5:44 onwards aren't you talking about internal shoulder rotation not supination? Supinaton is forearm. You then start talking about "shoulder supination". The shoulder doesn't supinate, it rotates. I think your use of terminology isn't helping to explain the biomechanics.

I am taking about achieving supination. Pronate supinate pronate. Forehands and serves need this. Obviously the shoulder doesn’t supinate and you need internal shoulder rotation to achieve supination. But you can also have ISR without the correct supination. I demonstrated the role of the shoulder to achieve the supination.

“Loose with your arm, not with your hand.” This goes against much of what is taught on KZbin but it’s what I’ve observed at the practice courts of pros during tournament preparation.

This is very interesting. You can clearly achieve the often sought after wrist lag, just by loosening everything your arm AND your wrist. This DOES add power as it provides an extra link in the chain. But what you've demonstrated here is very interesting. By 'exaggerating' the shoulder rotating and elbow leading the way, the wrist still lags, but much later (much closer to the contact point time). You still get all the links but you get a more stable contact because the wrist isn't flopping all over. Very interesting indeed. I'll have to try this.

Ppl are finally figuring out (including me) the wrist needs to be stabilized for better, more reliable shots. The focus always has been “elbow elbow elbow” completely ignoring the noodle action of the wrist, causing inconsistency (hit or miss) with the FH. Funny enough, about 2 weeks ago my jr kid finally realized this on her own and disciplining herself to “quiet down” the wrist action. Going to take another 2-4000 shots for the new muscle memory to kick in but luckily, she gets plenty of court time and the FH already looking 1000x better. This is a great and detailed video.

My question is - is the shoulder rotation + supination that causes this impression or should I have the image to lead this part of the stroke with the elbow?

This technique is more accessible,but I would just add that when I tried it, I found it really only worked at higher racquet head speeds, I struggled just stroking the ball . That might well be an ability/technical issue on my part though! I found it naturally lowered my follow through aswell,nearer waist level than shoulder.

I assume that in order to feel and execute the lag with your shoulder on your forehand, it is useful to hold the racket in a choked position, meaning that the handle should stick out below your pinky a little bit and the lower part of your palm supports the racket automatically. Playing like this when you warm up works like magic. Thus, your muscle memory is set every time you play. You are definitely right by saying too wristy forehand strokes result in a lack of control. This is also useful for practising volleys as to eliminate wristy movements.

This is such a good lesson but something that almost never gets talked about, and something I only recently realized. Everyone focuses on this 'lag' as a result of staying loose and basically pulling a rope...but the reality is that the racquet configuration gets into that position because of the shoulder rotation. I've found it tough to fix though, and its worth noting that most top players have way more shoulder ROM than the average player, which enables them to do things that look easy but are extremely difficult.

I'd love to hear or see your thoughts on the role of the elbow and the biceps in the kinetic chain. I see there are several comments about (internal) shoulder rotation being the key element, but imo it seems the elbow/biceps part is where things often break down, even when players manage to activate leg, hip and shoulder drive. At one point in any sound kinetic chain, it is the elbow's role to drive the chain (using the biceps muscles I presume). To me, it looks like this is the part referred to as "extension". During this phase, the legs, the hips and the shoulder have stopped or slowed down to (almost a) stop. The only part moving from then on, is the arm, and the "force" that should be driving the arm forward, is the upper arm, using the biceps to lift and rotate the shoulder, akin to an uppercut elbow hit. Even when a player has a straight arm forehand, where internal shoulder rotation (ISR) plays a more important role than with a bent arm FH, there still is a point where the efficient kinetic requires an elbow/upper arm acceleration, and the arm to bend.
@gabrielalcocer8051
@gabrielalcocer8051 3 жыл бұрын
I think they provide stability but I think of the arm as more passive, gravity (pendulum) accelerates racket, and hip drive provides additional pulling power through ‘slot’ to contact.

Supination is turning the palm up to face the sky. In the context of the forehand, you can create racket lag by supinating the wrist OR by externally rotating the arm. Federer and Nadal are examples of players who create wrist lag via arm external rotation. Jack sock is someone who uses a lot of wrist supination to create wrist lag.

