My forehand also looks like a slingshot, only instead of slinging the ball over the net I am slinging it over the fence

Incredibly lucid and comprehensive analysis. Very easy to follow your reasoning and presentation. Most interesting.

I have been practicing for a while and summarized about four types of forehands, with racket head speeds from slow to fast 1. WTA forehand: when preparing to swing, the racket head points to the back, and the racket face points to the side or the side-back 2. Djokovic-Gonzalez forehand: the racket head points to the back, and the racket face points to the ground(with a pad dog motion) 3. Modern forehand (Federer-Nadal forehand): the racket head points to the side, and the racket face points to the ground(with a pad dog motion) 4. Next-Gen forehand: the racket head points to the side, and the racket face points to the back. If you are a recreational player, it is recommended to learn 1 and 2. It is strongly recommended not to learn 4, as the stability is extremely poor.

Such a great video, great analysis. The clips you edit do a great job at showing what you're explaining. Now, the dream is one of these with you going over Pete Sampras' serve, breaking down into how he could hit kick/slice serves with the same ball trajectory and particularly how and why his second serve was so good (I've read that even his flat serve had tremendous amount of spin, even compared to his contemporaries). Although I can understand how that probably won't help much recreational players since the technique is so advanced, it's still very entertaining to hear you talk about it.

Thank you perfect breakdown! I constantly have to correct technique of some players that have been taught this. Like you said it's fine if you have great timing. But for the weekend warrior or junior who hardly plays It's too hard to get the timing down. Excellent breakdown!

This reminds me of Patrick M's tips on loose wrist, "pretend you are throwing the racket" approach for wippier forehand.

Great video with exellent explanantion and samples. I think the racquet itself (and its specs) may also impact the players technique

The Head Speed has a wide (topspin friendly) string bed and a large head. More topspin, less errors.

@Lucian86 4 күн бұрын

It's my forehand more or less. What you pointed at the end is spot on. It's a long swing and requires a lot of speed and good timing. Highly inconsistent for me and I don't trust my forehand still. When I'm feeling well though, it's very satisfying...easy power and great topspin

Apologies if I've missed smething. How does sinner's uncoiling/clearing of left arm differ from that of the modern forehand. I remember you saying in the modern forehand ouncoiling/clearing left arm should begin during racket drop. How is sinner's timing different?

Nick if you had to pick one forehand to have for life: Sinner or Alcaraz. Aka which one would you teach to a junior. Have them try both?

@IntuitiveTennis 4 күн бұрын

It comes down to what’s more natural for a player. Both are great. Alcaraz technique, however, far less complex

i have the same loopy finish to my forehand, but the more traditional "modern" preparation (also i hit eastern grip); always wondered if there was something wrong about the loopy finish but it just happened naturally so i didn't care. also seems like Medvedev is another super whippy-loopy player on that end of the stroke?

I like to copy his take back sometimes. It gives crazy spin but it’s tough on the wrist.

I would say his slingshot technique is similar to Jack Sock and Kyrgios.

@deathbombs 4 күн бұрын

I think theyre quite different- Kygios uses a lot of wrist, Sinner entire body

@andrewlilico2218 4 күн бұрын

The thing I find most interesting about Sinner's forehand is that it has no distinct drop phase - as we can see clearly here:kzfaq.info7F-EQvbUAz8?si=jR6upbmTwB2q-K3t That is distinct from a player such as Alcaraz who does have a separate drop phase, as we can clearly see here:kzfaq.infowZBQ6_xSfGg?si=4_sUTx1XNyeXduXU

This forehand is all about wrist flexibility. You have to cover the ball very quickly with the wrist or there won't be enough spin to keep the ball in. It helps to use a thin grip on the racquet to replicate this .

@Mogirl21 4 күн бұрын

It's not about wrist flexibility. It's about wrist stability.

I is very similar to Jack Sock it seems. Sock had that same preparation and slingshot effect. Kyrgios has this type technique too it seems.

@mattrock2491 4 күн бұрын

the forehand is nothing like Agassi's. Look at the 2 slow motion videos kzfaq.info/get/bejne/euBmiNOovtuodHk.htmlfeature=shared&t=115 and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJdoiaWFsK-5oqM.htmlfeature=shared&t=3. Agassi's racket rises well over head during backswing , the strings never face the backfence and it looks like a more rounded movement. The contact point well in front of the body is maybe the only commonality I see. But still both are incredible ball strikers. At the moment my favourite forehand is from Jan-Lennard Struff .
