I keep watching this lesson as it helps enormously, but just realized it helps in another way. I've been in pursuit of a 'live arm'. It now appears to me that swinging from the shoulder promotes a live arm on both wings, and the serve. I think this may be a little known and dying concept. The old coach at park and I talked about it, and his players have great, classic form, and hit the ball a ton.
Thanks for posting... I appreciate your comment... I will also try to feel that "LIVE ARM" you speak about! When the shoulder is the focal point the rest of the arm relaxes (live arm) and goes along for the ride.
To your tennis success,
Tom
Yes. I have found myself being more successful with the old school way of hitting.
This will really help me. I didn't realize that an angle of 60 degrees would import so much more topspin.
Absolutely the more you increase the angle the more RPM"s (Or topspin) you'll get.
All the best,
Tom

5:45 yeah I could see that very clear in the point.one pixel
Great glad you're benefitting!
To your tennis success,
Tom
Now I can really rip it hard and punish those slow servers. Thanks for your instructions.
You're welcome let it rip!!
Tom
Hi Tom. Thanks so much for this video. You talked about a tendency to be "wristy". What else can I do to avoid this? My wrist even gets sore after 2 sets with a blister in my palm under my thumb.
You've got to dial in on the wrist and keep it steady throughout contact... after you hear the ball hit the strings let the palm of your hitting hand keep going towards your target for about 6 to 12 inches... before you relax and roll the wrist and forearm.
To your tennis success,
Tom
@@Fundamentalsoftennis Thanks. I will work on this.
I like the music
Great!
To your tennis success,
Tom
I tend to get flat-footed on the slow balls. Good reminder to stay active with the body. I never choke up, but I'll give it a try. By the way, when my opponent moves inside for my second serve, my mouth begins to water. It's worth risking a double fault just to brush them back!
Thanks! I love it! Risk the double fault to brush them back... I'm goin to try it!
To your tennis success,
Tom
@@Fundamentalsoftennis
Yep. The best servers, like pitchers in baseball, have a mean streak!
Choke up the handle??
First time I heard about that... I will try it tomorrow to see if can do it.
Please let me know how you did!!!
To your tennis success,
Tom
@@Fundamentalsoftennis
Hi it wasn't so easy for me and a lot of my returns were too longs , maybe I should move more forward and have a flat return with this grip?
What about short bouncing balls, either a serve or an in play ball?
Same technique... use spin!
To your tennis success,
Tom
Why don't coaches say, "the slower the ball, the better your technique has to be?" I've never heard of this. I'm kind of relieved just to hear you saying that. I thought I was a dumb player who can't hit back a slow ball, though I'm relatively OK with faster balls.
Thanks! It's true... technique has to be fundamentally sound on a slower ball, because if you have TOO MUCH going on with your swing (technique) too many things can go wrong... keep it simple with technique.
To your tennis success,
Tom
Super instruction. Looks a bit dated bot world class instruction. Thanks
Thanks much appreciated!
To your tennis success,
Tom
hmmm.. choking the handle.. I'll try that.. Thank you. :)
+Killerkamatis Pogi
It helps!!
Tom
I'll try it and report the results back here.
Let me know!
All the best,
Tom
come on
And?
I thought we’re supposed to use wrist lag for better effortless forehands?
Yes, racquet (wrist) lag definitely!!
To your tennis success,
Tom
At 5:36 aren’t you hitting late in this segment?
It looks close... maybe slightly but not bad... I think I'm hitting an inside out forehand here to the backhand side of my opponent assuming he's right handed... if so it doesn't look late. And the angle of the camera has to be taken into consideration.
To your tennis success,
Tom
If you roll your wrist / fore arm correctly you don't change racket face angle, ask Fed how ;)
+Hung Phan
The roll of the wrist and forearm with Fed happens after he's through the hitting zone... NOT IN THE HITTING ZONE.... and that's my point.
All the best,
Tom
Fed is Fed, and neither you nor I are he.
I would have expected him to use his own racket brand Avery??
+geepeeone
This was before AVERY Racquets existed.
Tom
I bet the MAN is good at golf as well
Never really played a lot of golf... broke a 100 once... had a 99, had 54 on front nine and shot a 45 on back nine, and it was legit.. every stroke counted. Just never had the time.. it's fun and with all that greenery and quiet I always enjoyed it.
To your tennis success,
Tom
I do all the technical tips mentioned in the video but I still get dictated during the point. My most advanced tactics dictates that you hit the ball nicely slow and at them or crosscourt. I'm told that if you hit hard back at a placement difficult to reach makes you undesirable to play. What am I doing wrong? I still want to be a nice guy and desirable to play.
Be the aggressor... learn to punish slow second serves and become the dictator of the point... hit the return hard to the backhand side and move forward... if you see a weak reply keep going and take it out the air with a swinging volley or a standard volley... hope this helps.
To your tennis success,
Tom
@@Fundamentalsoftennis Are there any resources to learn to pass the line in the sand of nice guy but not become undesirable to play? I'm worried that if I punish such sitters or weak balls, they might feel bad or find me undesirable to play with.
Hats off to you for being a good sport, first of all. Are you saying that you're reluctant to make the game difficult for your opponent because they might get upset and/or refuse to play you? No fair player should complain if you win by skill alone. They can be frustrated, yes, but to my mind there's an unspoken agreement that if you step on court, you're prepared to win or lose by fair means and not to complain, sulk or resort to unfair ones if the other person plays better. My idea of being a nice guy (and I care about this too) is to keep it sporting, respectful and light-hearted, not to hurt, humiliate and distract the opponent with stupid antics, trash-talk, melodrama, intimidation etc. You can win as a nice guy if your game is good enough and that's what I aim for. If, on the other hand, you think being a nice guy means making it easy for your opponent, you're setting yourself up to lose and you should understand this. The only way to win is to make it hard for the opponent to hit the ball over the net, in some way or another. Not wanting to win is a legitimate standpoint, but you can't turn it into a winning formula. I think you need to make up your mind how much or little you're ready to do in pursuit of the win.
Another point: no-one should find a good, fair player undesirable to play. I seek out better players because I love the challenge and you learn more from a loss. If your opponent can't appreciate your tennis even when it wins against theirs, they need to shrink their ego and remember to be grateful that they're free to play.
@@Molybdaenmornell It's mostly what my coach taught me for over a decade. Yes the less ideal version of being a nice guy. I'm supposed to play nice and win the point when they miss the ball. Challenging the opponent to have to make harder shots is a sin. I feel it holds me back from improving.
Ahhh, the nighties.
What does that mean?
To your tennis success,
Tom
족보에 없는 조언이 좀 있는 듯..
this is not a model tennis stroke.... good tennis advice but the vedio is stuck in the 2014.
It's still relevant!
To your tennis success,
Tom
Easy, just rip them with hug topspin and remember to hit thru the ball.
+Hung Phan
Yes don't hold back... rip it!!
Tom
um.... not to sound like a idoit but... how is that ball defying the laws of gravity?
My soft topspin high bouncing serve is going to be less successful because of this video. Video needs to be removed by CZcams. Quit coaching! Let these 4.0 hackers figure it out for themselves!
Thanks for the compliment!!
All the best,
Tom
