Tennis Forehand Technique: How To Create Power And Topspin Without Losing Control

Hitting your forehard harder will turn your forehand into a weapon. WRONG! To truly have a dominant forehand, mastering topspin in the key. Watch Nate share game-changing tips to create spin AND power on your forehand.

All the butt handels will point in a little bit of a different direction through the ball based on the grip. The full western grip in your videos pointed in the same direction. Others don’t. If you get players loose in the beginning of the swing and their grip is not to tight the lag will happen naturally. The biggest problem as it is in golf is to release the lag too early and then players are flipping the toe at the ball. Which by the way is much more prevalent with a western grip. Hence why I don’t like to teach it. Or try to change it if I get the student early enough.

With kids I tend to have them use the "camera" or "flashlight" to ball and mention pat dog for visuals strings down. Swing like a ferris wheel not like a merry go round.

Anyone interested around 3:30 should buy an Aero of 290+ grams to get a feel for the aerodynamic drop. Can add lead

Thanks for the video.
When I hold the racket looser I have a problem with consistency…do you have any secrets to holding the racket loosely, but keeping control/consistency?

Is Nate being sponsored by adidas? Cool video!

I was wondering: do you personally add weight to your Blade (as in lead tape, silicone in the handle, etc).

Heading to the wall right now. I get fired up from your tips and lessons! Thanks again Nate! 👊🙂

Could you please explain one thing for me? At 4:25 when you show the swing you elbow is very in and is somewhere just next to the solar plexus. Where as all the player shorts you are showing have their elbows on the side to the right from their ribs. Is their swing actually different from what you show?

So maintain a loose grip is key, do you tighten at contact? Loved this video, going to watch it 10 times and love all your content! 🙏

Lag is not the right word considering what you’re trying to explain. It should be racket flip instead.
