- This video is about how to get more power on your forehand, by using your hips. I explain what it means to use your hips and how generating racket head speed at contact point is a whole body thing.
I also talk about one of the biggest things that limits adult tennis players and prevents them from using their hips correctly - LACK OF HIP INTERNAL & EXTERNAL ROTATION.
This is a movement that a lot of adults struggle with and need to work on in order to be able to hit a more powerful forehand.
The 2nd half of the video teaches several different drills that players can use to improve hip mobility and control. These drills will help players to get more power on their forehand and other shots. They will also reduce the chance of injuries.

Best FH video on CZcams, brilliant
Glad you found it useful. If your hips are anything like mine use to be, hopefully you'll see a lot improvements from working on them.
Thanks, I know I need to engage the hip. You really expanded my understanding. Thanks. Well done
Just perfect!
Thanks Richard, never seen so much infos about hip rotations, will try and see what happens.
The sequence of events is awesome and l felt it improving and upgrading!
Great stuff, thank you! The kneeling stretches gave me instant relief of chronic right hip (internal) pain related to tennis. Can't wait to get a month of exercise in.
Excellent work Richard. Keep them coming!!
Thanks Oisin, will do! :-)
Very helpful 👏
This is a fantastic video...just what I needed...my friend is a pro who used to play on the pro circuit, and just gave me a lesson on using my hips more. But you were better at explaining how to do it, between you and me, haha!!! Thank you!
very well explained and demonstrated....love your series of the tennis warm ups and exercises videos
Thanks for you comment, glad you enjoyed the videos :-)
Thanks a lot!
Richard, you get the ultimate truth about modern tennis forehand. Keep up the good work and you will be recognized very soon.
love it!
Thanks!
Awesome, I will incorporate all the exercises into my tennis routine. Thank you.
You're so welcome!
Very informative and practical useful 👍
The never ending quest for more flexible hips begins 😀
Great explanation, thanks👏
Thanks, you are welcome
very interesting, thanks Richard
Glad you liked the video.
Hi Richard, I just found your channel. I am new to and in love with tennis. Desperately trying to upgrade my technique ASAP because I am already 56. I found your video full of in-depth knowledge on how and why we move. You are more like giving me a physics lesson. Teaching me how to use my brain to play tennis on top of my limbs and body. I definitely think you are one of the best tennis channels on CZcams. Genuinely believe that soon or later, more and more people will realise that your channel is the gem on tennis. Thanks.
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. Tennis is a hard sport to learn. We all have to practice out technique and study tactics. But we can only use the techniques that our body is capable of using. So become the best player possible, we all need to work on upgrading our physical skills at the sae time.
thank you...very informative and useful tips.....
Happy to hear it helped.
Thank you Richard!! Perfect information, I strugle in my forehand cause of pour use of my hips.
I'm happy you found it useful.
Good stuff 😃
Glad you enjoyed it
This is a great topic! As a 3.5 low level rec player, I have never learned about hip flexion. Not even exactly sure what hip flexion is. Yes, hip flexion is demonstrated clearly in this great video where legs are swinging in the air. *Now hip flexion must be applied to the forehand stroke where both feet are on the ground* .
I have briefly tried this on court. Not sure how to exactly describe it but I will try. I am using a neutral (sideways) stance. Not open stance.
I flex my right hip which creates a strong ground reaction force (GRF). Yes, I can easily feel this strong GRF. My butt sort of juts to the left when performing the hip flexion. And then I step into the forehand stroke. Presumably, I am going from right hip flexion to right hip extension. Driving up from the right ip.
The result: Wow. It is much more powerful.
Glad you found the video helpful.
game changer
This was really good - pointed out to me how my left hip was very good and my right hip pretty terrible in comparison. Nice to see someone point out the direct correlation between a shot and exercises that can be done to improve the movement. Thanks! Would the same knee internal rotation initiating the swing apply to 2h backhand as well?
Glad you found the video helpful. And yes absolutely, hip internal and external rotation are essential on the 2 hander as well. Even if you can only get a few extra degrees of rotation, it translates into the ability to generate extra power.
Nice video. Thanx
Thanks, glad you found it helpful.
PeRFect teaching.many secrets that no one tells. congratulations. you should have 1 million subscribers.i am Radu from Romania and I was very excited to watch this video.please help me with an explanation. what is the succession of chinetic chain.1 internal 2 external and when the arm start to go forward?when the shoulder and chest is tottaly look to the net,stop and at impact all are straight,and then continue rotating all to the end?
happy to say I could do all 3 exercises, the tip about the knee rotating inwards helped me greatly.
