In today's tennis lesson with Bremen, we work on how to use the body to allow the arm to swing more effortlessly on the forehand.

Sometimes it's just a little detail that makes you understand. That phrase, "The body helps the arm into contact, and then the arm takes over". Years of listening to people talk about the kinetic chain, but now, Nico's brief explanation, and I finally get it. Can't wait to hit the court and put it into action. Great video, Nico!

Wow Nik. Your student has improved so much from earlier videos. Both FH and BH look way more intuitive and smooth!

Another master class. I love your pin point analysis from the other side of the court. Player knows you told him about his chest & thinks he’s doing it correctly but also thinks you’re not looking out for that correction any more. And there you are not letting him get away with it. Real real nice Nick , many thanks from across the pond as they say ;)

Great video Nick. A very good example student to explain the body movement component of the stroke. He was clearly missing the body component at the beginning of the lesson. I give lessons to beginners. Been doing so off and on for over 15 years now. What I tell my students is that to hit the ball hard you need to generate raquet speed. Speed comes from the arm, body and feet compoents. On the forehand the body should be treated like a "whip" handle. All though the arm starts to move before the body, the body kicks in later, but in terms of the stroke takes the lead, letting the arm lag behind and making thearm+ raquet a whip.

Lately I’ve been using the concept of "dragging the handle" toward the ball. It helps my body to pull rather than push, which means power comes from the body and not the arm. I carried that over from a golf lesson.

@cyberjonesy 4 ай бұрын

When I teach the forehand to my beginner students, I like to tell them to pivot on the front foot(toes) and go; front, side, front. In the preparation, you are facing the net, you do the unit turn and position yourself sideways and as you hit the ball, you rotate the body into the shot to finish facing the net again. This helps them push into the ball more with their body.

Are you the one who edits these videos Nik? You do a great job of splicing in still frames or slow-mo to demonstrate what you're saying while you coach. It really helps to drive home the instruction. You're a great editor in addition to a great coach!

Really enjoyed the commentary about when to set the feet for the ground strokes and how it is more natural on the backhand to take a step into the court right "inside of" the racket drop and swing. You also mentioned getting this footwork right is easier on the closed-stance FH than the semi-open stance FH. Would be great if you had a video where you go over this for the semi-open stance FH.

Thank you coach Nick - ex athletes, no matter what sport, large upper body, they all come with some form of muscle memory from years of playing something else, what makes them harder to coach. Believe me, I am one of them. You are doing a great job correcting his dominant side - and yes, backhand is easier as there is no pre-programmed motion that needs to be corrected. Very helpful lesson, thank you!

Really nice video Nick. Tbh i am still troubled with the perfect balance of torso rotation and arm involvment. At my early days (playing 2 years now) i was moving torso more than i should, and balls were flying all over the place. Nowadays it feels better but still much work to do till full effortless power

As @sanz8607 commented, I think the left arm is constraining his forehand rotation...

@williewasahippie 4 ай бұрын

I was more of an "old school" teaching pro in the 80s-90s. I taught closed stance and with an emphasis on footwork, body turn, weight shift, and especially following through (swinging through the swing path more vs deviating from it). I think the closed stance vs open stance meant more focus on proper footwork & using the kinetic chain because, if you didn't, it would be greatly evident. When swinging open stance, I believe people can get lazy with footwork, everything else involved as well, and end up "arm swinging".

@dustyroot4708 4 ай бұрын

Yes, I think this is a valid point.

@lcervantes8505 4 ай бұрын

I think the difference in stances creates different power - closed = linear, open = rotational. Both, I believe, have different applications and should be learned.

@williewasahippie 4 ай бұрын

@@lcervantes8505 I agree. Both have their place. Even if you have a closed stance FH, you can't always do so when you don't have time.

Having him catch the racket made a huge difference. I felt like he was dropping his arm too much and it didn’t look natural

@N0mernabis 4 ай бұрын

I have the same problem for forhand: torso doesn’t work and almost all power comes from the hand. Helps when I place the racket max backward (point where the acceleration begins on the waist level) trainer holds my racket head by his hands and asks to release it. It’s hard to do only by hand but when you add screwing body movement with the torso you feel how much power you can add to the move and release the racket from trainer hands.

@2NextLvL 4 ай бұрын

when i started moving more through the ball while hitting it, it fixed my similar non-body involvement problem with my forehand. By moving to the ball with more initiative my feet stay active and my body is dynamic. I see bremen stopping all his momentum when hitting a ball, sometimes even when a ball comes short?

@DennyChau-f6w 4 ай бұрын

Could the issue be the facts he’s hitting too close he’s body and he’s arm is compensating for the turn? If he hits more in front he’s body he will naturally pivot and body can turn more naturally?

Nick if I may… Do you prefer to promote catching the racquet after the forehand or not. Or are you neither here nor there..?¿? Your students are very lucky to have you. We are lucky to have you ;)

@IntuitiveTennis 4 ай бұрын

As long as you don’t catch it out front, it doesn’t matter. Both, swinging out and letting the racquet hit the hand are ok! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJSZkmiXhrV-n5Ysi=omNhMkCt7YycEu_Q

@edwardypark 4 ай бұрын

I find that catching the racket for me at least, promotes more of the fully body engagement and rotation that Nick is talking about. Early on I used to catch more infront but now when I catch behind me after my body rotation, it confirms I’m using more of my body on my forehand.

@esmir21 3 ай бұрын

Nick, I think your student has body restrictions through his spine and he's probably not even aware of it, that's why he is not using his torso as much as he could/should naturally, you should tell him to go see a good osteopath from upledger institute, you guys are already in FL 🤷‍♂️

8:54 Did he say: „dann sehe ich schwarz“? Anyway, I think if he would load a bit more by extending his non-hitting arm a bit further to the side, the uncoiling would help him from turning his body. Wahrscheinlich hat er soviel Kraft (macht sicher viel Oberkörperkrafttraining), dass er den Schlag schnell machen kann, obwohl er ihn mit seinem Oberkörper, der parallel zum Netz ist, am Ende praktisch abbremst. Zuviel Kraft hilft im Tennis leider nicht unbedingt.
