Hey Grant, I am a frequent follower of your videos but this one in particular really triggered my game. To divide the forehand shot in 3 phases and really bring in the body (instead of the arm) was really helpful and todays practice again showed immediate results. Thank you !!! It would be great to see a similar video for the one-handed backhand...

“You’ll be able to unlock massive power and force” balls goes way out. Yeah I’m good

Thankyou, very easy to follow the instructions

I love it, ❤️ thank you

Awesome points

Как всегда всё ёмко и доступно. Благодарю за видео! As always, everything is succinct and accessible. Thank you for the video!

Ur the best keep it up 🤠

nice advice, but I think that most players who did not learn proper technique when they were kids struggle more with timing than with form. "In theory" we all know what the proper technique would be, and we are even quite good when fed slow balls from one meter... the real problem is with TIMING and DISTANCE with "real life balls" .... we are usually either too close to the ball or late at contact I think the best value would be some ideas and drills to help resolve those problems...

I agree although i think most still suffer from improper technique as well. When u look at tennis ball as a beginner, u would think the ball would fly far away if u hit high. So most beginners swing the racket parallel to ground just to hit the ball into the net. Then they try to hit it high, then it flies miles. That is not timing or distance but the lack of technique. But once u know proper technique, the timing and the distance become big issues. But again, most amateurs dont even know proper technique from my experience

@@ak-iy4yb yes , hard core amateurs do have proper technique problems, as tennis is so amazingly counter-intuitive... at time you have to swing at the opposite direction to make the ball go where you want.. like in the serve.. But a lot of amateur do take lessons and have a theoretical idea of the proper technique but still cannot apply it do to timing and distance. The check is: feed them slow balls by hand and see if they still mess up or can it that decently. I saw a great video from FeelTennis when the instructor did a very smart and useful thing.. he was standing there with a ball in his hand and saying to the student: imagine this ball is coming at you, how do you hit with a backhand? And the guy positioned himself in a completely wrong spot, too close to the ball and on its side instead of behind it.. This happens exactly because most of the teaching is about technique in an isolated/abstract way, and very little is done about distance and position relative to the ball. Those who learn when they are kid learn it unconsciously , ( and that is why they are not able to teach it..) adult learner struggle much more.

Доходчиво и позитивно👍👍 спасибо!

Your videos are awesome, there used to be a guy that taught the way you do at top speed tennis, Clay Ballard, I don't know what he is doing but he helped me rebuild my game learning modern technique that transformed my game. Now I am able to teach and model modern tennis technique.

Straight vs bent arm is just individual preference - look at massive forehand power bent arm players like Basilashvili, Sinner, Ruud, Thiem (prime) etc

Sure, including Stan Wawrinka - however, an article was produced some time ago when Federer and Nadal had accumulated the most GrandSlam combined titles than any other two players; the article went on to describe a common feature that both Fed + Nadal executed on their forehands - video analysis of their technique showed racquet/arm extension on ball contact. This bio-mechanical feature is of interest to coaches who teach the game rather than picking on characteristics that might be common among other players who use a bent arm contact without extension, including on follow-through wrap-around. Many tennis tutorials feature the forearm extension - video analysis confirms that this is used by a number of top professional players and enhances the quality of ball contact. Even beginner players should be made aware of it. Federer Vision Technique by Mark Papas is also an interesting article - while many pro players have excellent ball judgment and look ahead while making racquet-ball contact, video analysis shows how Federer keeps his head still and turned towards the back of the racquet as if viewing the contact from behind - although a unique feature of how Federer watches the ball, the principle is important to coaches who teach the game, even if other players don't emulate Federer's technique the same way or to the same extent. 1% difference separates the world's best players from the top 3 to the next 10 and the next 50 and the following 100 ..

Can you break down Andrew Rublev forehand?

I can't agree with you enough. The leg and hip movements are central to the forehand as well as activating your core muscles. Good video.

I cannot have my arm extended when I am going to hit the ball. I would like to know how to have my arm extended.

Chloe technique is so good I wonder why she isn't on the wta tour

love ur vids. just wanted to say. u (and the examples given) have a straight arm contact point. I dont. I noticed people seem to just teach THEIR forehand. can u comment on this?

@grant , the problem i am facing is that my body is going "back" when i am hitting forehands when in the same time my one handed backhand is strong and dont have same problem .. can you give any tips for stop doing that ?

You might be late to the ball. When the ball bounces you must be ready to hit. So try to do your takeaway earlier, and think about finishing with your backfoot forward after finishing the stroke - this will help with the weight momentum forward.

Really great insights Grant. Most helpful!

How? All were wrong

Does this mean you cannot fully deploy lever 2 and lever 3 in the same shot? Presumably you can't do a full rotation at the hips while dragging your back foot.

exactly, he is giving 2 things that conflict with 2nd lever and none of it is explained correctly.

She’s not really bending her elbow on her back swing like you encourage in other videos. But you like the forehand still. Is the bend not that important then?

@@juanmontes6701 I also think his videos are really good and I appreciate his instructional approach. I will say again though, Grant, as one coach to another, I'd strongly recommend just slowing everything down and taking just a bit of the over enthusiasm out of it (I can't help but feel like you're going to pop a cork) and at least reduce the number of times you don't say world class athletes quite as often (maybe not at all) as it will add a lot to the professional quality of your videos. All the best.

Dude. You are making okay tennis videos, but you are talking like an annoying entrepreneur TedTalk-er, who became a millionaire through a loan from their dad, but are claiming they started "from the ground up".
