- Welcome to Revolutionary Motion! In this video, we explain to you why you should absolutely pat your dog in tennis when hitting your forehands. Learn to integrate the patting motion into your swing on your forehands in order to create more power and spin and develop a high level forehand. Happy playing,

Thanks for the very detailed & clear explanation on generating Top Spin.
Its amazing how counterintuitive tennis can be sometimes. I have played for years and never understood why my forehand did not feel good. After following the advice given from some of the videos I see here, I have been delightfully surprised by how much nicer it feels to play with a whipping effect (ATP forehand). However, I also realized that its probably impossible to discover the right technique by yourself. Thus videos like these are very important.
We're glad that you were able to raise your level in tennis with the help of our videos! :) We're currently working on a program in which we will give people the opportunity to send in videos of their shots to us for us to provide a technical analysis which will help you with very specific advice on how to fix the flaws in your technique. It's super important to us to make sure everybody can get access to better technique at an affordable price so we can raise the overall level of tennis players together and spread better technique to keep people from getting injured and help them reach their athletic goals. :) Obviously, free videos like this one will always be a part of our channel to give people easy advice they can follow if they feel like the discussed issue applies to them!
You're right. I just discovered this coiling and uncoiling in the arm/shoulder from 'pat the dog' and it's giving me effortless power and spin. What I noticed is that 'pat the dog' is the result of relaxing my arm while starting the rotation/uncoiling of torso which leads to the uncomfortable twisting of the arm that you mentioned. As the torso and body rotates, the arm uncoils and shoots out like a rubber band.
This is the most accurate and correct comment we have seen on our channel so far! Very well explained! :)
@@revolutionarymotion4161 With "Pat The Dog", the racquet head should be above the level of the hand and the you "pull". According to Rick Macci. But in your video the racquat head tip is level with hand.
Excellent tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hmm...Delpo, one of the greatests forehands of all time...
Excellent video, what's helping me achieve this consistently is to make a unit turn then prior to releasing racket from non hitting hand, I will extend the wrist, then as the racket drops from gravity, I can achieve the pat the dog position easier.
Thanks! :) Glad you found a way to cause the correct motion on your forehands by thinking outside the box!
is the patting dog motion same if i use eastern forehand?
It is, however, depending on the flexibility of your arm the side of the strings that will hit the ball might point a bit more forward and not completely down. Your hand will be in the same exact position though. Hope this answers your question :)
