Working with one older student on changing to the modern forehand. Will add in feeling the weight of the racket through contact along with emphasizing the shoulder movement on the windshield wiper finish. Always learn a new concept to think about in all your videos. Great job. Thanks

Excellent video John! Stressing internal shoulder rotation ISR and low grip pressure and hand position is critical to clarifying the main elements and how the modern pro level FH works and should feel to help players break bad habits and acquire/develop the correct mechanics.

Thank you. First time I’ve come across one of your videos. Really informative and has clarified some things I’m trying to work on. My naughty forehand has a habit of going long so have been trying to add more top; think I’ve been doing that wrong. Going to concentrate on racket head lower with a looser grip. Thanks again!!

Performance Plus Tennis Definitely more top spin. I think because the racket is coming from lower. Allowing me to hit with a bit more power because the top is keeping it in. Thanks.

Great tip to avoid wrist snap, but wish the were a timeline for a grip squeeze pressure along the lag and release path.

@PerformancePlusTennis

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment. There is no time line for grip squeeze pressure in the swing. Best to maintain the light tension to feel the racquet head and achieve a fluid swing.

Hello. For the arm extension, can we consider that Federer is doing a follow through as he's alreay extented at contact ? There's no more extension to do for him after contact.

@tennislessonsreview8350

JP J Hi JP, what a great question! No doubt that Fed’s contact point is quite forward...probably more in front than most who use the Eastern grip. And you are right...there isn’t much range left for Fed to extend beyond contact. So here’s how I see it: The INTENT to extend as you come into contact is more important than the extension itself, as the ball is already gone. The same with the follow through. The follow through itself does not effect the ball...it is the intent to follow through before contact that produces power and control. I hope this helps and makes sense. Thanks, John

great video master. I want to say that I can get successful results when I throw the ball by hand but I'm having trouble when the ball comes out of my control.what kind of training can you suggest for this issue?thank you already sir.

For topspin where do you hit the ball, at 6 O clock or top of the ball?

@PerformancePlusTennis

Жыл бұрын

Hi Praveen, Thanks for your great question. Contact the ball on the center dial for most forehands. Never 6 o'clock and only over the top when you are inside the service line and the ball is shoulder high. Best, John

Does the rotation of the shoulder happen during the extension? Otherwise shoulder seems to be just pivoting while hitting low to high (racquet head).

@niravdesai7

During racket extension the forearm comes into play along with shoulder rotation?

@PerformancePlusTennis

6 ай бұрын

Long axis rotation from the shoulder creates / causes the racket to move from low to high before , into and after contact. I hope this makes sense. Best, John @@niravdesai7

Stopped your video and had to comment and then I’ll finish it. Maybe the entire hand shouldn’t be spread over a large part of the handle, but I’ve repeatedly been taught that the trigger finger should be spread away from the rest of the hand.

@PerformancePlusTennis

Hi Dave, Thanks for your comment and feedback. I agree a slight separation of the index finger is both common and correct. The rest of the hand should feel smaller (compact) on the handle to facilitate a relaxed hand and increased feel of the racquet head. There are more details about how the hand should feel on the handle as well. Kindly, John

Thank you.
