This guy is really brilliant at imagining ways to make tennis happen. I'm very excited to try this stuff. I just tried another one called "how to hit a tennis ball". Awesome!
Thanks for this video. I havent played for a couple of years and started again recently. I am frustrated because i dont hit the balls as good as i still have them in my memory. Your video made me more aware again of the timing issue with my swings. Thats key. I hope i can find the right timing again.
as a newer player that has progressed from not being able to hit the ball, to good placement, and power i found that focusing on three main things helps you tremendously rather than drills. 1- footwork and placement on the ball 2- racquet speed and acceleration on contact point 3- swing path. i have been playing for about 3 months and can rally with players who have been playing for 10 years plus. i could be wrong but ive found that focusing on the main things, and not drills gets you further in progression. play everyday if you can, if your doing something wrong - practice, focus on control, footwork, racquet speed, and racquet path and you will find the sweet spot to hit the ball either cross court or into the player on your own, in your play style. just my 2 cents
Great video. Particularly liked the hand stopping and over the net exercises. Also contains useful reference about playing at your own pace regardless of the ball pace.
This is the best explanation of a forehand swing.....GREAT JOB. I have played every other racquet game but they are all wrist Tennis is different and this really made it clear.
very good lesson. This is my issue i feel sometimes i'm playing lacross and not tennis the way i take the ball late and muscle it. Great drills. But there's still the question of control from out front like that--that's probably why i take the ball late. And I like off topic freebee on don't respond to power with power, that in itself is a great lesson--you just need enough momentum to keep from caving on your stroke, you don't need to equal the power coming at you.
Great job! Thanks for sharing this. I'm excited to go out and try it with my students that have trouble with their contact zone. Keep up the good work!
Not sure I entirely agree with finding the contact point using this method. What happens when maximum racquet head acceleration occurs at a suboptimal point? It is a very common problem among players who accelerate the racquet to maximum speed well after contact has been made, AND where the contact point was in a good position. I personally prefer that you aim to have the swish at the ideal contact point. Babolat actually made a nice little vibration dampner called the Sonic Damp, that would make a whistling sound at maximum racquet head speed that works well in assisting students to find the spot. Hope that made sense.
Very good, especially "do not response faster speed with faster speed". A lot of wisdom. In fact, this is also a wise idea/concept of Tai Chi, a type of Chinese Kungfu.
Wouldn't it be funny if you practiced the second drill (stopping the ball with your non hitting hand) so much that you can't stop doing it in a match. LOL. I'm just kidding. It's a great video. All of yours are good methods.
Where are the contact points for the various forehand groundstroke grips: Continental, Eastern, Semi-Western and Western)? Which hits latest back in the stance and which hits the earliest out in front? And, do certain grips match certain stances well ( closed stance, square stance, semi-open stance and open stance)?
Hi Steve, here's how it goes: Continental grip has a contact point "latest" compared to other grips and the Western grip has an ideal contact point well in front, so more in front than others. Semi-western and Eastern are in between. Of course keep in mind we're talking about hundredths of a second difference in terms of time. Open stance comes most naturally for Western type of grips, square stance most naturally for Continental but skilled players (like former pros) can play any grip with any stance. So the grip does not determine the stance at all, one needs to be comfortable and efficient in any stance to play with their chosen grip.
I need to see the position of the racquet from the beginning until end to understand well. I cant understand how to break the rest and continue until full swing and follow through, I couldn't find any useful tutorials, even my coach is fed of explaining to me, can anyone share relevant youtube link
Tomas: Not sure you are monitoring this anymore. I love watching Shaheed's wonderful forehand. Though I have your forehand course (and others) this is my go-to video. Alas, I have been trying for so long to replicate his stroke. But still have problem getting hip and shoulder turn leading the stroke with racquet along for the ride and getting proper racket extension. Sigh....
You are a Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Really Big Fan of your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Keep going! Please, help me with my serve. I have the pizza serve. I need drills to improve my serve!!!!! Thank you very much Master!!!!!!
The contact point/strike zone should always be "in the same direction", but at varying heights. It also can be contacted both on the rise or on the descent. That usually depends on the other player and your court position and tendencies. I really like your video series! Great stuff man!
All these drills (except the one at the net) are teaching the player to get sideways and step into the ball! By planting the front foot and rotating the trunk the player is putting stress on the hip, knee and ankle. In modern tennis the forehand is ideally hit open stance. To respond to a faster ball, wait longer, don't hit earlier as this video suggests.
Really? Why don't you search for Djokovic, Federer or Dimitrov forehand here on youtube and see them warming up. Then tell me how many open stance forehands you see in the warm up? You'll see very few. The closed / neutral forehand is much more comfortable stroke - that's why they choose it. It's not my opinion, it's the fact, staring right at you if you choose to look. They play open stance in matches because they are forced to play them because of lack of time to set up for the shot.
I totally disagree, Tomaz. Pros are not bothering to hit with their maximum capacity in practice so using that footage as an example creates a specious argument. Virtually all top pros hit open stance FHs by choice in matches. Listen to Todd Martin, former #4 in the world who said regarding the forehand, "I can’t stand hearing the statement 'hit off the front foot'. I think the back foot lays the ground work for every groundstroke. If that back foot is not in position and not fully loaded, we are incapable of hitting quality consistent ground strokes. Indeed, sometimes we fire from our back foot to our front foot, and that is understandable, but more times than not, at least at the professional level, the loading and the firing continues the player in another direction other than forward". If your statement were true then Federer, Wawrinka, Djokovic and Sharapova would not have time to turn sideways under duress and would be forced to hit open stance from the backhand side - which they don't. The pros are not "forced" to hit open stance in matches. They choose to. They hit closed stance FHs incidentally. What you are "seeing" is not fact, it is your interpretation of reality. You probably think that the top pros don't have time to count count to 5 either. Best regards, Lucile
