Finally an appreciation of Ruud's forehand. Thank you Ryan @2MinuteTennis
Just watched him in the semi and the final in NY. His forehand was definitely at par with Alcaraz
Yep i was at the final completely agree.
on par with Alcaraz how? in your dreams bud
@@deathbombs yea bud I was courtside at Open final were u ? Yea.
@@williamsannuto8239 I was at semis watching his ass actually. And I was measuring Alcaraz power by standing next to him
@@deathbombs screw u MOFO
I've been a fan of him since this US OPEN. Thanks a lot to explaining his forehand slowly. From South Korea 🇰🇷
Awesome explanation, love it
Thanks Ryan, love these short analysis videos. The US Open final was great, Ruud looked the better of the 2 for sets 1-3 until the tie break.
Great videos man!
Super super video! Thank you sir!
great video. do you have any videos of forehands of players with semi-western grip?
Good lesson in forehand and grip
great analysis very enjoyable. Casper does everything perfect.
This is a small point, but I've seen it in a number of videos, so thought I'd share in case it's helpful for others. For split stepping, I find it more helpful to think about JUMP timing, rather than "being in the air" or "landing" timing.
So, I try to jump when the racket is starting its backswing. It gives me something specific to look for on any stroke from my opponent. Otherwise my instinct is to jump at or after contact. Thinking about "being in the air" at contact is a little too late for me.
I 100% agree with you. I’ve mentioned that same thing in many, many videos. That jumping prior to then hitting will produce what you’re looking for. Thanks!!
@@2MinuteTennis thank you so much for the reply! I'm an avid subscriber and always look forward to your next video.
@@lyndseyandandrew5771 so glad you like the videos. Thank you for the support!
Great video. Thanks.
Ruud has a 2 min inside out forehead analysis on ATP tour channel.
If even after watching this video you got doubts ig you can check out that one.
Great vid mate
i watch this video 1000 times so i supose now i will be having ruud forehand when i step into practice.
Best technical coach
Thank you so much Stu
Do you recommend his grip style to rec players? If not, why? Thanks 🙏
Hey Ryan love your vids! For the next Q&A please could you talk about the tennis aspects of tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) management. Eg racket weight, string tensions, technical aspects, strength training the forearm and traps etc.. thanks!
just buy a clash and strung below 50lbs
Your question has two answers in my experience. I play at least 4x weekly at a high level with full poly and have little to no issues. If you are healthy and want to prevent tennis elbow, then I would suggest choosing a frame with a stiffness of 64 or below. A slightly heavier frame weight is better in my opinion, but only up to what you can handle. I play at 338g and 332 sw with no issues. For someone else it may be slightly less or more, it is player specific. Just increase or decrease in small increments. Another important item is loose, grip and wrist. Not only will that help your forearm, but will increase racquet head speed. Multi, natural and synthetic gut are softer strings even at higher tensions that are safe. If you must use poly strings either hybrid them with a softer string or string full beds below 50 pounds. Stay away from poly with stiffness ratings over 200 in a full bed. TennisWarehouse has all the ratings. I use Cyclone Tour at 46 pounds crossed with TierOne Ghostwire at 44. Super soft setup for full poly.
If you already have elbow issues, all of the above except don’t use poly at all until if heals. A great tool for preventing and healing tennis elbow is called the Theraband FlexBar, which can be bought online. I use it several times a week. Daily forearm stretches help too and you can look them online from physical therapists.
@@eincan1313 thanks so much! Play at club team level 3x/week.. have been doing since strength training and wearing tape and strap but still have (non deteriorating) elbow issues. Hadn't a clue about the racket weight and string type and tension.. will try these and the product you recommend!
@@rohitpratap4174 No problem. Looks like you currently have issues. Don’t use any poly until it heals. Club level, you are not getting much benefit from it anyway as you need lots of racquet head speed. I would use a multifilament or synthetic gut in the mid 50’s for awhile and see if that helps along with the exercises. Natural gut is great too, but pricey.
@@eincan1313 thanks. You mentioned loose grip and I believe I do have. In fact having played a lot of badminton others tell me my style is very akin to that, lots of slice, drops and volleys. I'm not great at consistently driving from the baseline with power. My racket is super lightweight with recommended string tensions of 57-63. Do you think I should get a heavier framed racket (that's still manageable) with looser string tensions and learn to play a different style of tennis, more power/drives than slice and dice (I am presuming I'd lose a degree of control with the looser tensions) or do you think I should learn the correct technique with a coach then change equipment? Chicken and egg!
