I think you misidentify jumping with what is the result of pushing with the legs up into the shot combined with a very forceful forward rotation of the torso from the hips through the shoulders combined with a very powerful forward swing of the racquet arm through the ball resulting in the feet leaving the ground. It's not so much a jump, but rather the result of tennis being best executed by coiling the body rotatioanally and flexing the legs downward and then exploding the uncoil of that position into the forehand shot resulting in an upward motion whose natural result may be the feet slightly leaving the ground. This is not a jump, but rather the result of swinging forcefully using the entire body. You'll notice it doesn't happen on all shots, just on shots in which the player has the opportunity to really tee off on a shot.

Yes you are right the take off is a possibility when hitting hard, but I think he is talking about jumping on high balls to adjust the contact point, I do both and yes sometimes it can be tricky

@@francescomanfredi I think he's talking about rec players trying to jump into their shots because they see pro's feet coming off the ground on certain shots and some people mistake that for jumping. It's not. No pros jump into their shots unless they are showboating like Monfils or Kyrgios and you probably shouldn't either. I think he should've just said, hey pros aren't jumping. They are just swinging hard an using leg drive, so don't force jumping because if it's not happening naturally, it can do more harm to your shots than good.
