dude every video I watch I learn so much you are truly a gifted teacher.

Thanks for the tips! My backhand has always been better than my forehand and I am still having trouble with my forehand. My backhand goes natural, my forehand really does not

Wonderful breakdown of the stroke. I especially like the advice to keep the elbows out in the ready position so as to avoid bringing the racket back too far. Thanks

IMO I think you have the best instructional videos on YT. As you explain the check points, you point out the common mistakes and the fixes for them. These are very valuable to us self taught players.

This helped me great back on track against some heavy hitting opponents. I had fallen in to in the habit of jabbing and blocking shots defensively. The check points help guide you back to a more assertive approach. Thanks!

I am also very impressed on your note “elbow out”. Thank you so much!

This is one of the most helpful tennis videos I have ever found on KZfaq. Can you please make one of these for the one-handed backhand, the serve, and volleys as well?

I like the way you explain with the checkpoints. Very useful, thanks!

This is one of the best training illustration for sure. Youre doing a great job!

Definitely the best online coach! Love your posts!

To me your the best virtual coach around Ryan! All of these check points are very helpfull and readily applicable tips. Moreover, this basic and logical technique that you teach allows the weaker player like me to try a modern playing style and still obtaining results rapidly. This is not the case with other coaches around showing the proper technique for in shape or more advanced players

Greetings from Greece... You are a good coach... You explain and you teach tennis.. Few coaches can teach... Bravo

Easily one of the best Instructors on here...TY !!

Excellent explanation for topspin forehand with some great demonstration Ryan. Have watched a lot of other tennis tutorials but yours are one of the best ones I've seen. Many thanks.

tennis is such a fascinatig sport, where little details can cause so much better striking quality. today i watched this video for the first time, and tried to keep the elbow away from the body, and the non hitting arm above the racket in my training today. Of course far away from perfection, but i immediately felt much more comfortable and was able to generate more topsin and consistency with my forehand. something i am really struggling with. gonna focus on these patterns. thank you for your tips. great content

You have a great talent at explaining tennis techniques, much better than anyone else online. Keep up the good work!

Step by step! It is what I always wanted to listen from my teatcher!! Great!!!!

Thank you for these simple poins. I will definitely learn to use them.

Love this. Videos keep getting better and better. More relevant. Bite-sized delicious nuggets of self-improvement.

The best video on forhand tips! Thanks!

Excellent as always! Ready position of my daughter has been off and you gave me a practical tip to help her stop taking the racket too far back behind her body

I practiced with a ball machine what you taught on how to improve a forehand stroke. When I felt confident, I used my new stroke technique against my tennis group opponents. The improvement was immediately obvious as the speed and accuracy of my returns earned me many quick points and cut rallies short. Thanks very much for your direct and clear method of tennis instruction.

You totally fixed my backhand for last night's match. Now to drill it in with the ball machine....Ryan, you're the BEST!!!

Dude, you're awesome. There are always so much good simple Tipps in your Videos, there's always one who helps to fix it up. Thanks!

Very nice ... Back swing clearly briefly explained.. what a man U r... Everything teller.... Thanks

Great forehand 5 step lesson! Really will correct my stroke with practice.

Great video and clear and easy to understand 6 steps! 👍🎾

Oh god I'm so glad found your channel as I'm a very keen learner and always want to improve my tennis skills. Your explanations are really good to understand and very very clear, thank you , it's the best tennis tutorials channels xx

really great video! thank you - the keeping my head still and thinking shoulder too shoulder fixed it, really cranked up my power and balancer

Thanks for the very useful tips. I have found that keeping the left hand also on the racket guides the right hand to not go too far up or too far back. If I go too far up, my left shoulder would come in between the ball and my eyes. The left hand also prevents the right hand from going too far back so it naturally controls how far back and high I go

The best forehand explanatiom I ever seen!!!!!

thank you so much ,elbow up , key point , quite easy to grasp and fresh start of my forehand again

Fantastic golden tips best explained by this great coach ! I have been trying to keep them in mind and do step by step.

Thank you for this vid mate. I was struggling with forehand power.. I was 💯💥 at today's session.. appreciate you mate !

Brilliant tip for forehand. Thanks Ryan !

SUCH a good video as always. Great content, again and again and again. Your work for all of us club level players out there is invaluable. I hope YT compensates you well so it is not just charity work for you.

Thank you Ryan. I’ve been making so many of these mistakes every time I play. Now I need to fix them. I would add check point 7 too, moving your back leg forward after hitting for momentum.

Amazingly helpful video progression

Another great point you demonstrate with point #1, the ready position, Ryan, is that not only do you split step but you bring your racquet to the same starting position every time. The pro on "My Tennis HQ" pointed out that failure to bring the racquet to the same starting position with each stroke in a rally can contribute to stroke inconsistency.

