Transcript

Right now I will show you what we need to focus on. Again, let me start framing as you can see in the previous video, now you're gonna see from the right hand side from the other angle, I want you to focus on three things at the moment, the position of my body, I'm gonna be slightly on the way forward, like if I was skiing again, straight back, of course, you don't want to be like this, you want to be as straight as possible, more relaxed. You see, again, Roger Federer. Very good position, very good stance, but something between Joe polish and Federer so kind of like on the way forward, you don't want to be if you if you want your forehand to be a weapon to be a massive big shot. You don't want to be leaning backwards, because at this moment, you can't transfer anything into the ball.

You can only transfer the weight of your body into the ball if you standing in this position. You see every single Pro, if you see them from a side, always kind of on the way leaning forward more not too much. As I said before, not too much back if something like the idea is you want to be well balanced when you see Federer again, Gonzales All these guys have big foreheads. They are super balanced before they hit a ball. So they move around the car super bollocks and they hitting super balance. Yeah.

So the idea is you want to be in a comfortable position, very balanced and very relaxed. Number two you're gonna focus on is my arm. Same thing, very relaxed. If I'm gonna be stiff in my arm, I can't again, I can't hit it hard. I'm gonna be I'm gonna be just rigid here. super relaxed and he's swinging through the ball.

So first, the balance position. The way you stand, again, is always very nice kind of the skin position. You focusing on my arm. And of course, number three is the war body transfer coming from the legs always. You load on the right foot, right like, you start initiating coming up from dead righty. Okay, very important, especially on deeper balls.

If it's a shorter ball, you will be on the left but again, the weight and the power comes from the back foot. Always. Me Keep shoulder contact point, this kind of order, the idea is that the shoulder has to really get forward on the contact point. Kind of oh look in the right shoulder here, as I'm hitting the ball, and we're gonna try we're not gonna try we're gonna do it just like Federer when my arm fully extended, and I'm gonna be really taking bold very early and right on top. Yeah, as you know, as I mentioned before, you take it up all right on top of gives less time over opponent and we take in power of the ball so we know getting tired, we just changing the direction of the ball. Okay, let's get into it.

So right now I will show you from this angle. So you watching that position, my legs, the reluctance on my arm, of course, also, please write down if you can just pay attention to my wrist, but I'm gonna show you in a second we're gonna do so at the moment. Just focus the legs, position, the relax arm and how much I'm turning before I hit the ball. All this weight transfer this is the key. Again, this is the key element if you want to have your forehand a weapon You want to transfer everything before you get to that contact point. So by the time you hit that ball, everything has been transferred the big wide everything to speed into the ball.

Yeah, everything has been transferred through like hip, shoulder arm and into the sweet spot of the racket. When you time it's well that's when you get that click the good feeling the really good shop, they want the food's great. They want it's gonna be the one that's just really good, really powerful. And you're gonna put the opponent on the big pressure. This is why big guys like Gonzales they'll put for silage they have a lot of weight of Rinka lots of weight and they managed to transfer their way into the ball that's why they have a big shots and that's why guys like a fun trick question now a little bit more subtle. They don't have such a huge shots.

They also have of course, are not as big as the other guys because they transfer less weight into the ball. Even if your coach is a huge, huge fast swing. He still his ball is not as heavy as bothering Catherine Campbell. Mary also puts Love, love power in the ball recently. So let's check this one from the angle, you're really focusing on that I'm really going through my morning, I will try to go as much as I can. And again, the balls gonna land around three quarters of this, you know, I don't frequent us on the court, so I'm gonna try to attack it.

If it was deep with me live with a friend, as you said, you want to attack, what do you feel comfortable with. I'm gonna hit the ball, get behind the cone, whenever you should call. That's when you tell your partner or your coach or opponent to feed another one. So the idea of this drill is you're really going you also move there's no point of just standing in and just going you know, gonna improve in tennis is all about footwork, all about movement. So I'm gonna be recovering regulation, great fitness and exercise at the same time. We are strengthening our legs, which is the key.

Let's get into it. And I will show you this is an exercise you're focusing on race. So I'm getting behind the inside attacking the ball and again recovering inside attacking the ball. Again, imagine this is the last shot. This is the one that you really want to win the point with that, at the moment I'm doing cross code, I have poke holes in the corner on the other side, around here, basically 1234 on the other side, and I'm aiming everything in that corner. So let's say my opponent is on the backhand side is me sure to bone around here, and I'm gonna come in and try to win.

So let's get into localization. So let's write these things down. You're moving into the ball, you don't wait for the ball. You always go out to the ball, you're trying to hit a ball on rice or as early as you can have an Irish is the top after the initial first bounce. you're transferring away from the likes the knee, the hip rotation shoulder, into the ball, after you hit if you fully rotated after you hit. That's a great proof.

If you've done everything well if you can Just like her like approach on the other side, if you can hit a ball in front of your arm fully extended, that's fantastic. Again, how are we gonna check this? Let's say you're going on a corner to train. So you either have a camera like me on the side and you compare with a pro. So with just this video that I just did, or you just tell someone next to you, okay, can you please watch me, if I'm hitting the ball, my arm fully extended? Well, this one, you can actually feel if you're hitting the ball with your arm extended on, of course, the ball rotation, you can also check if you finishing pointing the fence on the left hand side, the other side.

So it's kind of a good way how to control yourself. If you're doing it the right way or not. The weight transfer check is again, it's gonna be the show that feels great that you're gonna be like, Oh, yeah, that was it. That was it. That feeling that really great feeling. That's the right right way.

How to hit a forehand when you manage to get that feeling I always say to everybody, when it feels good. Remember that feeling and any trying to regenerate that same Feeling I do it every single time on my game on my students game also. So let's focus on these things.
