    I am amazed at the word salad so many tennis instructors employ to try to describe the modern tennis forehand. I think that the analogy of throwing a ball or skidding a stone may be the best description. We need to find a better way to help beginners like me master this stroke. I am afraid that tennis has become so complex (as opposed to the old days of the firm, continental grip and hitting through the ball, etc.) that tennis is losing its popularity for the average player. TPA Tennis has some of the better videos in my opinion regarding tennis

    One drill i like is to practice is shadow swing strokes with a tennis ball placed in the throat of the racket. This adds a little bit of weight and help me feel the racket and lossen the wrist, shoulder, and better time legs/hips. It is a good warm up activity too.

    great lesson , when i play i tell myself "CATCH - RELEASE"" .. eg CATCH the ball with my left hand for distance and unit turn and then RELEASE as if the racket was being released from hand and flying away -- that's all good but then there's timing which i'm crap at. WOO!

  • @jayrussell26
    @jayrussell26 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Really interesting and useful lesson - I don’t think I’ve ever heard any tennis coach mention the use of (even) fingers before on a forehand - but it makes total sense. One comment relating to your observation about the closed fist beginner shadow swings vs advanced player - beginners often don’t separate the index finger on the racquet to get that leverage from the index finger - which really only comes into play when you rotate / release the racquet.

    I am the old dude that introduced myself to you yesterday on Tuesday. I certified with Oscar Wagner and he has been teaching about finding the ball with the hand and the racket is an extension of the hand. Even in my old age, I get plenty of power when I want it. However the harder I hit, the flatter I hit and the lower the projectory of the flight of the ball. Right now I am on a really dismal fixed income. I am thinking about trying to go back into the workforce and if I do, would like to get some continuous consultation. Oscar and his assistant Lucille actually had me hitting the ball with elevated height and lots of spin, when I went out to California to do the practicum part of their online certification. I try that technique here and there when I'm practicing, but I always revert back to hitting the ball flat. As it is said: "It's hard to teach an old dawg new tricks".

  • @Sy2023hk

    I've videograbbed the below extracts and watch them on loop, and slowed down, before going to a hitting session to remind me of the technique. It's reall helping me improve.

    This is a great discussion of a bit of nuance that is usually glossed over in most technique discourse. I've noticed this difference in reviewing practice footage, where my best forehands clearly have this easy "release," and forehands where I was rushed or out of position usually don't, they have a locked wrist position through the followthrough. It's a difference that was easy to see but difficult to describe or analyze. I like that this lesson gives a clearer way to discuss it and a clear way to FEEL this difference, to make it more repeatable and purposeful. Guess I'll go get a cheap putter! Thanks, coach.

    @zurbrure ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi Tom. A very good episode again👍👍👍. For me it's so much about the weight of the racket which allows me to swing freely. For the last 20 years I played with heavy rackets (around 330 gr.).
    Since I'm in the mid 50 now, I changed to a 295 gr. racket and it's a fight against the missing control. My muscle memory still nows how to swing freely but with the light racket (by the way it's the Wilson Pro Staff 97 L with a semi-leathered grip) it is twisting in my hand so much more. How can I overcome this problem?

    Hi Tom, do you watch any of Chuck Quinton’s (rotary swing) golf instruction videos on TH-cam? If not I think you’d really enjoy. He’s been talking about the importance of release with hands (dominant hand mostly) of late and I find the similarities to your instruction fascinating and incredibly helpful for both my tennis strokes and golf swing. I’m sure most the concepts are same for two handed backhand release but if there are some small differences w both hands on the racket I’d love to see you do a video on that! I assume swinging a heavy racket or golf club w 2 handed bh stroke will create the proper feeling of release. Thanks for your teaching! Big fan!

    Brilliant teaching technique and lesson. Too many instructors teach techniques that MIMIC what should be done instead of getting the player to FEEL what to do. You don't. I noticed your finger is a bit separated too...I'm guessing that allows you to exert a little extra topspin?

  • @yans3113
    @yans3113 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Its All about creation of racket extraweight (dynamic weight) and transferring it to the ball efficiently. Its all about not only swing shape/style, but utilization of weight and enertia. We must learn to feel our bodies to develop our individual approach to control and hit the ball in different situations and conditions. If we rely only on external things like swing style/path, we cant be effective enough. So, this is thing that TPA tennis shows us. A way to feel what we do. Thanks.

  • @astropiazzolla
    @astropiazzolla ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thanks for the video, Tom. One thing I found very useful is to try to copy the way high level players play mini tennis during a warm up. Since they're not trying to hit the ball deep, the shoulder doesn't get involved much at all. They hit with a very sharp turn of the forearm and the wrist and hit shallow but still with topspin - basically very hard to do it while not releasing the racquet. In fact you can often see the release motion happen in real time with some players, where the hand seems to pause briefly after the contact before the follow through.

    When Federer “releases” the lower part of the arm it is anywhere from .03 to .06 seconds after the contact point. So the release has nothing to do with racket speed. The pros do NOT release their forearm or wrist to hit the ball. They release the lower part of the arm to relax the muscles in the arm and slow the racket down after they contact the ball and NOT to hit the ball. This was proven by Vic Braden decades ago but this information is still around. And please do not say that this is the “modern” forehand and Vic didn’t understand the modern forehand. Trust me he did!! The two aspects that govern how a tennis ball is hit are the dimensions of the court and physical law, not some coaches unique opinion. Read or listen to anything by Vic Braden or Steve Smith for a science based approach to truth in tennis teaching.

      The things you see after contact are a result of what happened before contact. But you better focus on after contact if you want to have it happen before contact. This is why Tiger Woods focuses on finishing with his hands low to hit a stinger and hands high for a high shot. It impacts the shot. The release happens coming out of the lag. Make a video showing me where I'm wrong.

      No you’re absolutely wrong. Two things that govern how a tennis ball is hit is the dimensions of the court and physical law and not your personal opinion.

    Sorry, but it is NEVER the wrist.. It is pronation. Wrist is locked.

      The wrist shouldn’t be locked. That’s ridiculous

      Seems like people disagree. But you are a guru though.
