Developing a World Class Forehand

Key Points

• The outside foot and racket should be synchronized, setting up together simultaneously
• Work on using the ground for power and sit on your back leg
• Hold the non-dominant arm while you sit into the shot
• An L shape with the racket and forearm allows for a more stable wrist at impact and a more powerful shot
• Your elbow should come through the shot, like you're punching someone in the face with your elbow
• Hold the finish up and around
• This allows you to hold the ball on your racket longer so you can use more body into the shot
• Rotate the right leg forward as the elbow comes through to help with momentum through the shot and recovery to the next ball
