human brain to adapt and is it therefore, not best to stay in the biomechanically optimal position even if the brain takes longer to adjust to it If it relies on the non-dominant eye to track the ball from that optimal body positioning?

In order to effortlessly complete a balanced upper torso rotation and follow-through, with the intention of following momentum, the right hip will usually rotate, finishing in front of the left hip. Whether open or closed stance. I may be wrong but I'm not. It can be practiced consciously and then it becomes part of your sub-conscious muscle memory repertoire, Sub-conscious, not unconcious because it can be explained. Don't believe, consider and look for this quality in all of the best players. You can't know too much and we all know too little.

@jazz19101 5 ай бұрын

This is the exact opposite advice most experts would give. They would say the swing starts with your feet pushing off the ground which causes your hips to rotate then your shoulders than lastly your arm and racket. They call this sequence of events the kinetic chain. Patrick thinks it is the opposite. I have tried using just my arm just like most beginners do and the results are horrible. It is almost impossible to hit with power and accuracy consistenly by hitting with just your arm. How many pros do you see standing sideways to the net and just move their arm? None! To say your body follows your arm at the end of the swing is not accurate.

@Emolga6274 5 ай бұрын

Kinetic chain is nonsense

@SiNk0r 5 ай бұрын

It's a cue specific to the kid, to address his issues. Obviously, you wouldn't give that same cue to a beginner who just started playing and doesn't know how to intuitively use their body. The kid has the exact opposite problem, he opens his chest and hips too fast so that mental cue helps to keep that in check. Even with that cue, the kid struggles to apply it properly in a lot of the shots. It's hard to unlearn solidified techniques. Similarly, the "kinetic chain" concept is to help hammer down the idea of the FH being a full body movement, that involves the feet, hips, shoulders and body weight transfer. The arm will always lead the upper body during contact though since you are supposed to make contact in front you. They're all different ways to explain similar concepts so don't get hang up on details, but try to look at the bigger picture of Patrick is trying to fix.

Patrick knows that the torso and shoulder rotation is not pushed by the right hand, but if you look at the kid hitting forehands at the beginning, his chest is way to open, facing forward and even to the left fence when making contact. Telling the kid to lead his rotation with his right hand and not his left is the easiest way to get him to keep his chest closed and body balanced when hitting the ball. it means he will start rotating as he hits the ball instead of fully rotating and uncoiling before even making contact like he was doing at the start

I always feel like Patrick is 10 misses and a hit with his coaching. Type Slow Motion ATP forehands court level. Dimitrov, Sinner, Alcaraz, Djokovic, Nadal. Show me at least one ATP player that has a good forehand do what Patrick teaches you. In fact you'll see the complete opposite - they all start their rotation/motion from the legs and hips. The legs are unloading, hips turning along with the shoulders and this is what creates natural wrist lag and power. The "hitting" shoulder is almost always in front of the non-hitting shoulder and gets there before the arm. It's completely the opposite of what we see taught here. That's a good way of killing forehand power, bravo Pattrick. You also contradict yourself - aren't you teaching in one of your other videos to step into the shot slightly? To generate power with your body weight? There are ways to "stabilise" this kid's forehand, without teaching him that he should generate the power with his arm only. And since your audience are also beginners, congrats on making them think that the power comes from the swing of the arm only. On a final note, who the f teaches to rotate your body, after the shot. WHAT?

Take another look at the student's strokes. And then be honest in evaluating the movements. You will find that the student has exactly the movements you described and required. The student's mistake was not the lack of power, but the lack of stability to bring both his power and control onto the court. If the student first uses their legs and then the hips, it's not necessary to point that out, and the coach recognized that. Instead, the coach is tasked with improving the individual weakness with as few interventions as possible (ideally just one). With another student, the approach would be completely different. But not because the student should do anything differently, but because every person and every tennis player is unique. The real skill lies in identifying the right lever for the individual.

I've just understood why Mouratoglou's level of play isn't fluid and why he lacks power. He doesn't seem to have understood the basics of tennis and how to generate power with his biomechanics and kinetic chain. He says the arm and wrist should initiate movement while they should be the last link in the kinetic chain starting from the ground up to take advantage of the big muscles groups and weight transfert. the so called raquet lag is a result of the arm and wrist being the last link. And yet, when we look at your former student Holger Rune, he seems to have good biomechanics. It's going to be hard to trust your next videos from now on with statements like that.
