    If you're looking for tennis forehand tips on technique, the swing and stances and you have no one to play with, look no further.
    In this video you'll learn 7 forehand tips starting with balance, body rotation, what's the best position for the arm and the wrist and how to practice neutral and open stance forehands.
    You can work on different parts of the forehand technique just on your own with a hopper of balls.
    You'll also learn how to accurately drop the ball and orient yourself in space with the 3 x 45 degrees guidelines which helps you position your backswing and forehand follow-through.
    You'll also see a few clips of Roger Federer's forehand, courtesy of Essential Tennis channel, where you'll see Roger demonstrating the basic forehand techniques.
    Stay tuned for more tips on the tennis forehand and other tennis strokes.

    You can't find this valuable information even if you hire a coach face-to-face. We're lucky Tomaz uploading great videos. Priceless..

    This lesson is pure gold. Clear solid structure of the lesson: from fundamentals to the detail, from basic to complex.
    I didn't have an idea about most of the nuances here. The title is not a clickbait, this is truly a lesson for self-practice. Bravo!

    Im 45yo and just started playing tennis and I needed this, i cant wait to practice on my own. Thnx a Lot. Ive been watching ALL your vídeos . Hello from Brazil.

  • @ericfreeman5795

    Excelent tips. Loved the 45° analogy in backswing and followthrough.
    Also, instead of the classical "early preparation", with the racquet pointing at the back fence, now it's a relaxed vertical position of the racquet with a relaxed arm and wrist. The racquet is still "taken back" but in a more relaxed position, ready to drop and "lag" when you start the forward
    rotation of the body. Balancing the butt of the racquet on the pinky finger is an excelent tip. Now we not only can practice serve with a basket of balls, we can train the forehand also.
    Thanks for the great video.

    Always solid advice from you Tomaz. I use your ideas with my own game and with teaching. Honestly anyone can improve their tennis game by watching your videos. You teach the basic concepts that many people tend to skip or simply overlook. If you go to pro level tournaments....(even the men )you can at times see coaches simply dropping balls for their player. There's a reason for that!

    Tomas, hi, I'm 72.5yy. Been "playing tennis" once every few years with a friend who plays 3x per week. 2 are lessons. A week ago, I took part of a lesson with him, and got the bug. Didn't know what to do, or where to go. Ended up here. Watched the video a few times, wrote down the points, went to an empty court with an old racket that he gave me, and a bag(my hopper) of balls he gave me. At the end of 1 & 1/4hrs, following your directions, I was getting the ball in the opposite box, at least 50% of the time. Thanks so much for this video. Don't know where to go next, but I'll just stay here for now. Work on form and technique, right?

  • @ruggierojerolli
    @ruggierojerolli 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Tomaz is an ace in teaching tennis with an extraordinary new approach I acknowledge but just in one important key factor about the forehand I guess is not quite right: Indeed the best and efficient image-conceptulization is that for a fraction of time IT IS a circular centrifugal-driven stroke.
    Carlos Alcaraz especially, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic prove it
    Of course the fh can be hit forwardly, linearly but you won't produce various enormous advantages by getting the above.

    Thank you for the new tips in 2020.
    It seems I relearn again all those mistakes and when shifting to right leg- weight or left leg-weight for the strokes.
    It really is helpful to relearn the balance, hip transfer, follow-through, hand relax, wrist relax, racket tipping back, roller coaster swing...
    I can put those tips into practice soon.

    Amazing set of insights on the forehand, Tomaz! ... There's always something new I learn from every new video of yours. Great job, keep it going :)
    One follow up question - would it be fair to say that neutral stance is more prevalent and suitable for low/med balls, while the open stance is more comfortable/suitable while playing high balls that have a lot of top spin?
    Thanks
