Awesome instruction. I like how you each demonstrate your contrasting styles and grips. It's nice to see the same shot repeated. It is really hard to see the differences until you see them over and over. The tactics drills look very useful. Will incorporate into my practices. Thanks guys

[@rsan1704]

You guys are so articulate. You spoke my thought exactly when it comes to the modern western forehand. The swing is abbreviated because it can’t extend far enough due to the downward facing angle. It’s a safe shot but can’t land the killer blow.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thank you for the support 👍

[@edwardvega8866]

Good job guys. I’ve followed many videos throughout the years. But the precise descriptions provided and the dynamics behind the shots are amazing. What I like the most is when a specific shot, stance, grip is compared with the alternatives. Here is when you really get it.

I watched this over and over, when either of you are actually hitting the ball your arm moves so quick I see it at start of swing (racquet in slot) and after contact (finish elbow bent and racquet placed in the backpack). Do you have any that shows hits but in slow motion so I can see what you are doing? In my head I am trying to hit the shot you are advocating but the results not the same. I am not getting it. Aside from that great video

It’s interesting to note that Federer is able to produce more spin with his eastern grip compared to Murray and Djokovic who use semi-western/western.

[@stevegordonson720]

Another great video guys! Definitely use more topspin for rallies and sharp angle shots , then flatten it more for balls above the net , for more aggressive shots and put-aways . Almost all shots I make have some topspin though even on the flatter shots . I like the exercise you gave at the end with the up the line and then inside out to the backhand . I do that one against a backboard often.

01:47 "With Eastern grip, contact point is more in front of you than SW grip..." I thought the contact point for SW grip is more in FRONT of you than Eastern. But video says the opposite. Simon, please advise.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

With the eastern, you can make contact further in front, but you have a much longer zone to make contact with the eastern in general as you have the strings flat towards the net for more longer. Federer is the perfect example. Watch how far in front he makes contact

[@JJVee427]

One of the best videos for me on youtube that's helped me a ton, watched it multiple times already.... Quick question guys, I'm a 5'8''~9'' 35yr old playing at a 4.0~4.5 lvl who's aiming to get to a solid 4.5~5.0 lvl... I learned the game in my junior years using the eastern grip, and with the modern game moving towards the Semi-Western grip I've been trying to gradually change my grip over the last few years. It's been a difficult path and I find it especially hard when trying to hit any shot which requires some wrist manipulation (ex. running buggy whip crosscourt forehand) as I don't have a flexible wrist... should I still continue to try to make the switch? I think taller guys have it better w the Eastern grip since they have a higher starting clearance for hitting the ball through and I'm not not that tall so....I'm currently in between eastern and semi-western, just wanted some expert advice :) Thanks!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thank you for watching 👍 That’s a tough question, the main thing I’m wondering is what made you want to change grips originally? I’ve played around with all the forehand grips and stuck with eastern. I prefer it for many reasons but other players may benefit from the semi, but they need to know what the end goal is with their forehand

[@JJVee427]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thanks for the reply! My end goal is to just improve my forehand and get to the ~5.0 lvl. The reason for switching is that SW grip has been the preferred grip for many players today as you know... and also that eastern is harder to play against topspin and high forehands esp if you're not that tall....you would need to take the ball earlier which is not always easy and just thought it could be better to gradually switch...but I'm experiencing that it's not easy to switch grips either and Eastern has it's own benefits also. Therefore I'm kinda stuck w what to do atm, I do feel like Eastern could be better for Doubles play which is what's played mainly here in S.Korea.

I have a quick doubt. when hitting top-spin forehand you were advocating for having the strings face the ground as this will create more spin. However, in 4:38 Alex is hitting his forehand and the strings look like they always face the side rather than the ground. This is something I used to do when I was a junior and I have seen more often on the WTA, is there any advantages to do this? My guess is a bit more control and less spin since you take the rotation component of the wrist away, what are your thoughts? maybe a video on this could be cool!

Noob question: So it seems like some grips (e.g., eastern) are more conducive to fitting flat, and others (e.g., western) are better for hitting with topspin. My coach emphasizes not messing with the grip between shots unless I'm volleying. I usually play with a Western grip when I'm at the baseline. Would you advise changing to Eastern when I get a high short ball that I can finish with a flat forehand? BTW thanks for making such great videos! I've been struggling with hitting flat forehands and found this very helpful

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Changing grips on your forehand will ruin your feel for the shot, and you’ll never master one grip. I’d advise you to experiment with a semi western grip, which will give you the best of both worlds

I’m now having wrist issues on the pinky side, and I hit a heavy ball, do you think I should start learning how to hit flat, and would that help the wrist issue? Oh I also tape my wrist all the time now cheers
