So true, happy to bump into your video, it really helps my understanding how to approach forehand stroke in such easy explaination...thanks a lot coach...GBU

This is a great lesson coach. Rarely come across a thorough and complete breakdown of the stroke mechanics. Now I don’t have to figure out how to connect the different parts together

I’ve found that most amateur players have a bigger issue of having their face too open at contact. The pet the dog is a way that some instructors have found gets the face closed. However, it promotes a opening of the face because you can’t hit the ball with the strings pointed at the ground, so you have to go bring up (opening) the leading edge of the racquet. This helps force a brushing of the ball but it sets the path so parallel to the plane that you have to swing faster to try to generate any pace. This is why I teach a face that starts on the edge perpendicular to the ground so as you approach the ball you can close the face (countering the common error of having your face too open). Also having the face at a 45 degree angle helps get spin and pace and is easier to control because your racquet can extend toward the target.

Do you extend outwards at the 45 angle? Or you extend straight towards the net? I feel like when I “extend” it feels like I’m “pushing”

I think you kind of address this in the video where you say you extend slightly to the right

@HammerItTennis

@@s2lai as your hitting the shot, the head of the racquet should begin to extend out toward the right slightly. With the rotation of your shoulders this gets the racquet toward the target. If you feel like you’re pushing it’s because your hands and the racquet head are moving together instead of racquet head passing the handle and using the leverage of the racquet.

how many reps do you recommend to do ? thanks

Hi Daniel, great video! I have the following two questions: 1. You say that right after contact point the wrist straightens in order to apply leverage into the shot. I´ve seen other videos of tennis instructers who claim that the wrist is not moving at contact point or shortly after that. And if you watch for example Federers forehand in slowmotion frame by frame the wrist actually looks the same at contact point and shortly after. Do I missunderstand something here? 2. Some of the tennis instructers say that the most important aspect for generating spin is the upturning motion of the raquet. You say that a closed angle of the raquet is most important. Is the truth here that both things should be combined? I would be very thankfull for an answer :)

One of the areas that drives me crazy about most traditional tennis instruction is the "brushing" aspect of topspin that they recite. If you haven't seen my video about topspin, I'd recommend checking it out here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g4Noq7GtnK7Tfaw.html Basically, we know that spin is the result of an off the center of mass strike, not some zelcro like grabbing and turning of the ball. The "brush" that most instructors teach is just a low thought way to get a student to strike the ball at a steep angle to the swing path. Another video that helps really show the relation of the face to the path and how that actually creates spin is this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nplp1aulipCpqag.html As for the wrist extension, I have found for most players that this helps release the energy into the ball and helps move the racquet in a way to create a leverage system for easier power. It also helps most players close the racquet face the necessary amount. If you haven't checked out most of my videos in the Hammer It Method playlist kzread.info/head/PL4EFDvXAXAhtmwxf1T8fRGm21mrleT4-L&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE, I would check those out, as the swing isn't just one magic concept that can be viewed in a vacuum, but rather a series of events and concepts that work together to form one cohesive machine. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks for the tips coach. I am one of those guys that pull back on my follow through, rather than release it, like you mentioned, that we should. As a consequence, I have on more than one occasion hit myself with the racquet, up around the eye brow. Question , to ensure that my elbow is inside my torso prior to the hit, do you suggest that I keep my elbow pretty close to the side of the body on the take back. Thanks again for the excellent instruction on your hammer tennis instruction.

Not really sure your visual of hammering the net with racquet was beneficial. The forehand should not nearly have that much elbow action.

Elbow extension during the shot will help the racquet move out from the inside.

Wait wait wait this is totally wrong.. Never seen a tennis player hit the ball with the elbow that close to the body. Only the beginnners....
