Kinetic Chain

The kinetic chain is the ordered transfer of force through the body: legs, hips, trunk, shoulder, arm, racquet. The manuals treat it as a sequence that must be timed, not a pile of parts that all work at once.

Core idea

• The earlier segments create and pass momentum.
• The later segments receive and amplify it.
• The racquet is the final expression, not the origin, of the swing.

Why it matters

A clean kinetic chain turns a tennis stroke into a whole-body event. A broken chain forces the arm to compensate, which reduces power, increases stress, and makes the shot less repeatable.
