One of the best tennis lessons vids on youtube He's resuming all of my problems

Incredible lesson! Really well taught, Kevin!

Really enjoy the fact that you have drills for each tip, that you can do at home :) makes it much easier

Yeah, this is really good. Can't wait to share this with the high school team I am helping coach.

Well done with the explanation and illustration Kevin! One thing I would add, that I think most coaches overlook, is that synching the drop and turn is ALSO the key to the serve. Learning and drilling this fact completely changed everything for me on the serve. The serve should be as easy as the forehand, and it is with this realization.

This is one of the best videos on the entire web concerning this topic! Wow……💯

Keep up the good work.. Rotation of the body actually makes you feel artistic while playing tennis

Superb tutorial Kevin, thank you.

Great video. I've been telling tennis friends for years that tension or being tight robs you of power and spin. It's amazing what people can do if they stay loose and relaxed.

Great advice. Also helps with improving consistency on the ground strokes.

Best tennis channel!!!! Great job

That was incredibly helpful!!! Thanks a ton!

Great explaination!!!

Very useful advices! Thank you!

You have become my favorite KZfaq coach. I watch your vids and then watch slow motion vids of Federer to further see what you are saying. I noticed that Federer’s arm is fully extended and RELAXED at the back of the forehand ground stroke. By relaxing and fully extending my arm (relaxed) at the very back of the swing I found I have far more effortless power. The arm may slightly bend during the swing, but if it starts out relaxed and extended at the very back of the swing, then I have good results.

What a great video! Thanks a lot!!!

Superb explanation Kevin!

I've been learning the TTD way of easy racket head speed. Taming it is the next challenge. Using string face orientation and swing path in different ways (another of your videos!) makes tennis more interesting. Other things helping my stroke: deciding early how I want the ball to go, string face orientation, and keeping my head down during and for a "Federer time interval" after ball contact Thanks!

This is such a great lesson!

Awesome instructor.

Very Good! Tks

I LOVEEEEE your video and in HD (4K)!!! Thanks. It packs with a LOT of basic and essential concepts that many coaches don't mention such as kinetic chain reaction, Newton's third law against the ground, gravitational force to let the racket drop, ease your arm tension by holding your racket with 3 fingers only, etc... I also love the way you have the drill so viewers know how to apply and use the concept, saving time and headaches trying to figure it out! I will look for more of your videos. I don't know if you have any videos discussing about the GRIP. If you don't, would you kindly make one? It's a very basic but extremely important concept often ignored, if you don't know how to hold the racket, how you execute the stroke! By the way, I have Semi-Western grip on both forehand and one-handed backhand! The beauty of it: I don't have to move my hand between forehands or backhands, less things to focus on. Please keeping up all your good works and thank for your precise and science-based explanations.

this lesson is spot on. That's how I hit my forehand- big loop and 3 fingers. Pancho gonzalos served with 3-4 fingers on the handle.

Awesome video!

You are a great teacher 👌

Thanks!!!

This video is definitely speaking to me. Thanks for the great tips. Keep it up.

Yep. This is me. Thanks for the video.

Great advice at 6:00! (great tips during the whole video, fantastic job !)

Thanks for the video coach, great advice!!! I forget to relax sometimes and have too much tension on my shots, will let a couple of fingers off the racquet when I feel this way in the future.

Great!

Tension is such a common problem and not many coaches teach how to get rid of it. 8:23 - great drill! A big thank you for sharing 🎾🎾🎾

Excellent! How about string tension? This would be awesome to understand. Thank you!

Great video, insightful. I like to think rag doll for relaxation in the arm, hands and hips. Thanks

Teach, bro! Thank you.

Kevin thank you so much for this lesson. What about timing. When do you start this motion, especially the start of the roller-coaster. Please help

Thanks, Ale from Argentina

You da man!

you are amazing. can I get a private lesson from you ?

Racket head power is a more accurate (precise) term than racket head speed. Power is energy/time and energy is, in this case, in the form of kinetic energy, which has contributions from mass and velocity (speed). A heavier racket may move with slightly less speed than a lighter racket, but its momentum (mass times velocity) and therefore kinetic energy could be well worth the extra mass. Heavier rackets are also more stable as they move through the hitting zone and may in turn provide for better ball strikes.

When I get a short waist-high ball four feet from the net, I usually make it and get power but find myself arming it and I can feel the arm tension as I try to guide the ball. Is this bad? Do I still need to rotate the hips on these short easy balls?

Great information but what about us older Folks that play and have issues bending our knees like that? Do you have some help for us. Love your videos they make understand what I'm ding wrong.

Which string do you use in this racket?

damn homie you good

Excellent coaching. One question: I am not able to hit the ball, forehand or backhand, as strong as pro, but why do I always drive the outside the court? Thanks.

I practice rotation drills at home but when I actually go play I forget it all.

Kevin i have a question thats bothering me, i noticed you play with a semi western forehand grip, and one handed backhand.....how do you quickly switch grip when switching from FH to BH?

Do you have tips on how to avoid racket face open at contact?🙏❤️

Supination happens as as result of uncorking

But Patrick Mouratoglou says the power comes from the hand, so who is right? He says the forehand is hand lead. I'm confused : /

What's your string tension eh? Sounds spanky

More nonsense from physics ignorant people. Racket momentum is the correct term as momentum is racket mass times racket speed. The racket hitting a ball is a collision whereby momentum is transferred from the racket to the ball, which has mass and incoming speed. It is the change in momentum that is the key.
