Superb Rick many thanks.

Looks like its not camera guy's day job!

Kicking the ball with your feet is against the rules.

2005 called, they want their video codec back

No. Nice try but this is not new generation.

Excellent, thanks Rick, from Bogota, Colombia

So truth, students doesn't listen and no patient kept using wrong grip to serve.

Excellent Rick excellent!!

It's 2024, why upload at 480p ?

Unfortunately, none of this contributes to the actual "next-gen" forehand. The next-gen forehand is all about the wrist. Look at for example: Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverev. Look at what these guys are doing thru contact, and look at their arms and wrist after contact. Mouratoglou has a better idea of what the next-gen forehand is.

Great tutorial Rick ! Thank you. P.S. - not sure what is going on with your uploads, but many of them lately are only at 480p..... so they are super soft and fuzzy. Your camera for sure shot those at 1080p, so something is wrong with the technique your media person is using to upload to RUclips.

Agassi had a short takeback like that. He was the best off the backhand side.

You know you have a huge ego when you go on social media and proclaim yourself to be the best at anything. 🤣

“50,000 MRI’s of strokes” 😂😂😂. As in vascular strokes? Typical Macci. He’s been doing this for decades now.

You either have it or not. If you don’t you can develop a mechanical 1hbh, but it will be obvious to a real competitor and viewer.

😂😂😂❤🎾

Very good instruction. Thank you very much.

Rick-STOP IT MAN!!!

Very well said.

Can he make this more complicated? Geez man.

Thank you for explaining that the 2 positions and the pull + flip are a teaching instrument, and that you expect this to be a fluid movement ultimately. I had seen you describe this in a couple other videos and I was confused by the mechanical positions teaching method.

Yeah. I try to do that on my forehands.

Good tips. What to do when the ball is a high top spin? Your video shows the ball about hip high. Thank you.

Good tennis Bad 🍊 🤡 supporter !

Good technique when waiting for the ball… try it when running to the ball…I’m watching Federer vs Murray at Winbledon,most of the times they hit with extended arms. It’s good to know how to hit the ball, but having good athletic skills makes it much easier to win games.

Hopefully people ignore the first explanations about straightening the elbow, and got to 7'30" when the actually scientifically supported optimal manner for the straightening (extension) of the elbow occurs. It is clearly and accurately demonstrated there, that it is a result of the shoulder beginning to forward (away from where the racquet was held in the unit turn phase). That shoulder turn is off course driven by the torso muscles that connect right down to the hip. It is such a problem in coaching, because it has been shown that most people learn more through observation than through the ears, that slower motion demonstrations over exaggerate points that will change with the addition of speed and momentum. Unfortunately the "good" student has already memorised the earlier demo; as is commonly seen in recreational players being overly stiff, and prepared too early (also related to describing swing phases wiothout reference to ball phases).

Isn't this known as the windscreen wiper technique? Not a basic skill but an advanced skill.. in this the follow through, hip rotation and the butt pointing towards the net isn't there. Fed does play like this- he is a master. Sometimes djoko, Nadal never played this shot

I have to carry a clock to the court now?

Pete Sampras elbow

This is way too complicated, gimmicky, and definitely not new. I’m an experienced former college player and current teaching pro. The forehand is nothing more than a sidearm throwing motion albeit at various arm angles. Take someone out and teach them to skip rocks on a lake or pond or watch someone who has played baseball and learned to throw at different positions and angles and they can hit a forehand. I have never seen so many forehand issues in my life until I gained more and more experience teaching. What’s the issue? Kids just don’t learn how to throw and most have never played baseball.

Man Rick you ruined it by saying the art of the deal😂

Paralysis by analysis. I can just see a club-level player trying to remember this all at once. SHANK!!!!!!!

I've seen him in action ... If I was at the age to try and push through to the ATP he'd be my coach.

Amazing master class

So good, thank you!

So good. Thanks. I would add the importance of the non-dominant arm swing back for counter balance.

Great instructions. Simple, repetitive, relatable.

Everyone making jokes in comments but Rick has taught the best in the world for decades, he knows better than RUclipsrs

What role does the non-dominant hand play? Should it initiate the rotation?

i love you rick !

Guy takes forever to show the technique.

Elbow extension in early stage, of the age leads to elbow injury (golf elbow).

Study Federers forehand….it says it all. MRIs, separation angles, tapping a dog, turning a door knob…..sorry Rick, Keep it simple. Watch Roger!

"A light on the elbow"? How about "keep your eye on the ball"? Too much blather. All the imagery and metaphors will just keep you in your head... the last place you want to be in sports.

1:21 So left hand stays down like that? lol. I don't think so.

Only shoulders rotation without trunk no mass x swing

My door knobs turn the other way. What kind of bizarro doors does Rick have?

Get rid of the artificial rackets and strings. That’s the only reason the ball is hit fast.

so where is the new generation forehand ???? keeping the racket on the right side is asked already more then 10 years , inverted racket already asked by oscar wegner 35 years ago , the windshield wiper or doornob is from the 90s so actually i dont see anything new here !!!

This advice is not bad. Especially the shoulders part.
