Yes it helps when i grunt i can be more agressive. It is a psycological placebo thing but it works for me. So making the sound does help beyond the extra breath volume.
If grunting is so helpful, why isn't it prevalent in other sports? Why aren't golfers screaming on their tee shots? Why don't football/soccer players complete every pass with a grunt?
@@thetennismenu a 320+ yard drive is a power move. A soccer/football shot from outside the box is a power move. Most sports have power moves. I get that it comes from martial arts; that doesn’t explain the discrepancy
In all honesty I think vocalizing the breath through grunting only helps in achieving more of a combative state of mind in dynamic, changing plays, like tennis. I think it would only distract a golfers swing to do so. Also in a soccer penalty shot or rugby conversion kick. You notice Federer or Sinner almost never grunt yet both have incredible power and racquet head speed. Alcaraz and Nadal almost always grunt, Djokovic does both pretty evenly. It just seems to be a personal preference in tennis, I have seen Federer grunt a lot on clay where he needs extra explosivity to produce more topspin and less precision. That might explain it a little more
Grunting isnt an issue but the screaming is.

@@eramberg1969 grunting is more utilize in power movements, it comes from martial arts.

Grunting helps with timing
