This is the kinetic chain at it's most efficient. It is a combination of the perfect shape and the perfect timing. The result is a kind of hypnotic flow ... and over a million viewers tuning in to watch a mere warmup session.

Louis Cyphre: the secret seems to be relaxation, yes. the other secrets seem to be endless hard work. and sculpting your body into a perfect tennis instrument. and brilliant insights into how the game of tennis should be played. and god-given talent, including the ability to see the world differently than others. and an ability to think for himself in these things when others would have preferred he embraced the purely conventional. and love for what he does to give it his full attention, passion - not just punching a clock. and self-responsibility - not looking over to a coach when he screws up. a lot of secrets there that even if we knew them all many could not entirely replicate. that doesn't mean we shouldn't try, though, in whatever sense makes us happy.
@bournejason66

@Trent S the way Roger swings is so different from his predecessors, including Sampras. He swings rotationally while the conventional wisdom was ( and still is in the US) swinging to the ball linearly. Good he didn’t just copy his idol Sampras.
@trents3515
3 жыл бұрын
@@bournejason66 : i think there is some truth to that. i remember someone (a tennis instructor on youtube, i believe) said Federer has had the same forehand in that rotational sense ever since Federer was at least junior level. the instructor's point was not to try to copy that as it won't work for other players, not being natural to them and you can't force something like that in the fast-paced environment of a tennis match. Federer, after all, has a natural way of playing that relies on quality of posture, timing/rhythm and an overall body awareness proceeding from a center (your 'rotational') that includes great balance etc. that nearly every other person can't match. by moving from his center, he brings his arm naturally along and thereby hits the forehand with his entire body. and he is able to do that with great timing as it is so natural to him! no doubt, he has cultivated this to some extent via body work over the years but it is also a natural gift. unless you have the postural alignment etc, trying to mimic that just won't work for you very well. AND when you see what he does as "play" as a result of his talent in-between points, it is hard to imagine how anyone could copy him exactly in those things he practices every day as part of his job! yet, there is a lot to learn from him for the ordinary tennis player, anyway, even if none of us will ever put it together quite like he does. come to think of it, Federer, actually, once humbly indicated some surprise that more people weren't approaching the game in the way he does given (he didn't say this last part) his obvious success. however, "baby Fed" (Dimitrov) has certainly tried to copy Federer as much as possible but still doesn't hit his forehand in quite the same way as Federer, much less as well as Federer. so, i think people should be learning from Federer (certainly, more than they have) but to some extent they - and i - just can't do some of what Federer does even if we wanted to. the way our neural nets were laid down, as well as our current body alignments, won't allow it. nevertheless, Federer is very solid with fundamentals. and even his revolutionary approach in terms of "rotational" is very sound, too. there are many scientific principles to explain, or at least describe, what Federer does (from Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido, for example, which relates certain concepts to excellence in many fields of performance) but actually intuitively understanding them the way he does and putting them (among many other ideas, no doubt) into practice like he has when every other player is trying to dethrone him in such a competitive environment has inspired so many people, including me! the beauty in his play is mesmerizing, in part because it seems like how tennis SHOULD be played. more than that, his apparent generosity of spirit also inspires people. Federer could have dominated the tennis world with a bad attitude, maybe, given all his gifts. instead, he took us along with him and made us all part of the victory. some cynical people say that is for marketing reasons but i don't really buy that. a person with so much love in their heart isn't so beholden to the almighty dollar bill! whatever, we've been lucky to have the pleasure...
