Now I'm going into the legs and the body so the power from the legs now you realize that the best best players in the world with the biggest foreheads like I'm gonna give an example again Fernando Gonzales let's let's have it as a major example because suffering is or used to be one of the most evidence for hands on in the game we miss him missing so much to watch what is foreign his what he was doing that with this action with his biomechanics with the likes with the way he was moving. So I'm going to explain a little bit about his forehand Fernandez Gonzales forehand was not just in the race the acceleration of course is part of it is very good at it, but mostly the likes and the body rotation. So we're gonna model more I'm gonna model the session on his forehand model so we're gonna learn from him.
And then also we're gonna learn a little bit more from silage from Belle Paltrow. They are a little bit bigger guys. So they using slide the biomechanics are there of course But they are using more of the knees by mid more because they are really tall so they had to get under the ball. But let's talk about Fernando Gonzales, you realize Fernando Gonzalez is very strong with his legs super strong it is like so this number one thing of course, if you want to have a bigger forehand, you want to start getting stronger also in these parts, which we're gonna go through that fitness exercise later on. So, Fernando Gonzalez forehand, number one thing, of course, the body rotation is there. So he's getting the position, this is just gonna be kind of the one.
I'm not showing you the one in the match. This is just let's say his warm up session. So slow motion. I will also show you some shots of him hitting actual bone. But the most important to me is that the last step is always on the right leg, right foot. And this is again, many of club tennis players just don't use this right now standing on the left at the time of contact point.
I mean, this is okay for the short ball. By the way, transfer always has to come from the back foot from the right leg If you want to have a forehand on the baseline, you will be really on the right leg and then going into the tone, but it's very important that you use this right like to generate the power. Yeah, what I mean with this, so you will step out if the ball is around me, I will step off, and then I'm really going into the ball, but it starts with my right leg, my right knee. So I put all my weight, most of my weight on my right leg, of course, I've got the ball rotation done. I'm on my right leg. This one is just there for the balance.
I'm perfectly balanced at this point. Looking at a ball, I'm in the right position, and then I start releasing it from the right leg. Yeah. So start coming up from the right knee. As you can see, I'm on my toes also. up that starts going up as I starts going up.
I start turning right after going up more or less at the same time I start turning with the heat. So first is the like, you go up to transferring the weight The body the right shoulder comes in body rotation and will be the contact and any finishing. If you finish on your T shirt pointing the other side of the fence the left hand side fantastic that's the result that is done that body rotation and everything the biomechanics correctly. You're not sure you're slow motion and I'm gonna show you some shots when I'm hitting also. Preparations please stop getting the position right an inflatable. Now, it's very important that you start telling the right hip before you hit the ball, lots of players back and they are okay, here they are.
And then they kind of go too late, they go too late, and they bring the racket forward first and then the body. And again, the timing is not there. Yeah. So you want to be on the right leg up on the top of the contact point already did this part. So I'm coming up on the right leg and the right hip, and I start turning the upper part of my body, and of course, the hips right into the ball. So the good thing to remember is I'm bringing the right hip into the ball, and the racket is slightly behind.
This generates again, maximum power. So if you keep your keep your racket here until the very last moment, and you start opening video body first and then the racket comes, you're gonna be generating much more power. Because this allows you to accelerate here and you're going to be much more faultless here. The first body, then racket comes very important. You see every single blog pro will say no, no joke coach right now, same thing, get set up in a position, right shoulder. I mean, right knee, right hip right shoulder, always remember, knee, hip, shoulder, contact me, hip, shoulder contact.
The good thing to remember is on the contact the shoulder is, it's kind of in front of you already here rather than here. So again, lots of pairs that have a shoulder behind their head. On the contact, you want to be already here. So my torso, my T shirt at this moment is pointing the net and right after a minute, I'm completely rotate on the other side. So I'm trying to use the full body rotation. You have to use your hips.
This is the secret number one. I mean, it's not secret, but again, loads of coaches and just lots of gurus they don't even talk about it. They finish that off automatic buy. You'll be surprised how many couples talk to his parents again, just don't use them. Hips properly, don't use the legs properly. You want to take the power from your legs, from the hips from the from the body rotation and of course, for purposes of your arm.
Now, I'm gonna talk about, we're gonna talk about the racket speed now, and why it's important to keep the record
