HOW TO HIT TOPSPIN LIKE HALEP

IMPROVE YOUR TOPSPIN FOREHAND (Read Below)
•
1️⃣ Create Racket Speed - Use a “C Swing” to increase your racket speed. Spin craves speed...and anytime you can increase your racket speed it’ll help you make the ball spin faster.
•
2️⃣Close Your Racket Face - Point your strings down slightly as you drop the racket. This will allow you to consistently hit the back of the ball for accuracy.
•
3️⃣Swing Low to High - Rather than swinging toward your target, swing from below the ball to above the ball. This will impart the topspin you’re looking for to increase confidence and consistency.

EXCELLENT TEACHING THAT MY FOREHAND NEEDED! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE COMPLEX MECHANICS OF THE FOREHAND AND MAKING IT SIMPLE.

Ryan, useful videos, love your style of explaining. Love to meet you sometime.

Hello, swing is swing, but can we speak about contact point -pure hitpoint. Here we have a lower ball so the racket is perfect 90degree to the ground (1)_|_ This is my confusion between that and this set up (2)_/_. What it depends on?the height of a hit, the grip or the style? Halep and Diocko they play 1. Federer would hit most balls with 2. It also produces different style of drive throug after. From 1 you rather go with stiff wrist throughout the hit and seconds after. With 2 Federer follow his racket more towards the net, under his nose...

Good stuff, a video out there somewhere has removed the ball but you can still see impact for all the top pro's, very cool stuff

[albalenssen]

Good explanation, easy to understand. Well done

[dulagadu]

best video for forehand ..!! can we use same for regular one as well ???

[paulorogerio]

Inclua na instrução o giro rápido do antebraço pegando a bola (mentalmente) por baixo, por trás e por cima. O giro do antebraço se assemelha ao limpador de parabrisas.

Wta forehand not atp but probably good for most people in mid range usta

[azmikocaker]

Man you’re really the best. Everything that happens in a split second, you simplify and break it down so us mortals can understand. Thank you.

She is turning her torso toward the net which brings her hand and racquet to the ball. It is a torso rotation not swinging arms.

I am also a tennis player thanks for nice information

[ElSupremo]

does the upward trajectory happen naturally or do you direct it?

[mihai]

what is the name of the shot analysis program

[chrisbreezy-ryanbarbosa]

Gorgeous. Also the forehand looks nice too

[ammarsyed]

Who is the player, has amazing technique

[FishRfun]

She's got an insanely open grip. I used a pretty open grip and hit a lot of top spin, but hers is outrageous

Old school forehand. Move to a more modern swing for better utilization of energy and flow. I don't know why more coaches aren't teaching the modern footwork and strokes.

You're explaining how a top spin is generated but I don't find this useful to actually learn how to hit one. No player should focus on where the racket head is and especially about the follow through motion (as it comes naturally).
If you need more spin, you need a more upward trajectory on the swing (btw, I don't find that you need a letter C motion as you're showing). A player can focus on that and put it practice. Also, you need more hand speed fore sure, especially if you want to get out of difficult situation. That's it. Of course, a good topsin will come from a correct body position, body rotation and hitting the ball at the right time (not too late, not too early).
