How to get a loose swing in tennis

Welcome to Revolutionary Motion! In today's video, we explain to you how to create a loose swing in tennis and what you can do to control all the effortless power a loose swing will create. Learn to soften and tighten your grip in the right moments in order to gain full control of your motion. Happy playing,
Kata and Clemens

I think the R2D2 ball hopper took offense at what you were saying and decided to back up. Great video.

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

Haha
Thanks for the nice words! :)

[@rafapazos06]

Hahaha I also thought of R2D2 😂

[@SquatLife]

Great vids as always. I’m freaked by the ghost ball cart!

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

Thank you! :) It never gets boring in Hawaii ;)

[@mariska706]

Strong wind

[@CJZM7777]

Unusual concept of squeezing tightly at contact. Most instructors do not advocate a squeeze on ground strokes or serves. A few instructors do advocate a squeeze on volleys at contact and that makes sense. For me, I think a moderately loose grip works best on groundstrokes and serves. I don't use any active wrist movement on groundstrokes but I do have a little wrist action in the serve.

[@waynehendricks1529]

Excellent explanation!

[@ruthp2379]

The ball hopper has a mind of its own.

[@dmitreyg]

The tennis ball cart got bored and went looking for some balls.

[@ericfreeman5795]

So while you wait for the ball, and during the backswing, you hold on to the little hamster, without hurting it, but right before contact, you crush the hamster.
Did I get it right?

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

Yes, you did! :)

[@alfonsbongers1865]

great video thanks gr, from Holland

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

Thank you, greetings back from Hawaii ;)

[@bournejason66]

Good instructions. Looks like the court is by the ocean?

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

Thank you! :) Yes, we are fortunate to work out of Hawaii most of the time so the ocean is never far :)

[@1114gabby]

Hopper had a mind of its own lol.

[@ldgnotebook]

Helpful tips. Thanks. My hitting partner throws his racket away on the forehand sometimes, when he wants to hit really hard.
Is it Ala Moana tennis courts? windy and cool, no wonder the cart was riding wildly.
Thanks again.

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

Yes, we're filming in Ala Moana from time to time :)

[@ldgnotebook]

I noticed the familiarity surrounding, just guessing.
Your lessons are very valuable. Can’t thank you guys enough. It does improve my technique stroke, especially forehand. I “work”, I mean putting your lessons into practice, with my partner.

[@stratguitarman7831]

Excellent info ! Coach Kata! Out of 10 being the tightest is it a 3 or a 4 to hold racquet?

[@peterrattenbury8608]

3.5

[@transklutz]

2.. r2.. d2

[@mightbefire]

I love your videos, but something's wrong here. If this accurate, how could you possibly use Pete Sampras's two-finger serve technique? Tightening up after the trophy position feels like a power killer.

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

If your upper body rotates fast enough the wrist will not be strong enough to keep itself from moving with the whole upper body dragging it. Thus, you will not lose wrist flexibility or power but gain more control! Hope this takes care of your concerns :)

[@danieli.9252]

I am not loose at all, and gave myself a bad case of tennis elbow (almost a year!). I recently took a lesson and the instructor noticed that instead of following through on my forehand, I was stopping the racquet and putting stress on my arm. Wish I would have known that sooner!

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

You should definitely work on your shoulder rotation to make sure that the shoulders move before the arm does do avoid further damage to your elbow! :)

[@danieli.9252]

@@revolutionarymotion4161 Do I want to feel like my body’s rotation is dragging my arm along? Almost like my arm becomes somewhat passive?

[@ramyg5037]

Good video...and good instructions. Except for the paranormal activity on the ball hopper 0:49

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

Thank you! Glad, the wind created some laughs :)

[@alohayoutube]

Mahalo!!

[@stratguitarman7831]

I have a question when you feed balls to students or to start an initial warmup I heard you are supposed to use a continental grip and hit it flat is this true?

[@tennfunn6332]

Yes, when feeding- making ball easier to hit is key- therefore Continental grip and flatter balls are easier to return.

[@watcher687]

A bonus tip for you. Watch the ball while racket hits it! Yes, it’s only possible when feeding balls and it makes a huge difference in consistency. Try it and let me know.

[@tennfunn6332]

@@watcher687 You are absolutely 💯 right ✅️ Thank-you!

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

Just made a video about it, hope it answers all your questions :)

[@TheImano]

I feel great playing with loose grip.

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

Will keep that in mind for future videos, thanks for the feedback! :)

[@pastisi]

👏👏

[@rafapazos06]

R2D2 in the background 💯 no doubt

[@revolutionarymotion4161]

You are very welcome! :)

[@loicbrouzet8142]

you shouldn't squeeze tight on conctat you just have to squeeze a little bit more

[@treplay8846]

The required muscles are not loose

[@tutubee507]

Tennis elbow‼️🤣

[@doloresvancartier4249]

Grab as tight as possible? Such bad advice. I laughed when the ball hopper decided to go. He had enough of this nonsense.

[@twinwankel]

This is not how I play. All of my shots whether forehand, backhand or serve is done with a very loose wrist even at contact. On one handed backhands, a loose wrist can definitely affect your timing. And on a very hot and humid day, I have to make sure my racket doesn't fly off my hands by drying them after every point. Of course, on volleys or when I have a short swing path, I have to tighten up my wrist.

[@hermanodejesus7264]

Even your hopper is loose ,🤣

[@borisi.]

Explanation is too long.
Should be max 30sec long video

[@haroldcollier7799]

is that Biden wandering off or your ball hopper

[@RyanJ38]

This is the worst of the worst advice
