This is absolutely one of the best tennis videos I have seen. The proper use of the non-dominant arm is the key to great torso rotation. All great forehands rely upon an outstanding torso rotation.
You are so clear and to the point...the best instructor online! Thanks for the masterful tips! They work.
Carlos has a deeper take back particularly with the off arm, and it's allowing him to engaging the back muscles (lats) in a way that doesn't happen if you don't have such a deep take back. That's why he gets more power. Like others have said longer takeback and swing, combined with faster racket head speed means timing is tougher so if you aren't a pro you'll probably not hit the ball as sweet and might end up with less power because of that. That said it fun to have a go.
Thank you for the brilliant analysis. Can’t wait to try out the new drills!!
You're a genius. Thanks I'll try it
Kevin this breakdown is Absolutely Freaking Genius! We appreciate you
Fantastic drill! Thanks for sharing.
kevin this is the video you've produced. please do same on serve and one handed backhand.
Actually you're right. I will try it.. thanks
Nice breakdown. Thanks.
Cant remember exact cue but Mouratoglou gave a similar tip to do with finishing with elbow in front, which to do well you have to get the rotation you highlight.
Thank you coach Kevin 🙏
I cannot wait to try this at tennis tournament tomorrow and hopefully I get some gold 🤞
Great video, Kevin. I've totally understood and agreed with everything you said. Just a quick question, as a quiriousity, what is the reason why you are using racquets with so big racquet head??? I thought the advanced players are using " player racquets" which are mostly 97, 98 or 100 Sq inch the biggest, for a better precision and control ?
great points....
Taking the elbow so far back forces you to position yourself very, very early.
Besides, the risk of hitting the ball late is very, very easy.
Honestly, since this forehand requires great feet and timing, I wouldn't recommend it to recreational nor intermediate players.
Thanks for the feedback. I think timing is always going to be a issue no matter what way we hit the ball. I think the most important thing is understanding the difference in where we are and where we want to be in our tennis games is putting in the time to practice and improve skills that we are not good at. I've use this drill on 2.5 to 3.5 players and they didn't think the timing was difficult because they didn't have and expectation of difficulty. I always remind myself the the difficulty = I haven't generally put in enough reps to make it easier. Thanks

Of course level is the factor allowing highly competitive players to perform certain gestures with relative ease but not all gestures have the same degree pf difficulty.
Looking at Alcaraz and, to a lessor degree, Djokovic we can see that they have great timing ( that can be improved with time - I saw Alcaraz play in 2019 and his backhand was less than mediocre - ) and unbelievable athleticism.
Having said that, I hope that Alcaraz's forehand shapes a new generation of players ( I'm tired of people praising Nadal's and Djokovic's forehands as the best on tour ). ;)
Good analysis
I meant the best video you've ever produced...👍👍👍
Thank you coach! I can tell you have a passion for teaching ❤️ Appreciate you so much!
I do!! 😁 You are so welcome!
Thanks for this video! I was always wondering how I could get my dominant shoulder more in front during contact so will be sure to try using my left side of the body a bit more!
Happy to help!
I can now hit 120 mph forehands....
That’s the dream! Lol
The lead arm movement you describe makes sense to me…basically creating a pre-stretch. I recent watched a r. Macci short vid on the serve where he describes a windmill or somersault move (before the arm tucks in) and I noticed an immediate increase in effortless power.
Thx brotha
Great video Kevin
Thanks Peter 👍
everything should be moving together make sure ur not pulling your shoulder then your arm goes around, as that will result in a much harder time hitting the ball on time and in front. everything is together, hips, legs and shoulders foreward to the ball in front of you
Djokovic has bee doing this technique for a while. Very efficient action, but tough to do consistently for us amateurs.
It's all about the kinetic chain👍🏼
Yes, the better we use the kinetic chain the better strokes we have. Thanks
Was told by a former top college/semipro that having a forehand like Federer or Alcaraz somehow isn't sustainable because I don't have the conditioning the pros have. Can't understand this view. It's basic mechanics and I'm relatively fit.
Thanks but Novak Djokovic forehead is in 90 degrees or less. It's different. Can you please explain about it too, please?

FIRST OF ALL LOOK OF HIS BODY STRUCTURE , NOT MANNY CAN DO IT LIKE CARLOS #FOR A GOOD REASON.
You’re missing the most important movement.What you’re showing is not what actually is going on.
Sorry.But good tried.
What can that be?
I love u brother. You are such a kewl coach. Non hitting hand moving left and your left foot should till left 120 degree a little bit for more comfortable when your body move left coach
