How To Hit Heavy Topspin Forehands (Jannik Sinner Technique Explained)
1. Build up a lot of racket speed with a circular swing
2. Close face prior to hitting and keep it slightly closed during contact
3. Drive up and through for spin and power

Met Sinner at IW this year. Super humble guy and took his time autographing for everyone there.

Thanks Ryan. I would add that the "heavy" part of the topspin is generated by points you've made in other videos which are: racquet arm elbow back (which helps with the face pointing down) and the lagging of the racquet or IOW angle of the forearm to racquet, which helps increase power and topspin. At time 3:32, you can see Sinner's racquet head is pointing directly behind him, parallel to the ground, and essentially underlining the Emirates Fly Better logo!

Always love your videos. Thank you for posting them daily. Could you in a future video explain the trade off between hitting through the ball vs. windshield whipper (bigger contact windows vs. more spin)? In this video, Sinner's spacing and timing impressed me much more than his swing path.

You put out the best instructive videos bar none. I have a question about where his eyes are when he is making contact. I was told you should be focused on the ball. But he appears to be doing what I see most players do, that is, looking peripherally ahead and at the ball at the same time. Could you please comment.

i have watched alot of videoes to help improve my forhand since i started playing again in sept2022 as a recreational player, almost every videos takes about buttcap front..racket lag...close face...wiper loop ..hitting the ball perpenticular etc...but haven come across one that talks about WHEN to hit the ball and the effect. i have been trying to hit harder and doing all the swing...lag etc and shots have been very inconsistent with many saling to the back fence. until i realised that if i hit the ball on the dip slightly after peaking, i get a much higher success rate in hitting the ball hard and landing it near the back line. tried to find mroe info and there are alot of videos talking about hitting it on the rise. some brush thru on when to hit the ball but none dedicate to talks about hitting it on the dip or at the peak and what happens when hitting on different points on the dip or at the dip. but i thinnk this is one area that will greatly improve success hitting rate than just focusing on HOW to hit the ball.

Great video🤗👍! Just what I needed as I like a low ball and believe or not I see that I open the face so my balls can fly out. You say you can use the eastern grip to create this swing path. Which grip do you think is best though in relation to this swing path?

@geraldboyer5298 Жыл бұрын

I’ve cracked multiple racquets on full commitment forehand’s above the grip below the throat on all the cracks. Those breaks only happen when I’m completely loaded sitting down on my shot with full uncoiling. Personally, hitting the ball from the bottom of your feet and exploding with a hip rotation followed by shoulder rotation are prolly more important for the swing path itself. These pros even in the smallest amount of time get much more coiling than normal people do at this pace of game. It’s unreal.

@marktace1 6 ай бұрын

The racquet face angle at contact tends to be dominated by the grip. Timing, etc. can affect it but it is mostly the grip. If you have an eastern grip you are going to tend to be square at contact, not closed.

0:55 He probably naturally closed his racquet face without knowing, but I think there is a very good chance he knows as he said in multiple interviews that he is actively working on his technique, he also talks a bit about what he has changed.

@tehatte Жыл бұрын

Not naturally. To get to that level they all trained since they were young to build muscle memory. The lagging, buttcap pointing toward the ball is unnatural. I’ve trained a few people, kids and adults, I know this. Most recreational players I play with don’t lag. They don’t point the buttcap towards the ball and they think it’s weird to do that.

⁠@@tehattePlayers that are as talented as Sinner do most of it naturally especially things like closing the racquet face right before contact. They need coaching to perfect their technique, but most of the basics come naturally to them. I myself needed no explanation on many things like racquet lag, closing the racquet face etc. even though I'm not talented. I just needed to know the basics like a unit turn, or using your legs but the rest came quite naturally by just playing a lot.

@@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten In my experience the beginning in learning tennis is harder than in the later stages and kids don’t just naturally hit the ball correctly. I started as an adult but self learned from KZfaq and wanted to learn proper techniques with the topspin FH and 2H BH. It wasn’t easy and it took years to build the muscle memory. I went on to teach my kids, nephews, wife so I knew what they had to go through. Just for the FH, the grip, the lagging, the windshield wiper, how to move the hip, the elbow, the wrist … it’s very tedious you have to learn it step by step, day in day out consistently. If you don’t spend enough hours on the court doing the repetitive drills you won’t achieve the muscle memory. You can ask every coach they’ll all say that.

I don’t understand what you mean when you say his closed racket face allows him to hit upward. Cant i have a more open face and still willingly swing upwards?

@2MinuteTennis Жыл бұрын

You can… But if you have an open face and swing up you’re going to send the ball over the fence. What you described is what beginners do.

The idea that the ball goes where the strings point is an idea that is 90% correct. More correct than wrong. A coach’s job isn’t to be 100% correct. A coach’s job is to be 100% helpful. There’s a difference. Thanks!!

@@MaiTizzle yeah, it will just go to the sky, like when the winner launches the ball into the crowd after winning the match. You still have to put shape on the ball. Think the point here was to say that hitting with more “spin” doesn’t make the shot “heavy.” The video really just spoke about getting more spin rather than getting more plow on the ball, except for the last 5 seconds where he mentioned compressing the ball against the strings.
