The importance of your DOMINANT EYE on the forehand 

Groooming😅

totally agree, how the ball bends in the air is super satisfying to see

All I see is grooming

no the issue was she turned her head too early when racket meeting the ball. you don't keep your eye at the meeting point, that would make you look like a robot

5 mn 42. Patrick shows left eye but isn’t it the right eye for her in this explanation?

She's Canadian.

Ostensibly you track the ball with your dominant eye, so if you’re a righty and right eye dominant, you want to hit in a more neutral/open stance because if it were closed stance the ball would be tracked in the inner peripheral/over the nose of your dominant eye, whereas more open the pupil of the dominant eye would be straight ahead. If you’re righty, LED, you can close your stance more on forehand but your backhand should be more neutral/open. The same applies in basketball when shooting a jumper, you should aim the ball in front of your dominant eye

The test looks super impressive and makes you feel better about paying $700 an hour.

@@FiendishFuManchu lovely explanation. Never thought of it like this before

@@FiendishFuManchu the stance would usually depend on the kind of ball that comes across the net and what kind of ball you wanna hit. Everything for a LED right handed player on the left side cannot be played with open or neutral stance. In my opinion this over complicates things. Can't change footwork depending on dominant eye.

She has an effortless, relaxed swing for sure. Very nice forehand! When learning or refreshing technique, I often watch videos of juniors and younger players, because they tend to move more freely and naturally. I often get these major or minor epiphanies afterwards, discovering unnecessary tension or contraints which can then more easily be resolved.

i am lefty, right eyed but I can't see what they are doing here at all

It's good to hit rising ball

We are not closing one eye to play tennis. It’s just a myth that which eye dominant is important

Well I agree with others that it wasn't explained in the video. In theory, I suppose, knowing that your dominant eye is, say, your right one, might suggest a relatively open stance on the forehand side (for a righty) and a more closed stance on the backhand side. Or maybe it just means you want to turn your head forward more on the forehand side. I don't know.

​​@@paulbenninghoff5320 You're still going to hit closed or open stance on both sides depending on how the incoming ball is coming at you, high ball? Short ball? Ball going wide? And it's not because your one eye is more dominant, your brain has already taken all these information when you strike the ball even without knowing which eye is dominant and what not
