Jeff suggests getting on your front foot to attack your tennis forehand when the ball is in the middle of the court and in your strike zone, instead of using an open or semi-open stance and pulling off the ball after contact.

He recommends using an open stance footwork to attack the ball with your tennis topspin forehand when the ball is high and above shoulder level. Likewise, Jeff advises loading the outside leg and rotating to the back leg after contact.

The second scenario where he considers important to use an open stance footwork is when the ball is coming fast at you. Hence, you can create space away from the ball. The next scenario to open up your stance is when you are running out wide to hit your tennis forehand.

To conclude, the height of the ball will determine whether you step in or use an open stance to hit your tennis groundstrokes. Jeff encourages you to practice these fundamental footwork patterns on and off the court to dramatically transform your tennis game.

One of the best videos that i came across this year

[marksolovey]

Another instructional gem! This set of footwork tips for different types of forehand makes so much sense in terms of proper balance, spacing, and contact point.

[robertonunez]

Simply Perfect Jeff !! Thank you very much!!

[MahaVeerbathmaraju]

As always great work, absolutely loved the video

[Ryuk]

Great stuff. Trying to integrate more neutral stance myself and this is a great video to explain why.

[claudioprado]

A very useful tip.thank you Jeff, the right footwork is so important.

[SportSkillWonder]

absolutely awesome instructional video!

[Mb-nrjw]

Amazing video about forehand foorwork i have biggest problems with. Thank You !!!!

[franz]

Thanks for this great video Jeff. Footwork is so important... and remember, Tennis is like a dance ;) 🎾🐐JS

This video is amazing. These are the exact things I've recently tried implementing in my own game. I've had a tendency to hit the ball on the back foot too often and I've now started incorporating this into my game and on the days I'm able to properly implement this, im able to get more pace and control the court better.

[axelhorstedt]

Great video! I really struggle with this.

[joeldina]

Unwittingly, practice wise ..perfect with the right stance...but..sometimes been hitting the wrong way once in play..will have to focus on your shared video..just like hitting a golf ball.move forward not the other way..great vid..keep it coming Jeff!!!!

[mainemceachern]

Thanks Jeff! More quality instruction. Your point around 6:30 re hitting with an open stance from wide positions is perhaps best illustrated by Novak Djokovic, who's a master at the big lateral lunge and slide that allows him to hit square-to-the-ball, open-stance shots even when defending out wide.

[hustlingdhruv]

That makes total sense. Most people do the opposite of what they should be doing.

[jithboy]

You are mind Reader love all of your videos I won match today in academy by your tutorials thank you coach keep going

[Whisper]

Yeah too many people misunderstand why the pros step back on their shots.

Sometimes you don't want to add power to the ball, but take a little bit off.

Most people including quite a few pros do not use their feet properly in the first place to even do anything being asked of in this video.

The only problem with stepping forward is that some people misinterpret stepping forward at EXACTLY the same time of their swing instead of swing THEN step. That being said, for a habitual non-rotator (arm only) or step backer, I will take stepping forward at the same time to exaggerate undoing their bad habits.

[bradstark]

Like button smashed with a closed stance.

[karadale]

My coach who’s also a former ATP player has made the exact same points recently on my forehand footwork.
Thanks Jeff.

Le tennis c'est comme la danse un ballet de jeu de jambes Leçon retenue Thank U guy awesome video

[Chris_Sheridan]

Notice Federer's forehand stance - the majority are open-stance which allows good upper body rotation ..
