One Simple Exercise to Get More Solid Tennis Forehand I JM Tennis - Pro Tennis Lessons

[@gregoryphillips3969]

Thank you for understanding how to teach the forehand. There are too many teaching pros including a famous one whose name starts with a P who tell their students just to flick their wrist at the ball which causes all kinds of problems. This teaching pro had a student stand in one spot and just flail at the ball with no emphasis on shoulder turn or leg drive. You're saying all the right things about catching the ball out in front and meeting the ball with the meat of the hand intact before finishing and following through great job thank you.

You are welcome! In case of Patrick - he never tought beginners or club players like me - he only works with already good hittinf juniors so he focuses on details! Amateur adults cannot learn from him - just what I think.. I work with adults on daily basis so I see what works and what does not! Check out my other sessionsn! Hope will be super helpful! Jan 🤗🎾

@@tennisfitappYour point is a good one but you see him teaching very average juniors these same techniques and it's going to stunt their development. The greatest forehands whether you're talking about, Lendl, Agassi, Becker, Nadal, Djokovic or Federer all had one thing in common. The ball is met with a relaxed wrist at impact but the meat of the hand is still striking the ball out in front without breaking the wrist instantaneously on impact. Then the arm naturally proceeds into the finish and follow through.. None of these players were just mindlessly flailing at the ball. Yes, when Serena Williams comes to you already a finished product it's impossible to screw that up and then you can take the credit and attract more students based on that connection. Holger Rune is a very talented person also. Rick Macci teaches the game perfectly whether you're a beginner or a touring pro. And you're pretty good also.

Awsome drill to find the ball in the optimal Contact point ...OCP !

[@tennisfitapp]

Yes super important, many players overlook this

[@dr.e.r.blomgren]

Simple, but brilliant.

[@tennisfitapp]

Hope it helps, check out my other training videos. thanks, Jan

Great drill. I’ve struggled to find the right contact point for so long. It’s so awkward with a semi western grip at first. I’ve been experimenting with this in rallies and found that by removing backswing I’m forced to practice a really well timed leg drive as well. Thanks!

[@tennisfitapp]

Yes this one is simple but works! All the best! Jan

[@KeyofDavid5778]

@JM Tennis - Pro Tennis Lessons for Club Players you can actually do this rallying in mini tennis warm up with soft balls !

[@direwolf525]

good tip for beginners to hit infront of the ball..

[@tennisfitapp]

Even Medium players can benefit as I coach lots of them and when they come first time to me most of them have ball too close to their body! Thanks

[@verlatenwolf]

yes, so important! Ill try this exercise.

[@tennisfitapp]

🎉🎾👏

[@hightechkheti3237]

Very use full point for beginners 😊

[@tennisfitapp]

Also medium level players still struggle to find the ball away from their body so from beginners upto medium level players Im sure it will help them!! 🤗👏 thx

[@KeyofDavid5778]

​@JM Tennis - Pro Tennis Lessons for Club Players Excellent drill .... this is the exact movement and backswing you would use for returning 100 to 130 Mile an hour serve, so no it is for experts and advanced players to !

Interesting exercise. I guess I can also use it with my partner when warming up in the service box?

[@tennisfitapp]

Yes for sure! I do it with my players

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

Apparently Quasimodo can’t get enough of a good thing- when the HELL is he gonna stop ringing that damn BELL?!! Oh yeah, you’d be finding me right at the front of the pack of torch-bearing villagers after 5 more minutes of that infernal racket (see what I did there? Racket? Yeah, it’s a gift.)

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

Also, how come everybody has one of these nice tennis walls, with sidewalls and a bright white painted strip at net height? I can’t find one to SAVE MY LIFE! Not only that, I can’t even find a good unpainted wall with a nice flat surface in front of it. ITS NOT FAIR!! WAAAAH!!!

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

Okay, all joking aside- this is a great exercise! It’s basically reminding all of us to get back to basics and stop trying to run when we should focus on learning to crawl properly first! We give lip service to the fundamentals, but when you look at what we DO, it’s bass-ackwards! If there’s one take away from your lesson, it’s to put your money where your mouth is and start working on our fundamentals and stop only talking about it... Thank you for this valuable and important reminder!!!

[@tennisfitapp]

I know funny is that when I was filming I did not even hear those church bells but my Iphone is too sensitive so getting Mic now for next one! Hope the exercise will help 🤗👏 you can do even without a wall 🎾✅
