That's a good one...you know anatomy and biomechanics! Sending you cheers from Europe.You are among the 3 companies that talk legit.Very well said and educated.
Coach you have improved my forehand so much!!! I changed my left hand (I’m right handed) by having my palm face out instead of down and it’s made the biggest difference .. I am so happy, thank you!
Helped me be aware that my problem in my over rotation is in my hips rather than my shoulders which are just following my hips. Thanks, videos are very useful
Hi . I'm 59 y.o. learning 123 steps approach, power zone from Your lessons. It goes well . Thank You. Although my right shoulder starts bother me. Should I continua to practice. Or pay more time for fitness. Again thank You for videos. Demetri.
Before even watching the video let me say this: We want to avoid the confusion between "different rotations". Ideally, the rotations concerns the upper body, not legs, not even hips which only initiate he rotation. In certain compromised real match situations we must rotate more or less fully (and simultaneously) from the lower body also.
Coach Steven. It seems to me that you primarily use the neutral or semi open stance. But I use the open stance about 70% of the time. I only use the neutral or semi open when the ball is short or when I hit inside out or in. In the open stance, it is more important to push off your dominant leg to create power.
Great content... For a while there I was really trying to use my hips to generate power... as well as trying to have my lower body moving in general forward when hitting the contact point to generate extra power... lots of missed shots.... this is a great explanation as to using the the legs as stabilizers for the torso rotation thru the contact point. I've started to do that much more often with lots more success... especially when chasing down backhands out wide and really stabilizing on that front leg... while just dropping the other leg from holding any weight and tucking underneath the front leg... it's one of the things i'm exploring now... hitting most of my shot from the stabilization of one leg (which likely only makes since on mostly torso rotated shots)... good commentary on the using the legs more/torso less when deflecting shots. Thanks again... this is a fantastic analysis.
Totally agree Rick. Too much technical thinking in a match will definitely do more harm than good. I still think focusing the basics and keeping it simple yields the best overall result but there are also players who just need a small, specific tweak here and there.
This movement, this movement, this movement ... All this is good. But this is just an enumeration: do this, then do this, try this, and so on. But why and what for do we need to do precisely these characteristic movements ("body rotation" for example)? What ultimate goal are they dedicated to? Why do we need (is it always needed?) the so-called "weight-transfer" and is it always done only in the forward direction? Why there is no explanation of movements from the point of view of the muscle work features, inertia forces, reactive forces? Because if a student knows the basic principles of action, then many artificial restrictions will fall, a lot of small details will lose their "importance" and a certain freedom of action will appear! Isn't it?) Maybe the author believes that explanations are not necessary to a wide range of people and copying his movements is quite enough? In my opinion, an explanation of principles is needed if the lesson is really intended to teach someone. With greetings from Russia) P.S. Sorry for my english, guys!

Thank you for explaining about the “second turn”
The stabilizing hip was super key for me to observe and keep refining my strokes. Thanks so much!

Glad that helped!

Incredible video. I've been struggling with hip rotation for the longest time, thanks for the clear instruction!
Good info. May not be easy for everyone to relate to..but essential to progress to mid-level player.
Dude have you got a double handed forehand??
Thank you, will definitely try to implement this. My mind seems to go blank while practicing.

You hit your forehand with both hands holding the tennis rack?

Yup...
Indeed
sideways and getting weight into shot by stepping in easer on right hip if you have hip arthritis.?

I believe so - more the outside leg. I also think a regular forehand will use more open stance and if I’m defending I’ll probably be more open.
Good job really like to see real drill besides lecturing

good info as usual . rotation!!!
Coach Steven，Great analysis！
Looking forward to Part 3！
Great video again!👍
i love hit the ball so low just like Radwanska, Kerber, Murray, and Goffin. Lol
Smart content
You use a 2 handed forehand? I've thought about trying that before but it feels really weird
It’ll feel weird for about a month or two but it’s really consistent.
@@15PointsOfTennis Cool! Maybe i'll give it another go lol, love your vids man, stay safe!
I like the way you hitting two handed forehand. Just like you are throwing pancakes to the opponent.
Wow
A lot of the content should go into academic paper, as how insightful it is, but imo it’s too much to remember and execute on court.
Totally agree Rick. Too much technical thinking in a match will definitely do more harm than good. I still think focusing the basics and keeping it simple yields the best overall result but there are also players who just need a small, specific tweak here and there.
@@15PointsOfTennis Keep up the great work!