I’m jealous, i’ve worked on internal rotation tor years and i still can’t do all 3 😂
Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@TennisHacker I have always been very flexible. I guess it's compensation for being short 😅
Good stuff !!! Can you make a video on getting into a semi open stance to hit forehand.When I watch a pro match I notice pros in that stance more than open or neutral. It is tricky as you completely turn shoulders but in between open and neutral turn of hips. Very few videos on semi open stance !
I think about the open and semi open stance as slight variation of the same thing.
I’ve got videos on wide balls and short forehands that cover it.
thanks for this. i've been going to physio for back and ribcage pain from overusing my upper body. my physio said my hips were super tight, and i've been doing stretches to mobilize them. i definitely have never been taught anything about my hips or how they rotate before. i have a clarifying questuon, though. should i be loading in external rotation, and then internally rotating, to drive through the shot? or should i be loading IN internal rotation, and driving through the shot? loading with internal rotation feels very counter-intuitive to me, and i worry i'm going to hurt my hip somehow.
good stuff
Thanks
This channel will grow
Thanks, I hope so :-)
You are best
Not sure about that, but thanks. Glad you liked the video :-)
Great video and thank you so much. Could internal rotation be achieved by simply rotate the top of the back feet?
Glad you liked you it. I'm not sure what you meant by your question, but there are lots of ways to train internal rotation.
@@TennisHacker Could internal rotation be achieved simply by pivoting the back foot ?
Really great info! I don’t see the cheat sheet you mentioned. Am I missing something ? Thanks for your unique content!
I might have removed by mistake editing things, can you remind me what it was about?
@@TennisHacker There was meant to be a cheat sheet with just the mobility exercises. Perhaps I have missed the link, or it never made it to the page? You mention it near the end of this wonderful video. Thanks!
Great Tutorial Richard . Barely found this info on youtube. In the clubs nobody teaching about it.Most of the kids play with the power of the hands and cant swing free after 2-3 marches because the are struggle with injures.
Any limitation from physic stand point on hips rotation for kids 14 yo ?
Hi Dave, glad you found the video helpful. Most of the juniors I've worked with (even high level) have had major movement limitations and as you accurately pointed out, sooner or later it leads to injury. I'd be happy to talk with you, if you want to email me - richard@tennishacker.net, we can set up a time to talk.
In no universe is the arm of a normal healthy human of any age stronger than their legs, hips & core.
3:40 discusses internally rotating the knee and internally rotating the leg (which I take to mean the hip).
So I take it these two movements, internal knee rotation and internal hip rotation, occur together simultaneously? 🤔
Or are these two separate independent movements?
Yes, the only problem is - this hip driving is easy to understand and it makes so much sense so you practice it, then comes somebody like Patrick Mouratoglou and tells you don’t throw your hips, it’s all hand and hips will follow. You then watch again top pro’s and think it may actually be something to it.
He is a very famous coach, but his comments about the leading seem contrary to accepted biomechanics and to pretty much every coach I have studied. I would check out Rick Macci and Dr brain gordon. Macci was involved in Serena's development as a junior,.
For the platform stance trophy position, the weightshould be distributed 60/40 on the back foot, as per Dr Mark Kovacs. One can then think of "launching the right hip at the ball". From this trophy launch position should the hip be in an internally rotated position? Or should the hip be in an externally rotated position?
Honestly, exactly what happens will depend on how your body moves. And which part of the trophy position.
Una clase de pilates
At 3:48 you say first you internally rotate the right leg from an externally rotated position and then push through. But why even place your leg in the externally rotated position to begin with? Why not already place your leg down during the set up in an internally rotated position so it's ready to push through immediately?
Great question, you won't be intentionally externally rotating your leg. But it's some thing that often happens as part of your preparation and loading of your legs. So what ever position you start your drive from, your knee will cave slightly into internal rotation.
At 4:51 you mention a video (with link down below) helping with the vision system. Is it the masterclass one? Or one of your excellent videos in the vision playlist? (czcams.com/play/PL6Tylc10sxlOVXWTHNNdlk7ncuu1c1l3N.html) Really loved the Femoral Nerve flossing in this one. Didn't realise how much I needed it!
It looks like I've messed the links up, so take a look :-)
Its internal rotation of the hips right? The knee itself does not rotate hopefully? Anything to do with knees gets me a bit scared.
Yes it's internal rotation of the hips. But the knees do have small ability to rotate and nothing to be scared of. Quite the opposite, it's something to be practiced :-) This video will help with that part czcams.com/video/ZN0iSHT8Gnc/video.html
this shouldn't happen often though because your knee must ALWAYS be in line with the middle toes otherwise you could cause a knee injury, right? its what I've heard from other articles
Injuries are complicated subjects, but it would be impossible to keep your knees in line with the middle toes when playing tennis.
