I literally came to this realization yesterday (how to hit lower and harder) after playing for many years. Then I open RU-vid and up pops your instructional video telling me the same thing. Weird. Good instructional videos!
Congratulations. Excellent.!!! The advance in the game is incredible. Obviously, the best way to confirm the advantage is by simply testing it. So I will prove it in my game. I have the pleasure - at my age - to be entering the court and enjoying the game. My love with Tennis started late; even though we flirted for a couple of years when being 36. Nowadays; and after 3 years of being in love again, I play 6 to 8 hours weekly. I'll be back in a week or so with a replay. See you!
The only issue I could potentially see and if you can clear up. In your instructions your follow through on the wrist is straightening and which indicates loss of control. Where is the wiper motion. It looks like you're covering the ball there in the end, I tried this and there is less control with a loose wrist like that!!!
Of course it has a lot to do with grip. The stronger your grip the more likely the face is to be more closed at contact. That forces you to swing more low to high which then requires you to swing faster to get depth. The pros tend to get far more height above the net than rec players.
@@minharijith4228 A continental grip is weak. You can swing level and get the ball over the net. If you want to generate topspin with a continental grip you have to swing very low to high. An Eastern grip is a bit stronger. You have to swing slightly low to high to get the ball over the net as the racquet face tends to be square at contact. You’ll get some topspin but to generate a lot of topspin you’ll have to swing quite low to high like Federer does on most balls with his low racquet drop. A semi-western grip tends to have the face somewhat closed at contact so you have to swing low to high to some degree to get the ball over the net. You’ll get a fair amount of topspin and will have to have an aggressive swing to get depth in most cases. Nadal is an extreme case where he has a low racquet drop resulting in a very low to high swing path and a semi-western grip so he has to swing very hard to get depth. If you ever watch him practice, he hits every ball almost as hard as he can to make sure that he can still get depth when he naturally swings a little less hard in matches. With a full western grip the face tends to be quite closed at contact and the swing has to be very low to high to get the ball over the net on all but high balls. BTW, lower and harder is how to make lots of errors.
Let's not overlook the two dangers with this tip: lack of depth and hitting the net too often. Hitting through is important but that can be done with a low to high swing path as well.
Super video!! Coach, why 70% of my shots go straight in front? I can hit great long line. When I have time to position at the ball, semi open stance, my spacing is right the chances are I will hit long line. I do not think you made a video about that? I want to hit forehands towards left (right hander)? Is it how early I hit the ball, where I contact the ball. Here Dokovic in a recent post is hitting open stance, there is almost no difference between shots, yet he is firing the ball in both directions: ru-vid.comnZlrGx_mjU0?si=Rnw41bMVHnMhYdb6 Thank you!