Tennis Angel Todd Martin is just one opinion that you put out to confirm your beliefs. Ask Emilio Sanchez what he things about open stance especially when it comes to recreational tennis players. He said that most hip injuries happen on rec level because of open stance. And if Todd hates closed stance so much, why did he play it here? ruclips.net/video/DBM5gKtZiAs/видео.html Todd Martin is not an authority on teaching tennis, trust me. He is player, and became coach way late in his career. Closed stance is the foundation of the forehand and every pro you watch today has mastered it before open stance. The two-handers like Djokovic and Sharapova play MANY backhands open stance because they are forced too. Open stance on one-handed backhand is extremely uncomfortable for the body and therefore pros with one-handed backhand have to play it closed stance even though they lose one step in recovery. I have personally talked to ATP level players why they play closed stance in the warm up for example and they all claim the same thing that I personally feel - it is way more comfortable as we can transfer weight into the ball whereas with open stance we cannot and we have a shorter contact zone to hit the ball in. The closed stance you may think about is when the front foot is paralel to the baseline. No one is teaching that any more (I hope) and it's not in the video above. It is only there that the knee and hip are strained. In the closed / neutral stance where feet are roughly one after another - or perpendicular to the baseline - there is no strain on knee and hip whatsoever once you rotate through and pull the back leg through. So back to the original point - the boy in the video is working on a closed stance forehand. It is the foundation of forehand and backhand. If your opinion is that kids should not be taught closed stance forehand and master the weight transfer and contact point in that situation, then I cannot take any of your comments seriously. And lastly, be respectful in your tone. Your last sentence is not respectful.
Feel Tennis Instruction I have to totally support Tomaz. I play and teach exactly what Tomaz preaches in this video. At this moment I do not suffer from any front knee injuries (I have been playing close to 10 years already). IMO, The interpretation is really basically either 1. to load and push up and immediately rotate or 2. to load and step (or stop) with front leg and both legs pushing up into the rotation. Obviously Stepping action can lead observers into a VISUAL image of player ending in either a open stance or closed stance (where both legs are aligned in a line that is perpendicular to the baseline). In step 2, you will observe that if done properly the front leg is alwasy pointing more or less towards the direction of the ball even if the player ends up in a closed stance. So by right there is NO unnatural stress on the front knee (like in golfing action where front leg stops the hip turning action in a VERY unnatural way) However in Step 2 , there may be a slight stress on the front knee if not done properly. (eg. when front knee becomes the only pushing agent instead of both legs). Emphasis therefore has to be put on using both legs in pushing up into the rotation.. Roger Federer is a great example of step 2. To confirm that his right hand is enable to fully extend at contact and his left leg is often straight when he lifts off the ground Open stance and close stance (I do not preach in my teaching) . It is now all about loading , stopping (stepping) with front leg and pushing up into the rotation. My analysis here. www.learnmatchupandplay.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=145:anchoring-body-rotation-tennis-forehand&catid=39:tennis&Itemid=282
Hi Tomas, I was wondering whether you feel that Shaheed is hitting the ball late because he is hitting it using a closed stance forehand rather than an open stance forehand? When I hit a closed stance forehand, my contact point is closer to my body (less forward) than when I hit an open stance forehand.
You can get your hips all the way around from that stance, it’s just harder. He’s catching the ball late, and leaving his hips under-rotated. Sometimes, if you think about rotating into your shot, your contact point will naturally move, and sometimes if you move your contact point, your hips will naturally start rotating.
hi tomas, thanks for the amazing tips, i have a question, i find that due to years of playing squash and bad habits, i tend to hit the ball mainly with my arm, and thus lose a lot of control, wondering whether you have any tips on how to use my legs more and not use my arm. THANKS
Feel Tennis Instruction Very nice... For me its very hard to hit the ball. I tend to go to the ball as if I'd hit it with by body. Im imitating nadal's and federer's like stretch swing but im using federer's 90 racquet. The problem is can't predict the ball. Is this the right one for me or there's more of your video to follow?
***** actually in what phase can depend on play style because based on what phase the ball is hit in the properties of that shot change. In the ascending phase the ball has a faster straighter path which is probably better when the opponent hits a short ball and you want to hit a winner, while hitting it in the descending phase allows the player to put more topspin on it and gives the ball a more loopy path which is better from the baseline when trying to play consistently.
"taking the zone with you" - I think that's one of the best advises that rarely heard from a coach. Great work Tomaz!
agree!!
Perfect! 👌🏻
This guy is really brilliant at imagining ways to make tennis happen. I'm very excited to try this stuff. I just tried another one called "how to hit a tennis ball". Awesome!
Awsome stuff. You have some of the best instruction on RUclips.
Thanks
Amazing, you are one of the top coaches thomas, the concept of hitting zone plus taking the zone with you and swing earlier than faster are the best.
The word "intercept" incredibly changed my level of play. Awesome tips.
Thanks for this video. I havent played for a couple of years and started again recently. I am frustrated because i dont hit the balls as good as i still have them in my memory. Your video made me more aware again of the timing issue with my swings. Thats key. I hope i can find the right timing again.
I wish you're my tennis teacher, Tomasz. You're methods seemed logical, easy to follow and effective.

