Since I started playing for the last 4 years I never knew why I couldn't achieve topspin now I know why it was my follow through such a great tip I never knew what to do with my arm after I hit the ball, just went and hit about 50 balls at the courts and 90% went in with top spin thanx so much
As always, Platinum content by the Perfect Bearded One! I think I've said this probably a thousand times now...in this hidden youtube corner, you guys are the undiscovered gem. Cheers and a great week! M
Great tips Nate. I hit inconsistently sometimes going for too much topspin and this is why…my arm breaks down so I lose the leg/body connection to generate power. Your tips will help with this. Thanks again! 👊🙂
I just spotted you guys behind Andy Murray at the Citi Open. 😂 I'm home injured, otherwise I would have been there myself. I'm only 45 mins away. Hope you guys have a good time!
great timing on this video! as i work my way back into the game...i find myself mis-hitting quite a bit on my forehand (catching the bottom of the racquet on the upswing). i know my timing is still off which is part of it...but i believe my swing is too vertical. going to try to work on fixing my swing path to drive the ball a bit better.
GREAT video. Nadal and Alcaraz hit ridiculously heavy forehands, but it looks like they are leaning backwards at contact. We're always taught to lean forward for power. Is it just an optical illusion when they're uncoiling their body?
It looks like they are leaning backwards but they are actually lifting up the non-dominant leg off the floor as they are pushing off the dominant leg (see the first Alcaraz FH in the video. They get slightly airborne, and the hips follow through after contact to land on non-dominant leg
I want to give sa little advise the one you show is only flat topspin, the heavy topspin is your body will go up before contact and you will see when ball bounce on the on the opposite court ball will kick..
Apprecitte the feedback but not sure the body lifting up is ideal on any shot. The racquet path on the forward swing will ultimately dictate the amount of spin on the shot whereas the body should remain stable throughout the coil and uncoil phase of the stroke.
My top spin always come short and land inside the service line. I dont know if it good or bad. And I then change to hightop spin that always land on service line. Im still a beginner and excited to try your advice
Hi I have difficulty hitting the forehand. When hitting forehand, the ball has to come to me at a very specific contact point (at waist level or lower) and I have no problem with getting my swing right. The problem is if it's a high ball to my forehand. With my backhand, no difficulty if high or low..with forehand, even if I try to move back, I lose momentum and lose power when I try to get the ball at my contact point. It gets hard for me to hit whenever I get a forehand and I'm struggling with high ball

Heavy topspin and penetrating topspin the same? If not, what's the difference in the swing path of both?
Good question, they are largley the same from our interpretation
@@Playyourcourt From my interpretation, heavy topspin lands deep has high bounce whereas penetrating lands short but high bounce?
My points of interest:
2:26 - Topspin Roles: Shoulder & arm vs forearm & hand wave
3:57 - Elbow Pointing Forward Finish for Pro Topspin (Feels Great)
Thanks! Great lesson!🎾
Glad you enjoyed it!

Mini Tennis is this drill. Thanks for the confirmation.

How's the Tiafoe-Evans match? Saw you guys on TV.
Great match! Was rooting for our hometown guy but Evans was on 🔥
Thanks Nate!
Most welcome!
Sounds good, but doesn't this cause inconsistency, because, the ball is moving and rising at different rates. The wrist part looks familiar though.
Sorry, it ist not the hand, its the forearm. It is pronation.
Not everything in tennis is pronation XD like in this case
You lost me at "the legs". They're hardly doing anything
Yes they are, they create the base for rotation of the body and the froce to push from the ground to drive more force through the shot…
@@surprisedpikachuface-g9wthey probably contribute 60-70 percent towards the spin
