CONGRATS GRANT AND ENDLESS THANKS, TOO. 40 YEARS IN TENNIS AND STILL GRAPPLING WITH MY FOREHAND. UNTIL I STUMBLED UPON THIS VIDEO OF YOURS. FROM TODAY, WILL BE A MORE CONFIDENT, BETTER, AND HAPPIER PLAYER!!!

[FairwayJack]

The FH fwd swing starts with the torso/shoulders unwinding ... once torso is facing opposite court, it stops and the shoulders alone continue onwards ... this flings the hitting arm out powerfully

[tradingwithwill]

That shoulder/chest stretch is key! I started snapping some quicker forehand shots right after doing this (in VR). thanks so much!

Mid 30's rec player (USTA 4.5) here. I've had some pretty good tennis level ups the past 2-3 years, but have been stagnating/worsening or maybe not committing my aha moments/changes to muscle memory over the past 2ish months. I was watching one of your vids and really liked your methodology for breaking down specific check points so I tried this out for 2 drill sessions (~4 hrs) and honestly wasn't finding any meaningful success.

People were saying I already do these things and my forehand has plenty of weight (pace/spin) behind it. I went back and rewatched a different video of yours (older, 8 months ago) that showed the snippets of the pro's doing it and one thing I noticed that I haven't seen you talk about (but were doing) was your footwork/stance. I've always done an open stance, as that's what they always said to do, but my stance has historically been very horizontal. Wide, leg driven, but still very horizontal. I noticed in EVERY clip, you and the pro's were more semi-open 45 degree angled so I set out tonight to practice just that, every forehand contact I could reasonably do, semi-open, left leg slightly out in front, right leg behind angled approx. 45 degrees.

In 2 hours, my consistency, shape, pace and spin all improved DRAMATICALLY. I am not kidding. My unit turn felt considerably more natural, my footwork felt easier. my rally balls were nearing my previous put away shots pace despite having noticeablly more margin. No one freaking told me I was doing this poorly/wrong so thanks for helping me get there.

I did notice you didn't have ANY videos on the 1H backhand. I'd love to see a video on that as it's definitively my worst shot right now from a competition standpoint. It's okay as a put away, but falls apart under a deep/chest+ height heavy ball thrown at it repeatedly. I suspect there's probably a few missing "a ha's" I'm not considering on it. Sorry for the book. but helping my comment helps someone else or drives some value to you.

Hello! I'm Felipe from Brazil, and I'm writing to thank you for this video. After watching it, I practiced several times alone at home. The next day, I played with my friend and I can confidently say that I improved 100% compared to my last game. The tip about the elbow helped me immensely, and I saw a significant improvement in my speed ball game. Most importantly, I no longer experience any pain in my arm and elbow when I hit the ball.😁

Drill 2 is A lot of teachers are good, but we need the breakdown like this.

02:15 shows internal shoulder rotation on the forehand setup. It is the exact same biomechanical motion that we see on the serve as we use internal shoulder rotation to swing up to contact from the racquet drop position.

This guy is a great coach. If you wanna develop these things... it really does take persistence and constant visualisation... re-evaluation and refining. Gotta be committed. But when you do get your technique down... it fuels your postivity on court allowing you to be more confident in your strokes and have a winning mindset.

[edgarvelarde]

Great class, I knew that my problem was the backwing; and after this video, I understand how to execute it. Thanks so much. Congrats!!!

[fuzziepandas]

love these tips. ive taken lessons for years. Never heard of half of this. Great stuff grant, this will get me over the 4.0 to 4.5 hump

[tw]

Wow I just realized I was misunderstanding the whole process of powerful swing! Thank you very much. No one told me about this

[yoongwu]

Dude, the second drill made a breakthrough in my forehand which I have been struggling with forever. Thank you! Love the tips and the energy!

[trantronganhtu]

this lesson is excellent, you are a genius coach and very difficult to learn I love it

[Zenon-fgdw]

Fantastic analysis and tips. Can’t wait to try it.

[TheSmartodd]

Beautifully done - so many good take aways!!

[drippyrice]

This really changes my perspective, I really thought it was about using your wrist and arm but instead it’s actually the pecks. Thank you

[davegrohl]

Id add 4th drill that i learned from another video and it boosted my FH aswell. When you move from the starting position, make sure your hand is bend in approximately 90°. It was hard to focus on at first but after a few tens of shots i managed to shoot some serious bombs. Anyways i love your tutorials!

[franciscomanrique]

GRACIAS por el desgrane.
Explicación detallada y exhaustiva !! 👏🏽👏👏

[cliveburks]

Thanks Grant excellent description and demonstration I am in my sixties but can still move around fast etc I am working on hitting a flatter ball to conserve energy I think I can use your technique to do that I may reduce some of the leg movement and just drive through the ball using my eastern forehand grip rather than up.

Thanks Grant! Most helpful for me was the first point regarding the arm being in line with the back hip. I was hit and miss on feeling the flip at the right time: this was a nice checkpoint which made the rest follow naturally since I had the right shape of the rest of the stroke.