Excellent coaching drills . From a fellow tennis coach in SG. Shaheed is a top junior in SG as far as I know.
9:12 Tomaz makes a mistake;
Tomas.exe has stopped working 😂😂
Great video. Particularly liked the hand stopping and over the net exercises. Also contains useful reference about playing at your own pace regardless of the ball pace.
Very good video. So much tennis technique focuses on each step of the backswing or even the follow through. Few actually focus on hitting the ball.
Your videos are exactly what a beginner needs. Thank you
This is the best explanation of a forehand swing.....GREAT JOB. I have played every other racquet game but they are all wrist Tennis is different and this really made it clear.

Wow! What lovely drills to help players hit good forehands. I am a tennis coach in Bangalore and will use these tips.
Thank you
Very interesting drills, I've already practiced and really worked for me and for other tennis players too. Thanks!
Great job! Thanks for sharing this. I'm excited to go out and try it with my students that have trouble with their contact zone. Keep up the good work!
Your videos are so helpful! Best tennis advice I have found so far
Not sure I entirely agree with finding the contact point using this method.
What happens when maximum racquet head acceleration occurs at a suboptimal point?
It is a very common problem among players who accelerate the racquet to maximum speed well after contact has been made, AND where the contact point was in a good position.
I personally prefer that you aim to have the swish at the ideal contact point.
Babolat actually made a nice little vibration dampner called the Sonic Damp, that would make a whistling sound at maximum racquet head speed that works well in assisting students to find the spot.
Hope that made sense.
Wow what a detailed teaching strategy,good stuff
i liked ur teaching way its just awesome it helped me so much .The best option was the contatct zone which u made.
Tomaz is a super great inventor
Simple but very effective approach...thanks a lot
Very good, especially "do not response faster speed with faster speed". A lot of wisdom. In fact, this is also a wise idea/concept of Tai Chi, a type of Chinese Kungfu.
Really great forehand on the student, very Djokovic-like in the technique and aesthetic.
This is amazing, I nominate this coach, world best coach ever for the most common problems for players, globally. Now to find him locally....!
OMG!!! So awesome! Wish I saw this 20 years ago!! THanks, Tomaz!
Great video. I'll definitely use these tips when I teach my little brother tennis.
excellent coaching and good drills.
always stress importance of hitting the ball out-front.
BIG THANKS!! great content and the best teacher. My game has improved thanks to you!
You're such an amazing coach.
You are the best tennis coach on youtube, thank you for your videos. Where are you based? I would love to have a lesson with you
Very clear instructions. Thank you
Shaheed, you are such a great player! Thanks to both of you for demonstrating some excellent drills : )
He represents Singapore. Tomas was in Singapore coaching in National setup.
excelentes consejos y
Shageed tiene muy lindo swing
Good jobe creating zone with the polyspots!
You are instruction god! ill must recommend these to everyone i know that play and wana improve their tennis

