Thanks. I accidentally noticed this recently helped with regular forehands as well. Twisting the rotation ie. Lower body goes the other way brings more linearity to the swing vs full body rotation. More power and cleaner contact as well. Appreciate you taking the time to slow it down
Great video. I recently jumped on a forehand instinctively on a incoming heavy topspin ball and the forehand I hit felt good ! I came looking for a video like this to see if there’s something in it. Will try it more often now 🙌🎾
Isn't jumping forehands more for high incoming balls that's at least around shoulder height? To me, it's more about loading the outside leg whenever possible. And whether or not you decide to jump depends on the nature of the incoming ball. For example, you definitely wouldn't jump up to a low incoming slice shot.
@@progressivedemagogue8480 Yep, that's my thought also, but the coach in this video seems to be confused when he said he wasn't sure if Thiem jumps up to every ball.
@@tenniswithric Thiem will jump on most due to the insane spin he'll receive but of course if you receive a slice you can't jump as the ball is dropping.
I love this idea of learning the jumping forehand as a means to an end - to train up your coordination for a wide range of forehands.
You said it better than I did haha
Very interesting. I will try this. Thank you!
Tom thanks! About serious things with simple language! It helps a lot! Take care, Alex

great content - thanks bro
Thanks, this skill is the key to make beginner's forehand better no matter with jump or not. Awesome!!!
Thanks for your first comment. Keep commenting!
Loved this lesson. Got another perspective about connected chain. May I apply to my two handed forehand?

I was WORRIED when I saw the title. However, watching the video 📹 has given me a few things to look out for!! 😍
pls do shapo jumping backhand, thx
not sure there's many benefits of the jumping backhand for regular humans
Is the very first example video an actual jumping forehand tho ? It doesn’t seem like you left the ground if any

You load outside leg on every forehand. Even neutral.
@@progressivedemagogue8480 That's what I have already said... I'm talking about the need for jumping as mentioned in this video.
@@tenniswithric
Yes you would only launch on a mid height ball or above.

Delpo was the best (and the beast;) at this. Tim is quite...robotical
I’m robotical? If I did it more fluidly people would not understand the move as well.
@@TomAllsopp no-no. I recognized Delpo in your motions. I was 😯 when you said Tim...
Great stuff but needs lots of energy.
nice jump lmfao
You don’t understand tennis
