If you're looking for tennis forehand tips on technique, the swing and stances and you have no one to play with, look no further.
In this video you'll learn 7 forehand tips starting with balance, body rotation, what's the best position for the arm and the wrist and how to practice neutral and open stance forehands.
You can work on different parts of the forehand technique just on your own with a hopper of balls.
You'll also learn how to accurately drop the ball and orient yourself in space with the 3 x 45 degrees guidelines which helps you position your backswing and forehand follow-through.

This lesson is pure gold. Clear solid structure of the lesson: from fundamentals to the detail, from basic to complex.
I didn't have an idea about most of the nuances here. The title is not a clickbait, this is truly a lesson for self-practice. Bravo!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
Latino from USA. Tomas has such a great set of videos on tennis technique and prectices. I play these videos often to catch each gem of wisdom.
You can't find this valuable information even if you hire a coach face-to-face. We're lucky Tomaz uploading great videos. Priceless..
thank you. for truly free tennis lesson. most do not have the money to pay for a coach. Please keep all your tennis teaching truely free for all .
Tomaz has an engineering mind that he uses to dissect the small nuances of succesful tennis strokes and make the concepts understandable. Brilliant.
This guy is the best teacher😄
Tomas, hi, I'm 72.5yy. Been "playing tennis" once every few years with a friend who plays 3x per week. 2 are lessons. A week ago, I took part of a lesson with him, and got the bug. Didn't know what to do, or where to go. Ended up here. Watched the video a few times, wrote down the points, went to an empty court with an old racket that he gave me, and a bag(my hopper) of balls he gave me. At the end of 1 & 1/4hrs, following your directions, I was getting the ball in the opposite box, at least 50% of the time. Thanks so much for this video. Don't know where to go next, but I'll just stay here for now. Work on form and technique, right?
Im 45yo and just started playing tennis and I needed this, i cant wait to practice on my own. Thnx a Lot. Ive been watching ALL your vídeos . Hello from Brazil.
no one teaches the fundamentals better than you tomaz!
This is amazing. I’ve paid for classes where I haven’t learned a quarter of what you have offered to us for free here. Thank you.
another gem Coach Tomas ...thanks
Perfect lesson. Just perfect fundamentals.
Excelent tips. Loved the 45° analogy in backswing and followthrough.
Also, instead of the classical "early preparation", with the racquet pointing at the back fence, now it's a relaxed vertical position of the racquet with a relaxed arm and wrist. The racquet is still "taken back" but in a more relaxed position, ready to drop and "lag" when you start the forward
rotation of the body. Balancing the butt of the racquet on the pinky finger is an excelent tip. Now we not only can practice serve with a basket of balls, we can train the forehand also.
Thanks for the great video.
Great to see you posted a new interesting video in the beginning of this year. Hope to see you posting more like this. You are an awesome instructor. The best!!
This is brilliant instruction! So well presented and easily understood. Thank you!
Thank you for the great details! Excellent content!
Best instructor online. Thanks Thomas.
Always solid advice from you Tomaz. I use your ideas with my own game and with teaching. Honestly anyone can improve their tennis game by watching your videos. You teach the basic concepts that many people tend to skip or simply overlook. If you go to pro level tournaments....(even the men )you can at times see coaches simply dropping balls for their player. There's a reason for that!
Really like this video with the foot to arm sequence and the focus on the comfort. I cannot wait for a video with the same concept applied to 1-handed backhand
Ditto on the one-handed BH
Congratulations Tomaz for keeping this amazing work. Another great video!
Thanks a lot for all your videos.
Absolutely brilliant and exactly what I needed! Thanks Tomaz, keep 'em coming!
Like that zoom in. Thanks for filming this video!
Thanks Thomaz. I am looking for this content for a long time.
Really well explained. Thanks for posting
Hi Thomas,
Fantastic coaching & ur spoon feeding ,also well spoken & a gifted teacher.
Thx
Love your video! Can’t wait to try everything out tomw!
Thankyou!!!! Wonderful master class!!! Very well explained.
Thank you for the share, u are one of the best coaches.
Thanks for explaining the two weight-shift ways in the open stance forehand! I have been confused by this for a long time!
This selftraining video are very important because it makes you to be undependand of having a opponent to hid with, and you have time to do it slow and right .
That’s the most complete and helpful video teaching about forehand! Thank you so much!
Hi Tomaz, what an awesome video another good one for beginners even for the advanced also. I been following you for past 2 years, you always had a very good content and helping players like me. My apologies not to thanking you but I been sharing your videos to my friends helping with their tennis. Thank you and please share more tips for us. Appreciate it.
I worked on part one today - just the basic footwork. Already a major improvement in my swing! Thanks again!
Very good basics lesson for those of us who need to break bad habits and for beginners and intermediate players
Another great video Tomas,you really know your stuff. So much knowledge just from hand feeding yourself!Great stuff👍💪
Excellent details...
Excellent video. The details about balance and hip rotation were especially helpful. Thanks.
Excellent explanation of forehand mechanics. Thanks for posting,
Amazing set of insights on the forehand, Tomaz! ... There's always something new I learn from every new video of yours. Great job, keep it going :)
One follow up question - would it be fair to say that neutral stance is more prevalent and suitable for low/med balls, while the open stance is more comfortable/suitable while playing high balls that have a lot of top spin?
Thanks

Bro this channel is such a godsend. For someone like me who really doesn't have the opportunity to play with many people OR afford lessons, I really can't ask for much more from a content creator. Thanks a lot :D
Brilliant , thanks for all the great videos , you are the best
Thank you for the new tips in 2020.
