Tomaz, I notice that you have a classic forehand.. What do you think about "pating the dog", wouldn't it add more spin?

Great details, thanks

Your wrist is in extension not flexion at your tipping point.

Tomaz, this is an insightful video. After a couple practice sessions, I'm starting to use the technique in matches. As you say, the ball lands in reliably; bounces deep, high and fast; and catches my opponents off-balance. I've been playing for many years and never knew how to do that before.

Greatest tennis sensei

Amazing tips!

This was an excellent and comprehensive guide. Huge thanks again to coach Tomaz!

Good stuff. Hip rotation *should* happen naturally. If you're advanced enough, you've learned to keep the arm as loose/relaxed as possible. To initiate the swing, you then HAVE to use your hips.

Thank you Tomaz - this was an excellent video lesson. Do you plan for one or have one about how best to return a heavy ball?

Great lesson, it helped me a lot! In fact, your whole channel is awesome. I was wondering if you also "aim in the window" on serves?

14:38 this is a very nice comparison, thanks!

my count is 1-2-and-a-3... 1 lift the the ball up ... 2 release, see the ball rise.. and-a is my delay with the drop.. 3 is contact...in musical notations: it's 2 quarter notes (1 + 2) followed by an 8th note and a 16th note, and the strike is a whole note... i do this for the first forward serve and 2nd top/side spin serve where the toss and swing directions are different, but the tempo is the same. It really helps my consistency.

Hi. Thanks for your professional pedagogy to this movement. I think one of the best.

Best tennis tip EVER!

The problem Is that often i receive slow ball like you in the video, but is hard close the point...

Very clear explanation! Thanks so much Coach

Hi Tomaz, thank you for this video.. it's quite simple to understand, a testament to your superb teaching quality. So my question is, as rule of thumb, what is the apex height of this heavy ball? in the video I saw it's just above adult height, meaning 2~2.3 meters? Is that correct? If we make it higher than that, it will give the opposition more time to react?

As I get older I notice topspin becomes more and more draining and taxing of energy. I'm now 69 and am sorry that I don't seem to hit with as much topspin as before as most of my shots or more or less flat. When I do hit with topspin the spin sort of slows my ball down so hitting flat gives me the most power albeit a lot more risky. Looking at players 80 years old and more it seems that this eventually turns to backspin as it requires so little energy with the open racquet face doing most of the work to getting the ball over the net. Also in this video I would think one could get more height on the ball if the contact point was higher (should level) instead of waist level or below. Was waiting or hoping for a final rally of heavy topspin vs., heavy topspin which I suppose would be the last stage of testing this technique. Otherwise clear explanation as usual with many useful drills.

1 handed backhand is so useless

This was the first video I found with practical scenarios - like a hard fast low ball, short cross, loop etc v practical and helpful bravo 👏👏🎉

Throughly enjoyed this video, so informative with easy to follow but yet highly technical drills. I hope the people I play against don’t watch your videos because they will begin to get better at tennis very fast 😂

Is double net height too high?

Thanks great explanation.

Hi, Tomaz! Just curious. What tennis racket are you using in this video?

What would you say is the power level of a typical heavy ball swing? What ratio of swinging a weight vs tool (using your concepts) would you say a typical heavy ball swing is?

Thanks, Tomaz

Been waiting this for a while and it's as I expected. The forehand at 20:27 and the backhand at 20:31 are my dream shot and I see the hardwork required just to be able to produce them. I can only imagine the fitness level of a pro player that can pull it out consistently in a grueling 3+ hours Grand Slam match. A couple questions that come to mind 1. What about the low balls? I think we can hit a heavy shot from low ball but only with harder leg work. 2. I also think that some spin frames and strings from well known manufacturers will also be some help in producing a heavy shot, but only if our technique has been sound.

Thanks, Tomaz. I have been waiting for this video. I really enjoyed the drills demonstrated ❤

My first... My favourite... Mine & many others Best... Tennis UA-cam tennis Guru... I never will but if I did say a grand slam winners speech... I'd Dedicated Top thanks to Tomasz...

Super thanksssss

I have been anxiously waiting for this video and it was worth the wait. I feel like I’m armed now with this secret weapon!! Left to my own after watching “What is a heavy ball?” I was trying to apply it without picking and choosing the appropriate time. Now I have it all drills and picking the appropriate time. Awesome 👏 😎

GREAT TOMAZ

One your greatest Tomaz. Keep improving our tennis please.😊

Tomaz, Love this side by side videos! Helps show the differences. It actually shows how little the differences between the shots are and like you have said in previous videos, how important balance/loading/stability in lower body is so you effect these small differences. Thanks again.

Thanx a lot...

탑스핀 속도 높이 선별적으로 연습. 선수들은 익숙하기 때문에 수없이 가능하나 동호인들은 선별적으로 호흡 연습과 더블어 선별적으로…

Very informative and a really good way of seeing how the whole body moves

I had no idea till I recorded myself hitting a forehand that I was collapsing my non dominant arm. Only then did I realize that was the action causing all my confusion on what to do after making contact with the ball. This video just tied everything together and it was so eloquently explained!!

Do a video for the 2 handed backhand

A good drill during warm-up is to actually let the ball bounce twice before hitting it. This allows us to learn what a ball does on a tennis court, and also allows us to learn the relaxed feel of a lower contact point. Great video!

Great orientation. 👍🏻

your lessons are pure gold! ;)

The "slope tip" made something click for me. I could never seem to get my lower body properly engaged in the strock, I think you have showed me the way forward! Huge thanks!

Will do!

hmmmm, i will just go top spin , speed and height. ez pee zee
