    The critical part of the forehand swing is contact, achieved through horizontal shoulder adduction, involving closing the shoulder angle and internal rotation. Mastering this technique is essential for effective forehand contact. It's important to find a comfortable grip that aligns with this motion to ensure a naturally good string angle at contact. The grip should complement how the body feels while executing the swing, regardless of whether one uses a full Western or Eastern grip. Coaches should focus on the pectoral and shoulder muscles that aid in generating velocity through this movement, emphasizing the pressing forward action during contact. The contact zone is crucial; if it's compromised, players will miss more. Additional techniques, such as proper stance and torso rotation, enhance the swing, but the focus should remain on the shoulder adduction to achieve a successful forehand. Practicing this motion during mini tennis and maintaining a natural grip will help transform the forehand swing.

  • 00:00:00
    the most critical part of the forehand
  • 00:00:01
    swing is contact and it's created by
  • 00:00:05
    this it's a motion we call horizontal
  • 00:00:09
    shoulder adduction the shoulder here
  • 00:00:11
    that's the joint in question the
  • 00:00:12
    shoulder we are closing this angle here
  • 00:00:15
    so you don't see people hit four hands
  • 00:00:16
    like
  • 00:00:18
    this we
  • 00:00:20
    close this angle and that creates
  • 00:00:23
    contact and you'll notice that my arm is
  • 00:00:25
    also going to internally rotate as I do
  • 00:00:28
    that that's external external away
  • 00:00:30
    internal internal meaning in towards the
  • 00:00:32
    center line of the body so this is the
  • 00:00:34
    end of the forehand
  • 00:00:37
    here horizontal shoulder adduction
  • 00:00:40
    internal rotation that is the key if you
  • 00:00:42
    can master that you can Master forehand
  • 00:00:44
    contact okay so let's talk about some of
  • 00:00:46
    the some of the implications here so
  • 00:00:47
    number one I'm not going to hold my
  • 00:00:49
    racket I'm just going to do
  • 00:00:53
    this okay nice and comfortable now I'm
  • 00:00:55
    going to figure
  • 00:00:57
    out for this comfort motion for my body
  • 00:01:01
    how do I hold my racket so the swing
  • 00:01:03
    works for me it's like this and now if I
  • 00:01:06
    do
  • 00:01:08
    this when I got to contact I was right
  • 00:01:11
    here I had this nice slightly closed
  • 00:01:14
    string angle that's what we're looking
  • 00:01:15
    for at contact so again for my
  • 00:01:19
    body contact slightly closed string
  • 00:01:22
    Angle now I can just hold the racket
  • 00:01:23
    completely
  • 00:01:24
    randomly again I'm not GNA pretend I'm
  • 00:01:27
    hitting a ball here I'm just gonna
  • 00:01:28
    figure out okay boom good motion okay
  • 00:01:31
    obviously that's not going to
  • 00:01:32
    work that's how I want to hold the
  • 00:01:34
    racket because that was my comfortable
  • 00:01:36
    swing and that's the string angle I need
  • 00:01:38
    to hit the ball and now because I've set
  • 00:01:41
    the racket up to be comfortable for my
  • 00:01:43
    body I can memorize what this feels
  • 00:01:46
    like and if I swing like
  • 00:01:49
    that I know I don't even have to think
  • 00:01:51
    about it I know that through contact my
  • 00:01:54
    string angle is going to be good because
  • 00:01:56
    that's how I set my stroke up and so
  • 00:01:58
    this is you know if somebody if
  • 00:01:59
    somebody's natural the natural way they
  • 00:02:01
    do it it feels better like that maybe
  • 00:02:03
    they'll end up playing with a full
  • 00:02:04
    Western if they naturally feel better
  • 00:02:05
    like this maybe they'll end up playing
  • 00:02:07
    with an Eastern that's not important I
  • 00:02:09
    mean it is important because it's going
  • 00:02:11
    to change your string angle but it's not
  • 00:02:12
    critical as far as having a good
  • 00:02:15
    forehand the critical thing is that your
  • 00:02:16
    grip and the way you hold the racket
  • 00:02:18
    matches what's
  • 00:02:21
    comfortable and natural for you with
  • 00:02:24
    your horizontal shoulder adduction your
  • 00:02:26
    horizontal shoulder adduction is your
  • 00:02:28
    forehand contact you can hit beforehand
  • 00:02:31
    like this you don't have to rotate you
  • 00:02:32
    should rotate we'll get to that later
  • 00:02:34
    different video but you don't have to
