It is a flip that generates acceleration giving lots of power and spin. Because the tip of the racquet is pointing towards the net the acceleration path gets longer and thereby the acceleration increase.

What about grip style ? No matter ?

Obviously this is old but they all end up that position so idk what your point was with this switch other than riding the bandwagon

Everyone hates Tennis Mario

Great analysis!

very good advice

The power he has on his ball is due to his racket head speed and his footwork. He is playing principled tennis.

Excellent review. I can't see what Jannik is doing but your video analysis is exceptionally clear. Tnx!!

One of the best video I haven't watch for week. Thanks coach!

Yannik , not Jannik

Muy buen video y excelente explicacion.

Ciao Mario! U where right! Sinner is becoming a champion

Great tutorial thks a lot Professor Mario already subscribed ✨👌

This channel has been very useful to me. I have watched the videos several times. I wish the videos were recorded on a higher quality camera though. The resolution is not even HD

Djokovic's forehand is not parallel to the ground.

Perpendicular?

Wow.. this is not new information. A lot of videos that explain this. But I think this is probably the best, clear concise explanation out there.

Italian forehand?

I’m finding that setting up open stance right before the ball bounces and then hitting more down on the ball really makes a powerful shot. I find if I do closed stance it’s good for closing the net but harder to time it on my forehand which is semi western. What’s your favorite open stance or closed on high sitters? I’m also finding just coming in and taking the ball out of the air for a swing volley or regular volley is pretty low risk but you have to recognize it quick otherwise too late have to take it on the rise. I don’t think people practice mid court balls enough though especially high ones as that’s what pushers love to do to reset points.

Step 1: Be Federer.

I have this problem and I came to this solution then I saw this vid n it confirms it. Thank you.

Not many good online coaches out there. Cheers!

Too much talking less presentation

I just wanted to say thank you! You re the only coach who clearly explained the spin that you need to put into the ball for hitting high balls. This is a game changer tip! thanks a million 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌

nole's is different than Thiem forehand's, the mechanism. What you think about it?

Thank you for the tips!

I love how the video starts just wth you saying "jannik Sinner"

where You come from Mario?

I’m not sure.. but I hit eastern forehands & it looks like I hit further in front than all my semi western & western friends.

Nice to have found your channel. Long video and all the information is priceless. No BS filler like others. 👍👍👍

🖤🎾🖤

So helpful! Great insight!

Super video again, thanks

Fantastic video. Thanks so much

Should we allowed to intentionally rotate the racket. ?

One of the best lessons online on dealing with a high short ball. Thank you ! You've mentionned the possible "side spin" produced by this kind of shot, I've never thought of it that way. I'm looking forward to test it on the court !

Oh that fukin noise from the next court - what is it?

Thanks Mario, it is an interesting benchmarking especcially the continental grip now it is clear why I should use it if I am late

Definitely helps for sure! Great video Mario!

Hi bro, after one year first video, hope will get your videos frequently.

Glad to see you back. What is this book you mentioned?

Thank you 👍

I thought you guys are pro. Fixing the back pain easy than you think because I know kungfu and yoga, just stand low down with your behind sticking up from behind just like weight lifting style will fix your back stronger and get the tennis balls more easier. Just try it by yourself and you will see the result I used to have tennis back pain, I fixed by standing the right way that is

You make amazing videos, thank you. There's a new style two handed backhand that Coric, Rune and Alcaraz all hit; can you do an analysis or how to hit that style. Looks to be a huge shoulder turn, point the blade to the incoming ball and they are very powerful. It's like a Next Gen Two Handed Backhand:)

I thought it was more of a flip than patting. Isn’t that where the extra racquet head acceleration come from??

I have not finished watching it, but i love the way you explain this play, not only from the side of the 'sitter" but also from the other player. Thank you.

Hey Mario, sending you some positive feedback for this video, and your "reference point" video from 9 or so years ago. I adopted this forehand and after much practice, am able to hit with a very loose arm and a tonne of racquet head speed. I played a match recently against a very tough opponent, but my mental strength and match plan, helped me to a bagel and a breadstick.. You were a pioneer of these online tennis lessons and you're also one of only a few that are reputable. KZfaq is crowded these days, with Shmucks, who have nothing to offer than a misguided opinion. So, thank you my friend, for your anonymous help. All the best to you

Why the muzzle?

Very interesting analysis.