It seems I relearn again all those mistakes and when shifting to right leg- weight or left leg-weight for the strokes.
It really is helpful to relearn the balance, hip transfer, follow-through, hand relax, wrist relax, racket tipping back, roller coaster swing...
I can put those tips into practice soon.
This was such a great video explaining everything. Now I can practice the fundamentals on my own by breaking it down into the steps you’ve shown! The stances and balance is what I wanted to work on!
Great tips! Great forehand lesson! Thanks!
Very solid and effective teaching!
Excellent. Thank you! Really helpful. Great details.
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
Great summary of forehand, stances and positions needed for drop feeds.
Another brilliant video! 👏
This is awesome! Thanks so much!
Why u r a best tennis teacher. Mind blowing. ❤️❤️❤️
Congrats for the time taken to help players. Sounds you're really passionate about teaching 🙂
Tennis is in my view the most difficult sport a recreational player can play and they need all the help we can provide.
@@feeltennis Very difficult indeed, a lot of coordination is required, among other skills. You have a nice state of mind. You could as well have made a paid program including such a video. It's nice from you.
very informative and helpfull, thank you
Wonderful in depth video. Thank you very much sir
Thank you.. you are an excellent instructor without a doubt ..
Great teacher. Keep presenting these type of excellent videos
Watched again after long time.. Always fantastic lessons from my best coach in the world... Thanksss a lot Tomaz
Thanks again!
Excellent video on how to hit a forehand from the ground up in a low pressure situation. Thanks. I will try this tomorrow when warming up.
Great instruction that I wish I had long ago. Learning to play with my left hand after hurting my dominant right hand. Many parts for each stroke, just as I found in swimming, but with more options for breathing! 🙂
Liked and subscribed!
Amazing. Best exercices. 👍
Best video ever on forehand, but I didn't realize it immediately, took me some time
Wow, amazing explanation, when I heard the reasons that you've explained makes a lot of sense to me and it will help me to find errors (In fact I paused the video and made some shadowing in my apartment, and instantly get better sensations and balance. If you dont know how and why (and when!) hardly you can improve). Really really valuable lesson here, thank you so much!
Thank you, so helpful 😊
THANK YOU as always
Greetings from Spain!
Amazing tips
Tomaz is an ace in teaching tennis with an extraordinary new approach I acknowledge but just in one important key factor about the forehand I guess is not quite right: Indeed the best and efficient image-conceptulization is that for a fraction of time IT IS a circular centrifugal-driven stroke.
Carlos Alcaraz especially, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic prove it
Of course the fh can be hit forwardly, linearly but you won't produce various enormous advantages by getting the above.
Top-notch instruction!!!!!!!!
Excellent! thanks Tomaz
great points thanks
Awesome instruction!
Excellent lesson thank you 🙏
Nice presentation and practice session))
Great video!
Great instruction, as always.
agreed!
Very Good Video Man 👍
Very good lesson.
I just start playing tennis and this vidio is very nice to help me.. thanks a lot and HELLOO from Indonesia 🙏🏻
Thanks, Tomaz. Medvedev does the wrap around the neck follow through with his forehand -- I think it looks pretty strange at the professional level. Of course he does have an ATP ranking of #4, so it does work for him.
Excellent
Excellent tips and explanation! Greetings from Poland :)
Thanks for this great video. From Malaysia
Your insightful tutorial has taken me back to the ground again after I have ruined my techniques by trying all the fancy things. Thank you.
One question: Is it even possible to practice and improve *without a ball*? I'm curious if that's even possible because there are times that my work gets crazy that I just can't go to the court for a week or even weeks.
Thank you so much!
It's very interesting and useful
The best video I have seen on forehand fundamentals. Can you do a similar video for a single handed backhand?
Thank you.
Very nice Video.!
Excellent video. As always very helpful.
Could you also comment on the semi-open stance?
Semi open stance is basically an open stance that can be played in the same two ways: with or without weight transfer. You shouldn't really know or think which stance to use during play, they just happen. But in your mind / body needs to be "installed" the right way to execute such stances and that we do in such practice sessions or footwork specific sessions.
Excellent video. Loads of tips. Thank you.
Can you please advise tips to ensure the ball stays close to net height when delivered to the opponent. Vs it taking a high swing as soon as you swing the racket. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video. I tried it and hit about 100 balls - nearly 80 were perfect imo. No high balls anymore ☺️
Just what I was looking for.
Wow! Tremendous clarity here. I've saved this one!
Do you ever come to the US? Maybe Atlanta? :-)
Thank you!
Hi Tomas! Thanks a lot for valuable information. The information is easy to understand. I have a question: Is Racket drop on forehand of backhand a conscious effort or it’s a result of something else? Would love your take on this. Thanks
dear tomaz, THANK YOU
Just coming across your content. I learn primarily from coaches on CZcams. I've never seen instruction on the footwork as you have shown it, along with all of the other helpful details. Definitely going to spend time with these fundamentals.
Happy to help!
I have Tomaz’s full FH course (highly recommended btw) bu I return to this video too regularly. Great advice here thank you Tomaz.
Much appreciated!
Best instructions
Amazing video Tomaz. I noticed that the tip of the left leg foot is pointing forward (or at almost 90 deg w.r.t to right leg foot tip) while playing forehand. My both foot tips gets parallel when I turn side ways while playing the forehand shot. I think that may be the reason of pain in my left leg knee as my pelvis rotates. I will change my stance and will see what happens. Thanks again for the lesson :)
Thx real science & Physics for forehand.
