If someone wants to improve his/her forehand, this is the perfect lesson. I have improved my forehand lately before seeing this video. The change corresponds exactly with what Kevin taught in his video.
Kevin, you are a good teacher 👍
What a great analysis! Another important aspect of Djokovic's forehand is the elbow elevation during the unit turn. It stays almost at same level of his shoulders. It helps to keep the racket at same side of the body during the swing phase.
One of the best forehand lessons ever, actually teaches you the drills you can do.
Awesome Kevin. You're articulating it so well, with so much detail. I'm as impressed with that as I am with the information. And, all so effortlessly... Like that forehand.
Probably the best of all videos on forehand technique! Thank you.
GREAT analyasis ! Love the technic description and way to teach
kevin, you are a great analyst and you also make your explanations chrystal clear, which is rare and precious.
Hey Kevin. Tons of gold packed into 12 minutes. I've got to watch this over and over again...then execute the instruction. Thanks for the insights.
I wish more people were clear communicators like this. Well done!
I love watching these videos that get HIGHLY technical but, Djokovic could be like “dude I’m just hitting the ball”
well i mean at this point to him he’s just hitting the ball at some point he’s had to train that muscle memory
Yeah, you try really hard to do all these things but it just keeps falling apart. Eventually u realise you just have to hit it
@@user-dv4dh8mf9t not really. You wanna learn this stuff and then hit the shot. But the key is to not think about it WHILE you hit the shot. Think "okay this is how i want to hit the shot" then relax and let it happen when the ball comes to you. The information is good but you just cant overthink it when youre trying to actually hit the shot
The other big important thing is to make sure you take it step by step. Try learning to take the racquet back as displayed in the video, and try hitting your own forehand like normal with that. Then once thats incorporated into your form, try the next step
Check out Novak’s tennis lessons
Excellent teacher, appreciate his wisdom and enthusiasm .
Another excellent & super helpful video! So insightful & clear. No other instructors I've come across share this level of guidance. Thank you, Kevin! 🙏🏽
In all my tennis sessions what you explained me in 12 minutes nobody has ever explained me this in perfect footage . Thank you very much! You explained this in such simple steps!
Serban?
i Love how analytical and applicable your tips are. love your teaching style. subscribed!
Love these videos!
Your teaching technique and drills really help with the imagery of the stroke and tennis!
I've only realised recently how different this forehand is to whatever I grew up watching in the 80s and 90s - thanks for talking us through this and telling us what is happening at each point in the shot. Apart from watching ivdeos of players in slo-mo it's also similar discoveries about how differently badminton shots are made to what I thought they were - not that they're at all the same, but once you examine the anatomy of a shot you realise it's a whole different principle at work. If anything's similar there it's that the shot is relaxed most of the way, the body is used with a windup action release, and a bent arm is really helpful in ensuring that snap happens.
Very good analysis! I am 70 years old but never learned tennis properly. I have not come close to mastering all 6 points. But the unit turn and the three fingered grip has definitely improved my forehand. Never heard a better explanation about the position and purpose of the left hand (right hand for lefties).
this is one of the best forehand description videos I have ever watched
Kevin, You are a genius. You have covered all aspects of tennis step by step for beginners like me to play twnnis and enjoy the game without having to have injuries. There is no one better than you, to decipher this game.
This was an amazing video!!! Loved it!! Will practice this! Thank you😆
Great content. thanks for taking the time. very well explained.
Just discovered you recently. Very articulate and precise technical discussion and often you have an original way of presenting it. Hope you succeed with your channel. I will be checking it out regularly.
Love this, clear communication. Keep it up
Great explanations, thanks and Djokovic is quite the Master Player to learn from.
Such good content! Thank you so much for making this video 🙏🏼
Really appreciate this video. Really good analysis of Djoker’s forehand!
fantastic video. So much unpacked in such a short time. Thanks for sharing.
Comparing to other tennis videos, your forehand and backhands videos have untie the knots for me by making me understand totaaly
the concept behind them. I have seen real improvements after watching your in depth explanations. Yours are the best there are. I have watched all your videos from 7 years back and your videos are getting better and better conceptually. Thank you for opening my eyes!
man what a geat vid, from your commentary which is almost relaxing, to the production. tips are very logical and clear to understand.
Great way to break it down! Even if it is a bit late for me to change my forehand and I (strive to) hit both forehand and backhand more like Federer anyway, it is helping my 6-year old start out building his forehand like this from the get go. And his strokes are getting heavier already!
Very nice well put together video, thank you so much for this
Solid video..love how he talks about the coil, which in physics cooks up the energy, preserve it by extending the non-dorminant hand (for righties, this would be your left hand), and not letting it open too early, also another physics thing he mentions is the raising of the racket head during the the take back and having the help of gravity as you swing downwards, then low to high..great video. Great work!
Loved this man. Thank you! Will try this weekend
Oh man -- fantastic! Holding the racquet longer with the left hand during prep/loading makes SO much sense! I am 50yo and my ears perk up every time I come across a tip that will help maintain power & control while reducing elbow & wrist fatigue (no windshield-wiper forehand for me, than you very much). That little extra bit of twist looks like it could allow my arm/wrist/elbow to work less hard -- and such a simple & easy thing to incorporate. i can't wait to try it at my match this weekend -- Thanks, Kevin!!
Great analysis, thanks for this! I'm in the process off filming all my shots and sending it through for your analysis service, great idea by the way !
Really interesting, thank you for this illustrative video, keep going, please 😊
This brother is awesome. Thanks bro!
amazing guide and analysis! keep up the good work!
Spot on brother! This was very helpful
A good swing is initiated by the off arm, I think it's honestly one of the most important parts of the forehand. You will never create great rhythm without it.
