RUclips is a fantastic resource for players who want to learn tennis, but I'm sure it can sometimes be complicated and overwhelming. In this video, we'll review two big-picture concepts to hopefully simplify it for you on your forehand and backhand.
There are many other components that new players struggle with, such as extension and where the hand finishes, but start with these two!
Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi, another great video. Could you do another video for Medium-high intermediate level to advanced level so that we can build up a few videos on each other?

[@BeforeandAfterTennis]

Hello-do you mean some general advice on groundstrokes? Or what in particular?

[@topspin1715]

@@BeforeandAfterTennis General advice would be fine but if I had to decide I of course would specify to particularly focus on aspects of what is needed to increased racket head speed and maximizing the body to achieve this result, for example, concepts like turning upper body more than lower body, unloading back leg to front leg, maybe timing of uncoiling such as you want to uncoil lower half before uncoiling upper half to create a bigger stretch shortening cycle. etc. just some ideas hahaha.
