  honestly, thank you for all of your videos.  i like a lot of tennis videos, but i always come back to FTI for your sane and achievable goals.  after 300 videos about "getting sinner's forehand whip", my 56 year old body needs "how to hit like a human being".

  A great summary of items that &quot;tense&quot; the body. &nbsp;My most important is to be able to get my body in the correct distance to the ball as it bounces up off the court. &nbsp;This skill comes to most of us through thousands of balls being hit to us, and not standing flat footed waiting for the ball. &nbsp;My second issue is to begin my &quot;unit turn&quot; or &quot;unit rotation&quot; (shoulders down through my thighs) JUST BEFORE beginning my forward swing, i.e. lead with your back hip rotating forward, and the relaxed swing will follow. &nbsp;I think you gave a perfect example of this when you hit the ball with only two fingers on the racket; the power comes from your &quot;unit turn.&quot;

  Hi Tomaz, thank you for the video. &nbsp;A nice visual learning of seeing the tense vs smooth versions with multiple repetitions - to go along with the explanations. &nbsp;The explanations seemed nice and smooth, just like the strokes! &nbsp;p.s. nice palm tree court, spring in Slovenia? 😉

  Hi Tomaz,<br>This is another awesome video🤗. In terms of affecting balance and comfort adversely I have my shoulders on a diagonal with the front shoulder up as I swing to contact. &nbsp;I think I do that because I like hitting the ball when it is low. &nbsp;Do you think I should be bending my knees instead?