Great tennis suggestions, thank you for sharing!!!!
Another great video! Thank you!
Mate, crystal clear explanation, I'm going to start doing this drills. Thank you very much.
Brilliant breakdown and advice, thank you!
Thanks Kevin, superb, very good!
THIS VIDEO IS GOOD, WATCH IT, WORTH EVERY SECOND...oh and thanks TTD, clear precise and easy to watch.
i just saw your perfect backhand video, would love to see this same lesson style for backhands!! :)
Great video. Thanks for putting it together! 👍
Tysm just started playing tennis and this helped me alot to improve my forehand!
Thanks for this video! Great insights to achieving a consistent forehand.
I like the arm excursive rotation thing. Really great.
Great video. I appreciate your energy! Motivating.
Great video! Thank you!
Really well explained! Enjoyed watching your video!
Excellent advise. Thank you!
Good insights. This video helps reinforce techniques that we're taught but don't do properly or consistently.
Thanks for the video. Great explanation of the forehand.
Good stuff! I'm trying it tonight!
This video is/was very instructional. I watched it twice and drew an illustrated sketch with words on main points: Front-Turn-Drop-Rotate. Many Thank Yous
Very good video, tips, and analysis! Thank you very much.
Thanks for such an informative video
I recently unleashed this "Novak" forehand at our local club and must say people are still talking! Many thanks for really drilling in and explaining these mechanics and stuff using concepts that we mere mortals can digest ! Great job!
Great breakdown of the fearhand and good drills to go along with it. I really think Djokovic's forehand might be one of the most underrated shots on tour!
forehand*
As always great advice and analysis. As someone also who muscles the ball a bit the three finger tip was valuable. As he showed in another video it also helps a loose action on the serve too.
Just perfect lesson from start to finish.
Awesome and so helpful to go up level… Amazing analysis a
I USE THE SAME COACHING KEYS TO MAKE CLIENTS UNDERSTAND FULLY THE ROLE CONNCETIVITY BETWEEN KINETIC CHAIN / BIOMECHANIC MOVEMENTS AND RACQ USED TO GENERATE THE RIGHT SWING AND RACQ-BALL AIM. GREAT STUFF KEVIN. A LOT OF PEOPLE MUST RELEARN HOW TO USE THEIR BODY BY LEARNING AND UNDERSTANDING BIOMECHANICS OF THE BODY AND COORDONATION AS WELL BREATHING TECH TO SERVE THEM IMPROVE TENNIS FASTER.
Hey Kevin, that is great I learnt so much, also I learnt a tip from the tennis Australia website , on the take back of the djokovic modern forehand - take the racquet back in a way that it passes past (for the right hander) right ear, that really gets that stretch
Kevin rocks, been following you for years, now the videos look Hollywood style, very focused and your explanations are tight, with the real world practice examples making total sense. I think your stance is not as wide as Nole, plus he 'twists his ankle' to add to that hip rotation. It would be cool to have a stone rookie stand next to you for just a minute or two as it will take thousands of practice balls for us to emulate Nole, and to see a rookie use your tactics and improve might be unique. 48,000 subscribers!
Great and totally sense explanations! Congrats!
Thank you for giving us this video
Love the analysis. Just had a lesson with my pro taking cues from jokers forehand. I don’t think he drops the racquet much below the ball. And with that loose tension and contact out in front , he destroys it with little effort. Thank you
great detailed explanation. is easy to miss all this by just watching Novak's video
That was awesome! Thank you
Eye opening analysis and lesson. Thank you.
Brilliant explaination and demo!
Great video and very helpful❤
Awesome stuff. Great training.
Excellent video! I’m trying this strategies tomorrow :)
When I haven't seen one of your videos in awhile, I kick myself for not coming back sooner. I was recently trying to show someone else how to hit this forehand, and it reminded me what I was doing wrong! This modern forehand is not the most natural shot but it is nice, easy power.
Really good video Kevin, thank you
Nice video Kevin, However, please note the difference between your follow through and Djokovic's follow through. Djolovic's hitting elbow is pointing towards the target. This is not only key for the direction and target the ball is hit, but it defines how the forearm rotates to help create topspin on the ball. As in all things. structure determines function. That is to say the physical positioning of the body has a functional relationship on how the ball is stuck.
Kevin - Good explanation. Well done.
Perfect footage n hitting tcehnic I learnt today.very useful sessions.thanq
Hello, this was amazing content, thank you so much. I was wondering if you could do a video on the footwork and timing of the forehand? How do you unit turn, move to the ball, then start the backswing? Thank you
Thanks for the lesson. I just liked and subscribed.
well said…can’t wait to put into action…or, attempt…
This video is top! Thank you!
thanks for so helpful contents!!
Thanks for this excellent tutorial GGWP!!!!!!!!!!!
You know…..this is an excellent video. The subconcepts are so clear,digestible in bite sizes and achievable. Not rocket science-like. Thanks 👌🏽
Very deep analysis.. great job
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to learn more..
such an awesome video.....very well explained....thank you
What a great video, Kevin can really teach tennis.
Nice breakdown of the forehand!
Golden analysis! Thanks boss :)
Very helpful and insightful pointers, Kevin. Over the years, I become more and more impressed with his technique, so much so that I have switched to the Head Speed Pro and changing my grip from Semi-western/western to closer to an Eastern forehand. Would you consider doing an analysis on his returns? Thanks!
Djokovic return :
-wait
-receive a 120 mph ball
-*return the ball with the same speed it came to you while streching your legs over 2 meters.*
Great video. Thanks.
cool video , need to more more of these as well : ) thx buddy
