One of the best forehand lessons ever, actually teaches you the drills you can do.

If someone wants to improve his/her forehand, this is the perfect lesson. I have improved my forehand lately before seeing this video. The change corresponds exactly with what Kevin taught in his video.
Kevin, you are a good teacher 👍

What a great analysis! Another important aspect of Djokovic's forehand is the elbow elevation during the unit turn. It stays almost at same level of his shoulders. It helps to keep the racket at same side of the body during the swing phase.

In all my tennis sessions what you explained me in 12 minutes nobody has ever explained me this in perfect footage . Thank you very much! You explained this in such simple steps!

Hey Kevin. Tons of gold packed into 12 minutes. I've got to watch this over and over again...then execute the instruction. Thanks for the insights.

I love watching these videos that get HIGHLY technical but, Djokovic could be like “dude I’m just hitting the ball”

[chris_g_vibes]

This video is/was very instructional. I watched it twice and drew an illustrated sketch with words on main points: Front-Turn-Drop-Rotate. Many Thank Yous

Very good analysis! I am 70 years old but never learned tennis properly. I have not come close to mastering all 6 points. But the unit turn and the three fingered grip has definitely improved my forehand. Never heard a better explanation about the position and purpose of the left hand (right hand for lefties).

I wish more people were clear communicators like this. Well done!

[vijayyadavs]

Kevin, You are a genius. You have covered all aspects of tennis step by step for beginners like me to play twnnis and enjoy the game without having to have injuries. There is no one better than you, to decipher this game.

Don't forget that Djokovic is an excellent skier (his father was a ski instructor) and with that he masters upper to lower body separation.

this is one of the best forehand description videos I have ever watched

[dirtywashedupsparkle]

I've only realised recently how different this forehand is to whatever I grew up watching in the 80s and 90s - thanks for talking us through this and telling us what is happening at each point in the shot. Apart from watching ivdeos of players in slo-mo it's also similar discoveries about how differently badminton shots are made to what I thought they were - not that they're at all the same, but once you examine the anatomy of a shot you realise it's a whole different principle at work. If anything's similar there it's that the shot is relaxed most of the way, the body is used with a windup action release, and a bent arm is really helpful in ensuring that snap happens.

kevin, you are a great analyst and you also make your explanations chrystal clear, which is rare and precious.

[raulllodra]

GREAT analyasis ! Love the technic description and way to teach

[robertstar]

Great explanations, thanks and Djokovic is quite the Master Player to learn from.

[DavidBartosik]

Awesome Kevin. You're articulating it so well, with so much detail. I'm as impressed with that as I am with the information. And, all so effortlessly... Like that forehand.

[surerforever]

Probably the best of all videos on forehand technique! Thank you.

[RandomZShorts]

Love seeing people learing from the one and only goat!
