Today I have Tennis Con all stars RacquetFlex and they are going to give you the BEST TENNIS LESSON ever on the Lag and Snap Forehand!
I really think this is the Gold Standard when it comes to an online tennis instruction video.
You will love it. The video has great editing, strong visuals, and really explains so well what the lag and snap forehand is and how to execute it!
Also there are some really good step by step drill progressions at the end so make sure to watch the entire video!

This is a very comprehensive video. Well done. I need to watch this a couple of times!
Cant help comment even before finishing. Just awesome guys!!!
That was a 100% excellent video for the forehand.😎
Great video, and an unbelievable forehand! I give tennis lessons for beginners, and I am looking forward to use these drills next time. And right now I will take one of my rackets in the car and begin with some drills.
Top lesson !thanks you
👏👏👏🥰 I will practice your inputs. Thanks so much.
Its the best video I have ever seen! Tks
I liked the 3 drills at the end of the video
Awesome vid!
Really nice to see you appreciating another (worthy) tennis channel in RacquetFlex. Very solid move on your part, kudos!
P.S. I agree, they're awesome aren't they? I don't know how they amassed so much technical knowledge at their young age! Man, I was still into all-nighters and alcohol abuse at that age. Had to drop the all-nighters due to *age-related changes* in my sleep/wake cycle. (Translation: Old fart in bed by nine-thirty) As for the alcohol: Uh...no comment.
Anyway, good on ya for recognizing new talent. Good man!
great video on lag!!!
this is amazing
wow very in depth
can you advise more drill about this situation?
Can I ask how you get such a nice late wrist lag a la Federer? I find I can do it when I’m practicing swing shape (without balls), but when I’m hitting balls I tend to revert to pointing the racquet tip toward the fence too early, so I don’t get as much lag/snap
I have been experimenting with this for a long time. My goal is to develop a whip like forehand that flows...and I think I'm close. One thing you forgot to mention that makes a lot of little things automatic is how you hold the racquet. Not whether it's eastern or semi-western but where. If you hold the racquet at the very end with the little pinky finger almost slipping off, many great things happen. Sometimes the pinky lifts off during the stroke but the racquet still whips around. Pace and spin become automatic and the forehand because a real weapon.
Sorry about the poor proofing...because to becomes. Thank you
John Gates Keep working on it. You’ll get there.
John Gates What you’re referring to is whether to “choke up” on the racquet or hold it by the butt of the handle. You should experiment and see which method feels more comfortable for your style of hitting ... which method produces more spin, which of the two produces a flatter ball, which method can you easily hit high balls with, which method can you easily hit forehand and backhand slices, which method can you execute a drop shot with ease or an overhead smash. Basically all the shots in tennis. It’s an in-depth analysis of your tennis strokes. You’ll find your answer for yourself.
John Gates I experimented with both methods and found that holding the racquet by the butt of the handle loosely produced more errors because I had less control of the racquet. And “Choking up” on the handle, I felt somewhat restricted in the execution of my shots. So I settled for something in between ... my pinky resting just below the butt of the racquet. But certainly find out what you’re comfortable with and stick with it.
Excellent video sir !!!
Great Video! You said that relaxed wrist is the key to avoid injury so why am I seeing comments saying they injured their wrists using the lag and snap. There must be another element that is not being followed to cause injury if the wrist is relaxed. Please let us know what else might cause wrist injury with this forehand technique. Thanks!
Do not focus on wrist rotate, but forearm rotate, and acceleration.
Hitting the forehand hard ok but can’t do that if a hard swing will take it long or out I need to Have enough spin to keep the ball in the court talk about how to hit consistently with spin and hard????
reposted?
The last drill has convoluted terminology with the neutral stance and closed stance forehands. It just a sequence of forward stepping neutral stance forehands. In general I like RacquetFlex, but the style of the videos has various degrees of success in teaching concepts. They tend to give you a lot of techno babel quickly with a lot of sequences moving like a music video. I would prefer less information overload and take their time to present a few good concepts per video.
The exaggeration can be confusing because it should be more horizontal swing path.
You should credit then in the notes with a URL

Interestingly the racket does not turn over because of centrifugal force . It turns over because of something called Intermediate Axis Instability - it's the same reason it is almost impossible to toss your racket so it turns end over end without it also spinning 180 degrees. Check it out - ruclips.net/video/-Si6iRL5Fj8/видео.html The racket wants to flip and all you have to do is let it.
I have wrist pain on the lower side outter side. Ulna side of the wrist I believe. I wonder if it's because of this because this past 4 weeks I've been hitting more relaxed whippy forehand. I notice i generate tons more pace and spin but at the cost... HELP!
the same thing happened to me...it's why I have a hard time hitting this forehand
Mysteryboy0007 The wrist and forearm are relaxed only “until the moment of impact.” If you punch someone with a relaxed wrist, you will break your wrist. So, at the moment of impact, every part of your hand (your wrist, fingers) and forearm must be flexed/rigid and solid as a rock. You’re also forgetting where the pace/power is coming from. It isn’t coming from the wrist. The wrist is simply where all that power exits. So where is all that power coming from? Answer: From your whole body! ... from the toes to your hips, to your upper torso and shoulders. You’re channeling all that momentum that’s created by the body to a single focal point on your hand. (In my case it’s my index and middle knuckles.)
Also try hitting the ball without bending the wrist “back”. Keep the forearm and wrist straight throughout the stroke.
Same problem! Not worth it. Focus on body and leg power instead of wrist. Curious on your situation now.
This technique is only for advanced players
if a beginner has talent he will be able to do it
@@NikeSoccerTennis Ya but once they're able to do it, they're probably not a beginner anymore.
Well intentioned demonstrations but overly wordy explanations caused my attention to wander, very good effort though.
that happens when the subject doesnt interest you much or when you dont really want to learn something badly
ok
I don't know man I don't have that "lag" you talk about but I just play the forehand just fine
The use of the word “Lag” in my opinion is inaccurate and has never worked for me in describing what really is happening when you swing that racquet. A better term is Delay. You’re delaying the snapping of the wrist until that precise moment when it’s unleashed.
If you "consciously" snap your wrist, you're doing it wrong. Same as people who "snap" their wrists on the serve. Lag is a perfect way to describe it because the head of the racquet, IF you keep your wrist relaxed, will lag behind when you accelerate your hand toward the ball. Having said that, many people will feel it differently while doing the exact same thing, so it's a very subjective matter they are discussing here. Only thing you can compare is his motion in the video to your motion in a similar video. That's where you will see what's going on.
Lag is a much better term if you think about the physics involved.
nice work midget, very nice lesson :D
Lol this dude didn't even provide a link to Raquetflexs youtube page. Least u could do is credit them by posting a URL. You basically got a easy low effort video by using another youtubers work.
So you just took their full content and put on yours... You don't even have the link to RacquetFlex (yeah, you show it for like a 0.5 second).... I don't know man but just not cool.
omg. the secret is out. it’s that figure eight motion. that’s everything and that’s why title is misleading. it’s all about the direction of the swing and if you do it right, the lag and snap happens naturally in a degree that’s specific to individuals depending on each player’s physique. so the guy who did the introduction made no contributions. just confused the audience with the title. i bet he is not hitting like the guy who actually provided the critical info. because he hasn’t got it yet.
The kid over-rotates his shoulders; mentioning ulnar and radial deviation is like mentioning fuel use when talking about a sports car: you can't "think" about it, it happens because of how we are built. Other than that, great video.
The fuck is this bs not letting me scrub?
