Thanks so much for that sunny! So glad to hear it. It means the world to us that you are watching our videos and they have a real impact. If you'd like, you can check out our full Forehand Course here: www.racquetflex.com/forehand
@@RacquetFlex Wow-your hair sucks. It detracts from your professionalism, and skill. Soul Train is long gone my friend. LIke your video and technique though.
Sometimes the UA-cam algorithm is magic. Been trying to fix my forehand for a while and the only videos I've found are 16 minutes of badly miked lectures. This is high quality stuff. Thanks.
I've been a tennis teaching professional for over 3 decades, and this is, by far, one of the most (if not the most) complete, in-detail scientifically researched, objectively instructional, professionally edited video I've ever seen! Extremely well done, gentlemen! You've made me a devoted follower. Keep up the great job, and THANK YOU for going the extra mile into making such a fantastic video!
You are 100% the real deal. This concept is so hard to understand and much less explain. There is a wealth of tennis garbage on the internet but you are a tennis Guru. Thank you for taking the time to put this together for us mid-levels. Mastering this concept will take your game to the next level. Thanks again!!!
Wow! You mentioned Rick Macci! I automatically knew that you know what you are talking about, what you are teaching, and what you are doing. Good Professors always use references to prior work, to Top Researches, etc. (Rick Macci is the Numbr One Top Tennis Researcher, Scientist and Teacher. ) And you did just that. You produced almost Scientific and Academic video lesson!
After 10 years of playing tennis. I finally unlocked the wrist lag power thank to this video! For me, it's the hip/chest rotation with relax of the hand (not just the wrist) as well as watching the ball and timing. It feels so effortless to hit the ball. To me, tennis is like, the more you loosen up the better.
I've watched many UA-cam videos and none, absolutely NONE have been as clear and as informative as this video. More beginners need to watch this video. Awesome job!!!
Thanks a lot, Connor! We are very glad that this video found you. Hours of research and personal experimentation went into this video project. Our goal was to provide comprehensive and accurate tutorial on a very complex part of the modern forehand.
HI! I'm a physiotherapist and Tennistrainer. There are so many Tennis instruction videos on youtube, that are not necessarily bad, but you realize they dont have a deep understanding of the movement and the actual physics behind it. To be honest, when i clickt on your video i expected exactly that. But, wow! This is the first video i think i ever watched, where i couldn't find a single misinterpretation. Props to you! It's a high quality video and easy to understand. Even with step by step exercises! Well done! Keep it up!
Oh my god, I have been looking for such detail for a long time. From other channels, staying loose is the only information they can deliver and I ended up trying out all kinds of theory on court. All the elements you mentioned in your vid are partly my practice focuses but never have I combined them together. THIS is the perfect video explanation of the modern forehand technique!
Thanks, James. That is exactly we set out to do with this video project. Lots of research and personal experimentation went into gathering and presenting this video. Hope it helps your forehand!
I have gone back to tennis after 5 years of not holding a racket. I used to just hit my forehands flat and after wanting to learn the modern tennis forehand, I am glad I found this video. My friends are amazed at my new modern forehand and I can easily hit the ball with so much pace effortlessly. They thought I had a secret tennis coaching but I tell them to watch your videos. Thanks a lot! Much respect and gratitude from your student in SE Asia!
I'm just starting out in tennis and I've got to say this is one of the best, tightest and most technically dense explanations of the use of the wrist lag in the forehand that I've seen. Thanks for the video.
What a GREAT video!! Superb guys. You break down something that few discuss or can articulate properly. You do it in an objective manner with facts and examples. Insane!!
I have watched hundreds if not thousands of tennis instruction on UA-cam. Your knowledge of the modern forehand stroke and ability to explain its execution is possibly the best i've seen. You are a gift to the UA-cam tennis world. Thank you.
Racquet Flex - Great job ! I was working on developing some innovative double drills, and on UA-cam it popped your video. When I saw the title I clicked it ! For a long time I was teaching about the importance of the wrist , non dominant hand, position etc but this is the first video the explains so clearly the role of the wrist . Congratulations !
Wow. This video made me hit the Subscribe button. I was taught to keep my wrist cocked all the way thru til the point of contact, which also resulted in habitual death grips. Finally, someone is able to guide me (with lots of repeat slow mo vids) on how to transition away from those bad habits! All this other other YT channels are great and all but you’ll the first to “get” my exact problem. Thank you!!!!!
I have watched many videos on hitting forehands like Federer. This is the first one I have seen that addresses grip pressure and relaxing the wrist. Well done. I am now subscribed.
This channel is far and away the best tennis learning channel on youtube. Very modern style of editing is exactly what tennis tutorials needed. Keep going!
