Modern Forehand With Grip Theory

Driving the Hips Forward as You Lay The Racket Back + Inside-Out Forehand Footwork

Key Points

  • Take the racket back with both hands and keep it on the same side as the ball
  • Leaving the hand on the throat of the racket on the take-back, helps rotate and load the shoulder and changes the grip
  • Semi-open stance, pushing down and driving up with the right leg
  • As you drive your hip forward, the racket lays back; Once you stop driving the hips, the racket fires through
  • The off-forehand and inside-in forehand allow you to cover 75% of the court with your one strong shot
  • When moving to these forehands, the first step is bringing the back foot behind you
  • Drive the legs, hip and hands through &: "Legs, Hip, Hands"
