- How to hit Rocket Ship Forehands and Win More Points
“Dude you’re hitting ROCKET SHIPS!!!” -Former Top 100 ATP pro Jeff Salzenstein
Jeff was teaching me how to crush inside out forehands when he told me I was hitting “Rocket Ship Forehands”!
Anytime you can hit a forehand instead of a backhand you should…. And here is why!
Because you are using the dominant side of you body 9 out of 10 players hit Bigger forehands than backhands.
Plus when you STEP around the backhand to hit a forehand the geometry of the court starts to work for you instead of against you.
Stepping around the backhand gives you the opportunity to do some MAJOR damage and be totally unpredictable whether you play singles or doubles.
Inside in shots become like cross court shots which gives you more margin and more angles to work with.
Inside out shots are so much harder to read, and move off the court in a hurry!
To be honest I have always struggled with this shot and therefore missed out on a lot of opportunities to finish off points I know I should be winning.
That is why I was grinning from ear to ear when Jeff said to me “Dude you are hitting rocket ships”
Not only did it feel great but I knew when you saw this tip it would instantly make sense once you saw it.
The move is totally counter intuitive but REALLY REALLY helps you drive the ball.
You have got to try this...you will impress yourself!
Cool story….
A couple days after I took my lesson with Jeff, I saw Federer get the same exact ball against Stan Wawrinka at the French Open and Roger hit it the same exact way Jeff taught me.
No wonder this guy has wins against Marty Fish, Justin Gimblestob, and was up a set against Michael Chang on Arthur Ashe Stadium when he was #2 in the world!

P.S.
If you have not watched the first two lessons watch them ASAP because in a couple of days I am going to invite you on a Forehand Journey like NEVER before. You will get to participate in one of the MOST rewarding tennis experiences of my life! - บันเทิง
Devil is in the detail? Aiming the tape, and low, finishing high follow through. In the end it's like there are two different types of forehand. That's very detailed explanation from a coach. In addition to that he says he learned that from Landsdorp. That's incredible knowledge!!!! Thank you!
yes Jeff is awesome!!!
@@PeterFreemantennis : Pete´s awesome too!
Such great instruction! I can’t wait to go outside and practice. I’m really lacking in the follow through.....got to remember to aim low and finish high...thanks so much!!
Like someone already said two of my favorite coaches. Jeff so smart to give your mind audio feedback, when you hit a great shot, reinforce with a loud Yes!,, and if not, yell out the adjustment. Good job Pete
thanks Cliff
I like both you and Jeff. Thanks for this great effort
Wow. I definitely liked that inside out forehand instruction. Excellent.
aiming for the tape i am trying tomorrow in my match Cant wait !!! i'm gonna have so much racquet speed and if i am hitting winners will produce much more confidence !! Thanks to Peter and Jeff!!
That is awesome video man! I love that inside out Forhand drive!
I think step by step process will be most useful for me. Thank you!
So good!
That motion is the start of the analysis of the many elements that can be explored within the realm of the forehand. Stance and leg "loading", preparation of the arm and position of where the racquet head is facing and how "low" it is at swing initiation , and varying degrees of axial rotation of the entire arm through the swing path - allowing for "windshield wiper" to impart spin, are other important elements.
Fantastic.
Just amazing lesson ! I've tried it yesterday, and in my case I had to aim at the bottom of the net to make them go slightly over lol, but I can still see the result and the speed I was able to produce , very good lesson guys !
Awesome lesson. Will try on the court ASAP. It's my worst shot by far
That's more or less my situation. I have a very good top spin forehand, with a lot or margin,high and good bounce but it's hard for me to finish or crush a winner.
That forehand looks a lot like Jimmy Connors's , in his book he says that he always aims very low and Like hitting flat ( and that Pancho Segura was always worried on the stands because of it )
Good to have advantages of both styles , in the last decade I think the top spinny and ''windschield wiper forehand '' has done good but also some bad labeling a flat shot like ''old school'' or obsolete .
Thanks to you and Jeff, nice video
Wow just seen the light, when a player has to move in an wants a forehand it exactly like you say aim tape with a high Finnish . Thank you l owe you a ton.
Waiting for that email,will like to hit that heavyball more consistently,thanks,great job!
Great Job 💓💓
i was really impression with the little simple techniques show through the kinetic chain of the swing path of the racket. I want to arrived at some point the get more direction, depth and consistency
I can’t wait to take this third lesson out to the court to see if I can start to hit at the tape with that high finish! If I can get some additional power my game will vastly improve!
