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"