  • 00:02:37
    you
  • 00:02:38
    must add up your
  • 00:02:40
    shoulder in order to hit a forehand and
  • 00:02:43
    just to be a little more clear a little
  • 00:02:44
    more explicit it's not that important if
  • 00:02:45
    you're player but for the
  • 00:02:47
    coaches these are the PEC muscles just
  • 00:02:49
    refer to them as a pecs um it's not that
  • 00:02:52
    important like which actual muscles here
  • 00:02:54
    just kind of this chest area that
  • 00:02:56
    presses here that's what you need to
  • 00:02:57
    know for tennis this is the shoulder
  • 00:02:59
    here or well this is this is the humoris
  • 00:03:01
    here this bone in here the shoulders The
  • 00:03:03
    Joint we're talking about we're talking
  • 00:03:04
    about the pectoral humoral angle closing
  • 00:03:08
    that's what we're talking about these
  • 00:03:11
    muscles pressing the hand forward that's
  • 00:03:15
    how we generate velocity through contact
  • 00:03:17
    on the forehand antennas we press
  • 00:03:21
    forward through contact with this now
  • 00:03:23
    there's a lot of lower body trunk
  • 00:03:26
    there's a lot of stuff that happens
  • 00:03:27
    before that that generates velocity but
  • 00:03:29
    we're just talking about the contact
  • 00:03:30
    Zone The Hitting Zone and and and most
  • 00:03:33
    of the the parts of the forehand that
  • 00:03:34
    create fault tolerance we are talking
  • 00:03:36
    about this final shoulder adduction
  • 00:03:39
    motion don't you don't even need to
  • 00:03:43
    [Music]
  • 00:03:44
    rotate in order to hit a decent
  • 00:03:48
    shot we can just add up the
  • 00:03:53
    shoulder that is the start of the
  • 00:03:55
    forehand now obviously as we build in
  • 00:03:58
    we're going to have AIT a much better
  • 00:03:59
    Palace atletic stance we're going to
  • 00:04:01
    fire this back leging right we're going
  • 00:04:03
    to take our our torso we're going to
  • 00:04:04
    torque it around those are all Upstream
  • 00:04:08
    of the contact but if the contact is
  • 00:04:10
    broken those things don't matter all
  • 00:04:11
    they're going to do is make you miss
  • 00:04:12
    more um all this like swing faster more
  • 00:04:16
    toss and more margin that only works in
  • 00:04:17
    the context of knowing what it feels
  • 00:04:21
    like to adduct your shoulder like this
  • 00:04:24
    and once you know what this feels like
  • 00:04:26
    it's going to help with a whole whole
  • 00:04:27
    host of other things for an example the
  • 00:04:29
    ball's low can't add up to my shoulder
  • 00:04:31
    so what am I going to do tilt my torso
  • 00:04:34
    nice athletic stance get that back knee
  • 00:04:37
    down and now I know what this is
  • 00:04:40
    supposed to feel like I know my shoulder
  • 00:04:42
    is supposed to go like this I can feel
  • 00:04:45
    this rotation here I know I'm supposed
  • 00:04:46
    to push the arm forward I know the chest
  • 00:04:48
    is supposed to push the arm forward and
  • 00:04:49
    in order to do that when the ball's
  • 00:04:53
    low I have to swing like this I'm not
  • 00:04:55
    gonna swing like this if I have a
  • 00:04:57
    natural intuition to out of my shoulder
  • 00:04:59
    because in order to do that I have to be
  • 00:05:01
    down here and
  • 00:05:04
    now all of a sudden it feels good
  • 00:05:07
    similar thing why do people throw the
  • 00:05:08
    racket above their head because Ball's
  • 00:05:10
    too close to me again there's nothing I
  • 00:05:11
    can do but I want that same feeling so I
  • 00:05:15
    throw the racket above my head and now
  • 00:05:17
    I'm able to get some of this same
  • 00:05:20
    feeling so that's it that's going to
  • 00:05:21
    transform your forehand start with
  • 00:05:23
    contact when you're doing mini tennis
  • 00:05:25
    just feel the adduction find that spot
  • 00:05:29
    in front of you
  • 00:05:31
    where this can happen naturally and
  • 00:05:34
    again hold the racket such that the way
  • 00:05:37
    that's natural for your body to feel
  • 00:05:39
    that hold the racket such that that
  • 00:05:41
    creates a good string angle your forehe
  • 00:05:43
    hand's going to be transformed you can
  • 00:05:44
    work on all the Upstream stuff but
  • 00:05:48
    fundamentally you prepare away from your
  • 00:05:50
    body you add upct your shoulder through
  • 00:05:52
    the ball and you see it the entire time
  • 00:05:56
    that's how you hit the forehand
