Thank you Grant for this video. I told my coach that I made mistakes that way (6:09) but he didn't understand. Thank you very much for the video and now I'm able to see how I will fix this. I hope one day I can make some classes with you there in California! Thank you very much, Grant! Bruno Lopes, Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL
Excellent analysis by Grant. We see that Djoker has a near straight arm at contact. It is true. As shown at 07:50. We clearly see a 160° angle between forearm and upper arm at contact. So there is only a few degrees difference between Fed's so-called "straight arm" forehand. 🎾⭐
Thank you, Grant. This lesson is amazing. A question, I do feel like I need to speed up when I hit to feel the snap and lag after learning from this video. Can the fluid motion be achieved when i are hitting 20 to 50% power?
thank you for your video. I played in the wooden racquet era and the grip and hitting method/swing path was quite different. Is it due to equipment limitation and the size of the racquet head that the players grip differently? eg McEnroe was holding his forehand very different from your demonstration, and that was how it was taught then in the 80s. Backhand was usually a slice unless double handed. Strong top spin players of that era like Borg or Vilas I never looked how they grip. Even players like Sampras, Edberg their grips were not at all like your video.
@GrantVanderHaydenTennis I heard you say not to exceed 160 degree extension, but not be too cramped. I’ve been keeping my forehand more towards the 160 degrees... But what is the balance in between? What would the minimal extension from your body you’ll want to gain optimal power even for people who can’t attain 160 degree extensions?
Wishing a tennis racket from you with your autograph sir.....🎾🎾 A tennis racket from you sur is the best gift on this upcoming feb 20 on my 17th birthday..✨🎾
If you ain’t split stepping before Grant speaks, your missing vital info 😂 hey Grant, I can crush back and forehand shots in practice but when match time comes, I tighten up drastically and the balls start flying… any points of focus you’d recommend?
We had players on our team like this. Hit well in practice and then choked in matches. Balls flying into the fence. And then when they fell behind 0-5, with no chance of winning the set, their level would go way up again. It is all mental. Also try to replicate match pressure in practice. Make the practice matches mean something. Play for a starting spot. If you lose a practice match you are not in the lineup, or you do 100 pushups, or whatever. 🎾
Yooooooooooooooooooooooo

Oh wow, really good video...especially the part about regarding the backswing. That part helped me a lot
Awesome video. Where was this when I was starting out?! Clear and concise. Players like me can use this to troubleshoot our forehands. Thanks Grant!
You are telling me? I started before Internet.

great! but this is focused mainly for a straight arm forehand tho! most of the tips overlap tho. all good. just had to point that out lol :)

How to fix the first mistake on the follow through?¿

I recommend "The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance" from Timothy Gallwey
