I appreciate all the creativity on this channel. Not sure how effective this tip is, but the idea of releasing to get a better feel of forearm relaxation I can vouch for

[@eddiepearce5307]

Great tip/advice wish I had been taught that ages ago. Not sure I could after playing 45 years but again GREAT video

[@notsostrong]

Awesome precision and detail

[@MBJavellana]

This is excellent insight. Thanks Steve

@oneminutetennis would love a vid on reasons the hitting elbow gets stuck causing early pronation/over-rotation and how to resolve this..thks

[@oneminutetennis]

@guyrestivo hi. I'll make one. It'll be online next week. You have to remember A.T.A. 😉 I have a great solution

[@guyrestivo]

@oneminutetennis fantastic..look forward to seeing it..thks

Hi Steve, in the past you had a video talking about the impact of varying the angle of the racquet upon racquet lag where being closed meant more power and spin and hitting a bit more out front than when the racquet on racquet lag was more vertical meant less power and spin and hitting the ball less out in front but easier timing and so maybe more consistent. How does the adjustment of the racquet lag from back, down and back and down work with the racquet angle variations. Are all combinations of these two attributes appropriate? Thanks.

[@oneminutetennis]

That's a great question. I actually thought about mixing these two subjects. But I don't want to make 15 minutes videos like almost everyone else. There are different ways of creating speed and spin . Back and down will create speed and spin. Closing the racket head will create speed and spin. Generally, the more extreme the grip, the more the player will use the closed racket lags. The closer to Eastern grip the player is the more they'll use this lady variation. I coach a girl who's just outside the top 100 on the WTA tour. She will use the variation on the lag only on serve return. But she's full Western grip. Does that make sense and answer your question?

[@JoseLeitao]

It's the first time I'm hearing the "racket release" part - as a "lower intermediate" player should I apply this technique?

[@JoseLeitao]

I am referring to the moment 3:03 where the grip is released from the hand for a fraction of a second

[@oneminutetennis]

This concept is really only useful if all of the fundamentals are in place. It should be one of the last things to apply. Glad your enjoying the channel. Do you have any other tennis issues that I could help with? If so let me know www.oneminutetennis.com

Steve, do you think the biomechanics of tennis will fundamentally change in the next 20 years? I am not talking about the external factors such as physical ones, the players will get taller and stronger. Tennis did't really change in the last decades apart from style. Do you think rather the rackets or balls will have a different shape which will force the players to change the way they hit the ball? Just trying to play with the imagination.

[@oneminutetennis]

Great question. The biomechanics won't change. But our understanding of the biomechanics may improve. If you look where improvements can happen. Playing the ball earlier. Bigger second serves. Hitting closer to the lines come to mind. But biomechanics is really just the blend of anatomy and physics. So I don't think it'll change. Does that make sense

You need to have a strong wrist though

[@oneminutetennis]

I know why you may think this, but it is not true. Look at how many small children hit the ball really hard using the correct racket lag. A strong wrist helps with strokes like the volley. But the wrist should be totally relaxed in the forehand. Glad your enjoying the channel. Do you have any other tennis issues that I could help with? If so let me know www.oneminutetennis.com

Very confusing lesson ignoring what the racquet face is doing thru the hitting zone OR what kind of ball [ high, low, rising, falling] is right for each swing.
