The Key To A Powerful Forehand Is The Leg!!

[@thomasfit3095]

Shimabukuro san congrats to getting through to the main draw in Wimbledon. Good luck with the match against Grigor Dimitrov!

[@justinle5232]

I think yall got switched thumbnails for the forehand and backhand video

[@twinwankel]

Great forehand. Very smooth and effortless. He uses a form very similar to Fed in grip and stroke. It's a style that leads you to an attacking all-court game. I've watched his matches on-line and he's a great talent. Thanks for the video.

[@simi751218]

Shimabukuro pro's foot work is amazing. but Takao pros volley is even more great.

[@jolezg1986]

Thank you on subtitles!

[@peterpark20]

Thanks for great tennis lesson videos❤

[@717DTran]

What a great video!

[@rucas10]

So good !

[@af02271]

Anyone know what they meant by the "thick grip" & "thin grip" comments? By the looks of it I think by "thick" they mean more closed/semi-western, but not sure

[@socrs]

Yep, correct. Thick more towards western, thin the other way towards eastern/continental

[@thundert5203]

What’s the racket that takao pro using

[@raychayyc]

looks like a Dunlop CX200

[@Stu49583]

@@raychayycThere is literally the Yonex logo painted on the strings. It is ofc a Yonex Vcore, not a Dunlop

[@tophersuwita]

Does he use VCore 95 2023?

[@stephenmartin9553]

Vcore 98 , sounds like he’s added a lot of weight to it also

[@Gyswandir]

To whomever is doing the English subs: “mock” doesn’t mean copy or imitate. You’ve made this mistake several times. Also, the quality of the subs has deteriorated since the old videos, which is a shame, as there is a lot of interesting content that gets lost from us non Japanese tennis fans

[@af02271]

Bro, English isn't their first language. I'm just glad there's English subs at all so this content is shared with us. You still know what they mean to say, so why does it matter if the English isn't perfect?

[@Gyswandir]

@@af02271 because some videos are rendered meaningless. Hence, my regret that the quality is subpar, as I believe it would be valuable to understand what actual ATP players say about technique

[@rds4629]

It's good to give constructive feedback. The other subtitle in some of their vids that was confusing at first is "thin" or "thick grips" --> Thin = Towards Continental, Thick = Towards Western.

[@sunglee3935]

@@rds4629in Asia, they call semi western type grip thick. It’s like that in Korea also

[@Stu49583]

@@rds4629thanks for translating this thick/thin business, I was wondering myself

Thank you again for the great lesson!
