🎾 Physics of the Modern Forehand | Prodigy Maker Show Ep. 94 🎾What makes the modern forehand such a powerful and efficient weapon in today’s game?In Episode 94 of the Prodigy Maker Show, Coach Chris Lewit explores the physics and biomechanics behind the elite modern forehand. This episode focuses on the scientific principles—not drills—that define high-level stroke production in the contemporary era of tennis.🧠 Topics Covered: • How racquet technology has shaped the evolution of the modern forehand • The importance of lag, stretch–shortening cycles, and stored elastic energy • Understanding angular momentum, moment of inertia, and torque • The connection between angular velocity and linear tip velocity • The role of lever length and radius of rotation in generating power • Why longer levers (arm + racquet) can increase force—but require controlThis is a high-level, no-drill discussion meant for serious players, parents, and coaches who want to decode the modern forehand through the lens of physics.👉 Like, Subscribe, and Comment to join the conversation and support the show.📚 For coaching, camps, and online courses, visit chrislewit.com#tennis #modernforehand #physics #biomechanics #racquettechnology #leverlength #angularmomentum #tennistechnique #chrislewit #ProdigyMaker #momentofinertia #tennisscience
