@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial look at one of the comments on your nick kyrgios forehand video the comment got 100 likes promising that you will do nick kyrgios backhand
Sorry for off topic comment, but just found a really odd but helpful tip on holding the racquet throat in the ready position with the index finger on the strings. It's a great reminder and gives feel for getting the racquet into the proper power position at the end of the take back. You don't keep the finger there long, but try it and you'll see that starting the take back with the index finger on the strings results in the racquet being in a better orientation during take back, especially for a single-handed backhand like Federer's.
wow, the part about if you were a returner facing Federer you would be looking at his back, that was really eye-opening! Also really like the discussion of platform stance and getting both legs to drive upwards equally. Great stuff! At my level, most people are serving to me completely square to me I can see the writing on their shirt. I'm going to try and turn more sideways, maybe even show my back :)
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial You guys pretty much have it all covered honestly, so congrats ! Having said that i personally would enjoy another "Fed Slice" video ! how he really "knifes it" keeping the racquet head tip pointed down after contact you know ? seems to be less of a continuous long motion, his shoulder blades really squeeze to stop the flow of the motion which make it look like a proper tight jab/knifing.... you have covered the backhand slice already of course, but as with your forehand lessons I would really enjoy another in depth-look into it perhaps... Thank You for everything Simon, my game has improved immensely due to TTT, perhaps when I move back to London in October I'll reach out for a lesson face-to-face, meet the legends themselves haha ! cheers
Best tennis channel on youtube by far. Really interesting to see your insight on how his forehand is so versatile. I've tried playing with Western grips and you do automatically generate a huge amount of spin but it's harder to finish off points with flat and deep winners.
Superb breakdown on the Fed forehand. No doubt to me that he and Nadal have the best forehands ever. I am uncertain which is better. One argument to me favoring Nadal's is that to me, Fed does everything else better(except overheads) and yet Nadal has done what he has done, primarily to me because of that forehand. I would love you to break down how Nadal regularly produces his somewhat unique hook spin action on his forehand.
Great video, loved it. Maybe a bit off topic but: I notice that a lot of pro players play without a dampener, you included Simon. What do you think of playing with or without a dampener?
I can't stand playing with a dampener, for me it destroys the feel of the strings, I don't get the same feedback from the shots. I don't know of many pros who use them, some players use a rubber band instead to stop the strings vibrating as much but these days with the new string types, that's not so much of a factor. All the best Simon
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thanks for the reply. I've been using dampeners since a was a kid, playing without feels strange in the beginning but I'm gonna try it because of your mention about the feedback from hitting the ball.
Top Tennis Training - Pro Tennis Lessons A pure strength video focusing on tennis, aprecciate a lot your channel, I’ve learned a lot with your videos Simon, Big fan from Brazil 🇧🇷
Great Video!! loved ur part by part breakdown. Federer's forehand is a little wristy (?) it seems that during the lag before the point of contact, there is a wrist involved for generating that whip like effect?
Hi Simon, just wondering what's your best tip to rip high ball to the forehand (slow ball with low opponent's pace such as when opponent mishit the ball with the frame) with eastern grip ? Thank you for your great video btw !
I would focus on using the legs to drive up into the ball and then pull over the ball with aggressive racket head speed. Are there any lessons you would like to see in the near future? All the best Simon
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thanks so much for your tip Simon, can't wait to practice that this week.. I would love to see in-depth analysis of Federer's volley technique especially his footwork approaching towards and at the net. Also, how he cover the court well at the net.. Cheers !
What I noticed today (or rather it clicked in my mind) is that Federer does indeed hold the trophy position for maybe a fraction of a second. Long enough that I noticed without watching in slow motion. This contradicts the advice of some UA-cam tennis "experts" recommending NOT to hold the trophy position but rather swing the racquet in one motion. Someone, please, tell Federer that he is doing it wrong! Thank you for the video Simon.
Federer does have a split second pause in the trophy position before he explodes. I have made lessons on the subject before and I'm a huge believer in having a continuous motion with no large pauses. The issue is not having a pause for a split second but doing what many club players do which is stopping for a good 0.5-1.0 second in that trophy position and losing all the momentum they've created until that point. I cover it in depth in this video - ua-cam.com/video/iUH6KJ2TBa8/v-deo.html
I really like your guides, but i have one request, can you add russian subtitles please, cause on russian youtube there is nothing good about how to play tennis truly, thanks for all your work)))
The Roger Federer Paradox: he plays the perfect and most beautiful tennis, yet don't try this at home. Don't waste time trying to copy Roger's style. No matter how hard you try, it's not going to work. In order to strike like him, you should be able to process information like he does and you should have the same brain-muscles connection like his to achieve a similar body coordination. In his case, this is the result of NATURAL talent and countless hours of training. Unless you're in the Matrix where you can get uploaded with RF's tennis, don't bother trying to imitate him. The only possible outcome would be a long series of balls thrown to the net or outside. Now, even in case you somehow manage to hit like him, that's only half of the story. Good luck with trying to copy his timing and footwork. And by the way, you should also be able to make all of this look effortless. I know everybody wishes they could play like Fed. It's just not possible, sorry. As a matter of fact, have you ever seen anyone play like federer? No? In your opinion, why isn't there anyone who plays like him? Do you think no one has ever tried? I appreciate this video because it tries to explain how, in theory, one could play like Roger Federer. In reality, this is just an illusion and it gives false hope.
Nobody is advocating to copy Federer exactly. We’re sharing the information that people can actually copy. Footwork patterns can be learned. How to track the ball can be learned. How to exhale during contact. How to stay loose. How to use the major muscles for power. All of these things can and should be done

Cant wait!!
Let's celebrate Roger Federer's 39th birthday in style - by breaking down his game and using some of his secrets
It’s more mental. Djokovic definitely has the mental edge over him
@@vaibhavm8043 why can't Djokovic beat Kyrgios?🤔
In our rec games if I hit corners on serves like federer or yours it is called out. Most of them call it out before it bounces
We have a name for people like that - cheating scumbags!
Can you do one for nick kyrgios backhand?
The bunt? 😂
If your comment gets 100 likes, consider it done!

It's one of the best ways to get the non-hitting hand to hold the weight of the racket so that the playing hand can be very loose!
