The key details Kevin explained in a few minutes is worth years of experience that most "regular" tennis coaches never mention in clinics for one reason or another.
Took me 10 years to get a forehand like that
Regular coaches need to coach you maybe that's why...
I will go out and practice but boy there is so much to learn.
Tennis coaches job, Is to make sure you take more lessons, so Your coach did a great job
Not only does Kevin have deep domain knowledge in tennis coaching, he also has such great communication skills to translate those knowledge in an understandable way to recreational players like us!
I am glad you are back to making your own videos under your own company. You didn't need that other organization in the first place, you always do a great job. With that said it's time to come home to Huntsville and set up shop. There is plenty of room for you and your tennis significant other.👍
Kevin Garlington!!!! You’re explanation, demonstration, and overall communication is impressively clear, concise, and constructive!! Love the car metaphor and the analogy of the steering wheel for the racquet face along with the importance of foot work being the wheels enabling the car to drive and the pun-intended power of the body being the engine revved up by the Uni-turn! Great great great info and insight edited in an engaging and absorbable way! Way to go Kevin!!!
Stop trying to lag and snap~ so true! It’s all a natural by product of fluid natural intentions (on all strokes)being executed...well naturally fluid 😊👍 Hey Kevin so glad that you and your wife are back grind (ttd)and doing content of an extremely high level. Keep up the brilliance 🎇
Finally someone talking some serious stuff without trash. Awesome you deserve more subs
Wish u were my coach😕 The way u explained, was perfect!!!!!
Indeed thank you for helping in upgrading my understanding - my game has changed. Now the effort is mine :)
Omg! this is the video that I've been looking for. Kevin, thanks so much for going into detail about how to control the racquet face. I'm in FL, we have hurricane Ian passing through our state right now, so I'm at home binge watching your videos and absorbing all these concepts that you share. I can't wait to go out and practice them
Very pleasant young man, and a fantastic instructor. I've recently returned to tennis after a 4-year hiatus, and have watched a number of his instructional videos.
This Coach goes straight to the point Concerning the forehand Technique in Tennis tournaments and Circles,
Outstanding instruction. It’s excellent how you break it down into specific, manageable lessons. easy to understand, and apply the technic. Thank you.
Might be the best lesson on the forehand I've ever seen. Two thumbs up!!
This is the best instruction I’ve seen re any technique in tennis.
Beginner here, I really like your in-depth teaching style, it perfectly compliments my instructor's words, thank you, just subscribed!
Such a great explainer of the game. Every. Time.
Thanks Doug!
@@TotalTennisDomination I coached for fifteen years and wish I could have had the privilege to have taught with you for just one of them! Keep going man: strong coach game, strong coach game.
This is the best video on the forehand which is a great weapon to achieve success.
Absolutely different than other forehand videos. I definitely learned something new.
I've watched countless coaching videos, forehand slow mo videos from pros and this was the only person/video that made me see and realize what I was doing wrong in my forehand! amazing video
Hey you are absolutely right. Most forehand videos don't mention this last crucial part you focus on at the end. Thank you!
Excellent video! Thanks for using terms about stances, "open" vs "neutral" correctly, and stating to avoid the "closed" stance. Many videos on UA-cam use the term "closed" when referring to neutral stance...
Kudos, Kevin! I started playing recreational tennis last year, Thanks for the lessons ❤
Lieber Kevin,
Vorerst Gratulation zu deinem tollen Kanal.
Für mich ist dies mit Abstand der detailierteste Tennis Kanal den ich gesehen habe.
Deine Art zu erklären ist klar und gut zu verstehen.
Auch die exakte Analyse der einzelnen Schritte ist für mich sehr hilfreich.
Von mir gibt es auf jeden Fall ein Abo - vielen Dank für deine Arbeit.
Für mich als Tennis Neuling ist das sehr hilfreich und sehr fördernd beim Lernprozess.
Lieber Gruß aus Österreich und weiterhin viel Erfolg.
Gruß, Dali 👍
Kevin, you're an amazing teacher. You explain both how and why. I feel like Neo in The Matrix - suddenly everything is in slow motion and makes sense. Bravo!
