Sebastian Korda is a great technical model to emulate because of how simple, clean, and efficient his groundstrokes are. In this video, we break down some checkpoints that you can copy to see if you, too, can benefit from emulating his technique! Good luck with your forehand! Remember: technical change is not immediate because your strokes are motor patterns that take time to build up!

Yes, I use Seby as the example to my students because of his economic and simplistic strokes. And I love that you acknowledged the fact that LIFT is natural and beneficial during the stroke. Wonderful analysis and explanation!!!

@AB-xp8im 2 месяца назад

this is interesting, i just saw a video from patrick mourataglu stating that one should imagine a roof over their head to stay low and states all the pros do it that way....but clearly your video shows otherwise. Could it be there is simply more than one way to do it "right"?

@BeforeandAfterTennis 2 месяца назад

There is no "right" or "wrong" way to hit. But hopefully we can agree what is efficient. I definitely disagree with the "stay low" or "roof over the head" concept. If you watch players at a high level, as you push against the ground to start unwinding the hips, the natural reaction is to lift up (as long as the eyes and the head stay at the hit you will be fine.) This isn't based on my opinion, btw, just watch in high frame rate and slow motion how players hit the ball when they are trying to really accelerate. There are caveats of course. You do stay lower in certain scenarios such as when defending, when the incoming ball has enough pace supplied (thus you don't have to generate as much), or when you're approaching the net. But in general, you should not "stay down." That's a big myth in tennis instruction (but again it depends how that input is applied and in what scenario).

Coach you reckon you could make Jannik sinner backhand analysis. Been wanting to have a winner backhand and I know a lot of people would love to learn how to gain power on the two hander

Hello. Sure, I can add it to the list. Are there any particular aspects of his backhand that you need help understanding? Or what do you struggle with?

@SparkiNgFLasH7 2 месяца назад

@@BeforeandAfterTennis the main aspect I'm struggling with my backhand is the timing and contact point. I can't seem to project power into my backhand at times. I feel like Jannik sinner posses qualities as a role model two handers as a weapon and not a defensive shot

@joseh899 2 месяца назад

Excellent analysis coach! Patrick M believes in staying down throughout the hit, but video analysis of top pros shows otherwise most of the time., lifting as they are hitting, as Sinner was doing.

@BeforeandAfterTennis 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the comment! There are instances where a player has to "stay down" or "stay low" but in general, you end up lifting as you use ground reaction force to start the stroke with the legs.

@EmperorsNewWardrobe 2 месяца назад

Given his clean takeback, he can afford to straight the elbow on contact Federer-style

@BeforeandAfterTennis 2 месяца назад

Hmmm, that's an interesting observation! You think clean takebacks equalls + straight elbow? Off the top of my head it does seem that players with a clean takeback have straight elbows at contact-but there are exceptions

@EmperorsNewWardrobe 2 месяца назад

@@BeforeandAfterTennis I don’t think a clean takeback equals a straight elbow, I think it affords that player the opportunity to access the straight elbow whip. Korda’s takeback is remarkably similar to Federer’s, only Korda rotates his trunk through early, meaning his elbow is then bent at contact. Federer’s forehand is meanwhile letting the arm extend as the elbow and wrist snap through at contact before his trunk then finishes rotating

@lawdepotpresident9900 2 месяца назад

That's not how it works biomechanically. If you want a differentiation between why some players have a straight elbow vs. someone who doesn't (like Sinner) you simply have to look at the tradeoffs in terms of TIME. If your arm is straight, to complete angular displacement and maintain power (as per front delt/pec structure) you need to be in front of it. Sounds complicated asf, but simply complete a forehand with perfect form with a straight arm. Imagine if you hit it with complete shoulder rotation parallel to the baseline. You are just not in a strong position. Complete the same movement with a bent elbow, even marginally. Your pecs are engaged sooner. It's more time. That's it. This allows for a bit more muscle on the ball (when late) and more time on a ball with adequate time.

@EmperorsNewWardrobe 2 месяца назад

@@lawdepotpresident9900 hang on, what are you saying the flaws are in my explanation?

@lawdepotpresident9900 2 месяца назад

@@EmperorsNewWardrobe So I actually sat on my reply for a bit so you inserted this 2nd reply before I actually responded (was at work, distracted). Number One: Straight elbow whip means absolutely nothing to me, other than the greatest acceleration occurs with a bent elbow vs. a straight elbow at different times. Number Two: Trunk rotation timing (as you say, early) has nothing to do with straight vs. bent arm. Your trunk rotation does not influence your arm extension...it's a choice. Number Three: There is no wrist snap, in a forehand, ever. There is extensive forearm supination and minor wrist supination.

We’re already full of imitation !! Come up, develop your own style , your own way of hitting! Be genuine . Be authentic . If you copy anyone , you’ll never excel and reach that level of competence. Own your stroke !

@BeforeandAfterTennis 2 месяца назад

Hey Lord Byron, while individuality does come out, there are basic principles players should adhere to if they want to learn to hit the ball really well. If we watch the best players in the world, both men and women, they usually (not always) adhere to these principles. We all are affected by the same physical laws and the court is the same shape for all of us. This video is simply a checkpoint tutorial for players to follow along with and improve their strokes. You can definitely improve and excel by copying what players at a high level are doing.

@normanashbrooke3345 2 месяца назад

Before we had tennis videos and tennis on TV, people did develop their own style, they were genuine, they were authentic and the tennis was awful. If you went to the public courts prior to 1968 you would see some of the most awkward serves and groundstrokes imaginable. The only way you could become a good player would be if you lived in an affluent area where there were good players you could copy. Tennis today is much better, even relative beginners have decent looking strokes thanks to tennis videos and tennis on TV. The game of tennis has evolved tremendously since the first Wimbledon in 1877, each generation has contributed to this marvelous game. Modern technology has accelerated the advancement of technique and style. In the late 1980’s, a very young Roger Federer watched on TV the likes of Becker and Edberg and created his game from what he observed.
