- How To FIND The Tennis Forehand Contact Point
Make sure you know the differences between the medium, low, and high contact points. You should be doing your best to play most of your shots at the medium height!
Drop hits- place the ball in front of yourself and play your shot balanced. Work on playing all 3 different contact points.
The cylinder of balance- pretend you can play inside your imaginary circle or cylinder to play shots with the best balance possible and not hitting outside of your contact points.
Use of the non-dominant hand- this will allow you to stay more balanced while hitting your shots and help you find the optimal spacing from the ball before hitting and finding your contact points.
Rallying/Practicing- now that you are ready to play all your contact points, rally and put all your skills to work!

John, where is the contact point for the various forehand groundstroke grips? Continental, Eastern, Semi-Western and Western. Which is the latest back in the stance and which is the earliest out in front? Do certain grips match certain stances (closed, square, semi-open, open) well?
@@swalterstennis HI Steve, Thanks for the great questions! Some of these have been answered in this video: ruclips.net/video/TYQM8ShQ3n0/видео.html. Other questions I will address in a future video. Thanks again, John
Visuals from the two views for contact are helpful.
Thanks, John
The best video I can find on YT about contact point 👍👍👍
Thanks Jason! I sure appreciate your contribution to all the videos! Best, John
Couldn't agree more. My forehand was built on the Eastern grip, but I'd go semiWestern on high balls which at 6'7" is more often. I attempted to hit more on the rise to avoid high contact. At 75, the forehand is still a weapon. Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks Del! Best, John

Thank you! I am glad this lesson was valuable for you! Best, John
Thanks John, another gem of a video on a topic that many have failed to address on their videos I have seen thus far. Very helpful!!
If I can ask a follow up question - does the 3 contact points (namely for high/med/low balls) OR the swing style change under windy conditions? It generally feels harder to hit an effective forehand (deep into the court) when conditions are windy and the balls are bouncing high. Why is that? What's the best strategy to handle such situations?
Doing an amazing job John! Keep it going!!
Best Regards
Arvinth
Hi Arvinth, Nice to hear from you, and thanks for the great questions and kind comments! Wind is certainly tricky. Remember the Federer-Nadal semi-final at the French in 2019? It was a disaster for Federer! I don't think the swing style changes, except that I would focus on more getting more topspin (to minimize the effect of the wind) and really focus on the ball after the bounce to improve timing and contact.I would also play shots well inside the lines to create a margin around my target areas. I hope this helps. Thanks again! John
Performance Plus Tennis that was indeed a disaster condition for Federer. I also wondered had he not participated in the French open that year and rest/prepare for Wimbledon, he might have won his #21 at Wimbledon. 40-15, Fed had the match point…😲
Great video John. Just curious when you speak of the three contact points and you show the hand is below head racquet on low ball, even on the waist ball, and hand is above racquet on high ball. Just wondered if when making contact, I should lock wrist at contact, to control shot? Thanks
Hi James, Thanks for your question...which is a great one! Ideally you will make no conscious attempt to lock the wrist. I will address your answer in a video very soon...stay tuned! Best, John
@@PerformancePlusTennis Thank you John.
So understanding the balance in the mind part? Judging distance and using your footwork to get in the right place seems to be the execution hurdle. Correct?
Yes, one of the hurdles. Focus on keeping balanced and tracking/ adapting to the ball to achieve the ideal contact point. Good luck and stay tuned! Best, John
Hi John, so from side view, both low and high ball’s contact point is closer to body than the medium height ball? Can you clarify it for me? Thanks 🙏
Hi Jason, From the front view, the high contact will be the furthest away, but from a side view, it will be slightly further back than the medium contact. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks, John
Great video! I played junior and Div 1 college tennis and never had a lesson on spacing relative to the height of the ball. Thx!!
Thanks Richard. Glad to know the video lesson was helpful to you! Stay tuned...we have a lot more coming on the channel. Best, John
Hi John, where can I find out more info about taking lessons with you in person?
Hi Bourne, You may contact me through this link and we can take it from there: performanceplustennis.com/contact-us/
Best regards, John
Performance Plus Tennis just sent. 😀🙏🎾
Sir, how can I improve spacing between the ball and my body so that I can hit more better. After reaching out my non dom arm. I find it very difficult
Hi and thanks for your question. I suggest practicing first by drop feeding the ball and finding your range, and then expanding the practice to receive the ball in stages of challenge. It's so important to know your contact points...the rest is ball judgement/ tracking and positioning. Let me know how it goes. Best, John
John, just an observation...... your medium was at knee height.
Thanks Poida! Best, John
Nobody has explained this as well as he does
Thanks Meena! Kindly. John