Hello Ryan when I see your video , I would like to know if it is the same for the backhand ? Could you answer me please ?
Thank you!! Could we have a similar breakdown of Shapovalov forehand, including the grip? Loved how you correctly pointed out the halfway grip between Western and Semi Western. With Shapo you are likely to see something halfway from Eastern to Semi Western, perhaps closer to the semi. Looking forward! Subscribed.
czcams.com/video/X06NQijye-w/video.html around 0:43 gives a great view.
Perhaps even better for clearer video: czcams.com/video/8g9tZfYYPzI/video.html (2:13-2:14 gives a clear shot)
Hey Ryan..Great videos as always!...I'm a little confused though...on the initial racket takeback where the "strings face the crowd", should the racket tip be pointed straight up in the air ("2 heads")? Or should the racket be angled towards the ground as I've seen you mention in another video?....in which situation should it be straight up or angled down?...thanks in advance buddy
It really doesn't matter
@@dastanprobg2071 Thanx Dastan!
Wow! Great ❤
Forehand gold. Can't wait to try body drop with racquet drop. If I can use either size 4 or 5 which would you have me choose to keep grip relaxed? Thanks!
Thank you Jeff! You're one of my best subscribers for sure!
I love the video. However the grip analysis has me confused. How can the heel pad and the index knuckle both be on the bottom corner of of panel 4?
I’m not sure what you mean by “how”? Do you mean how can you hold that grip and hit the ball over the net? If that’s what you mean, you have to hit with your palm facing the sky at contact.
Seeing is easy, doing is not easy.
In the freeze frame at 2:31 it looks to me like his knuckle is full western? Can't tell where his heel pad is, maybe 4.5.
On the corner. Thanks!
2MinuteTennis is right - I have closely watched other videos - this one is a bit hard to tell, but the grip is indeed midway between both.
Which is the app you use for make this video?
I use “coach’s eye” but it’s no longer available. You can get OnForm at it’s exactly the same (actually it’s better). Thanks!
@@2MinuteTennis thank you so much for your help
Could you do an analysis on his backhand and point out why it's so much less effective than his forehand?
So if we don’t stay low, I was told by my coach the ball will fly or go out
2 minute tennis, more like 2 hour tennis
Is Facebook a book of faces?
@@2MinuteTennis do you love the sound of your voice? Get to the analysis
@@AJ-iu6nw hahahahahahhaha
I thought I was an alien for using that same grip.
His forehand is awesome but i want see him to hit high ball forehand to understand his backswing
It's so funny... I totally get HOW to do these epic forehand shots... but I cannot seem to replicate them on the court, and I think the main reason is that I always f*ck my timing up. It seems like the window of time that they're working with here is absolutely tiny. Like milliseconds of error. EDIT: This is ESPECIALLY true when I'm playing a match. I get so unconfident because of the speed of the ball, that I cant get anywhere close to hits like this. I end up doing a more traditional style loop.
Interesting but he does change his grip .
His grip is very western, why you say that it is not, in fact his grip would be a difficult shot for low balls.
So that I can get a better understand your definition of a “western grip”, how do you describe a western grip?
Why not completely cover the net? It will force them to hit over the net. This is as a drill or practice.
Lots of expalantion!!!
You analyzed a high ball so his body moved low to high to hit it.
He's brushing up the back of the ball.
kinda underpowered
His technique is easily copied by amateur players. Really nice forehand.
Looks like an open stance and he is hitting it kinna late 😅
Bad
Thanks for watching!
Too much talking and showed nothing.
At 5:56 he has his buttcap pointed at the ball and his wrist is relaxed and in an extended position. And the racquet head lags the hand. From that buttcapp pointing position to contact his wrist will remain in an extended position. In other words, there will be very little to no wrist flexion movement from buttcap pointing position to contact. The racquet head catches up with the hand via forearm pronation, internal shoulder rotation, horizontal shoulder adduction and perhaps a bit of wrist radial deviation. But there will be very little to no wrist flexion movement from buttcap pointing position to contact. 🤔
