Well done with the explanation and illustration Kevin!
One thing I would add, that I think most coaches overlook, is that synching the drop and turn is ALSO the key to the serve. Learning and drilling this fact completely changed everything for me on the serve. The serve should be as easy as the forehand, and it is with this realization.
Great video. I've been telling tennis friends for years that tension or being tight robs you of power and spin. It's amazing what people can do if they stay loose and relaxed.
You have become my favorite UA-cam coach. I watch your vids and then watch slow motion vids of Federer to further see what you are saying. I noticed that Federer’s arm is fully extended and RELAXED at the back of the forehand ground stroke. By relaxing and fully extending my arm (relaxed) at the very back of the swing I found I have far more effortless power. The arm may slightly bend during the swing, but if it starts out relaxed and extended at the very back of the swing, then I have good results.
I've been learning the TTD way of easy racket head speed. Taming it is the next challenge. Using string face orientation and swing path in different ways (another of your videos!) makes tennis more interesting.
Other things helping my stroke: deciding early how I want the ball to go, string face orientation, and keeping my head down during and for a "Federer time interval" after ball contact
Thanks!
Really enjoy the fact that you have drills for each tip, that you can do at home :) makes it much easier
I LOVEEEEE your video and in HD (4K)!!! Thanks.
It packs with a LOT of basic and essential concepts that many coaches don't mention such as kinetic chain reaction, Newton's third law against the ground, gravitational force to let the racket drop, ease your arm tension by holding your racket with 3 fingers only, etc...
I also love the way you have the drill so viewers know how to apply and use the concept, saving time and headaches trying to figure it out!
I will look for more of your videos. I don't know if you have any videos discussing about the GRIP. If you don't, would you kindly make one? It's a very basic but extremely important concept often ignored, if you don't know how to hold the racket, how you execute the stroke! By the way, I have Semi-Western grip on both forehand and one-handed backhand! The beauty of it: I don't have to move my hand between forehands or backhands, less things to focus on.
Please keeping up all your good works and thank for your precise and science-based explanations.
Tension is such a common problem and not many coaches teach how to get rid of it. 8:23 - great drill! A big thank you for sharing 🎾🎾🎾
Glad that drill was helpful!
One of the best tennis lessons vids on youtube
He's resuming all of my problems
lol... glad to hear Ed.
resuming as in bringing back all your problems?
Great advice. Also helps with improving consistency on the ground strokes.
Best tennis channel!!!! Great job
Superb explanation Kevin!
Superb tutorial Kevin, thank you.
Very useful advices! Thank you!
Thanks for the video coach, great advice!!! I forget to relax sometimes and have too much tension on my shots, will let a couple of fingers off the racquet when I feel this way in the future.
Awesome Omar!
Racket head power is a more accurate (precise) term than racket head speed. Power is energy/time and energy is, in this case, in the form of kinetic energy, which has contributions from mass and velocity (speed). A heavier racket may move with slightly less speed than a lighter racket, but its momentum (mass times velocity) and therefore kinetic energy could be well worth the extra mass. Heavier rackets are also more stable as they move through the hitting zone and may in turn provide for better ball strikes.
When you talk about using 3 fingers, is it just for practise swings? or with balls?
thanks for the vid
Teach, bro! Thank you.
Thanks Brian!
What a great video! Thanks a lot!!!
Great advice at 6:00! (great tips during the whole video, fantastic job !)
Thanks Teddy!
I practice rotation drills at home but when I actually go play I forget it all.
It's really hard to jump from practicing at home to doing the stroke on the court. Theirs a lot of steps that need to go in-between. Thanks, this is a really important topic for improving.
@@TotalTennisDomination You are right ! One of fastest winner that I made accidentally the other day actually felt so easy. By some miracle I rotated properly. What on court drills would you suggest ?
Also thanks a lot for your videos I have learnt a lot!
Which string do you use in this racket?
Excellent coaching. One question: I am not able to hit the ball, forehand or backhand, as strong as pro, but why do I always drive the outside the court? Thanks.
It's hard to say without seeing your stroke but I would start with adjusting the racquet face and swing path at contact! Thanks
@@TotalTennisDomination Thank you.
Kevin i have a question thats bothering me, i noticed you play with a semi western forehand grip, and one handed backhand.....how do you quickly switch grip when switching from FH to BH?