Great drills. Just watching made me aware of a few things.... Thank you very much for this.
Hello coach! was wondering which balls to use to play as a beginner?
How can i get used to hitting forehands with swinging motion, but not just pushing my arm? Like a whip?
You are the best. How i could have one hour tenis class with you?
This has helped me a lot hitting the ball earlier
Tomas: Not sure you are monitoring this anymore. I love watching Shaheed's wonderful forehand. Though I have your forehand course (and others) this is my go-to video.

Very good coaching, i love it.
So brilliant! Thank you, coach!👍
Thank you for your tips, I'm sure this will help me a lot.
Simple, Smart and Wonderful drills
Hi
Thank you for your video. Can I take lessons with you?
Great tutorial!! Thanks!!
U r the best teacher.
Wow what a tip. I can not wait to try this drill.

Great video. High quality instruction.
Thanks for the video. Very useful tips for making progress.
I'm subscribing, love your teachings.
The slow motion contact point was a zone zone auto zone 😊
outstanding as usual - thanks for the instruction
Wonder if any of these drills will work for beginners.
Great drills! But I wonder what grip Saheed use on the forehand ?
looks like the eastern

Where do you train Sir .... Thanks

What are the dimensions of the zone?
About half a meter.
I Will Use These Tips
How do you get the nice, consistent pop?
Hitting the sweet spot consistently.
may i know what grip does shaheed's using on this drill?
Semi-western grip :)
I do like this drill. Great !!!
Excellent! Really!
Thank you so much
Good stuff! thanks!

THANKS
Hi, I posted a video some time ago that should work for you: Tennis Drill - Using The Body Rotation
Feel Tennis Instruction Very nice... For me its very hard to hit the ball. I tend to go to the ball as if I'd hit it with by body.
Im imitating nadal's and federer's like stretch swing but im using federer's 90 racquet. The problem is can't predict the ball. Is this the right one for me or there's more of your video to follow?
Fine,in order to find the contact zone in every stroke
Only thing. The zone drill. Shaheed seems to hit the ball in descending phase, which I think he should try to get in ascending phase.
***** actually in what phase can depend on play style because based on what phase the ball is hit in the properties of that shot change. In the ascending phase the ball has a faster straighter path which is probably better when the opponent hits a short ball and you want to hit a winner, while hitting it in the descending phase allows the player to put more topspin on it and gives the ball a more loopy path which is better from the baseline when trying to play consistently.
这真是个好方法。
This kid has a teriffic swing!! Maybe my bones just fails a 50 something old man ㅠㅠ
Nice
Aha! Carrying the zone with you. Then let the opponent return the ball to your zone! That is tennis mind.
This boy has a pause as he begins his forward swing.
I have the same problem. I hit the ball late ( thats what they say)
I Think The Contact Point Is Around The Bellybutton.
interesting his timing is not good....even with all the practice....
