Very good. I'm a visual learner and I find the play-by-play helps break it down and communicate what your teaching. The before and after demos are great too.
The best explanations I've ever heard and seen. So clear, simple, and visual. Adding slow motions episodes makes videos even more valuable! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Hi Simon - really liked this. Great to see you working with the "regular" tennis player and how you break the lesson down into simple steps. We can all take homework from this. Let's have more please!
A very clear, helpful video from an enthusiatic & excellent teacher.I only wish his instruction advice was available 65 years ago when I started playing tennis.You tube viewers are fotunate to see these videos & have vital lessons from these keen & great coaches.
It's so true mate. I've gone from having no forehand to relatively being able to crush them just from sitting and analysing all the mistakes I made with my swing on a few really good training videos just like this one. It makes a massive difference.
The reason the fella is holding on to racquet with his left hand, on the preparation phase, is because we have YT coaches teaching this type of stuff. Second his footwork is off, third his racquet face isn’t dropping underneath the ball, and he is hitting flat like Connors, which isn’t working because he is holding his racquet with an Eastern grip, and you are doing a excellent job fixing that problem. You are a great teacher my friend.
Good video. As always. Would love one for the backhand as well. Usually I know what to do but always forget when I'm playing a match. Unit turn quickly for example. I do it for a couple of games and then my mind is gone.
Normally in a match, you don't want to think about technique, It should already be a habit before you play the match. That's where training comes in. If you think about technique in the match you won't be focused on strategy and figuring out how to defeat your opponent.
This guy is very lucky to be trained by a proper coach... Meanwhile, I can only watch video and try to visualise it by myself. Yes, I want to see more videos like this...
Wow! This is the most detailed and educational tennis training video I have ever seen! The way you’ve paid such close attention to his movements and gone over literally everything is incredible! So helpful!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial yeah, I’d be really interested in a lesson on back hand, particularly the two handed but open to both. Also serving as Thats an area I know many people struggle with. Oh, and controlling the direction the ball goes with hitting with any swing.
Great video. This had a summary of all the issues I currently have with my FH. Late release of the left hand, not using body weight etc. Thanks for the great tips.
Hi Simon, a much needed lesson for me. I'm doing all the mistakes mentioned. I will try your advice now. Thanks sooo much. All your videos are good. Thanks for your time and sharing your expertise. It is amazing that you have replied to all the comments.
This video feels like it was made for me. These are the exact mistakes that I make on my forehand. I can't wait to use these drills and perfect my forehand. Thanks
Awesome video, and a great follow up to your main forehand video. I couldn't figure out why I'm always late against fast shots, but now I realize I've definitely been holding my left hand on the racquet too long!
Awesome video Simon! Love this format! Would love to see high forehands in this same format, as I struggle to drive the ball when it is shoulder height or above. Keep up the good work!
Even more helpful than your already very helpful series. Watching you breakdown a “normal” peer helps me more than just watching you pros demonstrate various techniques. Showing the progression of drills is also very informative.
This lesson is very useful! Since a couple of year I lost the confidence in my forehand. I hope to find the right way even studying some good video as this one. Congrats!
Wow, thanks so much for these videos and your coaching Simon! I started playing last summer and while I've found some great starter forehand form videos I'm at the point now of finding incredible inconsistencies and not knowing what I'm doing wrong. This and your forehand crash course materials are exactly what I need, a checklist of cues for each part of the swing! Thanks a ton, look forward to getting some reps in asap
Great advice Simon! A common mistake on the forehand: late contact even though early and quick preparation. Caused by late release with the non-hitting hand. And by the way: smart exercises to fix some more „forehand bugs“ Thanks for this lesson and all the best to TTT Jörg
Fantastic channel and very sound technical advice. I have been playing tennis for over 14 years now, on and off and I'm finding so many gems of advice on the channel. Loving the connection to the pros, the fundamental physics and how we can break down the strokes to their moving parts, it makes so much more sense when we look at them in the way that you suggest. Would be lovely to take a lesson once I'm in the UK. All the best to your channel, and hopefully many more people around the world can learn from sound advice, maybe providing it in different languages in the future, in collaboration with like minded coaches across the globe 😉 Big Big Thank you 🙏🔥🍀
Thank you for watching We would love to do more lessons like this, but we've been so restricted in 2020 with the lockdowns etc Hopefully the situation improves in 2021 All the best Simon
This is amazing video helps me a lot! I have been playing tennis for 3 years in Melbourn as a recreational tennis player. However it is always hard to me to hit a forehand properly. Luckily I found out this video and it helped me to improve my forehand skill dramatically. This concept of video was even not needed a lot of drills or efforts. I had a hit with this concept at the club last Saturday and many people told me that my forehand skill is so much improved suddenly. Thank you for updating this video and I look forward to watching your new video clips.
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial thx for the video but taking the racket back that early and waiting at the back is old school tennis...The swing is more efficient when it has a continuous motion at the back....therefore holding longer with left hand is a better way....you lose power and rhythm when the racket stops at the back...as u see in your same videos with the pros,the racket doesn't stop in the power position as u would like to call it.....With proper timing and footwork u still can meet the ball early infront holding longer eith the non hitting hand....Berdych is probably the only famous player that does what you are teaching.
Great Video, very interesting to watch! I will try to do some of this on the court as well as I have big problems with my forehand. I am not confident in hitting the forehand and going through the ball. Maybe I am the only Player who is always playing the (One-handed)backhand inside out as I am trying to avoid as many forehands as possible. More Videos would be fantastic! Thanks!
Hi Simon , fantastic video , I am guilty of holding off the racquet with my non hitting hand too much and didn't notice it until now (basically overturning which make my shoulders tense ,thus unable to have a loose arm/wrist ) , however , after reviewing old footage of myself playing , I noticed that I didn't have that flaw , but suddenly began to do it (overturning), it coincided with a very stressful period of my life when I felt my body tense up completely ( not only while playing Tennis) , it would be great if you made a video about Stress / bad sleep etc... and it's impact on your tennis , Thanks :)
Thanks for this forehand drill... I was doing this all wrong and was not consistent, plus the way I played actually hurt the left side of my hip because I wasn’t fully rotating, I plant my feet in the same position while rotating, I blamed the pain on my weight. This is so helpful...thanks for sharing this knowledge.
Great video, super coaching. Towards the end around 10 minutes, he isn't dropping the racket head, but that all comes with practice of the same motions. Good job!

