  • Good tips, but that shoe squeak is a killer!

  • @creatress Funny! Gotta keep those feet moving out there...

  • Good video, I just started playing tennis and I don't want to pay for lessons so this helped me a lot. A lot of good info.

  • @xJakex068 Glad to hear you're getting into tennis.

    Head on over to my blog where you'll get a lot of free tips.

  • Hey Brent, I have a question regarding my forehand.

    I am relatively new to this sport so I was learning the forehand. But whenever I make contact, I immediately go up and my balls always land near the baseline and kick up. Despite this, its easy to return my balls. Apparently, my coach told I have too much topspin and not enough drive. Is there something I can do to correct this?

  • @Yvesiscool Without seeing your forehand, kinda tough to throw something out there. Too much top might be from your grip. Are you using an eastern forehand grip?

  • Maybe if you're a top junior or playing in college (which I highly doubt) otherwise, shut up. The guys a pretty accomplished player in the senior tournaments, look up his profile. My guess is you're some 3.0 level club player that has nothing better to do but to try an put people down.

  • I guarantee all of the people talking crap on this guy's forehand either A) can barely play the game or B) would get destroyed by him in a match.

  • @creatress shoe squeak means you are PRO

  • @TennisAnnalyst Yes, on the right incoming ball, the semi is easier, but in my experience, there are more opportunities for an eastern forehand grip than any version of the western unless you're way back behind the baseline.

    I'm primarily a serve & volley, chip and charge players, so that style doesn't work well for always using a semi for the forehand.

  • Great lesson Brent. I learned continental FH at a young age (1 grip game). I converted to eastern FH in the early 90's. Your tips on relaxing hand at contact does the trick in both pace / topspin. Also, the result of not fighting the ball really helps reducing the impact force on your arm and elbow.

    For those who don't believe in this grip, just look at Graf's "real" eastern forehand. One of the best of all time FH. Low to high swing is the key, even on the high ball.

  • man your recent videos are of much better quality. thanks so much for the forehand slice video (:
