That set of forehand video instructions is the most detailed, and best, I have reviewed. Rob said it best…he tells you what, how and why and dramatizes the process with memory hints. Very clever…very useful.
One question I have is…how can we progressively practice these techniques using a wall?
I would suggest that you could package this set of modern forehand techniques with some practice drills into an affordable DVD…like you have done with the Serve.
ADMIN: Randy, I appreciate your kind words! Full forehand lesson is now in the Members Area (2 hrs of video) We’re planning on producing a special “Wall Work Out DVD”, a “forgotten art” now. The full 2 hrs on the forehand will be available soon for purchase on DVD. :-)
i used the stuff you talked about in my tennis class today… and damn things were rocking, i should pay you instead…… thanks so much, you really broke it down to the detail…..
ADMIN: Edward, so glad you’re Forehand “is rocking now”!! Cheers!! You Go Man!!
Hat’s out to you coach Kyril, this set of clips has to be the most detailed description of a forehand I’ve ever seen, and I’ve looked at many instruction videos! I also think you should package it to an affordable dvd, Mauro is truly a legend!
ADMIN: Mons, thank you much for your kind words, Forehand DVD available soon :-)
ADMIN: Tien, thank you very much, but there’s no such thing as ‘perfect’. What we are: “user friendly”!! Easy to understand, easy to relate to through previous experiences, and mostly, easy to do!!
The left arm/hands role as it sticks out in front of the body, isn’t it also to act as a counterbalance to the right arm as it goes behind the body in readying to strike the ball?
ADMIN: Howard, no doubt, the arm also helps as a counter-weight for balance!
exceptional,no words for it .mauro is the master of techniches truly a remembarable coach.thanks for it ,truly improved my topspin.rob is also a good player
About the forehand: datails. That’s what Mauro makes you see when you think that you know how to do your movements even when he teached it to you many years ago. And everything became more clear, especially that everythig can change even when you think that can’t. And mkes a hudge difference! Great tips, a time travel, with the benefits of the modernity! Tks!

Les informations et les détails techniques du coach Mauro sur le coup SONT UNE droit d’rares précision! .. MAIS les mettrent en place C’Est UNE !…. Autre Histoire
Excellent video instruction. Never thought that I could improve my fh so dramatically. I’m truly inspired and that’s the best feeling there is…
One thing I’m still struggling with is the High to low flat forehand, when I want to wack a halve court slow ball at warp-speed. It looks more easy to flip yr wrist when stiking down on the ball to add power than when keeping yr wrist cocked. Is this one of the exceptions on keeping yr wrists cocked during the swing on the modern fh? Can you give me some tips?
Outstanding series on the forehand! It’s really helping me to get some topspin (been hitting flat and hard for 35 years)! I do have a question: It seems most of the pro’s and top players are finishing with the windshield wiper ending up at the side of the body with the raquet pointing down, rather than over the shoulder. Is there any advantage to that?

can you make a detail on the basics of serve?
ADMIN: Edward, all main types/kinds of serve (flat, slice & kick) will come after backhands. :-)

Great video! The problem with these videos is the audio – I’ve got my lap top cranked and still have a hard time hearing what Mario is saying.
ADMIN: Preston, thanks, audio problems solved for all next upcoming videos and clips ;-) – Coach Mauro
