Steve, This fits perfectly with the Spanish forehand that you discussed - soft wrist and strong fingers. I noticed that the space between my palm and handle caused me to use my fingers much more than my palm. This is a great tip!

good stuff ... this is why rackets have the increased width near the heel ... the racket would fly out of your grip otherwise ... and this is why Gasquet bulks up the heel (as I do too)

Helpful advice! Re kinetic chain, is it the number of links in a chain that determines it’s speed or is the DIFFERENCE in mass between the initiating and following links? It seems to me that the difference in mass between the legs/trunk and arm/racquet is what causes the whip affect.

Thanks Steve. Especially the point about older players as I am an older veteran who always seeks to understand and improve to allow continued participation. I have for some time been baffled how SOME of my veteran club mates who have very strange forehand strokes can hit the ball very hard and consistently while apparently disregarding any of the rules on stance form etc. I had really put this down to the fact that they must have more flexible wrists than me and nothing I could do to change. When I try the loose grip approach the raquet occasionally flies out of my hand and I have broken more than 1 this way. I will try this approach particularly with the movement separation concept.

Thanks for the video, there are not so many coaches or videos explaining the level of pressure that you should exert on the grip. It might be a bit personal, too, I don’t know...my coach used to tell me “hold your racket” as it appeared to be unstable at contact point. Anyhow, would you agree to say that the pressure on the grip should increase progressively until contact point? Should the pressure be the same for all fingers? Tx for your insights into this...

@oneminutetennis 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. Yes the grip very naturally strengthens through contact. But I think it's important not to do this consciously. It'll happen naturally. Does that make sense. It's great that your enjoying the site. www.oneminutetennis.com

@joaomariasilva5183 2 жыл бұрын

Great video and i don't question finding the right looseness in the wrist. But with a hand grip bigger than racket grip doesn't it slide around too much resulting in unpredictable racket angle at contact?

@oneminutetennis 2 жыл бұрын

Quite simply, it depends how much bigger the grip is. The reality is that it is a tiny bit bigger. Hard to explain in size, but easy to feel. And very occasionally, maybe two or three times per year the pros will lose grip of the racket and it flies out of the hand. This is proof of the larger grip. I mean, can you imagine that the pro player isn't strong enough to keep hold of the racket? 😉 Yet much smaller and usually weaker recreational players could never lose his of the racket. Why? Because they are holding tightly. Does that help? It's great that your enjoying the site. www.oneminutetennis.com

@nebraskanate7417 6 ай бұрын

Sounds like you are suggesting holding the racquet loose enough to fling it or throw it with the forearm and wrist, like a pitcher might get at the last minute when he flings his wrist and releases the ball. Is that correct?

@franklynpeart5612 2 жыл бұрын

Steve, I love your videos! How do you resolve the apparent contradiction between this idea of an extra grip size and the Spanish power secret where three fingers are firm for control while the trigger finger keeps the wrist loose for looseness? This video suggests space between fingers and racket which would imply a loss of racket head control compared to the Spanish power secret video…

@oneminutetennis 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Franklyn. Great question. Quite simply, both these ideas, and some others work. But they don't work for everyone. Some people like jazz music, some like rock and others prefer classical. Nobody is wrong, they are all right! On the tennis court, I can see what works and what doesn't and can adjust my advice accordingly. Online... Not so easy. The latest video has been viewed by over 4000 people in the first 18 hours and I've no idea if this is the right advice for them. So I try to create clear and concise ideas, and if one doesn't work, hopefully the next one will. Does that make sense? I wish my answer was more complete, but sometimes it's simply "Different strokes for different folks!" Thanks for a great contribution. www.oneminutetennis.com

@twinwankel 2 жыл бұрын

I made my comments in the last video but I will repeat it. I have a loose grip and I just use my thumb and ring finger to grip the racket. All other fingers don't participate. But I have a lot of bounce in the racket as a result. Since my grip is at the very bottom of the handle, this method provides the most torque or gets the most leverage on the ball. After experimenting with many techniques, I found that this method puts the most power into the stroke. Your video doesn't really mention anything about where to grip the racket. I think the where and how is the key to this stroke.

Steve- I just watched the video again and I think I totally get it now. I assume “the bounce” is just an exercise to FEEL it. I’m not sure why I didn’t understand it the first couple times I saw it. Anyway, am I correct that players should have some space between the palm of their hand and the grip? This space between the palm and the grip is what allows the player to have the racquet lag behind the hitting arm during the forward swing rather then have the racquet and arm move as one. Just wanna confirm I got this right and that I’m not missing anything? Thank you.

What I don't understand is this: All the focus and analysis about kinetic chain and racquet independence and speed only applies to the forehand. The two handed backhand undermines all this principles. Yet pros and elite two-handed backhanders can put tremendous power and spin in their steered backhands. Makes me wonder whether kinetic chain is over hyped.

Hi. Great question and I'm going to make a follow up video on exactly this subject. I didn't want this video to be any longer. But Essentially you do nothing and let the hand naturally tighten. It's like these guys why crush your hand in a handshake. They do it by beginning with their hand very open. Then when they close it, they have more power. If your hand is open, as I described... Then when you close it on impact, you close with more strength and more energy. Do you see what I mean? Thanks for continuing to support the channel. I'm also asking everyone a favour.

Hi. Thanks for the question. Let's explain it another way. We will reverse engineer. Good the racket in a Forehand grip, very tightly. Now loosen it a little. All your hand is still touching the racket. Now loosen it more. Still your touching the racket but very softly. Now loosen the hand more, the racket slips through your hand. You loosened too much Now find a grip between the last two The racket can move, you can twist it, using the other hand. But it is still held, very softly in your hand. Now, using this grip, take the racket back as through you are preparing a forehand. Gently rock the hand back and forth and it should bounce in your hand. I hope this helps...

Hey coach. After watching the video a couple times. I am confused as to what your saying here (usually you hav very clear explanations), it may just be me as after reading the comments most people seem to get it. The whole big grip thing is confusing to me. Also at one point it seemed you were saying to hold the grip as loose as possible while not letting there be any space between your hand and the grip and then towards the end of the video it seemed to me like you were saying you should have space between your hand and the grip. Can you explain this when you get a chance? Sorry I am pretty lost in this particular video.

Hi. I love your enquiring mind. Total respect. I also love to learn and understand. I actually think this one aspect of the stroke is the biggest secret to real power. It has nothing to do with tight or soft grips... Zero.. Soft or hard grip of the racket are both fine. But. Imagine locking your hand.. Really hard.. In a shape that would hold a racket.. But your grip is 2 sizes too big for the racket your trying to hold. The racket well wobble.. It will move in your hand. If you begin the stroke with this grip... You have the free movement of the pro players. Watch on KZfaq for when the racket flies out of some players hands after a mishit... Why? Because the grip is loose... Not soft.. Not hard... But a little bit too big. Does that help at all? Have a great day and thanks for the interest
