Reverse Open Stance (Fore & Step)

The video explains a tennis technique called the “Reverse Open Stance” within the Fore & Step concept, focusing on when it’s used and its advantages for the forehand.

What it is / When it’s used

The Reverse Open Stance is used when the right foot moves forward more than the other foot. The presenter contrasts it with a more regular open stance, noting that it changes both how you strike and how you transition after contact.

Key advantages

  1. Faster recovery (less delay)
    • With a regular open stance, hitting cross shots often forces a cross step, which can delay the recovery step.
    • With the Reverse Open Stance, you can move without that cross step, so recovery is much faster.

The presenter says this is especially useful for:

  - **Approach shots** where you **move back out** rather than rushing to the net
  - **Difficult shots** where you need to **return to the baseline/face line**

They also mention that player “Dal” uses it a lot.

  1. Better shot direction and power The stance makes it easier to hit when your body/upper body is positioned in a more open direction. The presenter emphasizes:

    • You can contact the ball more forward, helping generate more power
    • It can also help add more angle
    • Because recovery is faster, the technique supports repeated attacking patterns

Important technique detail

The video stresses that you must perform the shoulder turn properly. Simply “holding” the stance and swinging without the right turn produces little power.

Power comes from:

  • Core twist, then
  • Release through the swing

In other words, power is not just “at the wrist”—it’s generated from body rotation, enabling stronger impact and more spin.

Demonstration concept (as described)

The presenter demonstrates that using the Reverse Open Stance and the right “rest/ready” feeling leads to quicker recovery compared with a more suppressed “claw stance” style, where recovery becomes slower and opponents can attack more easily.
