This is the most important tennis lesson... That no one is teaching correctly. This is the fundamental technique that all the other technical aspects of a shot must lead to doing this well as with out it the strokes will never be good. Wish I had seen and understood this concept years ago.

This is such a great video. I own the feel tennis forehand course and it’s covered but I never really “got it” before this lesson.

I have been watching your old video again and again to remind me about this "slapping" motion. I was teached to brush up the ball a lot when starting and it messed my swing, too much effort in the swing but no power at all. thankyou for updating this video, I will keep watching this until my swing is fixed.

The rug hitting analogy is a great image

Watching tennis instruction so many years on YouTube, this video is the most important for power output, if the wrist does not do the slap and rotation (should be passive not active), the power and hitting point during training will be off, that is why the pro player can easily overpower amateur with no effort.

This one is a game changer for me! I have been pushing the ball up until now and it takes so much effort to get it to go anywhere. With slapping it finally feels easy.
