Thanks! I have paid for so many lessons to learn to hit a good forehand, but no coach has really told me this. All of them have talked about preparing early with the arm and the result is that my forehand has not improved much. I am almost always late when hitting the ball. Lately I have given up on my forehand and instead I run around to hit most strokes with my two-handed backhand which I am really good at, but now after your video I will try hitting forehands again 💥🎾
@@Iblis00 Not explained in that way. Always saying, have large space between arm and body, catch the racket etc. But not focussing much of what I do with the other arm. Perhaps I am stupid, 🙂 but this video made the coin finally go down for me
I have felt the difference by holding the racket longer, and let go with the swing immediately after release. Let the racket ride with. Our body goes first. Don't hold the racket too tight. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the video. I think you've changed racquets from prostaff to CX 200 or CX400 Tour. If possible, please do a video on your new racquet and why you chose it
Ciao Doctor! You catch all the problems I recognize I do have in my own game. You are really the best for all you do and teach, I will follow your advice.
Wow! How interesting! So are you saying that I need to stay in my ready position but just face the side fence rather than the net? But wait, what about the coiling and uncoiling thing? Is it also a myth? Also, do you have any vids on footwork? Thank you
Ha!! I’ve been trying to find the solution on shortening my backswing (it’s waaay too big now). No coaches have really managed to tell me this in this exact concise way. Wish I’d found this video sooner. You should tag it with something like large backswing or something like that so people with my problem could find it easily 🤣
of course if you take back your racket the same height as always when getting a low ball you'll most likely hit the net and if you take back the same way on higher ball you'll hit the fence
Thank you for the video. So the video also captures your lower body movement (feet), please include your entire legs and feet in the video. My son loves to swing and jump instead of uncoil. Looking at the feet will help him understand the lower body movement better.
Imagine Cameron Norrie watching this video lol, Great, I did feel like when following instructions about putting my arm as far as possible when preparing was wrong, I always felt like i was going to miss the shot, thanks.
This kind of instruction is not really actionable. If anyone tries what you are describing, they will fail to execute the forward swing because they haven't done enough to engage the lower body in the kinetic chain. I like your passion to disseminate information but it would really hit home if you could go into more depth on what should replace the additional back swing movement with the arm that you are proscribing
You are mixing things here.. there is no relation between unit turn vs setting up earlier to avoid late… did any one said to set up early I will just go with hand without turning as one unit?pros turn with coil but there are lot of time gives a million second pause showing your racquet towards back fence before swing in full motion
Do a video on how these artificial giant rackets and artificial strings are giving the player the power the control and the top spin, 1980’s rackets, wood rackets and gut strings. Dona video and compare modern to traditional. Show the differences. The traditional equipment should never have been changed.
from 1.38 to 1.48 your explanation is BIG BS , maybe you should watch federer and nadal how they push the racket back with the non dominant hand and then the shoulderturn continious, they NEVER turn fully out of the body so that the racket stays at the same place !!! as a doctor you should have better observation skills and not blindly follow macy and van der meer !!!!
I’m curious, as they’re about to bring their racquet back (having already realised the ball is going to their forehand or backhand), what do you think they DO do?
@@alexanderpavlov1615 No. The coil is part of the forward swing motion, not the unit turn which is part of the preparation. When starting your forward swing if you want coil the lower body (hips) will start to open up before the upper body (shoulders). The easiest way to do this is briefly hold the offhand on the racket side as you start your leg push to open hips.

Damn no coach ever told you to do a basic unit turn lol? that's unlucky.

Could you include instruction and steps on running forehands also? Thanks.
Thanks!
Finally. Thanks so much.
I tried it today. This vid and the Myth vid you made makes all the difference.
Thanks for the video. I think you've changed racquets from prostaff to CX 200 or CX400 Tour. If possible, please do a video on your new racquet and why you chose it
I will
"This is the remedy" very well said, should be the title of your course!
Ciao Doctor!
You catch all the problems I recognize I do have in my own game.
You are really the best for all you do and teach, I will follow your advice.
I love your incisive, logical and demystified presentations. Well done.
Very good Maestro! Ciao from Rome😊
Daje Roma
Wow that was HUGE! thank you! Subscribed !
Thanks. Can you do a lesson on chip and charge?
Yes, good suggestion
Wow! How interesting! So are you saying that I need to stay in my ready position but just face the side fence rather than the net?

Also, do you have any vids on footwork? Thank you
Also would be good to understand the weight transfer sequence as you progress through the swing. Thank you.

Good lesson
Going to give this a go as I'm always hitting the ball late.
Nice recap 🙌
on low forehand shot, do you take the racket back lower and on high forehands, take it back higher ??
Yes
of course
if you take back your racket the same height as always when getting a low ball you'll most likely hit the net
and if you take back the same way on higher ball you'll hit the fence

Shows u technique can go out the window...Norrie world class player with a bad "looking" backhand but its pro tour effective🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Good stuff
Excelent
Every coach trach you according to his perception
Even your instruction is not matching with what you have shown in starting
That’s how tennis was taught in the 70’s, a Chris Evert technique.😊
Surely not. There was no such thing as the racket lag even 10 years ago

If your forehand is always late, is it because it's running on tennis time? 😂

W h y d o U t a l k s o o o s l o w
Ver bad explanation.. one sentence can you tell why it is late
thats completely non sens pro ATP players coil first, they dont have time to make the body uniturn
Not sure what you mean by body unit. Unit turn is a coil. Is it not ?
Go look at a slow mo of Carlos Alcarez - that is a unit turn swing
What are you talking about? Do you play tennis?
I’m curious, as they’re about to bring their racquet back (having already realised the ball is going to their forehand or backhand), what do you think they DO do?