Yo this video is amazing because the way youre teaching the wrist motion in the forehand is not strict. Many videos are very strict with rules that “you must do” when really it depends on the ball you get. Great stuff!
This is the best tutorial for the modern forehand I've come across. As an old competitive player from his high school and college days 20 years ago, I've had to breakdown my fundamentals to add the new modern mechanics. I've watched many videos and but I only fully understood how to remake my shot with your instruction. Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Great video. Good analysis. Only one small quibble. There is technically no such thing as centrifugal force. It’s an example of inertia and Newton’s First Law of motion. But I’m just nitpicking.
I don't know if you came up with the ball and socket to explain the path of the racket, but if you did, you are a genius! I mean it. This gave me so much insight.
Sir , I am thankful . Just today I was thinking about wrist position and found this video. Thanks. I have subscribed and liked the video.I will watch more videos on when to straighten the hand , when to start to use force to hit the ball after we drop it down from high to ground side. thanks.
excellent video..I'm constantly told that i'm holding the racquet too tight or too loose despite never dropping my racquet . Your video makes it very clear about how the wrist should work with the racquet to get the best forehand and exercises to practice the techniques...I am looking forward to using all these instructions!
Liked and Subscribed!!! By far the best explanation & instructional video on tennis forehand. I'm so glad youtube algorithm worked because I just spent the last 3 days watching countless videos about forehands to no avail! Look forward to the others 👍👍
Someone finally took the time to explain the lag correctly, my forehand is alright long time ago because I too learnt the long and hard way, this video will save alot of people's time, thank you.
I've been looking for a video like this for two years now. I'm going to take these lessons and hammer them out over the next few weeks and see if my forehand improves, and I'll update this accordingly
Dude, you just fixed my forehand! I grew up playing tennis. but I haven't played in many years, and I just started up again about a month ago. While my backhand is still deadly, my forehand was just sucking, and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I found your video, practiced the drills, went to my local backboard and found a HUGE improvement and massive power increase. Thanks!!!!
I agree with everything that was said... im very suprized at the amount of knowledge you have, how did you get such a great understanding and knowledge of these technical elements?
@@RacquetFlex This is the way to do it. I find that coaches far too often solely rely on other coaches (big names) to set the curriculum when really it should be learning by trial and error, and then research, followed by more trial and error. Also, an understanding of different concepts in biomechanics and physics (as you obviously have) helps. Ps- unlike the above commentor (who i am sure meant no offense), I am not "very surprised at the amount of knowledge yo have" bc i know how many young, talented minds there are out there. Keep up this masterful work.
I love racquetflex’s videos. They are really technical and he gives you drills to incorporate his lessons. I’ve been working on this forehand technique for about 10 years. It looks easy but it’s quite hard to master if you learned a flat forehand.
best video i've seen yet. answers to many questions and makes it easy to practice the motion with logical natural movements versus forced movements that some other videos portrayed. well done
thanks for such a helpful video! i have wrist pain from doing supination and pronation. i think i hold my racket too tightly. your video has given me new hope!
This video is by far the most helpful, detailed, and clear instructional video I have seen, and I have been working on this shot for several years! I changed my grip a while back, and this has cleared up several areas of confusion for me. Very, Very well done!! I don't know if you are doing any tennis instruction or coaching, but it seems to me you have a real gift for making the process clear! Great Work! I am a now a subscriber for sure!
Sick video. Love the way you've approacher this. Loving the tunes on your videos too. Watched a bunch of videos trying to explain this. Absolutely top job.
Wow! I've heard so many people talk about this, and I've tried to incorporate it for the last few years. But you did an amazing job of breaking it down in this video. NIce work.
After watching this video twice and doing the drills at the end. I went out and played a few sets. All incan say is, I played like a champ. Hit powerful, deep penetrating forehands. It was, in short, a beat down!! I will do the drills as a part of my warmups henceforth. Thanks guys. You are the best!!!!
Hey Peter! WOW, that is so incredible. I am so glad to hear that you watched the video multiple times AND applied it too. Thanks so much for your support! Wish you nothing but the best :)
Great video! Detailed explanation of best forhend in tennis.... forhand that Roger Federer plays... If you learn this , you opened doors for many things!! Great work man!!!
how can I pay you the best video i ever watched , after 4 weeks I am ripping balls like I never did in my 10 years of playing tennis

