Just discovered your channel! Great work! As a uk level 2 coach I see many people not extend through contact and therefore not hitting through the ball. I feel this tip is essential for depth and consistent. Many people I see try to focus on trying do the windshield wiper technique they have seen on other RU-vid videos and end up de accelerating at contact and wonder why the have little success.
Great video! In the past two months, my forehand has improved mostly with two changes: preparation for the shot, and having a shorter swing. More control and even more power
Un condensé de conseils pertinents pour s'améliorer j'ai vraiment aimé cette capsule. Améliorez la voix et la diction pédagogique pour un coach super Merci Hats off to U guy
I really like your detailed explanations on eachof the 3 mistakes. There is big debate over WTA and ATP forehand styles. I know you mentioned that different players have different take backs.... I'm curious, do you think that the grip used has an effect on the takeback size?
Amyn Tennis Channel thanks for watching... the grip has a direct impact on the swing shape/racket path, for example, an eastern grip on the FH would require a more horizontal swing path whilst a full western would require a more upward vertical swing path. However, sizes vary from player to player and from shot to shot dependant on their time. You can get away with a bigger take back if you hit with more topspin due to increased margin for error, however I have also seen top players with flat eastern forehands with huge swings... it comes down to having good timing!
@@TheTennisMentor That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the detailed answer and examples. Just out of curiosity, what grip do you hold and how big is your swing?
Amyn Tennis Channel well I don’t spend much time on my own game... I should make more effort! But, I use a semi-western grip and would say I have a medium sized take-back... it used to be bigger (sometimes too big) but has become more compact over time for efficiency when coaching.
@@TheTennisMentor Yea I completely understand. That's what happens when we start coaching more and playing less haha! Thanks for the input. I'm always curious how players transition to coaching and how it effects their game. I appreciate your input, I feel the same about my fh swing. Became more efficient over time. Thanks for answering! I really enjoy your videos. You describe everything very simply but effective with your words and straight to the point.
what a nice video and helpful tips. I'm amateur player who have been struggled with forehand for many years. I think i have one of the most ugly forehand. Could I get your advice how to fix my forehand by sending some footage of me by email? I'd appreciate it if u can help the one desperate player(me). :)
I like your video however you need to mention the change of grip from chopper after the first touch then using the non playing hand to change grip to eastern or semi western grip Also your hand doesn’t take the racket back you shoulder turn takes the racket back, the non playing hand just assists. That’s why we call it a unit turn.
Alexander Great thanks, both very good points which I totally agree with! I try to keep explanations short and simple ensure I’m not boring people with lengthy videos! Maybe I should create them with less exercises and more detail? Thanks for watching!
The Tennis Mentor Sorry if I sounded condescending didn’t mean too. I think your video was good or I wouldn’t have taken the time to watch and comment. There is so much rubbish online and it’s almost laughable what you see.
Alexander Great not at all, it’s all helpful and always appreciate quality feedback. There’s some great stuff on here but, as you say, some not so great... it’s a bit of a minefield for less experienced players! Thanks again 😁
Thanks for this video. I like the 2-Touch drill, but it requires a relative mastery of more open grips (Continental, perhaps Eastern). I initially train FH in SW and this could be challenging for a beginner or intermediate. That is, using the Conti for the 1st touch, then the SW for the stroke. I actually begin training in Continental FH (in addition to SW- for special circumstances, feeding, etc) once relative mastery has been achieved in the FH volley.
Do you honestly think it's realistic to find another adult player who is willing to play two tap tennis? Yes, when you are a coach, you can make people do it, but no recreational player will do that drill even if it's the best thing for their game.
