A Simple Way To Create Forehand Lag and More Power!

- I've done a few videos on this topic but this tip has helped a lot of people generate lag and produce a more coordinated swing. I also felt that addressing the pat the dog technique is important because it hinders player's swings more than it helps.

Dare I say the best FH explanation ever on YT
The best and simplest instruction on this topic! I hit with an eastern grip, and this instruction helps tremendously.
No dogs were actually patted in the making of this video?
Tom, I’ve recently experienced what you’re telling from 7:03 is extremely important (maybe deserves a separate video). If you don’t separate hands early enough and not take the racket further back, you’re usually late hence rush the stroke. Thanks again 👍
Thank you very much, your classes are very clear and original. That is what I like from you, the personal ingredient in them, Congratulations,
I like this infos you gave in this video. Just what I needed. Specialy details about fluidity you talking, the flowles od the stroke. Timing of all the details.
Message received - traded my family dog for a miniature horse. Forehand improved immediately. Simple!
sexy, handsome and patient...plus ur tips all make sense and easy to apply
Man this guy is amazing with the simplicity of his instructions for the basic but very important things. And his allowance for individual differences is brilliant. And his emphasis on finding your own grooves within the bigger categories of proper technique. And doing things by feel. Really priceless stuff.
Excellent!
When you worked on this with me in person, I thought I wouldn't have time to add more lag into my shot. But I actually have more time now and feel less rushed because I'm no longer trying to create lag artificially. I just get into the position and then rotate into the shot and let the arm follow. It's super simple - although, as you say, not easy.
Tom to get full grip of this masterclass I just need that cute plushy roundy horsy's breed to forget about that bs of patting a dwarfy doggy.
If I can get that chubby horsy's height in my mind my ptd illness will be cured for good man also my psyche to imagine getting a ride on that sturdy fourlegged the as soon as I leave the court.
So give us what's that breed please.
Nobody taught me tennis with animals and I consider it a grave missing point in my learning. Want my chilhood back now 😭😭😭!!
👏👏👏👏😭😭😭👏👏👏👏
Really stepping up your animation skills
Nomsayin!
Great video, those horses will forever be implanted in my head when hitting forehands from now on
The videos showing that you must reach a certain position like pros did hurt tennis learner (myself at one point). Your video on weight transfer and kinetic chain are really treasure for tennis community.
TPA is the best tennis coach!!! he actually helped me to get better a lot!!!
Hi Tom. I love this video. Really great job.
Have a great Christmas
Thanks mate. Appreciate that! Same to you. In the airport now. Flying back to the motherland
I love you both guys 🤣
Fantastic video - such an easy to understand description of the high level forehand - No Nonsense indeed.
I think of it as the left shoulder turns toward the ball, the right shoulder says "hey get out of my way, i am coming thru". So the left shoulder moves to accomidate the right shoulder. DON'T use your arms, it will happen naturally. GREAT video.
😂😂😂 patting the horse
"Hips don't lie" focus on rotating hips forward. This will require leg drive and upper body will follow, followed by hand.
Would love to see a similar perfectly simplified explanation of one handed backhand, Tom. 👍
Where is the “throwing “ aspect ? This video resembles every other video by the top YT instructors
Great video! This is exactly what I experienced recently. The cocah got the point.
All your vids are spot on. I think you should do a vid on the shoulder and the FH. Not many vids on it. external and internal rotation. This was a big breakthrough I made. Comes naturally to most. My FH is not natural for me as I throw with my other arm. Learning to allow my shoulder to externally rotate then internally rotate to get power/spin/control transformed my game. Esp in matches. Went from a weakness to a weapon. I naturally have rounded internally rotated shoulders from muscle imbalances from weightlifting. When I get tight in matches my FH becomes unreliable and I have to remind myself to externally rotate
Great content. Two ideas which helped me, in line with these ideas and touched on by Tom here: 1. Think of the racquet drop just prior to contact as a part of the same movement as the forward swing (ie. don't hold the pat the dog position). This creates racquet head speed and prevents the arm from doing all the work. 2. As mentioned towards the end, the point where this racquet drop happens should be far away from the body (or behind and around the body). It's very hard to get enough racquet head speed with a short swing path so you need the distance between this point and contact. Also if this path is short, there's not much time to get over the ball after supinating the arm, so it's easy to hit under the ball.
I get the student to grip the racquet with only 3 fingers😊
No offense, but I hate it when players do that.
on return of serves: do we shorten our unit turn or still do the same unit turn as the ground strokes??
Would you do the same unit turn to throw a ball with less power? There's your answer.
" There's gonna be no dogs pattin' " ...just made my day :)
Hi Tom,
Nice video as always:)
What you think about swinging with sticks (netpost for example if it isn't from steel and therefore to heavy) to get the feel of this? Or like accelerating a towel so the player feels the lag where the body comes first and the stick or towel comes second. It's is one thing to get the player understand it and it's another thing to get them to feel it.
I love those tools because you educate the body instead of the mind.
