Fantastic explanation to the most common problems for FH hitting, thank you so much!!
Spot on.
All of these minor details were intended to prevent my son from developing incorrect muscle memories.
He didn't listen, so he has to go through the much more difficult process of unlearning incorrect techniques.
He struggles with dropping the racket too much and swinging under the ball, which causes it to fly way too high at the other side's fence.
Or is it a question of timing.
How to correct that?.
Like the way you structure your lessons. The re-cap at the end is really helpful. Great teaching!
Glad it was helpful!
Great advice Tenfitmen! The power position (with elbow pointing to the back slightly past the hip) just before or at the bounce is so key for me. Thank you 🙏🏻!!!
I am disabled and 99% of my bad shots are because of footwork. So I went to the dollar store and got mini cones and I have been practicing moving my feet and using my legs the correct way. The drills I do has helped me get my timing back. I also practice accuracy, and control and I use mini cones to practice both accuracy and control! Great video coach thank you.
I’m not disabled but I also struggle with footwork I’ll try what you suggested ta
@@opencurtin since I have been doing these drills for about two months now, I have lost 25 pounds, and I am moving a lot better. My problem my friend isn’t really side to side, but going forward, I play against people who love hitting drop shots, and I think that they hit those drop shots, just to watch an 51 year old out shape fat man run. Hahe all kinding aside, I have been getting better at running forward and moving my feet better. If you live by a dollar tree, they sell the mini cones, and you can save money if you are able to get the mini cones at the dollar tree. They also sell two different sizes. Good luck with your tennis and I hope you have fun doing the drills. Have a blessed day my friend.
All of your shots are bad dude lol your channel sux
Well can you send us what you realy did mate
You’re not disabled,
You are clearly alternatively abled!
Great forehand video lesson. I’ve done all 3 mistakes featured. This really will help going forward.
Glad to hear you find it helpful. Now get to work! 😇💪
Great lesson, checkpoints I can easily keep an eye on!! Thank you!!
Very good and useful explanation. Thanks!
After watching this video, I subscribed immediately, such professional tips, thank you so much!
Thank you, Brother, well done. This is very helpful for me.
What a stunning video!!! It's the one shot I have never truly mastered. The best video I have ever seen for helping improve ones forehand!!! Truly well done!! Fantastic video.
So glad to read your comment, really made my day. Hope you improve your forehand, enjoy the process! 💪
Damn. You’ve mastered all the other ones? What’s your atp ranking?
This video alone deserves a billion views. Beautiful coaching and correct assessment of what most of us get wrong. Thank you coach!! ❤
great video. really good confirmation of a couple of lessons i had.
Great video, thanks! One thing you might include is to use the proper grip for maximum control and power, which is the semi-western grip (like you are using). I see most of the club players (3.5-4.0) still use the eastern forehand.
Wow. These are excellent tips and straight to the points. I know amount tip one with the non-dominant arm and tip two with getting into the power position before the ball bounces so we don’t get rushed with the forward swing. I have been recently emphasizing these two points with my two children, 8 and 12. It’s good to hear from a professional like this gentleman to reinforce my understanding. I didn’t realize about tip 3 with the racquet drop. I assume the racquet drop was more for lower balls but I can see the difference in racquet head acceleration when he was demonstrating tip #3.
Very helpful! Being a while to enjoy your lessons
Nice lesson. Thanks for sharing your knwoledges
Very helpful video thanks for sharing!!!
Bravo majstore, odlicne forehand fore i fazoni :) Hvala!
Thanks. I can use these helpful right away.
Thanks, the shoulder drop made so much sence.
Fantastic lesson! Keep it up!
There are helpful tips. It is suitable for people with good basic techniques. When I use the Nextgen technique forehand, I clearly feel that it creates good force and has high stability. And the force of the blow is generated from the whole body. It is suitable for a racket that is heavy enough and creates an interesting ball feel. Thanks for teaching.
Fixing mistake 1 added so much power to my forehand. Thank you
Muito bem!!🙌🙌🙌 Excelentes observações e super didático nas orientações 👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝
Great lesson!! Thank you
Very instrutive. Thanks.
what a great video to show up on my feed, I'm making all 3 mistakes, thank you!
On one hand, sorry to hear you have all three mistakes, on the other hand I'm glad you found the video and I hope it will help! 😇
Ottima Lezione! Grande!
Congratulations.. very nice advices!
Great lesson !
These are very helpful. I am guilty with the non dominant hand when I’m prepping too early. Thank you.
Excellent!!!! Very clear explanation ✨✨✨👌🏼
Great to hear it. Hope it helps!
Great explanation, thank you!
Glad to hear. Hope it helps you improve!
This is helpful and will improve my forehand, thanks
So happy to see this, made my day! :)
Nice video. Thank you
Ótima aula. Obrigado
I want to say thanks!
Your insight about not using the non-dominant arm improved my forehand massively.
I practiced a lot on improving my forehand, but without a noticeable degree of success, I just felt I was walking in the place.