@@MrLjpadk11 sir you may try concentrating on what is important: The lesson.
@@MrLjpadk11 Your comment sucks. If you're concentrating on his hair, perhaps a rethink of your priorities is in order? (PS, I love the hair!)
MrLjpadk11 I never knew hair could detract from a person’s skill, thanks for the insight I’m glad I didn’t make this fatal mistake.
This guy is a genius. Never seen a video so well explained, so technically detailed, so well illustrated with images. Bravo
Yea he said everything except how to actually hit the ball . So it’s useless

We need a similar video for the one handed back hand... Please
Ayman: Why not just mirror the forehand?
This video is fantastic. I can tell so much that you guys have really put the work in mentally and physically.

Holy crap. This is hands down the best tennis instruction video on youtube I've seen so far! Thanks for the great advice man!
I took so many lessons and didn’t get it until now. Thank you!!
This video is the best one on the modern forehand anywhere. Your analysis is clear, concise and the video is excellent too. Great job...thanks!!
Thank you so much for this video. I feel like this opened my playing completely. No more stiffness or awkwardness.
Damn. The most articulate analysis on this subject I’ve seen.. and it’s coming from someone who has a heck of a forehand. Quality stuff
Best forehand vid on UA-cam. Great analysis!!
Yo this video is amazing because the way youre teaching the wrist motion in the forehand is not strict. Many videos are very strict with rules that “you must do” when really it depends on the ball you get. Great stuff!
wow this must be the best video for explaining this topic, well structured and it's only ten minutes long, congratulations!
The best Forehand Video that i have ever seen before, and i have seen a lot.

tb cara.. achei um dos mlehores q vi tb!
Wonderful analysis, wonderfully explained. Best I've seen. Typical of your site. Keep it up.
the BEST video about Federer forehand EVER!!!
thank you!
GREAT video. The way you repeatedly rewind and replay the swing really drives the point home about how loose the wrist can be to get good wrist lag.
Sir , I am thankful . Just today I was thinking about wrist position and found this video. Thanks. I have subscribed and liked the video.I will watch more videos on when to straighten the hand , when to start to use force to hit the ball after we drop it down from high to ground side. thanks.

this is such a well done video. Cant wait to try these suggestions.
Excellent! Let us know how it goes :)
Best Tennis channel, love you guys. Appreciate from Poland players!
Best technical explanation of the modern forehand ever. Great job!
Thank you!

best video i've seen yet. answers to many questions and makes it easy to practice the motion with logical natural movements versus forced movements that some other videos portrayed. well done
This channel is outstanding. No one can teach this things perfectly like you.
Thanks❤🙏
This is deep analysis I never had in youtube. Thank you.
Great video dude. And finally someone who isn't saying "actively use your wrist to generate topspin" 💯
Such a good video! Thanks for the tips!
Excellent use of video and pictures… great break down!
One of the best forehand videos I’ve seen. Very clearly & simply explained with great demonstrations.
