Grip Tension
The first tip to improving your forehand is grip tension and how the hand feels on the racket. A lot of club players play with tension that can cause tennis elbow and stiffer shots. Feel the weight of your racket head to help improve your grip tension. Make sure your hand is at the bottom of the handle and at the bottom of the racket. Use the non-dominant hand to hold the racket in ready position, when you let go of the racket to hit your forehand you will play with the tension you had in your ready position. Playing with less tension allows your shots to be more fluid.
Swing path- Low to high?
Tip number 2 is all about the swing path on the forehand. Should we hit “low to high?” Low to high means hitting through the ball rather than hitting “up” the ball. Soften the racket head to allow it to drop below the ball, then let it rise up to join the hand. The racket should go below the contact not the hand below contact. The internal rotation of the shoulder allows you to play “low to high.”
Extension through the contact
Tip number 3 to gain power and control on the forehand is to be intent on driving through the ball and extending beyond the contact point. This also comes through the rotation of the shoulder. Hold your finish at your extension when practicing this. When you extend and do NOT finish, the ball WILL make it over the net. When you extend the ball has already left and the follow-through happens after naturally.
Bonus tip- windshield wiper forehand
If you have a soft hand when dropping your forehand, it will create the illusion of having a windshield wiper forehand. This movement ALSO comes from the shoulder, don’t feel like you’re doing too much with the hand or from the elbow.
