The Non-Dominant Arm Position Of A Tennis Forehand Explained

How important is the non-dominant arm when hitting a tennis forehand stroke? As you will learn today the movements of the non-hitting arm on the forehand are actually caused by upper body rotation and firmness and not by the arm itself.

I explain a lot of the details analyzing Grigor Dimitrov's forehand as he demonstrates it beautifully.

Special thanks to ‪@EssentialTennis‬ for letting me use the pro footage for this video.

Correcting the non-hitting arm on the forehand is something I do very often with tennis players who are so focused on the "correct" movement of their hitting arm that they completely let go of the non-dominant side of the body.

But as you will learn today, it is the engagement of the non-dominant side of the body that is necessary for consistent forehands.