Consistent power on the forehand. Find myself playing consistent tennis too often and that leads to rolling the ball in and much longer rallies. I then pickup the pace and result is good, but once I start missing a few I regress back to rolling the ball in.
yes the key is to bake in the technique so it becomes automatic
I need the step by step progression to improve my forehand abilities that will greatly my overall playing performance
Hi.. love the video - what grip do you use to drive the forehand like that?
Great idea going to the different coaches!
Good video!🎾😻
Thanks mate
Awesome! I'm really struggling with the inside out forehand and this is definitely going to help.
got your back mate!
Great video Pete! One thing I would like to add is that stance should be more neutral rather than semi open or open( body sideways) the rocket ship inside out. What do u think?
Way to crush those forehands, two of my favorite online tennis coaches. I need to drive through the court and do it in the big points and win my usta national tournament
awesome mate joint the journey with me!
Interesting. How can I improve my footwork so I'm positioned to make these shots?
Before this video I was always trying to hit even with higher topspin in inside-out forehands than my normal rally balls to create wider angles and make the ball land in the court with that angle. I will try the flatter and faster shot as in this video in my next match and see how it feels.
more power!
Awesome
How to correct arm stiffness to get more racket head speed.
Though I like Jeff, I have to say that I don't understand why he wants to finish high all the time. I think the finish depends on the position of the ball at contact. If the ball is positioned near shoulder level, you want to finish at your waist to drive the ball down. You can watch Fed videos on he does this. If the ball is below your waist and you want a more topspin shot, you can finish high. But I prefer to have my wiper higher but still finish at the waist because I like to drive the ball as much as possible. Remember that you are closer to the net with most of these shots and you don't need much topspin to get past the net, so finishing high is not really necessary.
good point to make. I think this video is for waist level and lower balls just in side the baseline.
Hi, i have two daughters wanting to go to pro circuit.We need those forehands! Do you run an academy? Wan
Is the raquet face closed upon contact?
Best footwork to get the ball in the strike zone.
Want to keep improving my forehand. I am hitting top spin, but want more power and flexibility.
Power and accuracy on the forehand
I can help you with that Join the Journey on Monday!
consistency and timing, how to do this with a fast ball not a drop feed
Practice!. First, check if you can do it with drop feeds. Even pro´s practice wih drop feeds. If the ball is super fast, probably it´s not a good idea to hit an inside out forehand. But in a match, you´ll have short, slow or medium paced balls to your backhand, that you can run around to hit a forehand.
Want more consistency and power on my forehand. Recovering from tennis elbow and I can rip my one hand backhand but need my forehand to be more surgical and a weapon
very cool make sure to take it slow with your comeback...this course might be the answer...we go very step by step
awesome. would like more spin on my FH
great Jack look forward to taking your forehand to the Next Level
Would like to have more consistent depth on forehand which includes more topspin.
I am confused. I finish high to get high net clearance. How in the world do you finish high but aim for the tape?
you don't....this is pretty bad coaching and teaching inconsistency...
Think of hitting the ball down and into the court
more control and power
Interesting lesson snippet. I didn't see the "pat the dog" move here, especially on Jeff's forehand. Is that the key to driving the ball?
I don't understand that inside out follow-through, most pros finish across their bodies. - if you finish high, wont the ball go high? How does it just skim over the net when your finish is that high?
I need to learn to lessen the tension throughout my body when I try to improve my forehand. I feel so much pressure to hit better shots.
i know how you feel Frank. Relaxation is a huge part of this course. I got a 4 for 1 deal that expires tonight...check it out...you will love the course crunchtimecoaching.com/tennis-thrive/join-upgrade-your-forehand-journey/
Action starts at 4:00 . Good stuff.
Flat ball hitter. Robert Lansdorp. Pete Sampras. Maria. Lindsey. Catch the racquet. High in front. Come to SoCal. South Bay.
"I don't want to waste any time" he said 4 minutes into the video and he hadn't even begun.
I hardly ever relax because I know I try too hard.
I'm 14 but is it too late for me to become a pro?
no damn i wish i started at 14 if you work hard enough and smart enough you can be awesome i do not even have to see you play
Now I’m hitting rocket ship forehands just like you. My forehand is amazing and I am going to be a pro some day!
Love it!!!
I am too far behind. I want one forehand. Later add a second.
Jeff had helped more than Macy but probably charged less.
Once you got the knowlegde, no one can take it away from you.
Aim low, finish high! Who knew? Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks Peter.
Consistency Please.
