- Having a great forehand that holds up under pressure in matches is one of the biggest assets you can have as a tennis player!
Imagine having the confidence in your forehand to go for big shots with plenty of topspin when it matters most.
In this video OTI Instructor Gregg le Sueur gives you a technical tip that will help you gain more confidence in your forehand especially under pressure!

Greg, you only told half the story. Yes the racket path is from low to high. Most of the power is generated not from the shoulder, but from the lower body. Look at Delpotro. He has a squat move with his legs during racket preparation, then extends up with his legs.. to the extent where his feet are slightly off the ground. A very powerful move all pros utilize when they can. An athletic move all good players need to have
Robert Haar no need for rec players to lift up. Stop complicating things are listen to what he is saying.
I would say to myself " Lift from A to B". Thank you Greg.
Very clear points . Two years ago I accidentally discovered the power of lifting shoulder, rather than swinging more laterally, and my forehand really took off and became more "weaponized." Thanks. e.b.
Excellent but most rec players are idiots and will never change.just by reading other comments i can tell it is a waste of time. People need to listen to what u say and just donit until it is natural. Self feed baskets instead of trying to learn proper tennis by always playing. Its a useless endeavour
@@OnlineTennisInstruction Hey Frank - they are no idiots, they have however deeply embedded muscle memory. The memory is way stronger than the their will to improve. But you are damn right in one think - they thing, and ego reinforces, that they know enough to play, play, play - and never practice. E.g. Novak won couple grands but have you noticed how much he improved his serve last year? This does not come from playing but practising, experimenting, listening and ... changing from what was not bad at all... (Steve Deren)
Very interesting... and illuminating Gregg! I thought I had a forehand, but now I think I have a half a forehand. Apparently, I've been trying to lift my arm through the hitting zone from the elbow, without fully engaging my shoulder. Then recruiting my wrist to enhance the spin. No wonder I experience chronic stress in my forearm and as you point out, inaccurate targeting. Going to practice changing this bit of funky muscle memory on the TopSpin Pro right now.
OK after a couple of minutes on the TopSpin Pro consciously lifting my shoulder... I have the same amount of topspin as with my old method but previously my strokes would slightly push the device toward the left and gradually rotate it toward the left also (i.e. to face more cross court). So after 10-15 strokes I would have to re-position it. I was inadvertently pulling my shot to the left. Consciously engaging my shoulder, the device stays stable. Wow! Also my forearm feels much more relaxed.
The instruction is saying "go from low-to-high" ... Well there is NO OTHER way, it always low to high - maybe with the exception when the ball is above you head (however still possible)?
been trying for 40 years to find my proper forehand. Seems like great instruction. I will try this next time on court. Thanks
Simple and useful
Thank you for this, it’s a reminder but explained in a way that I can reference it during matches.
This technique makes sense for those who hit with a straight elbow, as the examples of Del Potro and Federer show. But what about the bent elbow forehand that other top layers such as Djokovic, Murray, Wawrinka and many others use?
