This one video answers so many of my questions about wrist position, swing path, contact position, and hip turn that I don't really need to watch any more. I learned the classic neutral stance, racket low, extend the follow through to the target and finish high. I was having trouble transitioning to more of a rotational swing and Meike's instruction lit so many light bulbs! Thank you!

Classic cycle of frustration I go through often is first I sent balls flying high and long, then try to adjust how my racket, hand and underarm are positioned at impact, to then sent them into the net instead. I kinda think your video gives a clue what my problem is. Don't control the "blackbox" of racket, hand and underarm movement at impact, instead control what's around it and what leads to impact (and then what follows). Thanks for this reeeeeally insightful video. You really explain and illustrate it in a way that make your muscles tickle.

Awesome and interesting! I'm doing a class with 6 adults for 2 weeks on FH. Watching their FH shots frame-by-frame, the 2 main things I notice are not relaxing the wrist and arm to extend (resulting in cramping) and weight transfer being quite right to left (sideways, instead of forewards). Great video and thanks for sharing and investing in tennis players world-wide!

I have reviewed so many topspin videos. I tend to hit too flat. This is by far the best video I've seen since it starts with loading the leg, creating a kinetic chain. Numerous videos talk about lag; numerous talk about maintaining a relaxed wrist and pulling the racquet through with the body to create lag. But this one really gives me a place to start to rework my forehand in ways that others do not. I know I am going to be working with the ball machine and checking in with this video repeatedly as I refine my stroke. In fact, I am so eager that I am going to hit the ball machine today!!!

Meike, my understanding of the modern groundstrokes includes minimizing the roundhouse swing shape (e.g., going right to left for a right-handed forehand) and instead adopting a more straight-line, low to high swing shape. The problem, as I understand it, with the roundhouse swing shape is that the substantial right to left (or left to right) motion requires more exact timing to avoid hitting the ball wide. By keeping the hitting elbow away from the torso and higher (to shorten the backswing), the groundstroke takes a more back to front motion, making it more resilient to hitting wide errors.
@MeikeBabelTennis2 жыл бұрын
You still have extension (down and back to forward) when you have the more "modern" forehand. If you're trying to take away the angular (roundhouse) motion though you're severely limiting the effective use of the lower body where all energy is created.

many good points, again; stumbles on one really important one without really digging deep. Understanding the mechanics of the buggy whip FH is one of the best ways to encourage relaxation of the tricep (so that any lag and then arm extending is caused by the speed of pulling the upper arm out and forward rather than by consciously extending the elbow with unnecessary tricep contraction). It also demands a more instantaneous coordination between hip and shoulder over a smaller range of motion. Generally i find an instant improvement in relaxed lag, and in to out forward swing path in the players "regular" FH resulting in increased speed and thus power. Sometimes explaining that buggy whip is absolutely as safe on the shoulder as windscreen wiper deceleration is in itself useful in removing self imposed limitations due to misconceptions.

Thanks as usual, I have a request, I would like to see the area of impact on the ball during the various heights while hitting a forehand. I am still confused, whether to hit in middle ( Equator) or on the Norway or Sweden ( on just top) when the ball is high and various heights . So far nobody has done the video on this topic.
@MeikeBabelTennis Жыл бұрын
Probably one reason nobody's done that because each ball is different in terms of not only height but also pace, depth, spin. Then you have your court position and your opponent's and what you want to do or can do with that ball. So it's difficult to say that you should hit every ball at the same height. That's why we're now saying that you have a strike zone ranging from hip to shoulder as opposed to justthe hip (which is what we were told when I was a kid).

Hello teacher. I feel a lot respect for you because I feel you are teaching the right tennis technique. What I try to do in very forehand I strike is: Rotate my hips with my shoulders, holding the throat of the racket with my left hand, when there is not possible rotate more the hips, rotate shoulder over hips (like Robin Soderling. He is my reference), "stretch" my relaxed right arm and then try to move the racket with my "legs". For me, "It is not allow" to move the racket with my right arm muscle. My right arm muscle, tendon and ligaments are in charge of transfer the energy coming from my legs and the rotation of my hips. In this way, I can feel my arm and my racket traveling freely in a circular path without my right arm effort but a lot of physical effort were applied to my legs to rotate my hips quickly almost 90 degree. This apply to open stance, semi-open stance and close stance. Feel the arm traveling freely in a circular path is the feedback I use to check if I am using my legs and my hips as a source of the energy.

No, you don't have to have a big take back to get the lag. Look at Iga Swaitek's FH, very compact and "short" or Ash Barty's. Or the "bigger" ones like Simona Halep, Madison Key's or Daniil Medvedev's. The take back really is more style, the important part is the correct loading and having a relaxed arm so that the weight of the racket can move freely.
