Don't ALWAYS Finish Over Your Shoulder - The 4 Tennis Forehand Finishes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- If you watch tennis lessons you will have heard "follow through/ finish over your shoulder". While that is applicable on some forehands, it's not applicable ON ALL forehands.
Your finish depends on your grip, the incoming ball and what you're trying to do with the ball.
Watch this video to learn when to finish
- over your shoulder
- your biceps
- your hip
- and inverted (think Rafa Nadal forehand!)
Tennis is situational and you have to adapt on every shot!

That is the first time I have heard someone explain the different follow throughs that makes so much sense, thank you I will definitely try to put this into practise.
Sorry that I'm only getting to you now. Please let me know how your practice went. Tennis is situational and no two balls are the same so you gotta be able to respond.
Notes:
1:43 Typical rally ball - Regular finish over shoulder/biceps
2:48 Extreme topspin or late contact - Buggy whip "Nadal" finish
3:25 Pulled out wide, want to dip the ball at an angle - Pocket to pocket "little rainbow" finish (Gael Monfils?)
4:18 Approach shot, less room to hit long, lift ball quickly and dip it quickly - Pocket to pocket rainbow
Thank you Meike! ❤
Ohh this is good!! 🤯👍Thank u for explaining, because I always thought I had to finish over my shoulder too!! Gonna try this 💗🎾
You're so welcome!
Great tip Meike, nobody tell us before that the follow through depends in what you are trying to do with the ball, and how the ball is coming to us, depth, speed, spin and pace. Thank you very much. I am an old men but I still play tennis and i think that is never too late to learn. Congratilations.
I agree, it is never too late to improve!
Thank you for this! Ive been playing for many years now and feel like I know these instinctively but its great to show it like this and will help me to explain to others who are new or learning
Great, glad it was helpful!
@@MeikeBabelTennis woohoo I got a reply! That rarely happens on yt, thank you Meike! Excited to see more of your easy to understand videos
@@lewlouch3995 My channel is not that big yet so I really try to answer as many comments as possible. Thank you for your support!
You're a great teacher Meike! Thanks for the upload
My pleasure! And thank you for the compliment
Rewatch this one again and comes away with new understandings. 👍🙏🎾
Thank you Meike for your performance too
hi, hier noch ein alter Tennisfan (75). Leider habe ich Dich in Deiner aktiven Zeit nicht gesehen. Dafür jetzt aber um so häufiger. Denn: Deine Lehrvideos sind sehr gut (auch mit etwas Witz). Ziemlich die Besten.👌👌👌Großen Dank und weiter so.
Zu diesem Video: Mit dem tiefen Ausschwung zu linken Hüfte hin habe ich es bei Selbstanwurf des Balles endlich hinbekommen, den kurzen Cross hinter das Netz zu spielen. Muss jetzt noch geübt werden, dass es auch im realen Spiel klappt. Bin echt gespannt. Für die Zukunft alles Gute!
This a whole new level!
Great content! This is exactly I'm trying to figure out. Thanks!
Great video thanks a bunch
Glad you enjoyed it
Very useful. Thank you very much.
Thank you. I always noticed the pros having different finishes on their forehand. Now I know why :-) Cant wait to try myself!
You are so welcome!
I've been working on the follow through, thanks Meike, video was very informative. Having fun with Rafa-style!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Again, great stuff. Thank you so much.
My pleasure!
Great vídeo👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
Very smart advice, thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you Meike, amazing video that includes some technical details.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
Nice 👍🏾
Thanks 💯
Gracias
Not always indeed, MEIKE ❤️
Great video 👍❤️
Thank you 🤗
Nice!
Thanks!
@@MeikeBabelTennis One thing that I noticed a few weeks ago: sometimes I need to catch high balls, then I usually (have to) finish a top-spin hit over my head. I might be wrong, but the ball seems to go slower, not sure about the RPM. I need to try this Nadal finish in the court and see how it goes - especially because I am also a lefty playing on clay with an Aero :)
Hello Mike, great video as always! I have a question for you. Would love to get your answer here or maybe a video about it in the future. On the forehand, I see Patrick Mouratoglou talk about using the wrist to create rackethead speed (he also talks about it on the serve). I see other coaches talk about not getting the wrist involved because they say it can lead to wrist injury. What are your thoughts on this?
Sorry Meike for misspelling your name in my previous message…
I actually disagree with him on that one. The wrist is the very last thing in the kinetic chain and if you have a loose arm it will naturally come through. Maybe the geniuses he coaches can do it but I have only bad experiences with it.