Looking forward to your vision on this?
Best, Paul
I like these ideas. I don’t use them but maybe I’ll give some a go and report back
So simple and straightforward and demystifying. Thanks Tom!
Nice video @5:16, I am curious what kind of dog is that? I like it. It is funny looking.
hi! this concept can be applied for a one handed backhand? if it´s possible, can you teach it?
Finnally someone talk with common sense.awsome video❤🎉
Thank you
Great advice….. keep it simple 👏🏻
Tom, hello, I have a question: when you demonstrate entering the lag high, racquet flips and gets racquet face open. In my experience, it led to hitting open and contact. Yes, you can still go with it and be closing approaching contact, but this also creates layer of inconsistency.
I now have better success dropping it lower, entering lag/slot with slightly closed racquet face, then aligning it with the height of the ball from there and hitting through and up - lifting and spinning the ball. At least from behind the baseline.
And yes I’ve got pics of Rafa hitting very high ball and having momentarily open racquet face through lag, but this still seems inconsistent as general way of hitting. This coming from me hitting back fences on the fly, so not a made up thing 😂
a bit of open face is ok...he turns the racquet face with the wrist pretty fast during the contact that fixes the open face...look at Rublev FH vids, right before the contact, he opens the racquet very often, but quick wrist rotation will fix it easily.
on another note: hitting with the body usually leads to open racquet face, players often have to step back ....but it is actually correct and the next fix is to apply the wrist action through the contact to add spin + close the racquet face.
@@quangtube well to make it clear, I’m not referring to “on-edge” vertical racquet face - that’s perfectly fine. The tricky part is when it gets a tiny bit open to the sky, and the swing is full-speed. Can launch balls quite some
You can close it a bit. It doesn't need to be open or facing the floor.
Thank you, on point demonstration🎉
This is fcuking AWESOME 🤩
My Trainer Said :follow with your Body to your racket ? What is right ?
I don’t know what that means
I can't thank you enough. This video change not only my forehand but also backhand and and the serve. The point is not to use the arm rather turn the shoulder (the body) and you are creating the lag...
Happy to help
Very good explanation
You are a genius.
You hate the dog!
Love your lessons!
Patting a horse 😂
So good to c so who s attached ti the truth. In french we say ”il ne faut pas tordre le cou a la vérité”.
Thousands congrats from Dan, Paris France.
👌🙏 G R E A T! V I D E O! Thank you Tom!
I found that the real secret of the forehand is the fact that right shoulder comes in front while left one goes behind,simple as that. I broke my left shoulder when i was young while training judo,and since then my brain wont let left shoulder goes behind. I felt stock in my forehand until i saw a photo and then i understand why i felt so jammed. Martial arts have 2000 years and they know how to trow a punch. Nithing fancy or new. Just put the left shoulder behind while rotating.
Great video , very simple to understand. I think I’m getting better at this although I struggle with higher bouncing balls, is there a different technique (I think maybe more distance between ball and body perhaps?). I feel myself getting quite tense, everything locks up and I end up “clotheslining” the ball with wrist very locked). Maybe that’s the point, I don’t have confidence with the higher bouncing balls which causes me to tense up which breaks down the natural sequence 🤷♂️
I believe I have to initiate my forehand with relaxed dorsal flexion in the wrist, as you say not all pros need because they have very flexible wrist and forearm tendons and lag happens naturally, not most of us mortals who were not taught since childhood like pros:-)
It is good to have the lag as a result of good full back swing. I think of the wrist as not very strong, so by holding wrist angle with the face racket tell the time of contact as that is become the follow through. So it seam like the forearm is turn up going through. 🤔
Very instructive and so easily explained! And yes, he lets you have your own movements and techniques. He just focuses on the common technique and essentials.
Can I pat the monkey instead of dog
Highly recommend!
I think what you are saying the key is racquet preparation and footwork to be in the proper position. The lag will come if you are in the proper position. One area i have trouble with in this regard is when the ball comes with top spin at me.
Hi Tom, I can do this in practice but when a match starts I tend to tense up especially early. Any advice? Also should I try to lead with my elbow would that help?
unit turn is allso about bringing the weight on the right food and dropping the racket preventing you from uncoiling too soon
The anti-dog-patting league approves this message!
Regarding the take back & separating the arms. Some players, Alvarez e.g.., keep the non racquet arm on longer bc they take it back all the way with both arms. I find this can be useful bc you let go only when the arm is all the way back already. From there it is just all forward: body, arm, racquet.
when Alcaraz is all the way back his left arm is no longer on the racket though. You also need quite a lot of flexibility to get the racket even close to back with your left hand on the racket.
Great tips - thanks!
Great tip
Still no way to turn on the notification bell... this guy must be computer redacted. Good tennis instructor though.
What’s it say when you try?
@@TomAllsopp It simply won't accept it. Neither all or personalized. I've been watching your videos for a long time and it never accepted the notification bell. Very frustrating and it must hurt your views.. Check you settings and ask for youtube support.
