  • Modern Tennis Forehand - 5 Drills You Must Do
    Time to learn the modern tennis forehand drills you must do to fully master the shot. Each unique drill designed to improve a fundamental part of the stroke to give you the ability to hit your forehands with ease.
    The forehand has evolved throughout the years due to a number of factors. Mainly the court surfaces have become slower and higher bouncing so the ability to generate spin has become vital to any players chances of success. The racquets have become more powerful and strings more responsive.
    With the need for spin came the grip change:
    a. Continental (chopper/hammer) grip - the original grip for tennis used by players like Rod Laver and great for low bouncing balls on surfaces like grass. The heel pad of the palm rests on bevel 1 and 2. We now use this grips for serves, slices and volleys.
    b. Eastern grip - allows for some topspin and gives the ability to hit flat hard shots, it also allows for a lot of feel on the strokes. This grip was made famous by Bjorn Borg and used by players like Sampras and Federer who sometimes adjusts it more towards bevel 4 and closer to Semi-Western.
    c. Semi-Western - the most used grip on the pro circuit allowing for great spin generation and power while the ability to maintain a high arc trajectory of a shot making the ball bounce higher off the court creating difficulties for the opponent. The ability to create the perfect amount of spin means players can accelerate through their shots more giving them more powerful strokes which dip before the baseline. Famously used by Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal who edges closer towards the western grip.
    d. Western grip - used by players like Jack Sock, Kyle Edmund, Karen Khachanov and Nick Kyrgios. Gives a player a tremendous amount of topspin and the ability to deal with high balls while giving a player power of they use the wrist lag and snap correctly.
    The technique had to adapt too as it was no longer possible to simply take the racquet back and forth in a linear path, the swing became more compact and the wrist lag came into effect.
    We broke the modern forehand down into 5 fundamental drills that you should master in this tennis lesson.
    1. The path of the racquet - working on getting the racquet under the ball and moving upwards through the shot and wrist rotation to create the maximum amount of top-spin.
    2. The path (trajectory) of your shot - working on a higher net clearance which is required to accommodate the spin created to ensure that the balls are landing deep and it is tough for the opponent to attack.
    3. The swing - working on the swing to be more compact and not breaking the line of your body with references to both ATP and WTA swings.
    4. Hit phase - working on getting a smooth loop on your swing and lagging your wrist through the hit phase of the shot.
    5. Turn & Space - making sure your shoulders are turned and you are hitting the ball far enough away from you to allow the racquet to accelerate.

      @@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I have watched Simon's analysis of Roger Federer's serve. There is a point not covered in the video or any video for that matter, of the path of the racket during pronation before the ball is struck. In trying to copy the serve, feet parallel, ball in line over the chest, I have noticed there is no power. I believe it is because my swing is too sideways to the target. When swinging before pronation, the racket should be traveling on edge exactly towards the target, pronation occurs before impact but the pronation strike point is half way through the full pronation that occurs in the swing and at the point when the racket face is facing the target. So if the full pronation is 180 degrees, the actual strike point is halfway thru that half circle or 90 degrees.

    I , like many others here, have been learning from videos for the last few years and I must say this is simply the best forehand video I’ve ever seen. Clean crisp video and great angles and shot execution! Hands down the best out there. Does the finish position of the racquet head Change depending on what the shot is it seems sometimes finish is very high above the ear and other times - like on the fed clip - he’s finishing around his left shoulder?

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial

    Very clear and simple steps will put into practice good point re getting too near the ball. I have seen other guys hitting similarly to your method but couldn’t work out what I needed to do differently except I knew my forehand lacked real pop and power plenty of top spin but not enough penetration. Your drills and breakdown of the forehand will help me just a question of how much I can do it? I am 64 yrs of age but can run around with enough speed to play very good club players in their 20’s 30’ and 40’s just a question of how long I can keep doing this. Eat well very little to no alcohol plenty of rest and lots of yoga stretching daily cycling mostly on an electric bike. Always kept fit no excess weight all helps to date. Thanks great tuition amazing forehand at the end.

    Awesome video as usual! Glad to see Alex again - his forehand takeback looks a bit different than it used to but lots of sting! Keeping the loop and spacing will be useful things to remember. Have a question though, is "pat the dog" (strings down) as important as everyone says? Alex is able to go from low to high, without completely closing the racquet face all the time. I'd think this may even give him a bit more time - is it the grip? Thanks!!

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think pat the dog helps some players and hinders others.
      Used to coach a family who took their daughters to Macci's academy.
      They came back much worse than when they left.
      Screwed up 6 months of my work, teaching them to pat the damn dog,
      Took me another 2-3 months to correct it again and then they decided to go back the following summer so I stopped teaching them. Everyone's looking for the magic powder, there is none.
      It's all about working hard and smart!

      Top Tennis Training - Pro Tennis Lessons thanks Simon! I used to used to have a pretty good low to high compact shot after a coach had told me I was dropping the racquet face down too much, I thought I was copying Fed but it was more like Murray’s power position with my “pause” in that position. Thought it was wrong and ”WTA” for the longest time but glad to know it isn’t.
      Btw, “pat the damn dog” now has to be a favourite tennis quote lol

    Hi Simon and Alex!
    I have ben following your videos for some time and I think you are doing a great job. I work as a part time tennis coach in Sweden and have a question concerning the WTA forehand vs the atp forehand. Do you as coaches encourage the girls to try use the so called atp forehand or is , in your opinion, necessary for the girls to use a bigger backswing to generate the the right amount of power for their strokes?
    Thanks.
    Greetings from Sweden/Per

    • @TopTennisTrainingOfficial
      @TopTennisTrainingOfficial  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Whenever I have worked with a girl, I'll look at their mechanics and see if they can do something better with the swing. If their swing is natural and a bit more like a WTA swing, I would leave it but work on them adjusting swing sizes depending on the incoming ball. With most though, I've taught them more of an ATP style, keeping the racket on the dominant side etc
      There is no wrong or right, each player is a separate puzzle you must figure out
