This is, by far, the best education video about the forehand. Thank you so much for this.

As always, clear and concise instructions that motivate me to get back on the court an hour earlier. I’m off now! Thanks again! 🎾🏆

[@rosshayden1416]

Love the Alcaraz shot near the start. Especially because it emphasises that although he is creating a lot of spin the swing is still more straight than brushing over the ball. Its easy to over brush the ball and not attach forward through the ball enough.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

That all depends on the intention of the shot, topspin vs flat etc

[@rosshayden1416]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial true but even a flat shot has top spin to keep it in. And these guys flat shots still kick up a lot off the court. In this sense I feel a more flat shot should be seems as the fundamental forehand and then can be adapted for more of a moon ball or low shot for more curve over the net etc.

[@pleaseenteraname1103]

Great video. I am a junior and I have a pretty good back hand, but almost no forehand, I just don’t have the most confidence in it and I feel rushed and late almost every time I hit it, and I mostly will hit reverse forhands.

[@WyattRobbins14]

I feel you. My forehand is great, but it I can’t hit it down the line, and I often miss it anyway. This vid definitely helped me

[@leebottomley3007]

Brilliant video. Appreciate the effort you put into making this. Clear and concise, including the use of video footage of players in action. Especially the slow motion segments. It really helped me a lot. Cheers 👍

I still don’t understand the grips. It would be nice to get a more detailed description of how you’re actually holding the racket. They all literally look the same to me. Is it a difference in thumb placement? Distance from the bottom? Angle the racket is facing? I don’t understand

[@idkconflict]

from what i can understand it’s the angle and thumb placement

Is the slinger a good ball machine for practising your strokes?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Yes, for the basics

[@georgeclinton6833]

very clear

[@TheFarSideLives]

The grips need more definition. I couldn't figure out what the semi-Western grip was based on the description or picture. Moved on to other videos.

The grip setup is for another video. I don't want a 30 minute video because every aspect of the sport was covered. This is nice in that it is only covering the basics of a forehand.

[@rajchoudhary4349]

Hello Simon, do you mind me asking about the ball launcher. do you sell it?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I don’t sell it Abe, no connection to the company either, but I was sent one of the original ones before they launched

[@phillai9930]

Coach, I have one question here that I haven't heard from any other coaches. Should I focus on starting my rotation from my non dominant shoulder or arm pulling my dominat arm with the racket to hit the ball or just pull the racket from the dominant leg, hip and so forth

[@rucas10]

Perfect forehand video Simon ! Really good !

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Many thanks 🙏

[@Chris90.]

I try to do this and experience strain in my wrist. am I gripping the racket too tight? or could it be something else? (western grip)

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

That western grip is definitely not helping 🤣 I would look at that firstly

[@Chris90.]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial what is the optimal grip for this method of forehand then?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Semi western or eastern. Covered in this lesson: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmOrf6h_l9Kjg68

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial thank you!

[@foodtv7776]

Hi Simon,Is it a good idea to swing by pulling my elbow back because if I don't do it this way my elbow is very low and I don't have much force in my shots

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Leading the swing with the elbow is great for creating space

[@andrewlilico2218]

Is a video like this about what you should do to master a forehand after you have already mastered hitting with topspin from some more abbreviated swing such as an old school classic forehand? I ask because if I do what you describe I hit the middle of the ball, it goes six inches over the net, then lands a metre or more beyond the baseline. That must be because I'm not putting enough topspin on the ball, I presume. But I didn't see anything in your description of the forehand that showed how to do that, other than your comment about the face being to the floor in the preparation and the general thought that the semi-western grip promotes topspin.

[@romsu9687]

hello, i have been trying to improve my forehand but i am really confused. I spotted that you are emphasizing on the power turning from the hips to generate power, however what confuses me is if I look at another coaches (eg : patrick mouratoglou) video : he is emphasizing on letting the hand go first so the shoulder and the hips naturally open after contact point ??? Please clarify this I tested both methods but still is hard to determine which is the "correct" technique. tysm

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

The first problem is you watched that guys video. The second problem is you listened to what he was saying. Two big problems 😂

[@salvatoresaponaro3974]

What ball machine do you raccomand, best in quality price maximum budget 1200 €

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Impossible for me to say as I haven’t used many. I’ve used only the slinger and tennis tutor. Both are ok, nothing special

[@702bigron]

How is the other arm helping track the ball of it’s going across your body?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

As the ball bounces on your side and starts to rise up, the non hitting hand will open up, and point towards the ball, as if you were going to catch it. That’s when it helps you track it properly

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Vamos 💪 Good luck with your journey, beware the frauds that solely teach for monetary reasons and don’t love the game. They’ll kill your own passion and destroy work environments. A few good mentors goes a long way. I owe much of my own knowledge to learning from some of the best minds in tennis when I started teaching

[@johnbentley6081]

If I can give any advice it would be to dream big, follow your dreams and always aim for them. Never give up. Dreams take work. I’m sure you’ll get there.

[@ronm7114]

From the western grip, when unloading, u can simply hit a flat ball by not making a topspin shot. Its a lot easier to hit spin with western. But u still have to actually do so with the racket swing. So flattening out with the racket works just fine for a more attacking shot. I dont know, but K hits quite hard.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Two things there: 1. The western grip allows you to produce more topspin due to the angle of the strings, they’re more closed to the ground. So, yes you can still hit a flatter shot if you have mastered the racket angle and swing path, but for 90% of players using a western grip, that won’t be easy to do, and 2. NK does hit hard, but that doesn’t mean he hits flat. He can flatten out the ball, but he’s an elite player and he even changes grips when hitting those slap winners

[@smilesrykee7067]

What ball trainer is that?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Slinger

[@cookielee6749]

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

[@emilun77]

As a beginner I’m struggling to get into a good position to execute the swing.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

You’ll need to work on your hand, eye, foot coordination

[@NONO-hz4vo]

There really is not substitute for time on the court. The more focused you are the less time it will take.
