Forehand
Here you will find videos to improve your forehand.
Forehand Missing Link
What if the forehand isn't really a swing at all?
In this video, I explain why the modern forehand shares many similarities with a lasso-throwing action. By understanding the natural throwing mechanics behind the stroke, you'll develop a smoother swing path, better racket acceleration, and more effortless power.
You'll learn:
• Why elite forehands resemble throwing actions
• How the lasso analogy improves swing path
• Common mistakes that destroy racket-head speed
• A simple drill you can use immediately
This concept has helped many players stop forcing the forehand and start producing power naturally.
The Strange Cue That Unlocks Forehand Power
Most players try to create forehand power by swinging harder with the arm. Unfortunately, that often leads to tension, poor timing, and surprisingly little racket-head speed.
In this video, I explain why thinking of the forehand as a throwing motion can transform the stroke. By focusing on "throwing the racket" at the ball, players naturally improve sequencing, release tension, and generate greater racket speed with less effort.
You'll learn:
Why arm-dominant swings limit power
How the throwing concept improves the kinetic chain
The role of relaxation in racket-head speed
A simple drill to feel the correct motion
How advanced players create effortless pace
The wrist elbow relationship that creates effortless power
If your forehand feels forced, inconsistent, or lacking effortless speed, the issue may not be your wrist—it’s your sequence.
Elite players load through the elbow, creating structure and stretch. Only then can the wrist accelerate naturally, producing whip and racket head speed without manipulation.
In this video, you’ll learn:
The correct role of the elbow in the loading phase
When and why the wrist “takes over”
How to avoid the common mistake of early wrist activation
Why You Trust Your Backhand More Than Your Forehand
Most players trust their backhand more than their forehand.
Not because it’s a better stroke…
But because it’s biomechanically more stable.
The backhand is built around a relatively fixed wrist structure, creating a consistent radius and predictable contact. The forehand used to work similarly. But the modern forehand has changed. It relies on a far more dynamic shoulder complex, with external shoulder rotation (ESR) playing a central role in generating speed and spin. This creates fluidity—but also uncertainty.
In this video, I break down:
Why the backhand feels inherently more reliable
How the modern forehand introduces variability through the shoulder
The role of external shoulder rotation (ESR) in racket acceleration
Why do most players never stabilise this movement
How to consciously organise the shoulder—by “throwing” it forwards and upwards—to create both fluidity and control
Racket-Lag Starts Behind You, Not Beside You
Most players believe racket lag is something that appears during the forward swing, close to contact.
In reality, when lag shows up late, it’s already too late.
I then alternate:
Shadow swings with two rackets
Live ball-machine strokes with one racket
This contrast trains the nervous system to reproduce early lag automatically, without conscious effort
In this video, I explain where racket lag must occur biomechanically for it to contribute to acceleration, not compensation. True lag exists at the back of the swing, as a product of sequencing, mass, and relaxation — not as a last-second manipulation near the ball.
You’ll see why:
Lag that forms beside the body is reactive and inefficient
Late lag shortens the acceleration window
Early lag allows a long, rising acceleration phase into contact
To make this tangible, I introduce a two-racket constraint drill. By increasing mass, the body is forced to organise the swing correctly. The racket naturally lags behind the player instead of being dragged late toward the ball.
