He is teaching an all arm forehand where the arm pushes through the hitting zone. The rotation of the body leading with your strong leg to your strong side hip should be forward force of the forehand allowing you to not only use your full body weight behind the ball but it also allows the high velocity snap rotational force(such as unwinding a twisted rubber band) to generate power on the ball. High speed rotational movement with mass of the body will give one a much more powerful forehand than a stroke with just arm mass.

@@Better_Call_Raul he is teaching moving the arm parallel to the ground to get pop on the ball. That is ok however one will have only mass of the arm behind the ball. I’d rather have the mass of my entire body weight in a high rotational velocity putting the force behind the ball. When the arm rotates through the hitting zone while connected to the rotational force of the body you’ll have a lot more power than the arm out front alone like he demonstrates.

It's still low to high, but just at a different degrees. You're right in that it doesn't need to be as extreme as some are being taught but watch any slow motion video of the big 3 and you'll see wrist is about waist level and finishes around the shoulder. What you're teaching is what we call, flattening out the stroke or hitting through the ball more. It still in essence is low to high.

Hearing this I feel taken for a fool. Of course we don't play with straight legs...it's quite natural to go down on my knees, as well as adusting hand and body to incoming ball height. And anybody can choose the way to follow through, more flat or not, over or under the opposite shoulder. Of course begginners are often taught to wipe over the shoulder because it adds margin over the net, especially if you don't push enough body weight through the ball. I hate all those controversial titles just made to add views on YT accounts.

I've learned this by using a pure drive that added a LOT of power to my swing. Doing low to high movement with the arm did not add enough topspin to keep the ball in the court. Only by loading my legs and exploding up was I able to get the necessary topspin. This is particular evident when going for a forehand down the line after receiving a heavy cross court shot, it is almost impossible to redirect the ball with arm alone.

I didn't know that, so I'm glad I found this video. But there is something else no one ever talks about, and that is using your elbow to whip the forehand. It requires very little motion and supplies a huge amount of leverage. I know some teachers say to use the largest muscles, and rotate with your shoulder, not your wrist. They often don't even mention the elbow. If you cock your wrist with the head of the racquet pointing up, you can knock the crap out of the ball just by moving your elbow. Less motion = more accuracy. The power comes from your forearm muscles, and mine are very strong, so this works for me. I guess another way to put it is to say one should hit a forehand like they hit a serve. The most movement on a serve is from the elbow, and that is why you can hit the ball 200 kmh (well, some can). I'm not that great, so take my advice with a grain of salt. I haven't had enough experience to get really good, but I can KILL my forehand using my method. I also have a very hard serve, which comes from using a lot of wrist and elbow. I get the topspin by jumping up into the ball, yielding a high bounce to the opponent's backhand side, which is something almost nobody returns well.

Nah... Questionable stuff. Misleading for a beginner. I mean, _just look at your own strokes_ in the beginning of the video, and the swingpath / path of your racket head on those. Fully contrary to what you claim at 3:18. To further confirm how the swingpaths tend to look like, anyone can go and look at a number of videos of pros hitting on KZbin. The problem is that at 3:18 you go OTT with how the swingpath supposedly should be. Nearly horizontal. A beginner will wonder why it's so hard to keep the ball in play. You might see this maybe on occasion on a flattened more attacking ball. Which leads to a final point of: it depends on the situation. Are you hitting a more attacking or a more defensive ball given the spot you're in... How much margin do you want to put on the ball... Are you trying to hit through the court or use an angle... The height of the incoming ball... Etc.

Fully agree. Also he mentions using the legs to create topspin, but most Pros are very stable at contact; yes they get below the ball, but rotate on a fairly flat plane. Rublev is a prime example. In a recent video this same instructor told us not to extend up with the legs in the backhand, ‘stay sitting in the chair’. Not sure who is more confused, us or him!

Don't be fooled. His swing path is absolutely low to high. not flat. not high to low. The two main points you CAN take away from this is ... 1 - start really low - bend your knees to explode up / through the ball and 2 - use more wrist / windshield wiper motion to get that extra topspin.

So... I've just watched the guys on OTI and he says the low to high body movement is also innaccurate! Which I personally agree with. None of you ("coaches" including the 4-5 different ones I've had over the years)) are explaining this. That while yes, you want bent knees for spring, but mainly to enable the transfer of weight starting on the back foot, then twisting through the kinetic chain twisting forward to the front foot or even jumping off the feet. Many of the times by the time the pro player hits the ball they're not low at all, they're springing forward from the weight balance transfer. It would be great if you would complete the advice in your video to explain this please. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Good breakdown. I feel like 'low to high' is a saying from the 70s/80s. I feel like 4.0 and below just don't get the legs aspect of things. You see the same mistakes over and over again. Anyway, I find to create more top, besides what you said, just opening the face a hair more is all you need to do. Like you said, the bulk of the swing is from the legs/hips/core and the arm if loose...just comes along for the ride.

At the end of the day depends on which shot you want to hit and where is the placement of the ball. For example if the ball is too short this technique that he's is teaching will only result in a mistake in the net. Brushing ( low to high ) happens on every shot, the only difference is if you want to play a flatter shot or a shot with more spin.

The point is that you should lower your body and not just your hand. If you focus on just your hand going below the ball, then you might be dropping your shoulder and leaning over instead of just bending your legs to get under the ball. He saying at that point once your body is under the ball by bending your legs, then you will have to have to hit low to high. So that point it’s better to hit through the ball. That way you have spin and penetrate the court. I am guilty of using my hand and arm only. Produces tons of spin but no real weight behind the ball.

I agree about bending the knees, but if you are 6ft & over, yes, you can flatten the ball more, but most people are 5ft10 less & they must brush up to get the ball over the net because the ball cannot be hit easily at a higher height (shoulder height). Moreover, taller players have a few tens of seconds more to hit the ball. The net is less of an issue for taller players as they can hit the ball at a higher height than other smaller players, comfortably & easily. Women are usually even smaller. But i agree about bending.

@@carlosflores4179 Uhh 🤔 "You don't hit a forehand like a forehand"? "It's to the front"? Wow man, that's very insightful! 😄 If you're trying to disagree and rebut my comment, you should probably reread everything and think again.

@@carlosflores4179 well, a slice can be hit on either the backhand OR forehand. It's high to low to create backspin while topspin is low to high. Even as you attempt to flatten out your swing, it's still either low to high or high to low. You have many degrees of possibility for Racket speed and power and touch and trajectory. I am still not sure why you replied to my comment in the first place.

I guess top spin forehand is bit overhyped and many rec tennis players including myself start trying them way too early before properly developing the technique. And yes, heavy top spin gives us depth, angle and less likeliness of error, but not so much if it is not with enough plow through. I think this video will definitely help a lot to those who recently started applying top spin to their forehand and felt like their power actually got weaker. If I somehow go back to the point when I first learned forehand, I might start trying top spin only after I am able to land my forehand on the baseline and start to miss long.

Watch how high Sinner’s follow through is before he finishes his swing on his forehand. You can see in slo mo how his forearm covers his chin or mouth. This gives massive topspin.
