Are you ready to do some serious work on your own?
If so this coursework is designed expressly for you!
Mastering the Forehand is an extensive, detailed, and all-inclusive online course – covering all aspects of the one and two handed backhand.
I believe the math is fairly easy – 10 lessons = $1050 – truly! But that’s not even close to what you would have to pay for this coursework. This course is only $97. If you are ready, then click on the button below, otherwise, read on to see what else is included.
OK, so what’s included?
Mastering the Forehand is divided into the following modules
Everything is laid out in a systematic and easy to follow template
Introduction
We start with an overview and then review the basics, cover forehands then and now, followed by reviewing key sequential positions. We also have step by step photos of the modern forehand.
Nuts and Bolts
We cover the basics including Grips, Stance, Lagging, Squaring Up, & Blocking the Ball. Then we focus on the Whip (Federer), Double Bend Forehand (Djokovic), Inside Out, Reverse Finish (Rafa), Third Ball Attack (Del Potro) & Sidespin Approach
On Court Demos
We have both front and rear views combined with regular and slow motion speeds covering the Basic Forehand, Federer Whip, Del Potro Up and Away and finish with the Fade – Up the Line Sidespin Approach
Professional Styles
Here we take a close look at how the pros do it including Juan Martin Del Potro, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Fabrice Santoro & Pancho Segura (two handed forehands).
Wrap Up
Starting with a proven Checklist we also go over the Running Forehand (think Sampras) and the Tweener (watch Roger – but be careful on this shot)
Bonuses
One of the bonuses in this coursework is your opportunity for a personal review – all it takes is a video of your forehand – and I will redirect you into those areas within the coursework that address your own forehand.
In this course you will learn how to...
- Clearly see and feel how the modern forehand is almost opposite to the classic version
- Discover how posture and balance helps you watch the ball
- See how children playing “crack the whip” will unlock the feel of loose effortless power
- Learn when how and why to simply block the ball – it will not always be about offense
- Why if running around your backhand – you must master this particular shot
- How to play the sitting ducks from inside the baseline
- Study detailed on court demos – front and rear angles, regular and slow motion speeds
- Pick your poison – study Roger, Rafa, Juan Martin, Novak and Andy
- How when and why to be dangerous when running to the forehand corner
- Use our checklist to examine your own forehand
- Receive your own personalized review of your forehand
- Master your forehand – play better tennis –the modern forehand is truly a weapon – make one of your own!
Easily find what you re looking for…
This is an all inclusive course, organized in a systematic fashion.
Also, you can search the entire course for relevant material – For example, you can search for the phrase “drop shot” and find all the relevant lessons – all accessible using the search box.
To sweeten the pot I am also going to include a personalized stroke review valued at $97!
A Personalized Stroke Review with Structured Feedback
Not only am I throwing in a regular stroke review with the course but I am tossing in a second one as well. You get two. This is where I personally review your forehand and provide detailed structured feedback with the exact exercises, highlighted sequential elements and specific articles within the coursework – completely tailored to your needs.
Why do I think this is important? On its own, the coursework will substantially improve your forehand. And there is more than enough material here to investigate and master over a course of months if not years.
But when coupled with your own personal swing analysis – you have a roadmap showing you where to go, and a blueprint for how to do it.
The key is to be able to see your forehand, and compare it with the material in the coursework. You can certainly have your partner or local pro do the visual analysis.
If you know what your forehand is lacking, you can certainly jump into the coursework. And if you have a partner or your local pro who can give you pointers on what they see you can use that insight to explore the exercises, elements and articles.
But here’s the deal – if you want my swing analysis you must take me up on this within 6 months of your purchase date.
For two reasons.
- This is the best way for you to improve your forehand, so I want incent you to get working straight away.
- My accountant said I have to have some limit – and 6 months is more than enough!!
It’s real simple to do
Take a short video of your serve and send it in. We’ve provided simple step-by-step instructions, along with tutorials and even recommend a digital camera if you don’t have one.
It takes just a minute or two to shoot the video and less than a minute to upload it. EASY.
Once received, I personally review your serve and provide you with structured feedback.
That’s it!

Michael Jessup, formerly ATP ranked 300
What has amazed me the most is the pace you can get with no effort. By concentrating on your building blocks and keeping it smooth, I find my posture is better and my head quieter resulting in my staying with the shot longer through impact. It’s really a delicious sensation. Thanks for the great advice.
John Thompson, Augusta, GA
You’ve proven that it is possible to use internet learning to teach tennis in such a careful, attention-to-detail, three-dimensional way that improvement is possible with the proper amount of ‘study’ and practice. Your approach has broken new ground and set a standard that will not be easy to copy…You’ve given this senior tennis player new skills and a welcome new involvement in the game.
Martin I. Hassner, Upper Saddle River, NJ
Jim has an incredible ability to distill all groundstrokes (FH, BH, slice, drop shots, etc.) into a few set of common principles. It really helps!
