    In today's video article you'll learn how to find the right amount of relaxation and firmness in your strokes as well as how to find the right amount of rotation and linear extension in your strokes.
    While at first glance these two dilemmas seem to be quite different, you will see that they are very much compatible.
    The reason why we have to look into these extremes is because you could be too loose or too tense when hitting your groundstrokes in tennis.
    You could also be over-rotating and swinging too much across the ball or you could be pushing the ball too much in a straight line without much body rotation.
    In order for our tennis forehands & backhands to work well - meaning we get power AND accuracy, we need to find the right combination between relaxation & firmness and between rotation & linear extension.
    This week's video article gives you two simple ideas that help you achieve that ideal mixture.
    What I am explaining in this article is how I feel the transition of relaxation to firmness in my strokes and how I visualize the swing path.

    Thank you very much. your teaching help my tennis developed. I am just a amateur for 20 years really like playing tennis. Nowadays I'm thinking you are best teacher for tennis in the world. I've learn many skills from many teachers through UA-cam. But they'er not better than you. your teaching is always fundamental and scientific and easy, so it is giving new inspiration for tennis to me. Maybe many people is watching your UA-cam is all same circumstance. Thank you, thank you very much, my teacher.

  • @kevinoshea2289
    @kevinoshea2289 6 років тому +3

    Thanks so much, Tomaz. The relaxation, rotation and extension elements of the forehand always vex me. My club pro insists on a relaxed and extended swing. When I ask about rotation, as I have seen you preach the importance about rotation of shoulders and hips in your forehand videos, he claims that when I focus on rotation, I always rotate too early and over rotate . This video is brilliant and may help me to square once and for all the circular/rotational and extension elements of the forehand. Love your videos-they always answer my questions

    • @feeltennis
      @feeltennis  6 років тому +3

      Thanks for the feedback, Kevin. Yes, if the player doesn't now have a clear picture in the mind how the rotation and linear extension work together, then they either over-rotate or don't rotate enough. I am just showing how I visualize the strokes.

  • @vnminotaur
    @vnminotaur 6 років тому +1

    This is the best tip ever. Just forget lag and snap things. I can hit the ball powerfully in terms of speed, spin and consistency only with this tip like the ball bounces once and hits the fence. Just want to add some. I feel if there is something wrong with a stroke, it is about the linear stage. After aiming carefully at the linear stage, I can rotate as fast as I can at the second circular stage. I am not the fan of tips like how to beat pushers. In my opinion, there is only one way to beat pushers: build forehand to put away loose or easy balls. That is it.

    @bobskyblue 6 років тому

    Thank you for the video Tomaz. Player must be versatile, going linear for direction this is one method which is helpful depending on the situation... but the other one pros are now extensively using is open stance and pull side...Path of the ball will come from the head of the racket angle and is not much from directing the arm linear for placement other then specific situations. Yes everything should be done from relaxation and keep coiling-uncoiling.

    As usual, a sound technical explanation that is simple to understand. However, would you suggest that the straight-line path of the stroke is a bit from the forward movement of the body stepping out? Thanks

    what about the grip, is it lose befor the racket hits the ball? at least i do that while receiving the service

    • @feeltennis
      @feeltennis  6 років тому +8

      Yes, the grip is looser but NEVER to the point of having space between your hand and the handle. I have been correcting that often with players who loosen up the grip so much that the handle becomes wobbly and "loose" in their hands. That must never happen.

    @oooodaxteroooo 5 років тому

    as my first coach used to say: you need to be in a state of relaxed tension. meaning, youre mind has to be aware, but your body relaxed.
    the second part is my insight ;)
    think of federer shaking his hair away or stroking it. thats when he tried to get back to calmness, because he notices hes tense. i think this is crucial to tennis AND of course to life. the people who are too tense either get injuries or fail to win consistently.
