Forehand Technique Improvement

[@kalpetkov]

One of your better and most honest videos by far!

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you, appreciate your nice comment!

[@pats300zx]

Great video Jeff. This is exactly what I am working on now as far as trying to compact my swing. I find that with older traditional methods I can be late to hit the ball which leads to arm and elbow issues for me.

[@Thomas-74]

Great video Jeff! Just manage to change my forehand using your great videos. For me coming from old school technical swings, this videos has really helped me alot!! Thank you for a great work, You are the best coach on youtube!!

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you, appreciate your nice comment!

[@harvindersinghvirk818]

Very well explained Jeff, I endorse this technique since I've adopted in April. I find it more stable and efficient... easy to time the shot with higher racquet head speed!!!

[@econprofaj]

Forehand is definitely not my problem but was curious about what Jeff had to say. I never really thought about my backswing until he mentioned efficiency and he’s so on the mark! As for me, I think baseball helped because I was so intent on creating bat speed which is generated from having a strong core. Excellent advice!

Great video. Here are a few topics that would be great for you to cover (and if you have videos on them, I found them hard to find). First, I would love to see a video for serving out wide (ad court for righties, deuce court for lefties) without a kick serve. A kick serve is not realistic for most people 50 and over and those 4.0 or lower. But some tips on where to stand and where to aim to pull an opponent off the court would be great. Second, a video on flexibility, particularly the trunk and chest for maximizing serve prowess (I think your ability to curve your mid spine is a key to your strong kick serve, for example). Just a few thoughts.

thanks for another nice tennis tip! For me, ~ 3,5 it is really nice to watch your movies and learn from them.

[@TennisEvolution]

You're welcome, that's amazing to hear!

[@xXpeeteerXx]

Thankg you! Rally balls are easy but when it comes to match play or shorter ball with less pace, it's hard to do the same as rally/practice ball

[@TennisEvolution]

You’re welcome! Glad to help. Great point. That's why I suggest to start off with hand feeding and practice your way up to rally. Aside from the technique aspect, the footwork plays a critical role.

[@peterbedford2610]

Do you think lowering string tension by 15# would make it more difficult to generate spin?

[@andrewcisternino8271]

Goid video...Thinking outside the box

[@robertonunez1085]

Very good tips Jeff !! You may consider to make a video about the serape effect too, because is very important when we think on explosive mouvement of the torso.Thank you very much !!

[@twinwankel]

I've been doing this for years and had very few wrist problems. In fact, having a very loose arm is key to hitting with power. I think if you want to use a big backswing, you will need to play further back behind baseline to give you time to wind up. Thanks Jeff.

[@akaebbassouan4979]

Une bonne idée pour améliorer le coup droit et le rendre monstrueux. Thanks

[@watcher687]

Nice surprise! Thanks, Jeff.

[@ripleypipe]

Thank you Jeff, yet more excellent tutoring.

[@vassilok]

Great video. Thanks for your thoughtful analysis. I am trying to help my competitive 11-year- old decide how to adopt this type of forehand. All the next-gen dudes are using it. One question: What does the non-dominant arm do? Same as before? Thanks

[@jithboy4561]

As always a great video you know Jeff even my coach don't teach me like this I learned lot from you I improved my game in 1 week my kick serve is fantastic ace thanks again coach.(sorry if there is any Grammer mistake )

[@yakzivz1104]

this is another technique that can work!! I'm going to stick to my C technique for a little while though.

[@fingersm]

C is the best technique imho.

[@yakzivz1104]

@@fingersm Yeah I agree with you. It's like you can do a little C for low balls and a big C for regular balls.

[@sebastiansantos5561]

What about the Holger Rune forehand¿? Is diferent than what Jeff is shoulding in this video

[@RayyanAziz-ku2rc]

great content

[@niceguy5430]

Make a vedio on preparation for a match.....i mean what should be done on the day of the match....what the pros do,what they eat and how many hours before the match they eat....and what exercises they do and how they remain mentally relaxed...

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback and will add your request for future videos.

[@woohkim8637]

Jeff, thank you for sharing again

[@hussTennis]

On the "set" even though you bring up elements that consider style I'm still glad to hear your opinion on my channel people keep telling me to prepare my FH right earlier. I'm not sure why they are so obsessed with it, maybe they heard it from their tennis teacher.

[@Mickey_McD]

Interesting ideas, Jeff! Do you use this set and drop technique in combination with your turn the hand technique? Thanks.

[@dammitol25mg19]

Good lesson, Jeff.

[@danwalsh3755]

Fix my forehand, coach Jeff! No one else has been able too. I have a decent one handed topspin backhand, but im late on almost every forehand. In actual matches i hit almost all my forehands late and then do a buggy-whip running forehand Gasquet style.

Those courts look familiar :) Can confirm this method works! --Wes

[@markgarvan1823]

Ye im trying too sort that out

[@gregyang3770]

Great video.

[@esar1499]

I prefer the Rublev's forehand , no pet the dog and also natural. Plus we all know what his forehand does...splitting mountains in halves!

[@alekseyplotnikov8394]

Totally agree. People too obsessed about pet the dog concept i think.

[@kalpetkov]

I'd argue that Rublev is doing exactly what Jeff is saying in this video. The only reason you don't see the "pet the dog" portion of his forehands is because his strings are slightly open at the "pet the dog" phase of his stroke. Here's a link to a slow mo video of Rublev's forehand kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGfXimSCe8t-q7c

[@sebastiansantos5561]

Im agree¡! the Rublev's forehand is more natural and will cause less injuries in the future. Now the pet the dog I find a way that can cause less injuries is not making a big inverted loop like Nole just making it almost a strait back swing. Tell me something about it

[@sebastiansantos5561]

@@kalpetkov Im not agree Rublev's does like Del Potro and that is not the pet the dog

[@sebastiansantos5561]

What I want to mean is that both forehands the face goes to the back with open strings and in the pet the dog the raquet fall next to the player and with the raquet face close; like Diego Schwartzman either. If not watch the tennis videos and you will see

[@nikolasyyy]

Many thanks. That about WTA

[@mowghlee]

How about similar video on backhand ?

[@markgarvan1823]

Id keep on trying maybe 10 lessons for me

[@noelcollins955]

I would like to be more relax and fluid but can't seem to. I need more than "Just Do It". Any tips on how?

[@Annoy-u4e]

I think all these are valid points however one main thing with all technique on all strokes is to have swing continuous with no Stoppage . As soon as we stoppage in technique it disrupts the kinetic chain and smoothness of stroke

[@9r393]

What about when the ball is coming at you fast and heavy?

[@maulanaalfarisi2905]

I copy thiem forehand, is it okay?

[@soevjaanoemar2761]

I think that's best Forehand 🙏

[@saiadith7740]

Yes

[@farafabdel5236]

Hey Jeff what I'm looking for but I filmed myself I find my preparation in loup Thanks

[@TennisEvolution]

You're welcome! Happy to help.

[@dg2973]

Set drop, not fluid, feels akward for me

[@Dmdirmrjr33]

I Wana see u using the set and drop in a match . Let’s see if

[@cacaoperesoso732]

From a physics standpoint the bigger the loop will give you faster head speed...a compact swing will require more acceleration, all things being equal

[@Bikerbeest]

Nice , tennis is almost the same as handling a whip

[@SuperSol1987]

It’s like releasing a freebie

[@mikeso5963]

Do girls' games need a big back swing? AKA WTA forehand

[@TennisEvolution]

It depends on the player style Mike. We also need to consider the speed at which the women play in the WTA.

[@ElSupremo5]

Wow this is heretic stuff! But i love it
