Forehand Contact Point Correction | 3.5 NTRP Tennis Lesson

Good work .
Late is bad .
Also ...
Stance is a bit too side on for my liking. Almost locks out sometimes.
That would help.

anyone know what white racquet is that coach using?

I can't believe I have access to this content for free.

오픈하는 타이밍이 어떤게 빠르고 느린건지 아직도 구분이 안간다…

Ntrp 1.5

Nice they fixed up the courts where Venus and Serena started.

No way this guy went from noodle arming it to powerful fh in the span of one video. But who cares. Good for teaching purposes.

This man hits just like me 😂

Is there any video about body rotation? (Non-dominant hand)

There’s a word or phrase that you used in describing how to hit a forehand which in my mind is the most important and accurate description of the skill — and that word is { “opening” up the right arm} . This insight came to me about 6 months ago and transformed my tennis ever since.
For many effin years (over 50) ,, and even now,, coaches wrongly tell you to “take the racquet back” which I feel is the incorrect statement to describe a movement that is dynamic, natural, fluid and is completed in “one” motion. The whole body is in locomotion and constantly moving ,, not static ….. nothing is “taken back” !!
I also use this phrase { opening up } to show someone a Backhand. Additionally ,, you can use this same idea in all the strokes — standing and running volleys, overheads , slices etc.
A friend asked what I thought about his Backhand because he wasn’t comfortable with it . He showed me what he did …. and of course, he took it back like an old school dummy! I simply told him to “open your arm” and step in with the right foot! BINGO ! It finally clicked he said . He has had problems with his Backhand for so many years and he enthusiastically and emotionally thanked me.

is there a video demonstrating proper close/open stance and timing with the correct contact point with double backhand?

The sound difference on contact before and after

The bodybuilder decided to play

As an old guy with a weak eastern grip I’ve always tended to hit late. The cue that has worked for me (along with a stronger grip) is starting the forward swing with the left (off) elbow.

Two things. The boy has his arm very tense; he should loosen it up more. Stop applying force.
You should try placing a cone about a meter in front of him and have him continue his movement each time he hits, extending it until he reaches the cone. This will help him use his body more effectively to generate speed for the ball.

excelent explanation! Excelent evolution...

Amazing video! Like a perfect answer to questions I have been asking myself for a long time!

This is a 3.5 level?!

haha. during the first 20 seconds of the video, I kept saying in my head "turn your shoulders!!!"

You can see his stroke gets so much power just by changing the tempo of his rotation. Amazing lesson. Thank you coach!

He’s taking the ball so late! That’s the main difference between amateur and professional and the feet movement!

I wish I had an interactive coach like this. I'm a very mechanical person and this video surfaced many things that I had questions about but couldn't get the right answers.

If this guy is 3.5 then i should be on top 100😂

Je suis moi-moi-même coach de tennis et franchement c'est une excellente leçon de tennis. Il analyse très bien les erreurs de son élève et propose des corrections parfaitement adaptées et opérantes. C'est du très bon boulot.

Great improvement!

I understand none of that

One the most important things that helps me with my forehand. Many thanks Nikola for sharing such a good lessons

Hey Nick thanks for these videos. One question I have is when you talk about moving the body in the prep phase the student did have his chest pointing to the right but his stance had completely changed from open to closed.
So I guess my question is did anything really change in terms of the mechanics? I guess in the closed stance you would naturally rotate through contact.

Hi Coach, where are you base at ? Really love the way you teach, i wish i could get some lessons from you lol.

Great coaching

I think he needs to fix his left arm. It's not out at all. The elbow is close to his body when it should be further out. It's making his stroke look so tight.

Does pulling the racquet help? It forces the player to open up at the right time and optimises body mechanics.

Great video!!! Now I understand, what „late“ does really mean: I also have to turn the chest to the front BEFORE swinging/ accelerating! Thx, Nick! And your ability of analyzing others swings is phenomenal!!!😮

Fantastic coach and quick-learning student.

what camera do you use to record?

his Before is exactly how i hit...arm bent like T rex, and I can get NO power, it's worse for me cuz i'm 6'3" so i get even less extension on my arm. I'm going to try the opening up faster and more rotation. If i could just get a little power on my forehand i'd be a monster i'm literally not able to put any power into it the way i currently hit.

Excellent teaching quality

Man I wish I could have a coach like you here 😢

que aburrimiento de entrenador.... solo hace hablar y hablar....

amazing video! well done!

Bro background looks like gta 5

Wow, tennis is so easy! 😂

I'm 39 and I took up tennis during Covid. I have been playing since 4 years now and am completely obsessed with it. Watching/Playing - it's all that's on my mind. Never thought I would fall in love with a sport like this! Your videos are very informative and I love watching them - can relate to so many issues. Thank you very much for helping people like me out!

Fixed his fh in one session

On September 1, 2024, I started learning tennis at the age of 35 years and 10 months. It is such an amazing sport. I am happy every time I think that it is time for me to play tennis again.

Opening up sooner also aplies to relationships, now im single again :)

He is like punching the ball not hitting it.
