Here's how to hit your forehand with dramatically more smoothness: th-cam.com/video/guaiNrtW4kU/w-d-xo.html
Ian, your new series is soooo great! When 4 monts ago you said you were going to reinvent your channel, I was afraid you had run out of steam and you were going to attempt some desperate moves, but I'm glad to see that you only changed the gear and accelerated forward. Your new videos are on a much higher level than those from the past. They are carefully written, planned in high detail, shot and edited with a high degree of proffesionalism. And most importantly: the content is interesting, you describe the technique in a very clear manner, you also touch subjects that others ignore (I especially loved the two videos directly after "Starting over..."). Hats off!
Really appreciate that, Asperatus. Honestly, I did run out of steam for a while. I've been through a few really tough and frustrating years, but now I feel ready to get back into the arena again and do the best work I can. Glad it's appreciated.
That Rafa shot is great. Braden use to say the best contact is a couple inches above contact then the ball leaves from the middle. VERY important video.
Ian is so good at teaching! ❤
Appreciate the kind words 🙏
Wow great video. It really got me thinking that topspin is kinda reverse slice. Which really helped me as I am good at putting a lot of spin on my slice.
Yup, you're exactly right. Thanks for watching.
This was a really great video with detailed explanations. Thanks Ian
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! I never understood exactly what top spin means, but your explanation is great! You’re an awesome teacher!🎾❣️
You nailed it!
The face sends it,
the path bends it! Did you come up with this phrase?
Great video and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Excellent Video!
Thank you very much!
The phrase "face sends, the path bends it" is little misleading. The ball actually starts out somewhere in between the face angle and the path angle. As you hit the ball thinner and thinner, the gear effect / friction starts to contribute more and more to the ball's flight. For example, you can see some examples with a lot of top-spin, e.g. th-cam.com/video/F83i1uLoF3Q/w-d-xo.html where the racket is pointed slightly down. What is true is that spin is a result of the difference between the face angle and the path angle. Similarly on the serve with a lot of spin, the racket path has a large effect on the initial path. You can try it yourself by the cutting the block very thin with a slice serve, the ball doesn't just rocket sideways, but rather starts more towards the path of the racket.
Oh man that shot where his racquet flips looked painful haha
"Brush!" "Brush!" LOL!
All about physics and vectors.
💯
I guess I'd be curious how much of a factor the type of grip you use plays into top spin generation. That wasn't discussed in this video. If I normally use continental grip, which isn't considered great for generating top spin, would you recommend switching grips or is it achievable/useful to just try to incorporate a bit of top spin in spite of using a continental grip?
The function of a more aggressive grip is to make it easier to keep the racquet face closed while swinging upward more aggressively. Switching from continental to eastern or semi-western doesn't "make more topspin" on its own.....you still have to learn how to drop the racquet lower below contact and accelerate upwards more steeply. If I was working with somebody hitting forehands with a true continental grip (can't remember the last time I saw that) and they wanted to work on creating more topspin I would probably recommend at least a slight grip change, yes.
@@EssentialTennis Ayyy, got a response! Thanks for the technical explanations, and all you do to clear up the common misconceptions in tennis! You were right to call out that I was a bit mistaken in that I actually have more of a semi western grip, not continental. It sounds like swing path is king, rather than the grip or even the strings used on the racquet, I'd imagine. Thanks again!
PATH = SPIN! Without path grip and strings will do you no good at all. Thanks for watching and supporting my coaching, Paul.
Yeah, it's so funny. When you stop trying to flip the racquet over and just swing out with your whole body and arm (not wrist), you actually get tons of topspin. It's really unintuitive until you experience it. A lot of people it seems even with the right swing path get no control and spin when they just arm it. So the body plays a role too.
YES, excellent comment. The more people focus on the arm/hand the harder it is to generate a lot of swing speed in any direction.
Can Ian hit heavy topspin groundstrokes?
I can on my forehand side but it isn't a natural path for me. I'd have to train a lot to get back again. I've never had it on my backhand side before, too many fundamental flaws.
@@EssentialTennisthank you for your humility and honesty
I always say. Don't try to move the racquet on the ball. Try to move the ball in the racquet.
Damn the production value went up, but it doesn't feel as relateable. Msybe its the lighting
Maybe demonstrations the ideas on court?
