  I think 'wrist lag' is due to flicking and accelerating with the wrist first before any large muscle. It should be in the same axis of your wrist you would use to wave at someone, it shouldn't be in the axis you would use to pin someone in an arm wrestle. It's not much different than throwing rocks across a pond or slinging a whip or something. Look at table tennis, the motion looks a bit more obvious, and it should feel more like you're throwing a pokercard instead of slinging a whip (because of the lack of weight in a table racket). Federer I think is the best example of how to do it naturally. It's about the same imo between Federer and a Table Tennis player, it's just you don't have an ATP forehand takeback in that sport. This entire concept is the part of a forehand that generates spin, and maybe a little bit more torque to send the ball without letting it fly up into the air. It can still fail though because I've hit some into the net, I guess it just takes a whole lot of practice to make it a reflex in a modern forehand and high\low hits complicate matters a little bit because it's hard to get the swing path right without opening or closing the racket head.

  Tomaz, I know what you’re talking about. Once I was playing with a really good player who was helping me a lot. He said, “I know you see professionals jump slightly when they hit the ball on their groundstrokes, but don’t do that. Within the last couple years I have realized that sometimes I have to jump in order to give the proper trajectory for the ball. The game is very much about feel, hence the name Feel Tennis I suppose.

  This is the exact ability I am interested in! I was hitting with some people and they had this. I tried to find the answer and wasn’t successful. You have once again found the secret sauce and are sharing it with us. I can’t wait for your additional instruction of how to hit the heavy ball. I know now that mine are too slow and flat!!

  The term used to have a different meaning. Don Budge, Jack Kramer and Ken Rosewall were all said to hit a "heavy ball" and all three hit very flat. But all three used a very heavy racket and/or frequently took the ball on the rise. I think their balls were called heavy because opponents were always surprised by the momentum produced by their smooth, graceful, measured swings (as contrasted with "slashers" such as Rod Laver, Arthur Ashe and John Newcomb who used light rackets and visibly appeared to be taking big, hard swings at the ball).

  ok can i add my take on this, A flatter shot hit with the same effort as a top spin shot will move quicker therefore using basic theory of physics the faster an object is moving its mass increases, spin will actually slow the ball down, therefore all things being equal a flatter ball will be heavier surely! I play flat, and play many players who hit with spin, what i find is if i hit a big ball they are troubled and they tend to return with a shorter ball for me to bang away! Now the only problem with my style is margin for error! Flatter shots are lower % however if you can play consistently in my opinion they are far more effective especially if the ball stays low and heavy making it hard for top spinners to hit up and over the ball!

• 
  @feeltennis2 күн бұрын

  Flatter faster balls do not feel "heavy". If one has good timing they are very easy to handle because you use opponent's energy to bounce the ball back. That's what you can see in experiment #2 at 2:42 where you will see Kaja having no problems with my fast and low balls (if she is positioned well - which she will be 70% of the time). If you can attack opponent's topspin balls, then that's what I show in experiment #1, lots of spin and not enough speed, easy ball for a good player. Your opponents obviously cannot hit a heavy ball, they just hit with a lot of topspin and that does not make the ball heavy - hence the experiments to show you that. A heavy ball is the safest ball with which you also apply pressure but it is of course difficult to hit and requires a lot of effort and that drains energy fast. Recreational tennis players in most cases cannot sustain that even if they have good technique. I know how to hit a heavy ball but I could not sustain that in a 2 hour match after I was older than 35 years. ;) One has to become much more energy efficient as we age and therefore you will not see many heavy balls at senior rec level - even if the player has the skill to pull it off. I would just use it here and there to vary my game or to expose a weakness like a poor high backhand of my opponent off which I would get a short ball.

  would you say Federer hit a heavy forehand ?

• 
  @feeltennis2 күн бұрын

  He could hit it when needed, especially when he played on clay courts. But "by default" he played lower faster balls, of course still with a lot of topspin, but not with a lot of height like Nadal. So the ball was fast but that does not really feel "heavy" as does the ball that is coming at you rising rapidly off the ground like Nadal's forehands do.

  I watched a slow motion video of a bunch of atp players serving after watching this to compare. Every single one of them had the pronation motion. I think this is the piece of the puzzle I was missing for my serve motion. The only difference between this motion and the pros is the trophy position is just a frame of the serve. The acceleration of the motion has already started by then but thats exactly as you say. This is perfect for learning the specific steps to a complex fluid motion. Put it all together and practice and it starts to look really good. I'm excited to get out and practice first thing tomorrow!

  Tomaz your explanation has helped me make real progress in keeping my head still. I listened several time to your session and finally got my brain to start doing it on the court. But here is an added benefit that I didn’t expect. By keeping my head still I see my stroke and can tell why it worked, or not. Today I hit several balls into the net and could tell that I was not dropping the racket far enough below the ball. In the past I would not know that because I would look up too soon. Thanks again for your help.

  What is your stance on grip sizes for a more wrist action. Smaller the looser the wrist, more wrist action?

• 
  @feeltennis2 күн бұрын

  Yes, smaller the grip size, the more free will the wrist feel and move but that also means less racket head stability at contact. So eventually it comes down to personal preference ...

  in practice, I often hit deep, low, fast balls with top spin. They are moderately safe and clear the net by 2-3 ft, however, bounce is nearly 3ft too (50% bounce ratio for tennis balls).

  I achieved both understanding and muscle memory of pronation in tennis just a couple of weeks ago. I’ve known about the definition for more than a decade, but only got the feeling this month. And it feels wonderful. I would describe the result of pronation as force that drives the ball forward into the service box. In nerdy terms, it’s the component of the hitting force perpendicular to the racket face and pointing towards the service box. As all serves needs to go to the service box, then any serve (using Continental grip as Tomaz said) must have this result that was caused by pronation. I further consider pronation to result in a a position of strength and stability for the arm as the racket hits the ball. In simpler terms, pronation gives you the “slapping” action on the ball. The spin and kick comes from the grazing action. The proportion between the slapping and grazing actions determines the type of serve (flat, kick, slice)

  what about straight vs bent for backhand?

• 
  @feeltennis4 күн бұрын

  You mean one-handed backhand? In the preparation, yes, there are two schools, the Spanish school teaches the straight arm (Robredo, Almagro, also Thiem), the rest are teaching bent arm (Federer, Wawrinka, Tsitsipas), both are obviously good for backhands, it depends on the feel of the player. When you start teaching a beginner or intermediate, you get less problems with teaching a straight arm one-handed backhand. It is also easy to evolve to bent-arm later on, whereas teaching bent arm from the start tends to produce more problems...

  Interesting. I have an eastern grip and a more flat type of stroke, like Del Potro or Federer, and I often hit with top spin players. They have more difficulty returning my deep balls then I have with theirs. All I have to do is back up few feet and hit the ball at hips level. Since a top spin ball is usually travelling horizontally slower than a flat ball, I have more time getting to the ball. It’s once it bounces up that the ball is faster. It’s a timing adjustment. But with more flat balls, they have less time to move around to the ball and they can’t be too far from the baseline because the ball will be too low to hit with good pace with top spin. But that’s is for 4.5/5 level players. I guess better players have a different reality.