This is the perfect explanation video I have come across. Second time watching it, after practicing I seem to learn something new whenever I rewatch it. Thanks Kevin.
Kevin, I like your no bs coaching but also very effective. Thank you...
Thannk you so much, Kevin. This is by far the best explanation for a forehead I've seen! As a beginner, this is gold!
I thought this was an Essentials Tennis video lmao. Happy to see one of my favorite online instructors.
I have seen over a dozen videos on how to have a good forehand for beginners and this is by far the best one in UA-cam, thank you!
Best tennis videos I’ve stumbled on on UA-cam
This video is great, especially the bit around the racket face. That explains the outcome quite well and something that has been bugging me for a long time, years! Thanks mate
Car comparison made it easier to understand & retain it during execution, thank you very much for the clear explanation
Thank you sooo much. My teacher sent this video to me and I'm so happy he did, as a begginer trying to improve my forehand it was extremely helpful.
This is so much better than Ryan from 2minute tennis! A lot more effective and easier to execute especially for high level tennis.
Kevin, thank you so.much from Colombia, south america. I am studying all your videos so I can coach my kids. Priceless man, god bless you.
I love u already. I knew in the beginning of vid that this gonna be fresh. I'm practicing forehand a lot and today in court I managed to hit some 4-5 rly hard winners. I'll keep learning. My problem is when people focus too much on details in Forehand teachings, I like your very holistic approach bcz hitting it in practice requires a holistic technique.Thanks!
Outstanding video Kevin. The racket face explanation is the difference between many videos I've watched and yours. Thank you.
This video and your other video entitled “what Novak Djokovic taught me about my forehand” helped me see the flaw in my forehand. My racquet arm was pushing my hips and left shoulder rather than my hips and shoulders pulling my racket arm across the ball.
I have a hard time serving, after seeing this video, it’s Very helpful to me. I will go to the court and practice.
Please have short video with tossing the ball with the serves
Your actually demonstrating teaching what I try to teach people.
well done, rellay loves the explantation loud and clear
this guy is the best
thanks for the simple to understand pointers.
This really helped me because every time I’m at clinic they always show me how to hit it with the racket, they don’t show those key details in the body.
After decades playing tennis, and nearly two decades of wondering why and how some players use that extreme western grip, I know - FINALLY - understand/know!!! Thanks buddy : )
Kevin - you rock! I wish i could take lessons from you
Watching this video once a week. Great work.
very nice mate. the racquet face at contact is really the key. ty
Hi Kevin great explanation i learned so match thank you very match from Switzerland 🇨🇭👍👍ol the best for the future
Kevin, you are simply the best video trainer out there. You explain things better than anyone else. Thanks and please keep going!! 👍👏
Great technique development instruction...
Great break down. I get what you're saying. About everything is important to be consistent but the main thing is your racket face at contact to pull off the right shot. How often a pro hits a great shot not in the optimal position or even technique but executed it by instinct and jockeying his strings in the right position/ angle. But this is reinforcement of the main achievement of a shot together with the various component build up.
All of his videos are great and he's one of the best online coaches because of his ability to articulate and demonstrate what he is teaching. He's helped me a lot! Does anyone know what state he teaches in?
The best forehand video ever
One of the best tutorial. especially the face of the raquet at contact point, and the stance. thank you very much.
Awesome video. Really useful and informative. Thanks!
Great video. I've seen most of these concepts but this is the first time that it was put together and then their relationship with each other were explained and which are more important to an effective result. Thank you.
Great explanation, very specific and following progressions.
Great explanation using the car analogy. Also, I like how you connect the forehand to other shots by showing what slight adjustments you need to do.
Great video, one of the best forehand videos I've seen. Thanks Kevin.
The best way expalined on the internet. Super kev I'll remember this
Brilliant again! I've been helping some people who have struggled and tell them many of the great points you make here. So many people get confused with "all the other stuff". Thank you for breaking it down so clearly!
Best tutorial!! I’m ready to practice these tips. Thank you 😊
You are the BEST tennis instructor!!
