Forehand transformation in 13 minutes 

Imagine being a normal 13 year old and having to play tennis with this dude in PE. I’m interested in seeing his serve

I've been trying to improve my forehand... This video is perfect. Thanks!

Great video!! Will use these techniques to improve forehand.

Very good video! Thanks coach!

Merci encore pour toutes vos vidéos, vos explications 👍👍 Elles sont simples, on voit tout de suite l'objectif de la vidéo et les progrès de vos élèves !

Great video! So calm and collected... Will be one of englands best! Lets goooo

Wanna say thank you, been doing this for 2 days now and I play powerful forehand effortlessly

So good, Patrick, in fact 'super good'!

amazing lesson. I learn so many thing on that. Thanks you so much

This is a great video. I remember having exactly the same problem with the forehand. It is interesting to see that almost every beginner player can have this type of short or rushed forehand. Patrick's technique is gold. It took me a long time to get my mind to extend the arm through the shot as if someone would pull the front of your racquet forward and perpendicular to the net before you finish the swing up your shoulder. So yeah, this is the best video I've seen that teaches a flawless, beautiful forehand.

Thank you teacher Patrick.........i am from Brazil i am love tenis.

I remember hitting with him when he was much younger at David Lloyd Purley. Way to go Mark! Keep going and say hi to the family for me and your amazing mother 🎉🎉😃🎾

absolute weapon of a forehand!

Nice video coach!!

Hi Patrick. As always amazing video. I have a weird forehand. My starting grip position is bevel 3 but I hit the ball with my hand and wrist on the opposite side. Like I hit the ball with an eight bevel. What should I do? When I have time to prepare myself I can hit the ball very hard but I need a lot of time to do this

i’ll try to trust my hand now and let go. just add spin. thank you for the tip!

Coach Patrick, thank you for this amazing video. I've been coaching a young lady for many months now, her forehand has always been a huge weakness/problem. I used your methods from this session, within 30 minutes her forehand was transformed. She went from an error-strewn beginner to crushing the ball with depth and spin during our hour practice. Thank you so much for providing us with this!!!!!

He has a killer forehand. Perhaps good to explain that it works in some situations and in other situations which may not be under his control such as an opponent looking to counteract your tendencies, such as his tendency to full body rotation to generate both power and direction, potentially making him take that extra step to stabilise himself when landing. With the early preparation and using racket speed to generate more spin, he has another type of weapon to generate or defend angles.

You are the best coach!

Great Patrick!!! I ❤ your lessons 🤩🤩🤩

Should I always start uncoiling first before hand goes forward with the racket or both (uncoil+hand) comes together? I know my hand should be relaxed (to get wrist lag as well) but still looking for correct grip power/timing because sometimes my hand starts going forward sooner than my trunk and breaking kinetic chain.

Merci Patrick pour tes leçons sur you tube . C’est pas tout le monde qui peuvent ce payer des cours de tennis haut niveau. En tant que francophone ton anglais est facile à comprendre, ,, je me sens bilingue merci

First things i noticed were his exceptional footwork and fluid hitting motion. Must be fun playing that good, especially being just 13 years old. Mouratoglou must have something going on, attracting so many good players.

reminds me of a young andy murray - kids got mad skills. keep it up he'll do big things.

Bravo.

You can see the young man’s movements become more fluid when the coach tells him to relax.

My forehand is always going very high. I am left handed left eye dominant and right footed when I play football. How can I have a deeper and lower forehand?

This kid forehand is amazing

This is great. Thank you. Greetings from the beautiful Algarve, do you know? Welcome, let's play 👍🤗🌞🎾

I'm gonna trust my hand. Thanks

Mark Ceban. British No.1 for 14 and under boys. Could be future top pro.

Excellent couching!

excelent video thanks a lot .. alot of teachers ..seed .. no relax the wrist...it is to bad ç

Sir, i am big of you..I have learnt a lot from your videos... But I am still struggling to deal with high balls.. I see pro players crushing high balls...when I try to do that I either hit them to net or hit them out of court.. Please make video on dealing with high balls..

Sir, I have been trying your teachings of letting the hand go, let the wrist go to get a complete balance of power and spin. I see a huge difference in quality, speed and spin. Thank you for that. One question: I am trying to hold the racket as close as possible to the bottom of the handle while I used to hold it a bit inside earlier. But while trying to hold it close to the bottom, I tend to hold the racquet only with the bottom three fingers and sometimes shank the ball. I wanted to know if we have to ensure that the pad of the palm right under the index finger should also rest comfortably on the racquet and we ensure there is no gap with that for stability. Somehow, I don't feel that if I hold the racquet a bit inside. I use the Eastern grip as I find it more comfortable but find this problem in that grip. I don't face this problem in the semi-western grip which also I have tried but I somehow don't feel very comfortable in hitting through the ball. Also, I find it more time-consuming and difficult to change the grip to my 1-handed backhand as the game gets faster. What would you suggest?

