How to Improve a Forehand in Tennis

Video Transcript

"So the best way to improve your forehand would be when you bring your racquet back you're tracking the ball with your racquet. And then what you're doing is you know where your hand is, you don't really know where your strings are or the racquet head so that you're going to hit the ball feeling with your hand and you're to keep your hand on the ball as long as possible. So then on the racquet you're going to bring your racquet back so it's below the ball, wherever the height of the ball is your racquet is always this far below it. Then you're going to step in and you're going to try and hit the ball, make contact out in front and then you're going to finish up to your shoulder. You're going to watch the ball come off your opponent's racquet that way you can read whether it's coming to your forehand or your backhand. Once you determine whether it's your forehand or your backhand you start your back swing then you try and track the ball to the height. You're going to track the ball with your racquet and you're going to bring your racquet back below the ball and you're going to make contact with the ball out in front of you and you're going to finish up to your shoulder."