You’re trying to hit a ball to send it to a certain spot on the court, not trying to throw your racket as far as you can! Anyway, especially for rec tennis, it’s a silly idea.

Great stuff Tom. Good to see you're continuing with this forehand series and each time I learn a little more. Okay, now I have the exact same wrist position as Nitzan when he's doing the 'wrong' wristy forehands. I have been aware of this for months now but every time I thought I had made some improvement, videos didn't lie (*I filmed myself*) and it was more or less the same dropping the wrist a bit too early during points. Have you found any drills, on- or off- court, that most effectively correct this muscle memory? Personally, for me to best calm the wrist and engage the rest more, it's the feeling of elbowing someone behind me during backswing until I feel a stretch in the muscle (chest and back) and then let go and let the hip uncoil to pull everything forward. But during points, whenever there's little less time to prepare, I'd easily revert to forearm/wrist.....

This is brilliant. If I use my wrist, the racquet head often goes in front of elbow, opens the racquet face and I have no rotation into the ball. For me at least, supination incorporates the bigger muscles, and I can keep butt cap in front, closed face, and earlier contact. I think top players LOOK wrists, but really it’s letting the racquet go after contact-there’s a great Vic Braden video where he analyzes Agassi (who everyone used to say was ‘wristy’ when he came along-but really, he was just letting it go after contact..and it basically kept his swing going forward until follow-through, it wasn’t driving the shot. My sense is coaches who fixate on wrist really mean to initiate follow through after contact-to help focus on forward motion rather than use wrist to provide the power. I see so many players slapping with wrist, and unless timing is perfect the ball can fly. And consistency suffers. Thanks, this really helps-mostly getting the rotation right, letting the elbow get back in front of the wrist letting the shoulder provide power.

Great vid. Goes to show how difficult it is to implement a proper kinetic chain. I guess this has to do with our wrist-movement-proficiency: most can throw a frisbee, a ball or playing cards with great accuracy and speed, with just a "flick" of the wrist. The problem is when this has to be unlearned or adapted into a new and larger sequence of movements. Add to that, you often have to be able to revert to "wrist" shots at time during a match, when that is the only option, f.inst. out wide "squash" shots.

This is correct, some refer to it as long axis rotation. For me it looks like the face angle is open more than most advanced players as he starts his forward motion into contact. Also some footwork that could be more consistent for those middle balls. Too open stance at times for a neutral ball down the middle. The other concern I have is ...where is the target context? Is the objective just to make the ball in play? Mechanics are going to vary a bit based on the objective.

Jumping on the forehand can't be helping with throwing the arm at the ball ... If you a skipping a stone accross the lake you would not jump to make your hand faster, you would need good base to spin your body. He definitely hits the ball better when is not jumping during the shot. Just an opinion

Yes you’re correct. He gets far too much of his power through the jump. If he threw better he wouldn’t need to jump. If he didn’t jump he might throw better!

I find it easier myself to give myself a bit more space and lower the racquet earlier, it allows me to throw my arm(and racquet) at the ball easier. It feels more natural because my racquet head has much less downward motion and much more forward one. Also, I try to push as much as possible from the back leg because it allows me to spin fast, but my spin goes to a point(may be when my body is facing forward) then it stops and it's all my hand flying through the ball. You are doing a great job of looking at different ways to explain the concept of striking the ball. Makes me really think of how I can explain what I feel and try to do while playing. Thank you

Y not try to tell ur student to imagine a ext.shoulder rotation movement in the forward swing after pat the dog ??!! That will resolve everything else... As the torso squares up to the net , the arm has to come thru with that pre.stretched shoulder jt and then just internally rotate to windshield wiper 🎾

I think you are doing harm to his forehand. It looked much more like the pros are hitting before. The wrist lag is a very strong weapon in my opinion.

What? The wrist lag is a strong weapon? He didn't have any. That's what we are working on. The pros don't do what he was doing. None of them.

@@TomAllsopp interesting that you say that! Here I was thinking that Stef's forehand was most similar to yours (I really like the elegance of Eastern grip forehands). I would've thought you'd like how Stef does not 'pat the dog' and rather has his strings perpendicular to the ground during the wrist lag. Is the only issue that it's too wristy, or is there something else? Thanks so much for your videos!
