    Topspin works, the other day I was playing my friend and he was ready to call a few balls "out" but it dipped down at the last second and hit the baseline.

  • @MarcoSolidx

    We amateurs tend to stray apart of fundamentals. Yet it seems simple, its extremely valuable. When our ball is missing, a reset is needed to hit with confidence, thanks!

  • @GershonBenYitzhak
    @GershonBenYitzhak Год назад +8

    One thing that I think people do not realize, is that when you put all the force into the vertical (as you describe), you actually lose topspin. You get more topspin if you can get the ball to spend more time on the racquet while moving it vertically. People just hit the ball high and brush it a lot, and call it 'lots of topspin', but it actually doesn't have more topspin.

Most other videos do not show the explanation and mechanics performed slowly so it can make sense and have it all come together. Thank You!

    Hello, thanks for comprehensive drill demo. I am a amateur player, playing old school tennis, but trying do get the top spin moves. One thing I noticed at this drill is the wrist movement change. At step no1 the spin is mostly dictated by the wrist, while the rest of the arm stays more or less fixed. As you go back to baseline, the rest of the arm including shoulder plays a role. Can you please share your experience : what makes the spin work in the 60/40 scenario spin /power- is the shoulder spin move or the wrist ? Appreciate it.

    let your racket drop from your takeback position, rotate your hip (which creates lag), hit up and through (drive) the ball. Do this as relax as possible (let the racket go, and do most of the work)
    That's about it.

    Ian, I would highly recommend reading Vic Braden’s book Tennis for the Future or the revised Tennis 2000 or on RUclips Vic Braden’s video on bio mechanics. You mean well. You’re passionate but study Vic!!

  • @JamesDavisakaRemguy
    @JamesDavisakaRemguy 2 года назад

    That little 'tchk' sound you talk about (2:19) when hitting topspin at the net: are we supposed to hear that when we hit a full groundstroke from behind the baseline? (I'm guessing NO.) But will a regular topspin groundstroke _sound_ any different than a flat groundstroke?

    • @paddlepower888
      @paddlepower888 2 года назад +3

      I agree with you. Ian does this only next to the net. As he moves back, the wrist moves as a unit with the arm and shoulder, rising from waist level to chin level. The large muscles need to move the 11+ ounce racquet; using just the muscles of the forearm might lead to an overuse injury. Should have been mentioned in the video.

    • @MsStaceyBrooke
      @MsStaceyBrooke 4 месяца назад

      I worried about the same. He said though, at the net you hold the racket at the top of the handle, which is not normal practice. As you move to the baseline, move you hand down to a normal position, but he didn’t explain about wris vs elbow vs arm from the baseline. I understand you have more control the more you HUG your elbow into your body.

  • @rucas10

  • @claudecoup423

    THAT SOUND is the ball hitting the strings. It will make that sound even if you hit it straight through with no spin. No?

  • @pakchu2
    @pakchu2 2 года назад

    If you're returning a fast ball, what ratio do you recommend? Seems like the topspin sweep will be harder to time

    • @danielhoward6866
      @danielhoward6866 2 года назад

      Serve or ground strokes? For serves I just try to block it back. Slice or higher spin with depth but lower velocity can work too.

    • @bournejason66
      @bournejason66 2 года назад

      It’s the million dollar question. Even pros sail the ball long sometimes. You just have to adjust it yourself. And remember, the balls don’t lie. If it’s long, your top spin is not enough

    • @danieltowers9328
      @danieltowers9328 2 года назад +1

      I find that the most effective way to return is to still finish your stroke, but with no back swing.

    It's interesting, I see this video come out and then I see this video on searching more on this type of wrist movement on the forehand: ruclips.net/video/5V8Ij3Raw6w/видео.html
    I too was moving my wrist like this for more top spin and ended up hurting my wrist a bit. I would also say that or would ask Ian, doesn't this add another variable that can cause very inconsistent results and framing of the ball?

    • @superredsfan
      @superredsfan Год назад +1

      IMHA the wrist movement Ian demonstrates at the start is just to demonstrate how the racquet moving up the back of the ball creates the topspin. In the full stroke he explains that it’s the swing path, low to high, that creates the moving up the back of the ball not wrist side flexion or arm pronation at contact, that comes after the ball has left the strings and the swing continues to the opposite shoulder

    • @edtennisadventures7410
      @edtennisadventures7410 Год назад

      @@superredsfan I also have the same doubts about this exercise. Using the wrist like this is teaching something that has to be unlearnt later.

  • @wolpetto
    @wolpetto 2 года назад +5

    Personally I dislike this Progression since it suggests that the role of the wrist is fundamental in generating topspin. Usually the problem lies more in the takeback and the use of the left hand. There are some elements that nearly all pro forehands share and that most amateurs lack. These lacking elements lead to poor topspin or inconsistent shots.
    1. Topspin is generated by swinging from low to high. In order to consistently swing from low to high it is extremely helpful to have a high takeback(rackethead pointing upwards) and to start the racketdrop only when the swing is initiated.
    2. In order to hit a powerful topspin forehand the contact point should be in front of the body and the racket face should be vertical or slightly close.
    3. To achieve the right position of the racket face during the contact point, the movement of the left hand (and thus arm) is crucial. If you watch pros forehands in slow mo the hand is usually at shoulder height at the contact point. This occurs because the pros usually pull their left hand hand across their bodies. This generates racket speed. This lateral pulling usually causes the racket to tilt. In order to prevent the racquet from tilting the pros move their left hand to shoulder height. This usually result in both hands moving in a parallel and the rotation of the upper body. This gives the shot consistency and power since now the torsos rotation is added to the swing and the racket is in a vertikal position during contact.
    4. Lifting your left hand while pulling it across your body also helps you in swinging from low to high since usually your right hand follows your left hand.
    It would be great if you made a video with progressions focusing on the high takeback, the timing of the swing initiation and the role of the left hand. Usually these are the aspects where most amateurs are lacking.
