Thanks 4 the Video Ryan.. Im beginner in tennis. Its difficult to me to manage my breath and exhale. Wish there was a video expalining it. Many thanks before

[@bournejason66]

I bet he doesn’t like low balls😂. Didn’t know he’s using such an extreme grip until now. Thanks Ryan👍🎾

[@miketang7533]

Very intriguing and detailed analysis 👍🎾🙏

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thanks so much Mike!

[@spencercollimore3065]

hey! love your content, but could you please do an elena rybakina forehand analysis! this would be highly appreciated, as her forehand is one of the most damaging shots on the WTA at the moment. thank you!

[@tennisteuton]

Taylor Fritz using almost a Hawaiian forehand grip was NOT the video I was expecting, hahaha

[@2MinuteTennis]

I know right? Insane. I can’t use that grip and hit anything other than a crappy shot.

[@tennisteuton]

@@2MinuteTennis I think Western is quite sufficient. Also, your wrist will probably thank you.

[@encorecoatingsuniversity3203]

People SLEEP on the non hitting arm rotation! Changed mine for sure. Thanks dude you are a GREAT teacher 👍

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thanks so much! IYKYK

[@sympresa]

Very good video, thanks!

[@bonzwah1]

something to note is that fritz holds the racket with a closed fist rather than having his index finger out (trigger finger). This messes with the index knuckle as a guide for referencing grips. If you hold a racket with a conventional grip with your fingers separated and your index trigger finger out, and then you slide into a fist grip with your fingers all together, you will notice that your index knuckle slides down the bevels (so a semi-wester will now look full western), but you will also notice that it doesn't change the orientation of the face of the racket relative to your wrist. so a "western grip" with a closed fist actually squares up at the same height above the ground as a "semi-western" conventional grip. *edit* so to clarify, though his grip is past western if we use the index knuckle as a guide to define it, the actual orientation of the racket face is the same as a conventional western grip.

[@themrstroke]

Great point. I think also when one goes to a closed fist type grip structure, in addition to the index knuckle shifting more western so to speak, the heel pad shifts a bit more eastern, which as you point out, changes the ultimate palm position at contact. For all this reason, I would say Taylor, like Jack Sock, is in a regular western grip, not a Hawaiian grip.

[@CooperWilliamson-j8x]

Love this Thank you!!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Hey thank you so much!

[@lcervantes8505]

Is the grip part of the stroke where it works together with the elbow in, or are they independent factors?

[@mdavis7143]

awesome eval

[@smogulla]

Thanks Ryan. Great explanation. If we go full extreme grip or full western for that matter, does handling low balls gets tough ?

[@Nicky_Cool]

It's supposed to, but I have a full western and my best shots tend to be on lower/mid height balls while I struggle with heigher balls even though most say the opposite. When I watch Fritz practice he doesn't seem to have any problems with the lower balls and seems to be very comfortable with them like me.

[@Nicky_Cool]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpPYZKCGic9mosk&ab_channel=12kgp-Tennis Like here at 0:38 he crushes a seemly lower ball.

[@Nicky_Cool]

If you switch to a more western grip it probably is harder, but I don't think it's hard for people who have always played with that grip.

[@richard_ager]

Out of respect to the islands, I'd definitely try out the Hawaiian grip if I ever get to play tennis there! 😂

[@transamination]

They way he hits, you wouldn't think he was using an 18x20 pattern.

[@2MinuteTennis]

That is very true!

[@joelintl2226]

Why is that?

[@BranSay]

Very similar technique as Iga Swiatek!

[@Monsterenergy791]

Surprised how low his elbow & hand is on the take-back.

[@2MinuteTennis]

I was too. Didn’t realize it was that severe until I started analyzing it below filming the video. Crazy.

[@ssenssel]

A high level player who doesn't use a pistol grip... color me intrigued

[@2MinuteTennis]

Yep. Very interesting.

[@themrstroke]

Very similar to Iga Swaitek.

[@tennisblood]

This is too complicated. sort of calculus to me, when I'd be contempt with the simple arithmetic...

[@2MinuteTennis]

I agree with you. Some people like complicated videos though. Thanks!!!

[@richard_ager]

​@@2MinuteTennisHorses for courses! I'm one of those who love the detail; it really helps me improve my game.👍

[@ajollypanda4175]

@@2MinuteTennis I came to this channel for the 2 minute videos but the linger ones are so detailed and as a coach I love then!

[@tenniscoach.bruggenwerth]

I totaly disagree with the Hawaian or even Western GRIP. Its a strong semi Western imo. If its a Western or Hawaii GRIP at contact Point the Back of His Hand would be Pointing at the net. Its Not the Case isnt IT?🎉

[@2MinuteTennis]

Ok thanks!!!

[@ManagerMia]

Taylor has said himself he uses a western grip

[@ManagerMia]

@@ManagerMia than Taylor doesnt know His gripname... If He Had a Western GRIP the Back of His Hand would be Pointing to the net at contact point....thats Not the Case

[@2MinuteTennis]

@@ManagerMia 26 years of coaching has taught me to not believe what people say about grips they use. You saw where his knuckle is placed. His knuckle was not on 5. If he used a western grip his knuckle would be on 5. I think all that tells us is that he isn’t correct about the FH grip he uses.

[@Lecia-lithium]

You swing THROUGH the ball not down to up. Another coach who's never played competitive