But after I started to implement your recommendation, to take the left arm back and then use it to help my body coil and to initiate the kinetic chain, I feel a so much better forehand now, timing-wise, accuracy-wise, and power-wise.
Before then I had been taught to point toward the ball with my left hand, and in retrospect, this was totally not suitable for me, since it caused my left side of the body to be kind of numb and to not initiate and participate the coiling motion properly before contacting the ball.
I think you are a coach and a CZcams instructor in the top level, in the levels of Tomas from Feel Tennis, and the other guy from Intuitive Tennis do not remember his name.
Just keep going and I'm sure you will succeed with this type of content, I can clearly see you have a high body movement intelligence, you can break down motions of the body, stances, and techniques, and you have your own unique perspective, since in contrast to other coaches you really understand how things work.
Best,
Ido.
Thank you for the tips
good stuff! your forehand looks awesome!
Great stuff, thank you!!! Would be great also to get to know about common backhand mistakes...
Hhhhh, I already made that video, will edit it next and it’s coming soon 👍
Same issue for the Bh and even more important...
Very Helpful!
From my experience the most common mistake in tennis is to learn from a guy who uses a basket full of balls teaching baseline strokes. I spent tens of years trying to learn from this kinda coaches, and I still made a mistake within 4-5 strokes playing a real game. Then I finally met an old man who played at Wimbledon back in the closed era (and I saw that real pro visiting him to listen his opinion). He didn't proclame all this "like pro" BS, he just started to teach me from the scratch, like I was 4 y.o. boy, and one ball was quite enough to fall off like autumn leaves after 15 mins session. He explained that the most common mistakes in tennis are not in my arms or legs, they are always right in between my ears. In 2-3 months I was able to run 150-200 strokes rallies and not on comfortable balls against professional sparring but keeping the ball against partner of my level (we trained in pair).
Dude, the mistakes you consider here are real, but they also are far secondary, and people will reproduce them every time in "too late" circumstances, does not matter how much you taking about them. The root cause of any mistake is always a lack of concentration even for pro players, but I never seen CZcams guru saying: guys, the secret of Federer (Djokovic/Alcaraz/etc) skill on the end of their noses, forget their arms and feet, first of all look how they track the ball with their noses concentrating all the attention on it.
Nice tips. I definitely do a couple of those things wrong!
Excellent! Thank you Coach Milan.
You're very welcome, hope it helps!
Yes, it helps! I’m working on the things you covered here; coil, timing, drop and balance. I appreciate your concise descriptions and it helps seeing your demonstrations of correct technique.
Have to switch to pickleball due to injuries. This all helps using drop setve; basically a forehand stroke. Thanks🙏
Nice that you adopted the Advanced Tennis Swivel to slot entry, so now just use is with a semi open for better results. Your balance is pulled out by your neutral stance here. I think you should mention that you learned this from Advanced Tennis Foundation and give the org credit.
The best advance vidio about forejand :)
Excellent.
good show reminder of the drop :)
Very clear and Well done.
Many thanks! Hope it was useful!
Very helpful! I will put this on practice in my training tomorrow. Great tips. One suggestion: Get a lapel microphone that helps to filter the ambient noise and improve your sound. But it is great anyway, we can clearly understand.
Happy to hear that. Let us know how it goes after training! And appreciate the tip, well noted!
@@tenfitmentennisimpulse Hello, I paid attention on these points yesterday and I noticed that whenever I miss a shot, it's because of one of these mistakes. I don't do them all the time, but the most difficult for me is related to mistake number 2, timing the shot and keep the swing smooth. For me, the lack of racket drop (mistake #3) is a consequence of mistake #2 when I am late and I have to rush, muscling the swing and not allowing the racket do drop. Any advice on this?
Very nice!!!
Thanks for the vid Milan and great to see you back...all of your points were spot on but one thing you have is good footwork which all the pros have and most of the amateur players do not.Maybe an extra refresher vid on footwork to add to this for point 4.Have a great day.😊
Thanks for your feedback. Well noted! 👍
Always helpful thank you
You're always welcome!
Thanks you Coach
Very helpful
very good tips, Do you have any tips to feel the racket drop more ?
とても参考になりました。ありがとうございました。
Great advice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hope it makes a difference for you!
I like the racquet drop advice. I'm always taking the racquet straight back so I will give this a go. Thanks for the great advice. Helloha from Australia!!!
Thanks I need to improve my timing so this video helped.
Glad to hear it. Have fun!
Great, master
What is your opinion on the hitting arm extension at the point of impact? Federer’s arm is almost straight with negligible elbow bend when he makes contact. He keeps enough distance between his body and the ball to allow that. Should we try that or keep some amount of bend in the elbow?
Thanks a lot... very very useful comment!!!
Hope it helps you improve your forehand!
The best coach on CZcams 🤩🤩🤩
thank you
wow pritty nice tipps thank you.
i there a special drill for the timing issue (nr. 2) ? :D
Great question. I might make some future video on it. In general, you should practice timing of your swing in relation to the upcoming ball. There are two reference points to pay attention to. I'll try to show in the video! 👍
Bravo..thanksss
Very helpful tips ! by the way when will you practice with pro tennis player agains ? I loved those videos !
