- Use the wall to find your perfect contact point on any stroke. Place your racket against the wall in your contact position, and then check whether or not you can actually generate FORCE through that contact point.

I've been struggling with finding the right contact spot, this has helped me so much. thank you
Great content! May I know can we use the wall to find the optimal contact point on serve and backhand slice as well?
It's the same process on the backhand slice. Get in what you believe to be your contact position, and then try to drive through the wall. Adjust your body until you're comfortable, balanced, and creating force through the wall.
Then, remember what that looks like. Back up, toss a ball to that spot, and test it out.
The overhead is the only stroke for which it's a little more complex. I'm releasing an overhead video in a day or two, so if that doesn't answer you question, post again.
@@FaultTolerantTennis Thanks for your reply! Will definitely check this out!
Also looking forward to the overhead video!
P.s. your video on explaining shoulder adduction really transforms my forehand! Really thanks !
The racket is already thrown/released by the contact. The force is generated well before that. You’re not pushing a car at contact! I mean you don’t need power at contact, you need it well before that.
In practice, in tennis, the final links in the chain generate force for such a short time that you want to center your contact zone around that force production, and press through contact. If you try to press only before contact, you'll often finish too early, and have your velocity leak out before you actually hit the ball.
How close is your hand to the wall?
The racket is touching the wall. It isn't totally flush, probably slanted forward 10 or 15 degrees.
