The Forehand Mechanics

 

Forehand Mechanics - YouTube Videos 

Hope: Can you break down the mechanics of your forehand in this video?
Tony: Can you post our first session videos on YouTube so Hope can see her strokes in slow motion?


















Hope: thnks. i see i need to have my paddle in a more ready position so i can get more swing and then contact the ball more forward with weight on ball of foot, body turned and then full follow thru completely.
whew!!so much happening in the two seconds! (Hope: Can you post this as a comment in this blog post?)

  • Simone you do an excellent and very helpful breakdown of this topspin shot! I’ve been trying to get my muscle memory down. I was having trouble breaking the mechanics down so I could practice and repeat the shot. The video really gave me the steps to create a repeatable shot!
  • 08:23 BINGO....the power source in this stroke-the acceleration- comes from the HIPS, NOT THE ARMS....thank you Tiger Woods!! Feels GREAT..And the left hand has a big role: tracking the path of the approaching ball. Also, "READY AT THE BOUNCE" means that you have finished your setup BY THE TIME THE BALL HITS THE GROUND ON YOUR SIDE. If you start your setup when the ball strikes the ground you're waaay late. Great clip.