Glad to hear that. I hoped to play with them soon, let’s see 👀
Great 👏🏻👍🏻
شكرا على المعلومات القيمة
best video for forehand
Wow, so humbled! 🙏
You're good !
Thanks.
Good morning!! May I do some observations about this video?
Good job 👏
👍🙌
Love Milan!!!
Love back
Muito bom!
Great video! (My opinion!!)
Good video. So much confusion about the first tip for rec players. If you coil that much with hand close to racquet most players will be late and jammed. Why coaches actually recommend the pointing to ball. Higher levels it’s no issue. I like having arm parallel to baseline with arm and racquet separation and then point to the ball as you swing to stay more closed. Eventually I want to do as you suggested for more coil and power but it’s difficult for the common player. Can you give tips for achieving this. In particular spacing since arm in my opinion wouldn’t be able to track the ball as easily. Thanks
Thanks for addressing this. It's more like thinking about uncoiling force. You should use your non-dominant arm to help you rotate better and achieve the most powerful impact on the ball. If you start with it parallel to the baseline you have less of that range for uncoil. Hope it makes sense. It's all practice, getting familiar with the different timing and mechanics. 👍
@@tenfitmentennisimpulse thanks Milan. I understand your point but how to achieve this for the average player is my concern. Particularly tracking the ball and spacing if your non dominant arm coiled back so far. Sounds like just practice and timing is the only cure then! Maybe you can make a separate follow up video on this? Easy for advanced guys since you’ve been playing a long time but for us mortals any tips would be beneficial! Thx again
Christian did you do s as ny video eta is on how to prevent passing shots?
4:10 haha 😂 “looks like amateur player”. This is exactly correct. Looks like an amateur player kind of like me.
Thanks for helping me achieve greatness coach!!!
Are there helpful timing fix drills?
Tennis for me is all about the footwork and then setting up to hit the ball that’s what I struggle with
Left arm straight forward is good for beginners to prevent being late.
Have never watched your videos so that was a pretty good video and I can certainly relate to all those three and bonus mistakes!! Well illustrated. One thing which I would suggest and I hope you will take it in the kindest way possible: try not to use the word " right " as you used it very often at the end of sentences and can be quite distracting for making presentations or speaking to your audience. We call such words filler words. Would really want to learn more about the forehand like the different stances, do you push your body forward after hitting the ball, what about the footwork after hitting the ball etc?? Just some humble suggestions like you had asked. Thank you once again for this video. Much appreciated. 🤟
Are you a member of Toastmasters? :) because I am! Noted. Regarding forehand, we have many other videos on it, feel free to check on our channel 💪
Very Helpful! what string is he using in his Blade?
TAAN :)
ty :) @@tenfitmentennisimpulse
I could kinda tell/guess this was filmed in China somewhere :D Which city are you in, maybe I could go check out and sign up for some lessons?
I am guilty of all three.
For the first (non dominant arm) my takeaway is to use my non dominant shoulder to “point” at the ball and then uncoil through impact.
So the focus would be on the movement of the shoulder rather than the hand
Is this Correct?
Good point. You can try to focus on the shoulder and the goal is to become more aware of the full coil/turn and uncoiling moment with assistance of non-dominant arm 👍
I miss you so much❤❤❤
One thing I would say for the first point - left arm in front - is it's a bit dependent on forehand style. Traditional WTA while the arm comes around a bit they tend to end up with the airplane wings with one arm almost straight out in front and the racket arm out behind them (e.g. Halep), ATP does not. I guess that's a difference in physiology showing,
Yep. Alluded to that in my comment as well. Coco definitely has good separation with her off hand before swinging
there is no physiological reason women can't and shouldn't do the same coil the men do.
If for some reason you find yourself late or jammed, work on your ready position, shot recognition/response and movement. Don't compensate by training bad technique.
@@monstertrucktennis well there clearly is or women wouldn't swing that way. I read men have 70% more leg power but 165% more punching power. Men and women are built differently (women wide hips narrow shoulders and men the opposite) and that is gonna lead to different ways of swinging. Women I guess use the hip turn more (great torque from the leg push with the wider hips) men use the upper body more (they are built to maximize force when violently hitting each other over the head with sticks).
@@monstertrucktennis not really. Hence the body and strength differences between women and men.
@@bmanbusee3812 incorrect.
Watch Justin Henin hit groundstrikes using proper technique ala ATP Fearhand. It can be done regardless of sex. There are ZERO physiological reasons for woman to hit incorrectly. ZERO
The Forehand should be one continuous fluid motion without any pauses whatsoever! That motion starts the instant you move your left shoulder and initiates the “opening” of the right arm. The opening of the right arm is in complete synchronization with the approaching ball and after it bounces ! Pointing at the ball with your left hand isn’t the problem.

Thank balance is so crucial
Novak is the master
Anyone know what string he uses?
As for me I use formula:
