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.

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.

It's just personal style. If you have more power and want more spin, try to change the grip a bit first, vice versa. Swing path shouldn't be always the same, and should change according to the height of the incoming ball, and by your intention as well. For example, if you want to lob, you have to swing low to high with good amount of top spin. But generally speaking, your normal swing path should have balanced power and spin, which is a combined effect of your personal swing preference, grip style, and the technique of your legs.

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.

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!

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.

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.

@@DeltoidBeast It is pretty close to impossible to generate topspin and get the ball over the net without a low to high swing path. Topspin comes from the direction the racquet face is moving relative to the angle of the racquet face. A flat swing with a flat face will put the ball in the net. A flat swing with the face slightly closed will hit ball lower into the net. You have to swing low to high to get the ball over the net with a topspin groundstroke. A truly flat groundstroke hit 80 mph with no topspin drops nearly 2.5 feet by the time it reaches the net so unless the ball is over your head you have to swing low to high to get it over the net with topspin.

@@DeltoidBeast Nice concept but reality as is quite obvious from side on video is that topspin comes mostly from the low to high hand path and that there is a very limited contribution from the legs. The legs provide power but trying to use the legs to create topspin tends to lead to errors and doesn’t create much topspin. Look at side on slow motion of forehands and you’ll see that the players waists tend to be fixed in height through contact while the hand is going low to high. Yes, more racquet head speed creates more topspin but that is because it enables the hand to move faster along the low to high path.

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.

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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

There are so many different balls which ball are you talking about and or what is the objective deep or short and what exactly does the legs do to the ball?

You'll probably tell me not to swing high to low on a backhand slice.

Thanks for a great explanation. Gotta say though, you could be an undertaker if tennis coaching doesn’t work out.

Never saying some others swinging improper . There is nothing wrong swinging within theirs comfort zones. Everyone swings are different. As long the contact point consistency putting balls at the right place. You are doing something right. Let the game do all the talking.

Does this apply to the one handed backhand as well? I think in another video you talked about staying down on the one handed backhand. Thanks!

Depends on the shot you want to hit. It is not a one stroke for all balls..mmm..that would be ....one dimensional? Low to High, not so low to not so high, chip, slice....love these tennis theorists.

I love the content of your videos Simone. But i feel the videos can be faster and messages sent across to be more succinct. Also, it’s best to have some visualisations(in the form of words/pointers) on the video, could be a tad too much talking. Also, sometimes in your videos, there’s a lot of condescending tone in your voice when you point out other people’s mistake, dont think that’s gonna sell your video. Lastly, i think there is a need to distinguish if your videos are meant for beginner/intermediate vs advanced tennis players. But of course, 1 might say “must build the correct foundations in your tennis” But anyways! Your advice is gold definitely.

Great vid, buddy! It would have been nice to include a clip of a pro player hitting through the ball (level) with graphics showing the racket trajectory, etc etc, yada yada,blah blah blah, e pluribus unum. I hope i made my point. Thank you and good night!😊

You're not wrong. Watch the pros when they are looking to flatten out a high ball, or as it's on the rise. But the best do both, at will whenever necessary.

You should observe your own video: at 08, your racket head is in front of your throat, at 09, it is behind your butt, and, at the end of the stroke, almost above your head. So, you are definitely hitting from low to high.

Unless you swing low to high, you will be hitting flat - you risk hitting the shot long or in the net. The racquet must swing from low to high to produce topspin - scientific fact. Every decent coach knows this. "Trust me - I'm a doctor!" .. we've heard this before - no chance.

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.
