Glad it helped! It’s from my own mistakes and learning to be honest. Any time I come up with something that has helped me or any of my clients I’ll post on my channel :)
Personally, I am always working on hitting the ball more out in front regardless of the shot I'm hitting (assuming top spin). I would recommend taking a side view of you hitting some balls and freeze on contact point to see how in front you are. Chest and strings are forward on contact should be your goal! Let me know if that helps :)
Good question! You’re racquet (if loose) will be below the hand so there is your spin. You can be slightly lower to the incoming ball, just makes it harder and harder to time.
Yes it’s the focus of trying to create spin with that grip. Watch some of Federer’s videos and you’ll see he gets that head below the handle pretty well (aka he’s super loose on the swing).
@@teachyourselftennis well after teaching 40 years starting in the 80s ive seen everything tennis went through . the changing of the swing changing and the grips of materials changing of the fysical aspect so yes i could be ahead of the curve
@@foxyonthrottle690 I would say so! You can't beat all that experience you have. Especially teaching through the big changes we have had in the time you've been coaching!
A lot of misinformation here. If your racket is facing downwards to any degree at the point of contact, your ball will land in the net or on your side of the court.
That’s exactly what I said. Maybe you didn’t watch it fully? Sorry if I wasn’t clear but the whole idea is to have a racquet face parallel to the net on contact (for the most part).
@ as I mentioned in the video, it’s a general tip. Yes slightly down is ok in certain situations, especially for high balls but it’s more about how you get to contact point that can be a problem. Thanks for clearing any misconception up from the video!
Excellent tutorial…. Everything you said is so true 💪🏻

Good advice. Shall try it out and see if I can hit deeper forehands
Is the contact point more up front or does the follow through have to be longer?

So if it's linear then it would be more of a flat than spin, right? So the net clearance is somewhat lower?

So my racket should be level to the incoming ball and just hit through it and extend the swing, Coach?@@teachyourselftennis
I usually hit semi western but I find if I change to an eastern grip I do hit more through the ball but I tend to hit long over the base line

Haha well I guess you’re ahead of the curve then! 🙌👏

You are wrong. Facing slightly downward is okay and is common.
