i have this lasso or fly-fishing analogy in mind when it comes to extension before the swing. You have to throw your hand backwards a little before going forwards to keep "the rope" in tension.
That's a good analogy!
Thanks for this and being honest how you slow even your attempts go. Good spot to see the similarities in how the drop pull is intuited between Sinner and Djokovic. It definitely has a resemblance. I have studied Sinners forehand for hours. I have implemented changes to my forehand and when I do get it right (which is not often) it feels amazing. Even my hitting partner commented that there was few shots I hit that was on another level of pace. He even said the hit had a different sound. But it's super hard to get it right often which is very frustrating. Richard have a look at how far back Sinners arm goes, almost straight, before he starts the intentional forward motion. In my studying it looks to me like that almost gives him a longer "runway" to build up speed and the extra timing. His arm goes back into the slot position then his elbow and wrist does an internal rotation getting it into a position at the beginning of the forward motion. That part is exactly like Djokovic, that rotation and position. Then to me it looks like it resembles a throw drive more like baseball or just when one would throw a stone when one typically takes a step before the throw and the arm pulls in very fast, intentionally. If you see how far back his racket is as he starts to step and pull. But I dont know if thats just me. :) Here are some vids I watched. the first has a good angle on that what is discussed. th-cam.com/video/F18VBTKIUro/w-d-xo.html then this one on his spacing as an extra th-cam.com/video/FLsTN91h0t8/w-d-xo.html
I agree with your thoughts 😀
i noticed it about Djokovic a long time ago, but for some reason I'd never actually tried to implement it. Most likely because I was happy with my right handed forehand as it was. And since playing left handed it was the least of my worries. 😂
But now I'm working on timing with the left I thought I'd give it a try and was pleasantly surprised by how it felt. With the pre racket drop like Sinner & Djok, the swing initiation has to be even earlier than the already early timing for a regular ATP style forehand.
@ ok good to know. I will try swinging earlier was well. I found holding my racket more like Sinner at the back is harder because you have to raket lag even more to get it around, but when that is timed right it feels really good. His racket position there forces more speed to be used. To very slow progressions! Haha
Yes, i definitely would say it’s appropriate for everyone.
If someone already had really late timing, then i mt wouldn’t be the thing i would suggest.
It wasn’t something i’d planned on changing because i was happy with the direction my forehand was going.
But i was so pleasantly surprised by contact it game me, i’m going to keep playing with it.
Keep your head down watch the ball onto the raquet 2:32
Sinner lifts his head a lot of the time 🤭
@TennisHacker Lots of upward leg drive for added power & topspin
Thank you for you advice. I already get a lot of topspin on my forehand. In this video i was talking about a tweak i started working on 😀
Cheers for yours too. Helps alot@@TennisHacker
@@TennisHackercheers for yours too. Helps a lot😊
Interesting! I'll try it myself tomorrow.
See how you get on. Just make sure there are no major limiters happening prior to the swing initiation.
@@TennisHacker Wow... You were right in your video, it really makes a difference. I'm at a very early stage now (I recorded myself, it looked even less impressive than your first attempts), but I clearly see that it is a step in the right direction.
first bend those knees, hold the racket longer by the trout with non hitting hand when inverting racket head taking the racket back in loose but long way. then throw the racket to the one o clock position leading with the elbow, while pusching of of backfoot ...i think...
Sounds simple 😂
@@TennisHacker i hope you agree
You still seem a little stiff with you upper body and arm in the racquet drop and pulling phase. Seems that you are still off balance when you start moving your racquet (upper body not anchored by legs) so you start will less control of your swing.
It’s very difficult to push into the ground in order to move and find balance because mentally we do not think it effects the control of your arm on the swing path but it is literally why Sinner’s ball striking is next level. His leg initiated balance and intentionality when training gives him that awareness and consistency, maybe skiing training that in him too
If we compare me to Sinner or any world class player, then yes I'm most definitely stiff! 😂
With that said, I'm learning to play left handed and even if I was playing with my natural hand, this is the 2nd time I've worked on a timing change. So you can't expect it to look smooth and flowing. That's part of the learning process.
@ I agree and I apologize if it came off as negatively criticizing! You definitely look like you are making the right changes and I can see it in what you are saying, and am aware you know this! It was me blabbing on far too much as I’m exclaiming my thoughts on a public forum. I apologize.
P.S. You are better than me switching from righty to lefty! I’d probably end up swinging in reverse! 😅
Haha all good, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 😀
