ive been strugglign with my forehand for over10 years. I can hit the shot... but it always breaks down in a game, especially when i lose confidence. Just as Patrick mentions... when the ball bounces, I am not ready to accelerate at all... always still pulling back... Thank you for this lesson
I feel with you - having similar topics... the challenge is to get rid of the wrong motions the brain knows for many years - it would be easier to learn from scratch.
id like to add to keep track of the rhythm in your mind or even loudly during trainig sessions: 1 - ball comes flying PREPARE and - ball bounces START ACCELERATING 2 - hit the ball and - back to the middle. 1 and 2 and... like a beat.
this video has everything i need to solve my problems....i thought i am too old to get back my topspin forehand and have to resign to slices...now i am making progress with what i learnt from this video...new beginning
Patrick, when you check the phone with the video, it looks like you start to need spectacles 🤓🧐. Maybe you could pay attention to this for older players. over 50 years. thanks for your videos, Carl 64🤓
If she brought in her racquet more towards her body during the unit turn , specifically during the first quarter of the unit turn , the racquet gets away a bit too far , she loses time here on the forehand causing the lateness . If you see closely , she starts the unit turn but the racquet kinda hangs out in front and to the side of her too long and then she makes the move to complete the unit turn but it’s too late . Her body is ok on the unit turn but racquet isn’t in sync .
I struggle with preparing early enough so that was a lesson for me. That said she still didn't get it, even after all the coaching you could see it was the sound of the ball bouncing that got her to pull her racket back that last bit. That I suspect is me - fine with a ball machine but doesn't work if the ball is hit harder.
“…. When the ball bounces, start to accelerate !….” Great tip . That’s why you need to be fully prepared and ready. So many good tips by Patrick! Wow! “… prepare, prepare, prepare … accelerate the hand !..,”
Enjoy all of your lessons. Quick question ... on this drill what are the settings on the Slinger ! ... i have one and don't seem to get such a consistent ball for practice
@@ale.tuccit Why should a player 'put weight' on a ball? Are you suggesting that heavier players have an advantage over smaller, lighter players? FYI - a person's body weight is irrelevant in tennis - the fact is that the upper body rotation is the driver for the arm swing. Patrick's notion of the 'body' going through is meaningless - the physics of racquet-ball impact is determined by the inertia of the racquet swing - the racquet mass delivers energy to the ball via the strings - the player's body mass has nothing to do with it. Note how PM contradicts himself - after saying go through with the body, he later says just play with the hand, inferring that only the arm swing is important. He never mentions hip or trunk rotation which other coaches do with reference to top pro players such as Federer. Patrick Mouratoglou is a fake coach - I've never seen him hitting with a professional player and there are no matches anywhere online showing his ability to play competitive tennis. So where does he get all his tennis tips from - what exactly are his coaching qualifications? PM is all talk and no substance, just like Bolletieri.
@@Chris_Sheridan no, I didn't mean that heavier players have advantages or disadvantages, I didn't express myself well. and yes, the rotation of the body and especially of the leg that passes from back to front is extremely important. About Patrick personally i don't agree, he is always very clear with his explanations
@@Chris_Sheridan what the hell are you talking? If a player would just play with the Power of his Hand or even Arm there would be no chance to have this acceleration + control. The upper body Rotation is just one Part of the kinetic chain. It doesnt work without the transfer of body weight towards the Ball. Using your Arm only is old school together with Continental grip or stuff like that. Outdated af. The weight of the Player doesnt matter because its not for Power but for control. To control the Power that is given by the loose hand and of course the rotation
Im tired of watching patrick shadow strokes i want to see him hit the ball. He has that crappy ball machine out there to do his dead ball feeds for him so I don't understand why he can't show her what he's talking about.

i have power on forehand, ex : when u make volley ? u have power too, in serve return too, the power = legs dynamic that all.
id like to add to keep track of the rhythm in your mind or even loudly during trainig sessions:
1 - ball comes flying PREPARE
and - ball bounces START ACCELERATING
2 - hit the ball
and - back to the middle.
1 and 2 and... like a beat.

Wow she hits cleanly I'm jaleous
👍👍👍😍 love it. I'm new to tennis, and learning everyday. 😊

Amazing video, so technical and useful!😍😍😍 can’t have enough of your videos

interesting that he corrects her preparation over and over, but she still keeps doing the same thing

Student has very nice strokes!
Ciao Patrick. Se vuoi puoi spiegare quali prese consigli per i vari colpi. Ti ringrazio anticipatamente. Ciao

Great lesson Coach Patrick she improved greatly with her preparation - Merci
Very gd instruction!
Most of us understimated the forehand is easier then backhand until missing in points played.
très bon entraînement, je vais essayer de copier ces mouvements avec mon SligerBag cette semaine
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That whole thing about having finished preparing as the ball bounces is so true.
So many to learn always!! amazing how the white ball is hanging and not fall from her weight🤣
beautiful tennis room. is that indoors or out? the walls look like screens only. nice translucent ceiling too!
Thank you for the lesson. And super player...
What grip do you recommend for forehand stroke?
Enjoy all of your lessons. Quick question ... on this drill what are the settings on the Slinger ! ... i have one and don't seem to get such a consistent ball for practice
Try asking 2 minute tennis
I think she can have more spin on her forehand
She is good. Her forehand is a bomb
The best video on the web!
Looks like Holgers forehand
Awesome footwork for her lenght...
First one here! Yay!
Thanks for this. Very good 🤗
So good
Now I know how to improve my timing! Thank you.
great lessons
brilliant
muy bueno excelente
What does BODY goes through mean?
It means that when u hit the ball you have to move forward with the body and put weight on the ball, so not using only the arm

I enjoyed the girl immensely. What a fit and fetchingly beautiful specimen!
