Awesome Tips! I loved this video great content. I subscribed and liked this video
Thanks Dylan!! Welcome to Connecting Tennis! :)
Fabulous!
great-job, gaston!!!
Thanks Oscar!
Agree with each word. I would also add that it took more than a month of making similar drill until I started to feel whole motion and hit ball well. I think time is needed for pronation muscle in hand to develop ... this move is also accelerated by leg push and this also takes time to sync.
Gaston, please do similar lesson for backhand. How right and left arms are working together.. its mentioned by many but explained by nobody. This would help me a lot.
thanks again, always happy to watch your videos!
Hey Alexander! Thanks a lot for your message! Yes you might need some time to develop good muscle for the pronation.. specially good hand speed to be able to pronate fast on some situations!
I will def do the same video for one handed and two handed backhand! Thanks a lot!
THANK you for the vidéo I tried on myself and it works well
Great to hear that!! Thanks to you!!
Show de bola Gaston!! Parabéns!! Quando puderes fazer o mesmo vídeo em português também. Abraços!
Gaston, me gusto mucho tu explicación y demonstracion. Existe alguna posibilidad que te pueda mandar un video mío para que me des algunos consejos para mi derecha? Te lo agradecería muchísimo. Saludos desde Utah, EEUU.
Thanks Gaston!
Thanks to you!!
Thanks!
Thanks to you! :)
why teachers don´t teach this SIMPLE but SUPER important Steps ?? don´t know but THANKS Gaston Super!!
I am learning about the table top position of the forehand. It doesnt seem you encourage it. How come?
I do love the tip to allow the arm to fall away at the wrist. Really great and brings the swing naturally back, down and around. That really helped.
Hey Jason! You mean that table that is 45 degrees and you push the ball up like imitating the movement of topspin? If it's that one, I don't actually like it because that will take power out of your ball and it might complicate you on low balls. I have talked about this with several coaches, since I like to discuss the best ways of learning and we all had some sort of agreement that doing that drill isolated by itself without a proper explanation that the movement would not apply to the general forehand hitting might bring some confusion.
Thanks a lot for the comment, glad you liked it! Yes, that's the idea, create natural and relaxed strokes. Try to take all that stiffness of the strokes so the movement can flow better! Thanks a lot!
@@ConnectingTennis I think he means racket closed, strings facing down at end of the backswing.
Hello! at 9:45 you say you get from under, then hit the ball, and then pronate. So you don't actively use your forearm muscles to pronate and hit the ball, right? maybe for short balls or slow balls should you pronate actively?
Will contact at 45° send the ball into the net? I thought at contact the racket is always close to vertical
Gaston, thanks for the video. Tomorrow I will apply your advises. Regarding the face of the racket at contact. If you open the link below of Federer who, by the way, is playing with an estern forehand grip, he seems he is closing the racket quite much. Indeed his balls are not arcing over the net rather they are straight. I am facing the same dilema. Also on other channel (I am not wathing only you but you are one my favourites), there is a theory that if you hit a little bit below the sweet spot the racket will twist by itself thus closing up the angle and hence creating topspin. Thank you! PS: czcams.com/video/qnPybKyDmS4/video.html
Hi Dan. Thanks for you comment. Yes, the face at contact it's very tricky. Most of the times I hit with a flat face and then pronate faster to get more power. Now, for short angles I admit the face will not be to flat (also depending from where I hit it). What I wanted to mean with this, is that there are many videos out there just showing somebody pushing the ball on a bench let's say with the face 45 degrees. That's a little tough to imagine because realistically you don't get that closed to impact. Federer with eastern grip is a different matter yes. Like del potro wouldn't fit into this with his grip either. But if you get the semi-western pros you will see that at maybe 90% of the balls they get to contact with the face flat (or almost completely flat). Thanks a lot for you comment man! :)
Why can't we use the same kind of arms and racquet sequence fot the backhand as in the forehand? The ball doesn't know the difference and the laws of physics are the same.
You mean use the same example for the backhand of dropping the racquet before impact? Sure we can! :)

Ultra100 is not the best racket to teach topspin, maybe it is the best for flat forehand! 😅
Hmm I like it for spin.. head 100, easy to handle and accelerate! But yes, it has some awesome power for flat shots!
Connecting Tennis I like the colors and Id like to replace my pure drive (too heavy for me) with this ultra 100.
@@ConnectingTennis how stiff is that ultra ??