I aways(when on the baseline) have my forehand grip and when I have to hit a backhand I use my left hand on the throat of the racquet to help me quickly switch grips. Thanks
@@TotalTennisDomination Interesting. My forehand is more natural and easier for me to hit/time; therefore, I use a backhand grip on the baseline and can switch to a forehand grip without ever touching the racquet by my non-hitting hand.
What's your string tension eh?
Sounds spanky
More nonsense from physics ignorant people. Racket momentum is the correct term as momentum is racket mass times racket speed. The racket hitting a ball is a collision whereby momentum is transferred from the racket to the ball, which has mass and incoming speed. It is the change in momentum that is the key.
@Mike Why do I have to agree with misinformation?
Didn’t know the racquet mass was changing during the swing, so speed is proportional to momentum and the use of speed in the place of momentum is fine, especially for the 99.9% of the audience that doesn’t know the difference between a scalar and a vector or the difference between linear and angular velocity, not to mention the effect of impact coefficients on momentum transfer. BTW, although almost everything derives from physics, the proper field of study for dealing with this is dynamics and I studied under Marion.
BTW, Marion was a big tennis fan. I was probably the only person allowed to turn in homework late. He said no until I told him it was so I could play Cal Open qualifying.
Sorry, 40 years ago. It was Meriam. He wrote “the” book.
Keep up the good work.. Rotation of the body actually makes you feel artistic while playing tennis
lol.. I like it! Yes it makes everything so much easier. Thanks
Like dancing.....;-)
Incredible lesson! Really well taught, Kevin!
Kevin thank you so much for this lesson. What about timing. When do you start this motion, especially the start of the roller-coaster. Please help
Useful drill no one explained till now 👍🎾
you are amazing. can I get a private lesson from you ?
Awesome instructor.
Very Good! Tks
But Patrick Mouratoglou says the power comes from the hand, so who is right? He says the forehand is hand lead. I'm confused : /
Definitely not Mouratoglou, he is sadly most of the time wrong regarding the technique, but he can "sell" himself really well
@@danielfilo5739 I fail to see how someone who owns a massive tennis centre and works with pro's can be wrong. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it's all very confusing! Can TTD chime in on this, please, and give some advice?
@@splooshy4014 Nobody is perfect. Mouratoglou is great when it comes to mindset and tactics and thats what most of the pros need. They dont need to adjust their technique much. Best way for you to choose who to believe is to try both approaches and decide for yourself which one is more natural, simple and easier to replicate (the same as I did)
Mouratoglou is right, for the rotational energy to transfer to the racquet, the body must slow down. Like a slingshot
@@luukaskumpulainen7410 Well nobody is denying that. But that is a mere difference between swing and push, thus a different story.
this lesson is spot on. That's how I hit my forehand- big loop and 3 fingers. Pancho gonzalos served with 3-4 fingers on the handle.
Yeah, this is really good. Can't wait to share this with the high school team I am helping coach.
When I get a short waist-high ball four feet from the net,
I usually make it and get power but find myself arming it and I can feel the arm tension as
I try to guide the ball. Is this bad? Do I still need to rotate the hips
on these short easy balls?
Excellent! How about string tension? This would be awesome to understand. Thank you!
That was incredibly helpful!!! Thanks a ton!
This is one of the best videos on the entire web concerning this topic! Wow……💯
Supination happens as as result of uncorking
Yep. This is me. Thanks for the video.
This is such a great lesson!
damn homie you good
You are a great teacher 👌
Great explaination!!!
Awesome video!
Great!
Thanks!!!
Great information but what about us older Folks that play and have issues bending our knees like that? Do you have some help for us. Love your videos they make understand what I'm ding wrong.
You can still get great acceleration without much knee bend if you keep the upper body relaxed. Also on serve note Kyrgios has very little knee bend it’s more about coming quickly out of the shallow bend to explode upwards.
Great video, insightful. I like to think rag doll for relaxation in the arm, hands and hips. Thanks
Yes, that's a great way of thinking about it!
This video is definitely speaking to me. Thanks for the great tips. Keep it up.
Thank you Keimo!
Thanks, Ale from Argentina
Gracias Alejandro!
Do you have tips on how to avoid racket face open at contact?🙏❤️
Really it comes down to watching the ball. I know that sounds lame but it's one of those fundamental things that never gets old and can't be done enough.
Total Tennis Domination thanks. I like your channel. Keep it up the good work. 🙏🎾👍
You da man!
lol...Thanks
