How To Hit Heavy Topspin Forehands (Jannik Sinner Technique Explained)
1. Build up a lot of racket speed with a circular swing
2. Close face prior to hitting and keep it slightly closed during contact
3. Drive up and through for spin and power

Could I send my video for you to analyze?
Heavy ball is generated by throwing your weight and racket freely not racket face down
Awesome – You go this!
I also try to be a bit of a coach in my society. I advise people to have a 90 degree angle between the racquet and forearm to create a lag position
Met Sinner at IW this year. Super humble guy and took his time autographing for everyone there.
One of my favorite forehands 🙂
Interesante
Always love your videos. Thank you for posting them daily.
Could you in a future video explain the trade off between hitting through the ball vs. windshield whipper (bigger contact windows vs. more spin)?
In this video, Sinner's spacing and timing impressed me much more than his swing path.
racket is closed and even though the ball is going upwards.. interesting.. so who is still saying that the ball travels where the strings point? 🙂
Rune’s racket is not tilted down as Sinner but his forehand is as lethal!
I always like his finish where it loops back down over his shoulder I've tried to recreate a similar action bit it doesn't feel natural like his does
How about the angle of the topspin pro?
What program/app are you using to create these angles on video?
I shank a lot when I do this!
Thanks Ryan. I would add that the "heavy" part of the topspin is generated by points you've made in other videos which are: racquet arm elbow back (which helps with the face pointing down) and the lagging of the racquet or IOW angle of the forearm to racquet, which helps increase power and topspin. At time 3:32, you can see Sinner's racquet head is pointing directly behind him, parallel to the ground, and essentially underlining the Emirates Fly Better logo!
Another great video! Thank you
I think Richie Cunningham is going to do big things on tour!
You put out the best instructive videos bar none. I have a question about where his eyes are when he is making contact. I was told you should be focused on the ball. But he appears to be doing what I see most players do, that is, looking peripherally ahead and at the ball at the same time. Could you please comment.
Loose wrists (allowing fast racquet head speed) and amazing timing
0:55 He probably naturally closed his racquet face without knowing, but I think there is a very good chance he knows as he said in multiple interviews that he is actively working on his technique, he also talks a bit about what he has changed.
Does anyone find there non dominant hand interfering with the site of the ball? I tried really rotating during a forehand.
I don’t understand what you mean when you say his closed racket face allows him to hit upward. Cant i have a more open face and still willingly swing upwards?
lost me at play your court. All 5 people that use it
This is quite interesting! Thank you for uploading this video 🙂
Great video🤗👍! Just what I needed as I like a low ball and believe or not I see that I open the face so my balls can fly out. You say you can use the eastern grip to create this swing path. Which grip do you think is best though in relation to this swing path?
This is helpful!
it's great but Federer forehand is better.
as the game move more and more towards spin. the classic game is pretty much over.
trendy forehand! awesome!
I’ve cracked multiple racquets on full commitment forehand’s above the grip below the throat on all the cracks. Those breaks only happen when I’m completely loaded sitting down on my shot with full uncoiling. Personally, hitting the ball from the bottom of your feet and exploding with a hip rotation followed by shoulder rotation are prolly more important for the swing path itself. These pros even in the smallest amount of time get much more coiling than normal people do at this pace of game. It’s unreal.
i have watched alot of videoes to help improve my forhand since i started playing again in sept2022 as a recreational player, almost every videos takes about buttcap front..racket lag…close face…wiper loop ..hitting the ball perpenticular etc…but haven come across one that talks about WHEN to hit the ball and the effect. i have been trying to hit harder and doing all the swing…lag etc and shots have been very inconsistent with many saling to the back fence. until i realised that if i hit the ball on the dip slightly after peaking, i get a much higher success rate in hitting the ball hard and landing it near the back line. tried to find mroe info and there are alot of videos talking about hitting it on the rise. some brush thru on when to hit the ball but none dedicate to talks about hitting it on the dip or at the peak and what happens when hitting on different points on the dip or at the dip. but i thinnk this is one area that will greatly improve success hitting rate than just focusing on HOW to hit the ball.
He doesn’t look at the ball at contact 😮
