Thank you so much for this clear lesson. There is so much to think about and learn from here. I would suggest saving the open stance for another lesson, it’s good, but for the beginner it’s just complicates things. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Dear Tomaz, I am always amazed how talented you are! Your ability to demonstrate and explain the complicated tennis technics and skill is unmatched. It really seems that you love what you are doing and you do it the best! I am 75 years old and have been playing recreational tennis for 60 years. I have learned from many coaches and on line instructions and found you are outstandingly different. Keep up the great work. Nick

That was a great video Tomaz! I watched it very intently and shadow practiced as I watched it.

Hi Tomaz:
Thanks for your excellent breakdown of the Forehand Fundamentals.
Very relevant to myself is your “no more backswing” comment. This is a forehand weakness of mine that I continually try to correct with varying degrees of success!
Your tennis instruction in the best online…
best regards.
Anne

Welcome, Philip!

Yes, balance is very important, it’s the topic of one of my future videos…

Wow, Tomaz!! Thank-you so very much for this thorough & insightful video. I will take the time to digest it all starting from the GROUND up. A few years ago, I took some online instruction from Jim Mclennan and he also emphasized the foundation of Balance. His teacher Tom Stow taught the importance of the feet: how & when our weight transfers from one foot to another. I remember Jim told a story of how Tom Stow studied dance technique (Fred Astaire) and when we prepare to hit groundstrokes, we must arrive and “wait with our weight” on the back foot, before we step in on the front foot and then stroke. Thanks again for this fantastic video. – philip

Thank you Tomaz for the wonderful video. Your instruction makes a lot of sense. I enjoyed watching it and taking notes. I can’t wait to go out and try it on the court tomorrow. I appreciate your time and dedication.

Tomaz,

As I mentioned in some past comment, I find it amazing how you can “deconstruct” something as complex as this and explain it in such clear and simple terms. You ability to do this is outstanding. Haven’t seen it nowhere else.

Couldn’t go to the court yet, but just by shadow swinging I can feel what you want to transmit.

I find particularly interesting the concepts of “no more backswing after the arm engages” and the “order of importance” of body parts, from bottom up.

Still wondering how you figure out these concepts and chained them.

I would be great to have a similar video for b/h whenever you can. I believe, though, that the general principles shown here (not the details) apply straight forward.

Thank you for putting this free material for everyone!