Actually two technical skills before the adjusting, it is the legs drive, but no upper body mass impact after that is the upperbody rotation, but it looks not smooth.

Knew of Mark from his previous training centre, the same place Raducanu trained as a junior, could not believe he was 12 years old, he was already 6ft at that age.

Your recreational player can certainly pick up tips and tricks, apart from that, no comment

I sooooo jealous 😮

Good lesson. The player tucks his elbows in too close to his body on both his forehand and backhand. Good idea to get him to extend a bit. He doesn't have to hit a straight arm forehand like Federer and Nadal but Djokovic's bent arm forehand has his elbow out several inches from his torso. This player was tucking the elbow near his torso. He could also improve his 2 handed backhand by extending out to contact and getting his elbows away from his torso a few inches. You get more leverage and racket head speed when you are farther away at contact. I like the early prep too.

He’s 13?! Holy mother…

When you told this guy to hit open stance his feet look pinned at the floor. And a few balls later he unconsciously converted back to a neutral stance.

Taller than Patrick and 13? Hits the ball amazing!

Great video. Have to ask though. Should I be making my eggs in a stick free pan (risking chemicals) or using an oil/butter thus adding calories? Lastly, should I try to disable IPV6 from my network connections if I feel my internet is running slow? Or likely not my issue all together?

I think his backhand is even better...top 10 in 5 years..

Wow

Omg milion times he said here here here here. How do you feel also milion times.

I like 👍 this British 13 year old young guy's best hitting skills

If you hung a few banners from the ceiling, would the echo go away?

He looks a bit like Guga Kuerten

When you accidentally dry on high heat

*Mark Ceban* :D

Those hips don't lie ;

dude sees perfect forehand and has no idea what he will do. Proceeds with doing something completely random. Ohwell... I guess ...

Where is the “sit on chair” part?

Patrick trying to improve something thats perfect

Agassi would disagree with this forehand technique!! ie. He doesn’t hit through the ball enough.

Good drill but how do you swing loose and fast when the ball is high ( heavy spin) ? It's not difficult to do to strike range balls

Kid looks like Rublev

What he transformed I didn't get it excatly

The elbow is to near the Body i would say, but good fh

Reminds me of Federer until he hits a 2-hander, but still.

Yet another amazing coaching session. So many pointers? Goons in the comments section complaining the kid is already good. Fml.

I don't get the wrist thing, I keep my wrist free then my racquet flies off my hands hahaha Okay so I let go... My racquet flies 😂

Patrick is 2nd2none.

Excellent fitness for 13 y.o. Maybe a top-10 player in some 10 years?

😀👍👍🎾

what are they feeding this 13 year old?

The criticisms of some people here imply that they don't understand the context. Patrick does not coach beginners; he coaches players who are already exceptional but looking for the kind of micro-adjustments that make the difference between being a top 100 player and being a top 10 player. And this is just one step in a process. Patrick is focusing on just a couple of concepts so that his student doesn't have to think about a bunch of new things at once. Yes, the kid's forehand was already very good, but Patrick is giving him the tools to be both consistently good and _efficiently_ good. These are some of the steps toward making a good player into a champion... which Patrick knows more than a little something about.

Have watched many of your forehand videos before, and you seem to stress to follow through with right side. However in this one, it is not mentioned and it is obvious that he does not follow with his right hip to the direction of the ball.

SOME SLOW MOTION PLEASE

Curve the ball... Trust you hand..... Hmmmmm. Sorry to say but I don't see what is so exceptional in his advice. The student already has a fluid motion and a loose wrist on his forehand, but just need to include his lower body more in the build up and his footwork and preparation needs to be improved. Especially on his backhand which is just a slap with his arm.

click bait, what chair?

That's not 13 bro ☠

Man is also wearing Yeezy's for tennis ☠☠☠☠☠

With all due respect, Mark's forhand is precise and powerful. His wrist is loose during the swing and his rhythm and acceleration are top notch. The only tip I would give him is to get a little more support out of the legs.That is missing especially in the drill to add more spin. Mark stands completely straight during that drill. Just saying there's more power doesn't mean there's more power! For me there is no transformation in 13 minutes!

More like forehand tweak not really a transformation…

The kid was hitting it perfectly from the beginning what the coach said didn’t make difference the kid wasn’t making the effort and then he start doing it, he didn’t need this lesson anyway

13? Check the birth certificate

LoL...What is this whole nonsense all about?🤣🤣🤣Any bottomline?!😂

Rublevv🤡

Should play rugby instead.
