As an absolute beginner (only been playing roughly 2 months) I incorporated the "racket catch" finish into my strokes after watching this video and I've already noticed a significant difference in power. I love how it encourages you to use your hips/core to turn all the way through the shot, versus relying too much on arm strength. Plus it just feels so much better to finish that way, at least for me. It's really helped me build confidence in my forehand and although I still have a very long ways to go I feel it's a significant step in the right direction.
Hi coach ! I'm watching your videos from Morocco 🇲🇦 i want to thank you a lot ! Your tutos helped me so much!! . Just keep going 🤟👌
Thank you for your videos!!
Thank you, Meike! 😊💖
Yes, I’ve been working on this for a year or so now. Makes such a difference with my coil.
Hi Meike, I've been watching your videos a lot lately and it has helped me to elevate my game to a whole new level. I'm really enjoying these short videos you publish focusing on little things one at a time. If you can, can you create a video on your tactics on hitting a stable smash/overhead? Mostly, how to smash while stepping back or running back forward and mainly sideways. Where to hit, how to aim, where to look, how to know when to hit a smash, angles, at what places of the court should I not hit a smash and how to position myself as an amateur. Perhaps this may be an idea for multiple videos. Thank you.
Excellent tip. Thank you 👌
Thank you for this well-explained video instruction. Question...have you ever addressed the bent arm/straight arm issue in detail in any your forehand videos?
Great video. Thanks
Well explained. Good stuff.
Omg, i really appreciate this video. This is my problem and i cant reprogramming myself.
love that tight rope walk analogy! 🙂
:) I’ve been using the off-hand improperly for years. Thank you for this video, everything makes sense regarding it giving balance. I will try to implement it going forward!
Thank you for excellent description, I am even more stressing that it enables absolute relaxation of dominant hand/ your dead fish description/, as it enables to transfer kinetic chain from body to follow into arm like whiplash, which diferentiate pros against amateur players
Great advice to point out the off-hand's help during rotation. That's one thing I am working on right now, because I do lack power on my forehand. It seems to me that if you coil as much as Djokovic, Alcaraz, and many others, there is no way to NOT have your non-dominant arm somewhat engaged, because it really has to get out of the way.
cette technique est efficace
My “feel” is the left shoulder rotating up, back, and around. I don’t think most pros think about where their left hand is in space. Like your deep dive into the biomechanics.
Good topic.
I know this is not the main point of this video, but if the racquet head is up on take back it will be more down when you rotate the forearm clockwise, plus it is more laid-back. Does that make sense? Always appreciate how clear your instructions are. Thanks.
It's very clear in theory. How would you suggest to train and to engrain it in muscle memory?