Making a mental checklist throughout the video of which of these tips medvedev actually follows. Better than expected

Great FH checklist Ryan. Already copied to my tennis notebook. Thanks. One additional transitional step for me - I try to contact the ball below the equator and then roll over it. This greatly improves the desired effects of (1) driving the ball over the net instead of into it, and (2) maximizing topspin. And yes I know this is just a feeling because of microsecond contact time.

great video, detailed and clear step by step, thank you so much!

Thank you. Really appreciate your focus on the recreational player.

Thanks so much... I needed a tune up.

Very good explanation! Many thinks!

I will practice this form ! Thanks so much

Best coach ever!

I am waching video repeatedly. You are the best. Thank you so much.

This video completely changed my way of playing tennis. Great, great job.

Ryan...excellent, this is the best lesson!

I've watched lots of videos on the forehands but you've provided a few tips I've never seen before - like having your elbows out in the ready position. Great tips as always.

I remember you got some flack for the birthday hat thing but as a 5.5 player, every time I watch your videos I learn something new. One of the best coaches :)

Great tips, I will be trying the elbows out for groundstrokes

Thank you so much ! These videos are great for the beginner levels.

Great channel, great coach!

You are a great teacher !

Terrific, no nonsense and really helpful.

This video is exactly what I wanted to see!! Thanks!!!

Good to see your presentations and will be also interesting in my opinion if you will mention where to hit balls (not only how to hit with that kind of technique) in defence, neutral and offensive situations to connect technique with tactics.

Great video thanks for your good advices

Very well explained. Thanks.

Well done Ryan! It's so humbling to video oneself, and even though you exaggerate the steps here, one can speed up as no rec player has a Fed like forehand. Consistency is key, then power later and you've got a great stroke, plus your feet are adapting. I'd add 'yellow arrows' in the future as most viewers won't lower the speed to .05 to really see what you doing here.

great lesson, I do practice as you guidance and it works well !

Great video, thanks.

Another excellent video and breakdown. By far the best learn tennis channel I've found.

Excellent! Thank you!

thanks for sharing these 6 checkpoints...

Amazing can’t wait to try it

You are a good teacher

Brilliant. I am teaching my 5 and 7 year old girls tennis...you make it so clear. Thanks

Great coaching Tip

Such Great advice! Thank you

Love your vids... My fhnds were on fire today..Thank you, 😊

Hi Ryan, when watching your videos they bring a big smile to my face...im really grateful that i found your channel.Just curious how did you become a coach and who was your coach. You are one of the best instructors here in youtube and big thank you for all of your hard work and dedication that you have put in your videos!!

I stumbled onto your channel a few days ago and watched this lesson. I'm a 4.0 NTRP player and have been struggling with a little consistency lately with my forehand. I was already doing some of the "checkpoints" you mention in the video but probably not consistently enough. I spent about 6 hours on court the last two days really being more deliberate and really concentrating on incorporating those checkpoints and I can honestly say, it was a game changer. This lesson was a great way to break down the various stages of the stroke and really refine it. The elbows out in the ready position made a huge difference in my return of serve. Well done...

Great job! Thank you!

Hey, really helpful video. I learned a lot of things my coach didn't teach me.

Nicely done!!

very well explained. Thank you

This is the best tennis chanel I have seen so far. All tips work so good on me. I still struggle with keeping my head loocking at the contact point.

I love you man! It help me allot!

Weeeeee going to try tht today....thkq sooo much♥️

Great content sir!

Perfect video for Forehand

Thanks, I watched many online tennis videos, I find you have been best! Question if you have time: I always hit ball too high and not dropping racquet enough so it goes out a lot. Is there a "hack" to get my body to do this? Thanks, CN (4.0)

Excellent checkpoints, Ryan. I do think it is important, though, on checkpoint #6 to mention that holding the racquet with the non-dominant hand at the end of the forward swing is dependent on where the swing ends. If it ends like a buggy whip forehand or a Carlos Moya style around hip level, holding the racquet may not be possible or convenient.

Great video as usual

Fantastic video

great explanation for having your elbows out and getting in ready position i am going to try it especially for balls that come to my wrong side :)

Great video .. Thanks

Awesome tips

Thanks a lot it help me soo much! 😀👍🎾

Elbows out in ready position is the golden point you taught me Sir... which I ignored for 5 years. Thanks a lot

clear instructions. Thank you

OMG, great explanation, so glad. I found this video/ I have subscribed!

It's be great to see a lesson on grip changing and ready position of grip.

Great tone of voice 👍

Very practical!!! Thanks

Great video, many thanks. Love the both elbows out part and all the six checkpoints. Do you have something like this for a two handed backhand?

You are such an amazing coach! I am a beginner at around 50, lol. Can you please create a playlist for beginners？ Thank you so much!
