This is lesson is pure genius. Have seen soooo many forehand lessons and none, absolutely zero, no matter who the coach, or how much the coaches' experience, have ever broken down the forehand into exactly how the top pros hit it point by point and clearly explained and clearly showed exactly why their shots are so powerful and accurate. This lesson is a true blueprint to hitting a pro-style forehand that can be followed by players of all levels. Thanks SO, SO much.
Ran across this video this yesterday, then went and hit later in the day. My forehand was never more consistent , smooth and relaxed. Thank you! The tip about getting the arm in line with the shoulders was exactly what i needed. I was all over the place. I hope i can keep it going! the only thing i would add is mentioning hip rotation as you drive forward, that instantly allows one naturally drive the racquet forward without very little effort by the arm. Just remember to not be too tight in the arm and wrist. GREAT VIDEO GRANT, same goes for the other video about have about 8 steps for the forehand!
This lesson is ridiculously impressive: the energy you bring is as always contagious, then the end-to-end process or steps. Man, this is good stuff. Thank you.
Brilliant instruction Grant! I needed this lesson so badly! These are exactly the things I have been working on explained expertly. This video is just complete validation. Thank you!
Amazing video Grant, thank you so much! It really helps me to understand where my errors are and I am certainly going to rewatch this a lot and practice all the steps on court!
Hello Grant I have bought your training but I dont remember you talked about thé torso flexion (6:30 mn) …. CAN you détail more this point please ? Thanks for help.
Transferring movement patterns into "unconscious muscle memory" goes against everything we know about how motor learning happens. It takes a massive amount of repetitions before something becomes an unconscious movement pattern.
Grant one thing you have wrong is that pros actually hit off the back foot into the front foot , not off the front foot like in the 70s. Many coaches have this concept wrong and it resulots on players hitting off the front foot resulting in injuries and less power.
Great point!! That's 100% correct in that the majority of shots are hit off of the back leg (right leg for right handers)! Important to note is that there are key instances, particularly when the ball is low, short and/or directly in front of pros that they will hit off the front foot, either pivoting or hopping depending on their shot selection. That is the predominant focus in this lesson🏆🏆
nice made up video. In my opinion the 3 steps are correct. But the main factor what you could have mentioned in step 2/3 you missed is the shoulder. If you compare your first shot and the second shot you see the difference of the position of the shoulder. In the second shot you do way better and it looks more like what the pros do. The shoulders are more balanced and have like the same height. What i recognized is that you have a nice forehand, good swing. But i think you swing very loose in comparison to the rest of the body what appears to me too strict. Also you could go more into the knees before swinging and let the body free after and while swinging. So the body tension in general is too desyncronized in my opinion. Hand loose, body strict, legs stiff. I´m sure you can manage that and will gain way more power because the progress of learning is pretty high, especially with this high motivation you show.
Oh my gosh. Will people believe anything a RUclipsr has to say. The pros NEVER land the split step before the opponent hits the ball. NEEEEVVERR. Pros are in the air when the opponent contacts the ball. They do this so they all ready know which direction they are going to move before they land. This way they don’t lose time moving the direction the ball is traveling. I put the pros you showed into Coaches Eye and they did the opposite of what you said. 🙄🙄🙄
That's correct, the ideal split step timing is to be in mid air at the moment of your opponents contact. This allows you to react immediately when you hit the ground, adjusting into position. This is what I was referencing in the video🏆
You said exactly the same thing as Grant and said Grant was incorrect. 😅. Split step before the opponent hits the balls -> when the opponent contacts the ball you would be in the air to react
It’s laughable that you compare your forehand to those in the video. Your forehand is mechanical and inefficient. The pros’ forehands look effortless. Not the same thing dude.

Wow, thank you!

Great analysis!
Why it’s so important to use pros as a guide for this if any national level kid do the same up from 12 years old?

Just a sales pitch. Grant VanderHayden doesn't have a UTR. If your technique is that good, show some match results.
hes a clown xD
minchia quanto è agitato.....

Thanks for the feedback - there's always more to work on!💪
bro namedropping Macci every chance he gets.... just stop. if you're a good coach, it'll show in your instruction. leave it at that.
It is called marketing bro.
If the student trusts you more they will be more inclined to follow your instructions, name dropping Macci helps tremendously with that.
