Tennis Forehand Transformation - Technique For Maximum Power and Control

Tennis Forehand Transformation - Technique For Maximum Power and Control. In this video lesson, Top Tennis Training coach Simon Konov is working on his student's forehand technique, the player struggles with timing, power and consistency on his forehand. The key elements that they focus on are:
Early preparation on the forehand with the racket and non-hitting separating earlier in the swing, if the left-hand stays on the racket for too long the player will struggle with timing the contact in front of the body.
Reaching a good power position on the forehand - if the non-hitting hand stays on the racket for too long the end result will be rushing during the forward phase of the swing but it also means the player doesn't reach a good power position. The power position is where the non-hitting hand is across the body, almost in line with the baseline, the racket head is higher than the grip level creating leverage in the racket and hand and the body is coiled up, ready to uncoil on the forward phase of the swing.
Weight transfer and full rotation - Simon's student struggles to open up the shoulders fully on the finish and this blocks the amount of power he can generate. By uncoiling fully on the forward phase you can generate maximum power and control of the shot plus the weight transfer becomes much easier when done correctly.

Inside the PDF, we'll teach you five of the most important fundamentals to building a reliable and consistent forehand

[PlazaMoon]

Wicked advice. I've had so many tennis lessons and no coach has ever pointed this out before. Thank you

[L_D_]

Very good. I'm a visual learner and I find the play-by-play helps break it down and communicate what your teaching. The before and after demos are great too.

[Weightdestiny]

The best explanations I've ever heard and seen. So clear, simple, and visual. Adding slow motions episodes makes videos even more valuable! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Played tennis for the first time after a long, multi year break. I think I made all of these mistakes and more. Great video, Thanks!

[mvmcali]

You do a great job of giving enough specifics but still keeping it focused on a few key points

[deseancarter]

As a beginner who has come to join this sport, these videos are gold.
Thanks for taking the time to make these.

Hi Simon - really liked this. Great to see you working with the "regular" tennis player and how you break the lesson down into simple steps. We can all take homework from this. Let's have more please!

[guilhermebuss]

Very good! step by step clearly explained, with focus on the details. Thank you Simon.

[matthewdavidson]

Awesome advice! And I love watching the pros in slow-motion

[Gabby-tbtq]

Being able to correct someone as you are doing now is quite fascinating!

Good video. As always. Would love one for the backhand as well.

Usually I know what to do but always forget when I'm playing a match. Unit turn quickly for example. I do it for a couple of games and then my mind is gone.

[kenchan]

Good coaching. You were straight to the point to improve his techniques.

[alangoudie]

A very clear, helpful video from an enthusiatic & excellent teacher.I only wish his instruction advice
was available 65 years ago when I started playing tennis.You tube viewers are fotunate to see these
videos & have vital lessons from these keen & great coaches.

The reason the fella is holding on to racquet with his left hand, on the preparation phase, is because we have YT coaches teaching this type of stuff. Second his footwork is off, third his racquet face isn’t dropping underneath the ball, and he is hitting flat like Connors, which isn’t working because he is holding his racquet with an Eastern grip, and you are doing a excellent job fixing that problem. You are a great teacher my friend.

[byronmonge]

You are such a great coach. Thank you very much for this wonderful video.

[crruan]

Thanks for this valuable coaching, Simon.

[musubi]

Awesome video, and a great follow up to your main forehand video. I couldn't figure out why I'm always late against fast shots, but now I realize I've definitely been holding my left hand on the racquet too long!

[kevinpeasetennisprofession]

This is of the highest coaching quality.
Well done. I’m starting my 40 shadow swings right now!

[natsksrn]

Great video. This had a summary of all the issues I currently have with my FH. Late release of the left hand, not using body weight etc. Thanks for the great tips.