Top Tennis Training - Pro Tennis Lessons so far all the lessons I have found in your channel helped me a lot, but if there are any I would specifically want to learn I will let you know. I’m so glad I found your channel!
Superb content. This is the kind of video that needed for most of the people who are watching your videos. We felt connected as you so case study. Thanks Simon. More please.
Hi Simon, thank you for this great Video. 09:20 " The upper body goes first" . Pleas correct me if i´m wrong, but isn´t it like that: movement from the feet to the tip of the racket? I think you have to release your hips BEFORE your upper body, to keep the kinetic chain maintained? Please feel free to correct me :)
Hi Benjamin Normally yes, that is the sequence, the hips open up along with the shoulders uncoiling and the racket follows. However, with this chap, he was opening up too early with his shoulders and hips and his racket would drag behind and he'd contact the ball late so I wanted him to feel the shoulders uncoiling first along with the racket so he could separate the upper body from the lower. But in general, you're 100% correct. Thanks for watching. Are there any videos you'd like to see from us in the near future? Simon
So when you have to run to the ball, is it best to have your racquet in the three o clock position before planting to swing or should you plant, turn, and swing?
You want to be ready to hit the shot as early as possible, on the run that means preparing the racket on the way to the ball. You simply wouldn't have to time to run, turn and then hit. The turn actually makes it easier for you to run because your body is then side on so you can use normal running steps.
Great tips.Keep going Simon.Great to watch you.Your explaining is so understandable.Learning a lot from your videos.Love watching your videos.Thank you very much…
Kyrgios forehand is more complex than Federer FH. Federer FH more efficient. The loop is bigger the higher the elbow and more elbow bend. Timing is more critical. Which is why Federer has changed his FH over the years. Kafelnikov and Kyrgios have similarities. I’d look to Fed if you have Eastern or close to Eastern grip(composite). And then I’d look to Djokovic if you have semi western.
This video is well demonstrated & explained. Thank you very much for this video Simon. I have been struggling with knowing when to let go off my racket when I rotate my body on the forehand side.
Excellent teaching on the forehand power source. I am a NTRP 4.0 with the goal of achieving 4.5 computer ranking within 1.5 years. I struggle with the same issue and in addition I often hit the ball too late in the contact zone. I am working with a teaching pro to fix this. I would love to have the opportunity to have a private lesson with you guys when you are in the states. The forehand is the area of my game that needs the most help and I would really like to see more video instruction by you on this and similar common problem areas that are central to 4.0 - 4.5 players. Thanks for your generosity and all that you guys do for the avid tennis player like myself!
We've cover playing in windy conditions in our Tactics Blueprint course. In general, it's all about being more intense with your feet, making sure your footwork is on point and you never set up too early. All the best Simon
I am self taught and pretty decent to hit against for a great workout but I have NO game. Can’t serve and can’t afford lessons but would like to become an actual good player. Maybe a suggestion on what to work on first to get to the next level.
You need to be able to hit with all stances, each ball requires a different stance and set up. Open is great for wider balls, neutral stance for midcourt balls you want to attack. Thanks for watching All the best Simon
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Absolutely! I coach middle school and it's awesome. I have many players who just don't toss the ball high enough on the service and "short arm" the ball (they don't hit it at the apex). Any tips on how to increase the likelihood of them making contact at the right height? Thinking about a very long fishing pole and tying the ball to the end so I can simulate the right height :)
We also worked on his eyes tracking the ball better in-depth in our lessons. Thank you for watching. Are there any videos you'd like to see from us in the near future? All the best Simon
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial about 1 week later... this video has really clicked for me. I have fixed problems because of it: early prep in that active posture, now initiating my swing where I used to start my unit turn, and finally, because of your 'faster' comment you tell him, I focus on that and relaxed wrist to try and get more spin. Thanks again.

