Some coach I watched says between 0 and 10, your wrist should be at about #4 in terms of firmness. And thats for most groundstrokes. Of course, in some other situations your wrist should be softer or firmer.

The other day, I was was hitting better by letting the tip of the racket fall to the ground as I start making my swing. Basically, get into the Pat the Dog position. Then unhinge my wrist and let the tip of the racket fall to the ground as I start driving my hips and legs. This little move seemed to take the tension out of my wrist and forearm and allowed me to produce more spin and more effortless power.

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I'll keep working on it. It seems to help me a lot to create a bit of wrist adduction before going into extension. It seems to take the tension out of the wrist and arm and forces me to use the legs, hips and shoulders to move the racket. Creating adduction before extension also seems to naturally allow me to put more spin on the ball, as the wrist will naturally have to abduct through the point of contact. So I'm getting into the the Pat the Dog position. The creating wrist adduction but letting the tip of the racket fall to the ground a little before extending and pointing the buttcap at the ball as I go to hit it. This seemed to work wonders for my forehand last week. It felt like the first time I was able to put proper spin on the ball and hit tension free forehands. Thanks again.

This is excellent. Can you please do this for the two-handed back hand? Also, I think a loose wrist requires a loose grip but it’s never been clear to me how strong my grip should be on my ground strokes. Do you tighten your grip at the moment of contact and then release it immediately after contact? This small details are rarely addressed by coaches.

What is the degree of tension of the hand at the moment of contact with the ball on the string surface, how does it change, depending on the conditions in which the stroke is performed?

One thing I’ll disagree with here. The wrist doesn’t stay in cocked back position during the contact. If wrist is loose and the player times it right the wrist will snap and meet the ball. And most coaches preach hit in front of body which I’m completely against. To achieve effortless power the contact is not too much infront, it’s actually matching the front foot. Your front foot aligns with the contact (sometimes that contact is a little ahead than the front foot) so let the ball come in a little bit if your having trouble brushing balls in the net too much.
@TopTennisTrainingOfficial
7 ай бұрын
Have to completely disagree with both things you said. Watch any slow motion clip of pros making contact. The wrist is cocked back at contact unless they’re using an extreme western grip. If I snapped my wrist prior to contact, my racket would be facing the left side of the court. And when you make contact late, you stress the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints. Increasing your risk of serious injuries
@ROSEMARY-gl7wx

Coach Simon, great lesson! Im new into tennis, not producing consistent RHS. I’m trying to loosen my forehand, however when making contact with the ball, my grip flutters, & i lose my control completely.. Does this mean I need to grip tighter when making contact? Does it naturally stiffen my wrist a bit? How do I balance this compromises? Thanks
@TopTennisTrainingOfficial
11 ай бұрын
I would ensure you have a sticky overgrip on the racket, that will reduce the movement and then play around with the grip tightness. Often, the hand slips due to a worn out grip, or a too small grip size for your hand.

Hi Simon, Just to clarify please, are you saying that pronation happens before or after contact? As the racket travels upward and fast with pronation I thought it should start before contact to benefit from that to create top spin.🤔
