In tennis having an effective "jab" is just as important as a knock-out punch. The pros use heavy spin, that penetrates the court to help maneuver their opponent and keep them off balance. In this video Nate teaches you how to improve your "jab" by developing a heavy topspin forehand!

Can you do the same for double backhand please
As always, Platinum content by the Perfect Bearded One! I think I've said this probably a thousand times now...in this hidden youtube corner, you guys are the undiscovered gem. Cheers and a great week! M
thank you very good video I struggle with hitting top spin going to try this
Since I started playing for the last 4 years I never knew why I couldn't achieve topspin now I know why it was my follow through such a great tip I never knew what to do with my arm after I hit the ball, just went and hit about 50 balls at the courts and 90% went in with top spin thanx so much
That's awesome..love hearing that! 👊
Thank you for your video! Need to try this drill.
go get em! 💪
I just spotted you guys behind Andy Murray at the Citi Open. 😂 I'm home injured, otherwise I would have been there myself. I'm only 45 mins away. Hope you guys have a good time!
😂 too funny. Was a fun match! Sorry to hear you’re injured. Hopefully you heal up and you’re back on the courts soon!
Mini Tennis is this drill. Thanks for the confirmation.
Thanks! Great lesson!🎾
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips Nate. I hit inconsistently sometimes going for too much topspin and this is why…my arm breaks down so I lose the leg/body connection to generate power. Your tips will help with this. Thanks again! 👊🙂
Always happy to help! Let me know how it goes 👊
Thanks Nate!
Most welcome!
great timing on this video! as i work my way back into the game...i find myself mis-hitting quite a bit on my forehand (catching the bottom of the racquet on the upswing). i know my timing is still off which is part of it...but i believe my swing is too vertical. going to try to work on fixing my swing path to drive the ball a bit better.
You got this! 💪
GREAT video. Nadal and Alcaraz hit ridiculously heavy forehands, but it looks like they are leaning backwards at contact. We're always taught to lean forward for power. Is it just an optical illusion when they're uncoiling their body?
Hi I have difficulty hitting the forehand. When hitting forehand, the ball has to come to me at a very specific contact point (at waist level or lower) and I have no problem with getting my swing right. The problem is if it's a high ball to my forehand. With my backhand, no difficulty if high or low..with forehand, even if I try to move back, I lose momentum and lose power when I try to get the ball at my contact point. It gets hard for me to hit whenever I get a forehand and I'm struggling with high ball
I want to give sa little advise the one you show is only flat topspin, the heavy topspin is your body will go up before contact and you will see when ball bounce on the on the opposite court ball will kick..
Apprecitte the feedback but not sure the body lifting up is ideal on any shot. The racquet path on the forward swing will ultimately dictate the amount of spin on the shot whereas the body should remain stable throughout the coil and uncoil phase of the stroke.
Sorry, it ist not the hand, its the forearm. It is pronation.
Heavy topspin and penetrating topspin the same? If not, what's the difference in the swing path of both?
Good question, they are largley the same from our interpretation
@@Playyourcourt From my interpretation, heavy topspin lands deep has high bounce whereas penetrating lands short but high bounce?
How's the Tiafoe-Evans match? Saw you guys on TV.
Great match! Was rooting for our hometown guy but Evans was on 🔥
My points of interest: 2:26 - Topspin Roles: Shoulder & arm vs forearm & hand wave 3:57 - Elbow Pointing Forward Finish for Pro Topspin (Feels Great)
You lost me at "the legs". They're hardly doing anything
