Why 99% of Tennis Pros swing this way...(Drill included)

Do you want your forehand hit like the pros without copying the pros? You don’t have to play exactly like everyone else. In this video, I’ll teach you the secret move that almost all the pro players use to make their forehands powerful, controlled, and heavy. And the best part, I’ll show you how to make it fit just right with how you play.

The way you broke it down and used the hammer as an example makes it so much easier to understand. With applying this to each's personal way of playing, the lag and snap come automatically. Really needed this, Thanks.

Man i haven’t seen this channel in AGES, but I’m so glad you’re doing well! These videos were the best thing ever when I started tennis three years ago.

The thing I absolutely like best about your vids is how you tell us to adapt the tips and rules so that they work for each individual player. No idea how helpful it was to learn that I don't have to have a straight elbow on my forehand when it feels way more comfortable to have just a little bend. The bed is OK! Same here with racket position pre-hammer. Thanks TTD.

I'm a bit sad that I can't find such trainers as yourself near where I live, I wish I could!

I actually think I wouldn't understand this video if I wasn't playing wrong for almost a year now, I think this video made it "click" for me now.
I've been trying my own swings, my own grips, copying others swings and positions, but I think none of them (including my very own coach) couldn't explain to me the function of WHY, and the hammer analogy just brought it all together for me.

I've been gathering little info here and there over the last year, but this analogy is the last piece of the puzzle to understand the function it self, now it makes more sense that you can tune the swing using the body as long as you keep to the fundamental of what the video is explaining, awesome video.

If this video ends up helping me (I added it to my favorites so I can run it on repeat and train) I will try to pay back by joining the membership.

One of the few videos that actually made me a difference on court, brilliantly explained. Cheers!

One more fantastic video from the most understandable tennis coach on YouTube, Kevin. I just can't stop thinking how my tennis matches would be like if I had seen your videos 30 years ago. It's never too late though.
Thanks, Kevin!

The fundamental technique comes from a completely relaxed arm, wrist and shoulder. Obviously, the muscle memory has to guide the arm and racquet into the right swing path. That's the hard part: having the arm swing correctly while being completely relaxed at the same time.

You're such a great teacher! Great presentation. Thanks Kevin!

[PeteInTheMatrix]

I was given great advise once for those that have been playing for a bit. To get a more relaxed motion feel and take back, don't think to much but feed a few balls with your forehand grip to your hitting partner and you will naturally pick the motion or take back that suits you. This is great again if you have some foundation but over think the takeback. The second piece that I found helpful along the lines of what you're describing is imagine you're skipping a stone across water. the whip effect of the elbow coming through and relaxing the arm is similar to the modern tennis forehand for guys.

[michaelschaefer]

Man, you're great! Your explanation is fantastic! You don’t have to remind us to stay till the end of the video every two minutes. We'll stay even without those reminders 😊

This man’s a genius. I don’t even play tennis, but I play table tennis at a tournament level, and I’ve always struggled with my forehand. This is both the best theory I’ve run into on forehand fundamentals + such an intuitive drill to translate those fundamentals to one’s body.

[alexandermayer]

Dude, bravo! You are the first online teacher who can clearly present the secret to lag and power. I call the lever/hammer the load. And just like you, I advise newbies to pre-load where you do. I tell them to drive the load, the forearm with the racket lagging almost through impact. This does require the body to turn to deliver the load. The release can be flat, slice or top. Early release of the racket head is pretty much the single biggest error in tennis. You need to get hold of Coco and teach her this; if she doesn’t get this down, she will keep missing forehands by 15 feet and never have a shot at catching Iga. . I am really impressed with your teaching.

[waysaund]

Just to add a little tip to your very helpful video. A lot of people don't lay their wrist back far enough even though they think they do. There are degrees from a bit to all the way back. The less the wrist is back and loose, the more the tendency to "arm" the ball or rely on body rotation. For any player who has basically sound mechanics, just concentrating on getting the wrist back all the way can add considerable spin.

One of the best online coaches ever 💪🏻 thank you so much

[affluencethirdy]

Man, I was not wrong when I subscribed to your channel, you are one of the most sensible tennis coach that I've watch so far. Your explanation about this next gen forehand is ON POINT. I learned a lot from this and applying it to my game.. Im a 4.0 player and im still adjusting and practicing everyday on how to perfect my new FH.

[Ab]

For me it works if i think about launching/ throwing the racquet at the ball instead of hitting/hammering it.

[thenostalgicnewyorker]

This was absolutely BRILLIANT! The explanation and execution of this lesson was flawless. I literally wanna find a court or wall to hit against to practice right now!

[sushmithhiremath]

Best video explaining explaining the fundamentals, and why we do what we do as part of preparation for swinging

[billpoulakis]

This has changed my forehand so much so quickly. My shots are so much more solid and consistent than before. Thank you

LOVEEE what you said about “don’t copy a pro’s motion because you’re really just copying their personality.” YES!! I see so many people copy federer’s swing and style and while yes they achieved it to an eerie and cringy degree, they still haven’t figured out who they are as a player. I’m no coach but I always suggest people to develop their own game and style similar to what you just said. When you try to copy a pro you just look like a copy and never as good as the original. Love this
