loose grip and decreasing tension is the key - thank you very much! This tension gave me golfer's elbow but the blessing is, now I have to learn the right way! Thanks again.

Can't believe how much easier it is to swing with this lag whip motion compared to forcing the entire arm out.

A very helpful tip Ben easy to do, the feeling of the ball is great. Thank you.

I think that the most important part of the backswing is when you move your wrist forward, as you show us, and we can get more power effortlesly, it's amazing how much power you can get, thanks Ben great tip.

Thanks once again for these valuable tips!

Very nice. So glad you gave up "Part 2". Helped to further the value of your teaching. Thanks.

Hello from Brazil Ive been watching all your videos. Very instructive . ;)

Very helpful, thanks!

Good one Ben. Keep posting those tips

Part 1 is the best tip I've ever seen. Thank you so much, Ben. My forehand changed instantly. I don't even hit hard, still get more power and topspin. However, I had to practice a bit to adjust a rachet angle at contact and try not to mis-hit with my lower frame.

Again ...great tip !!!!

very useful tip. thanks

Brilliant

Thanks again for the instruction. It's interesting to watch Fabio Fognini (well its interesting to watch this hot headed Medeterranean for a number of reasons... ), but it's interesting to see this lag operation perhaps in its purest form. He has no takeback of his racket whatsover, yet he generates a ton of racket speed with the technique that you have been demonstrating.

Great! Thank you!

Thank you👁️🙌

Solid tips, well explained.

You are doing a good job here Ben - really fine tips; your background as a science teacher shines through... I have a video by Oscar Wegner (MTM: Finding the Ball) where he has the student grip the racket by inserting racket handle through the forefinger & middle finger, instead of having forefinger wrap around racket; very weird at first but forces student to grip with last two fingers instead and they must relax hand...

Hi Ben, I enjoy your channel. I just want to point out that the "fist moving forward" is a relaxed wrist with some ulnar deviation. Its a combination of the angular momentum from the hip initiation for a "heavy ball" but this also happens with hitting a low ball on the run. If i relax my wrist it with mild grip pressure and I move forward, the racket lags behind, but anatomically it's in ulnar deviation

You are a great teacher, Ben. Great video.

best tennis video i have ever seen

very nice video and teaching. good luck on your online videos.

That bringing the hand forward not the racquet is a great tip! Tricky to employ at first.

Your technique looks a lot like Roger Federer. Can't wait to try this out!

Short balls (and missing them)! There are a few good videos on how to handle short balls on the net either with forehand (while in play) or with a weak serve. Could you do videos on this too? I often hit too short or too long on balls that I know should be a winner.

Well, the head speed is fine, but the shoulder opens up early. The stroke works fine if the swing is earlier compared to shoulder opening up. May be some clarification is needed on the shoulder turn as well.

Wow got a new point after 4 many years

Hello Ben! What happens with high balls? Is not easy to hit the ball in that way

Great. First time i hear about the pink pressure. makes sense. Gotta feel this of course as not to release the racket which will become a rocket. :) I like your teaching style, as you are a teacher in front of a classroom by profession. :) Now my main problems are: 1- my wrist turns so that the racquet strings do not square with the ball leaving a weak brushing stroke and short ball ending in the net. 2- I do not seem to place myself correctly relative to the ball ending up with an arm close to my body and only the forearm swinging with the ball ending short on the court or in the net. (no porblem with my backhand though). 3- I do not rotate well for starters legs/ hips and torso AND my arm does not extend out and back enough. This because I do not 'see' or 'track"the ball correctly in the space or the court and therefore do not adjust well ending 'crowding", Very frustrating.

I feel i can get more racket speed when i take my small finger off ?

Ben the Man

my request is how to ensure racquet drop.

So covering the fundamentals of tennis is now groundbreaking huh?