09:20 " The upper body goes first" . Pleas correct me if i´m wrong, but isn´t it like that: movement from the feet to the tip of the racket?
I think you have to release your hips BEFORE your upper body, to keep the kinetic chain maintained? Please feel free to correct me :)
Hi Benjamin
Normally yes, that is the sequence, the hips open up along with the shoulders uncoiling and the racket follows. However, with this chap, he was opening up too early with his shoulders and hips and his racket would drag behind and he'd contact the ball late so I wanted him to feel the shoulders uncoiling first along with the racket so he could separate the upper body from the lower.
But in general, you're 100% correct.
Thanks for watching.
Are there any videos you'd like to see from us in the near future?

Your explaining techniques are great . Thanks
Many thanks for the support 🙏
So when you have to run to the ball, is it best to have your racquet in the three o clock position before planting to swing or should you plant, turn, and swing?
You want to be ready to hit the shot as early as possible, on the run that means preparing the racket on the way to the ball.
You simply wouldn't have to time to run, turn and then hit.
The turn actually makes it easier for you to run because your body is then side on so you can use normal running steps.
Great tips.Keep going Simon.Great to watch you.Your explaining is so understandable.Learning a lot from your videos.Love watching your videos.Thank you very much…

What do you think about the FH of kyrgios Edmund etc should you teach this to some students because the game is getting faster?
We have a video on those two players forehands, coming out soon.
Look out for it
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Oh sweet.
Kyrgios forehand is more complex than Federer FH. Federer FH more efficient. The loop is bigger the higher the elbow and more elbow bend. Timing is more critical. Which is why Federer has changed his FH over the years. Kafelnikov and Kyrgios have similarities. I’d look to Fed if you have Eastern or close to Eastern grip(composite). And then I’d look to Djokovic if you have semi western.
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial thanks!
This video is well demonstrated & explained. Thank you very much for this video Simon. I have been struggling with knowing when to let go off my racket when I rotate my body on the forehand side.
Good luck with the improvements Dwayne 👍

matt crichton I agree, I lose a lot of matches just because I’m not mentally prepared
Dunder Mifflin eat a banana, say to yourself that ure the man 100 times
Excellent teaching on the forehand power source. I am a NTRP 4.0 with the goal of achieving 4.5 computer ranking within 1.5 years. I struggle with the same issue and in addition I often hit the ball too late in the contact zone. I am working with a teaching pro to fix this. I would love to have the opportunity to have a private lesson with you guys when you are in the states. The forehand is the area of my game that needs the most help and I would really like to see more video instruction by you on this and similar common problem areas that are central to 4.0 - 4.5 players. Thanks for your generosity and all that you guys do for the avid tennis player like myself!
Thank you 🙂

Can we have a video on playing in the messed up wind 20-25 mph avg omg so exhausting. Lol
We've cover playing in windy conditions in our Tactics Blueprint course.
In general, it's all about being more intense with your feet, making sure your footwork is on point and you never set up too early.

Have your coach aim a leaf blower at you during the practice session.
Great stuff. Attention to detail. Clear direction. Can’t wait to try these drills. Thank you so much from New York.

I am self taught and pretty decent to hit against for a great workout but I have NO game. Can’t serve and can’t afford lessons but would like to become an actual good player. Maybe a suggestion on what to work on first to get to the next level.
He's leaning over and opens/moves his hips before he hits the ball. Keep the hips still until you hit the ball and then follow through.
👍
Really well done and explained. Much appreciated

Quick question
Your forehead form seems to base more on open stand while your student more of shoulder turn and angular, which do you recommend?
You need to be able to hit with all stances, each ball requires a different stance and set up.
Open is great for wider balls, neutral stance for midcourt balls you want to attack.
Thanks for watching

Very well done and easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful!

Drop the racquet head purposefully lower to the ground. This forces the player to let go much sooner.
Thanks for watching.

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Absolutely! I coach middle school and it's awesome. I have many players who just don't toss the ball high enough on the service and "short arm" the ball (they don't hit it at the apex). Any tips on how to increase the likelihood of them making contact at the right height? Thinking about a very long fishing pole and tying the ball to the end so I can simulate the right height :)
Love the videos! Very clear and great instructions. Keep it going!
Thank you for watching 👍

You can micro analyze all day his major problem is his head is moving as me makes contact vs staring at ball longer
We also worked on his eyes tracking the ball better in-depth in our lessons.

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial about 1 week later... this video has really clicked for me. I have fixed problems because of it: early prep in that active posture, now initiating my swing where I used to start my unit turn, and finally, because of your 'faster' comment you tell him, I focus on that and relaxed wrist to try and get more spin. Thanks again.
Not only he's late but he doesn't engage his hip rotation & push with his legs
That's correct, exactly why I wanted him to use the neutral stance to help him feel the rotation of the body.
Thanks for watching
All the best

I learned something too, will practice it on the court tomorrow.
Happy to hear that 👍
2:50 the crow steel the ball hahahaha.
Don't worry about him, that's my pet bird.
He guards the court while I film
