Just bought your book on the forehand and it's _excellent_ - like this channel - full of detailed, technical information, all clearly presented and accessible as always, literally crammed full of novel insights and some very creative techniques to apply them. Head and shoulders above the hackneyed subject matter and rote methodology of standard tennis instruction. I can't wait to get the one on the serve, as this one is FIVE STARS!

You are a genius... Every lesson is new and original

Another great and creating lesson. Thank you

Another great video. Thank you so much

I can't wait to try this. Thank you so much

I had to comment because after using this little technique adjustment I was able to really transform my forehand. So much more spin. I can’t get over how much this worked. Thank you !

Wow... Thanks for this great video..

Can you make a video on the two handed backhand please

Another great video

Thanks very much! I haven't tried on the court (it has been wet here in Portland) but when I tried it in the garage, I could feel that my entire latissimus and longissimus are at work! I'm not a golfer, but can only guesstimate that this swing simulates a golfer's swing. Your no-nonsense instructions are the BEST!

Simply brilliant

Fascinating stuff, can't wait to try out your recommendations.

Awesome tip, would never think of it. Will definitely use it, thank you!

reminds me of the Guga forehand 👌

So useful best lessons on line I found

Played a tournament recently and performed subpar on forehand wing and with double faults. KZfaq gods recommended your channel and your topspin serve progression video and this video are exactly what I needed. Thanks so much.

Great really great! U made the way for me, coz I have thought it over finger to finger or finger to thumb, thanks appreciated!

Another great and easy to follow tip!! This, plus the helicopter tip, have improved my FH so much! Thank you coach!

Thank you Mr. This is great. I never understood this mecanics work in the body. Juan Donayre From Ica-Perú

i tried this and the results were amazing !!!.. before this video i struggled to achieve top spin, but with this lesson my forehand changed for the best..thanks so much for your videos...if any amateur or recreational player wants to improve, no doubt you are one of the best coaches out there...

Great explanation. I tried it and it worked. You are a fabulous teacher, always look forward to your posts.

Wow. Can’t wait to try this

Wauw. Great explanation and piece of advice.

amazing trick

This is brilliant!

Awesome thank you!

Energy or Force is forward movement of Racket on the Ball, balanced by Top Spin, which pushes the ball down due to friction in air , any imbalance will cause a wrong hit.

; - )... I will try this when the rains stop. A very curious lesson, but it makes sense when you explain it. Have a good s day. ps: I used to teach full time.

Good morning Mr. I had apply your tip in the court and it is amaizing, thank you very much. Excuse me for my english, I don't speak english very well. Juan José from Ica-Perú.

Interesting ideed!

Great job as always! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏

It works! Thank you.

the best "tip" ( it´s most, most important than a single tip ) that I ever saw.....

Very interesting and unique!!! Can't wait to try it out. The grip is eastern, semi-western, or western?

omg I have been dong finger to finger the whole time, I will try finger to thumb ASAP! This is very original content people to do not talk about this.

Thank you! Do you also have a video on how to have proper lateral distance to ball? I think a lot of people suffer from hitting too much in the front because of not enough lateral distance leading to lost of power. This will probably relate to VVS and proper unit turn but it is tough to make it reliable.

I'm so happy I discovered your videos. I'm all excited watching this but unfortunately for some reason, my brain is just not grasping it. I know it's just one simple thing that can possibly make a world of difference. Ugh, I'm going to watch this with a friend and hopefully they can see what I can't. I have no doubt if we were in person I could " See " it and truly understand what you're teaching.

Hi...I have beginners that are hitting side spin...do you think this will correct the issue? Also, the talk of a longer follow thru or a more inside out swing path is that out dated theory?...thanks and love the information provided.

Good trick for stroke correction.

the only difference if you ask me is that you have more internal shoulder rotation which makes it easier to go to thumb. but the action toward contact (flexion and pronation)are the same and right after contact its the ISR that gets more active. only my opinion

Patrick Mourataglou should react to this

Amazing tip! Most of the time I catch my racket after the swing with my fingers not with thumb. Just gonna wait for a sunny day to try your tip. Thanks.

Excellent content. I'm hooked on this channel in a world with so much mediocre tennis instruction and endless tennis pro clichés.

What do you say about effectiveness of topspin pro?

Ooooo dat good ! What I do without you?

Very interesting. My Kid's coach is asking her to swing such that her elbow ends up higher after the FH for better top spin and more fluid stroke. I just tried what you advise here. Finger to Finger will never be able to achieve a high elbow. However, finger to thumb will end up with a higher elbow. I will need to check what my kid does the next time we go to the court. Also, just tried this myself and find that with a semi western grip it is kind of hard to lay finger on the tape at unit turn as the racket face is towards the the side fence. Is the main idea is to finish on the thumb and not worry too much about the finger part at the start? Am I missing something? I think you are showing a eastern fh grip and hence you can touch the tape with your finger.

I like "finger to thumb" very much.

I’m a little confused. Fingers or a thumb touching the tape at the end of the stroke is all from the left hand grabbing the racket from inside out or outside in. How does that help what already happened on the right hand when hitting the ball?

Hello coach I tried your training method on myself and it works well . I have a good level of tennis . Thank you very much for your training tips

Tin foil works great!

The camera isn't level... Otherwise your videos are totally perfect... Thank you

Dear Sir, thank you for the most ingenious tip! I went to try it and it makes my tennis forehand much more consistent on the first try. (1) However should I treat this method as a permanent stroke or just a temporary one to improve my forehand swing speed? Because this way does make my shoulder a bit sore afterwards, with the elaborate pronation. (2) Does Federer use this "finger to thumb" swing path for his forehand? I tried watching his video but I couldn't confirm it. Some of his shots seem to end with finger to thumb, while others are finger to finger... not sure if I am watching correctly. What is Federer's forehand swing path follow through, can you confirm it please? Thank you again.

It seems to be too complicated taping a racquet throat to finally wacth if a I put a thumb on it.

I don´t quite get it. The position of the fingers and thumb depends on what grip you´re using. Seems you´re using a chopper grip. The position of the fingers and thumb would be quite different if using an Eastern forehand, wouldn´t it?

Alright, I'm gonna go on the record and just say I have a hard time believing this one. So...I'm gonna go try it and I'll be right back. (Note that I do not THINK I have a problem with this swing, but let's see what the old luggage test reveals, shall we?) [ _French Accent:_ A FEW...MOMENTS...LATE-AIR...] Okay, I'm back! Well, it wasn't a complete failure, but there are a few confounding variables. For one, I am in a wheelchair. (It's a minor detail, yes I know, but I thought I'd include it just to be precise.) We don't really hold the racket with our non-dom hand during the unit turn. Also, we don't really make a unit turn, either. You see a few problems already looming on the horizon, don't you. I will say that I think it _does_ make you pronate your wrist more forcefully and quite unconsciously, so as a teaching or learning aid I think it's already tops. I don't know about the "catching with the thumb" idea, this did not make kinesthetic sense to me at all. I found it more natural to "catch' (really 'stop') the racket with again my fingers, my hand turned palm down. This worked for me, it felt natural and really made you get your racket 'round. So yeah, alright, I'll admit that it has some value. Especially with someone unfamiliar with the "modern" forehand/windshield wiper wrist action. Yes, then I think it would be very helpful. Good idea, very creative and kind of unusual. Good job! (as usual...)

Why calls one minute tennis coach if spend various minutes ,unlogical ????