I learned many new things. Awesome lesson! Thank you. What I like the best was to relax and appropriately rotate the hips, that will generate the power. Fantastic
Great teaching. Concise and accurate. And interestingly. Thank you! You are awesome!
This video is a gem, thank you so much.
Amazing, simple, logic and very helpful thank u so much
the racket face concept is so helpful. I'm still trying to figure out the western and semi western grip
Thank you sir... Love you so much for making this video to play perfect....
Hi Kevin,
I used an Eastern grip forever but lately, especially when trying to get some top spin, I send the ball long. So I switched to a semi-western grip and routinely sent the ball into the net. THEN I watched this video and everything changed!
Most of what you talked about I've heard many times before until you said "the stance you want to AVOID is the closed stance" and I said umm, what?? Following all of the instruction online about unit turn with racquet up, racquet drop, swinging low to high was all excellent information but it naturally put me in a closed stance. I strongly suspected my issue was a late contact point so my racquet face wasn't square to the ball. With a closed stance, to contact the ball out in front, the ball is just too far away and with attempted top spin...disaster ensues. When you said to avoid a closed stance, I took some air practice in my living room with an open and neutral stance, and THAT felt great! I could tell right away that the contact point will be further back in relation to my swing so my racquet face would be square at contact. I took that out to the court and, with my semi-western grip, just ripped the ball!! It was brilliant! As long as I remembered not to chicken out and SWING at the ball, it was awesome.
I sooo wish that the point of not having a closed stance would be hammered home as much as unit turn, racquet drop, etc. I found it to be absolutely crucial! Thanks for this brilliant help! -Andrew-
That’s interesting. I think you could also say that rotation is only possible with an open stance because in a closed stance you’re already on your front foot when starting the swing.
Better than most forehand videos!! Thanks so much, it's gonna help me enormously!
Great to hear that it's will make a difference! Thanks
Best online video in my opinion. I watched lots of videos but your videos are always excellent and watchable to the very end.
I felt directing the ball point based on approach and face position went a little fast. Please make a video on that. We always struggle controlling direction and end up sending it to the middle. When a direction change is attempted it flares out. These are common mistakes by amateurs
ALl good stuff, Clear explanation. All makes perfect sense. Must check out more videos
These techniques has helped me to level up rapidly, thank you kevin, your vdos are great help !
Great vid man! You're a very good presenter.
It was a great learning !!!!!! THANKS
It's like Kevin knows my tennis on a personal level & is generously talking about all the key points.
best forehand video ever.
This is great stuff! Thanks for making your videos!
Really good video Kevin. Thanks for explaining the racquet snap. I would watch Agassi and Courier do this and could never figure it out! Also, I feel like footwork and positioning and anticipation is everything in tennis. Whenever, I did that, forehand and backhand so much better.
Yes, absolutely footwork not only has you well prepared but has you focused so you think and worry less and just play.
Very helpful tips! Thank you!
Im new to the game and he makes this so easy to understand…well done.
Great instructions and explanation. Thank you.
Another tremendous video from Kevin. Thank you very much.....Love the humor at 9:20 !!!
I appreciatevery much your presetation
Thank you Kevin🎉
Another great lesson Kevin. Thank you!
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you
Thanks for sharing! Great Job!!
Very good explanation and details. I’ve watched a few of his videos, and the only thing better would be some one on one lessons!
Hi, I thought you could mention that your grip, as you swing, turns over. Along with your tip of having your hip turn ahead of the ball, having a follow through of your hand turning over, helps players who aren't taking full advantage of your message.
Additionally, would like to hear your comments on swinging away on a higher ball, and the shot from the mid court service line.
Well done on your explanations, thank you
Excellent, thanks!
Amazing explanation. Thank you so much
Best youtube teenis channel ever
simple, clear great video
I only play pickleball but knew a good tennis instructor would be able to explain the fh better thank you
Perfect explanation, Perfect speaking, Perfect mouth
Great video and advice
The best dissection of the forehand, esp. the last point; making sure to control the angle of the racquet face, doesn't matter how good the rest of the stroke is. Seems obvious, but it isn't. I haven't heard that point made on other channels.
