Tennis forehand is the fundamental move in tennis. In this case we will talk about top spin. Hitting a tennis forehand is crucial, because it will be your main weapon in rally. It is also most likely the first move you learn when you start tennis. Since this is so important, there are people who neglect the training after thinking they are good enough with the forehand. But this is a grave mistake as tennis forehand is the basic. Let us think about it, how are you going to improve if you do not master the basic?
So this article will share with you some tips on how to overcome challenges in mastering your tennis forehand:
*I miss the ball or it does not hit on the sweet spot
There are several reasons for this:
1. If you miss the ball often, then you need to look at the ball first. What I mean is when your opponent hit the ball; observe where he is hitting and where the ball is going to bounce. After that you can have a better placement of yourself.
2. Do not swing too hard. Some beginners tend to do this because they want more power in their shot. Well, nothing wrong with that, but usually beginners have not built the habit of hitting tennis forehand. So by focusing on power, they do not focus on their swing. In this case you should just swing your tennis forehand without power.
3. If you have trouble in aiming your forehand, then you can try to point the ball using your off hand. This will help you to have a sense of where you should hit the ball.
4. Pull your racket behind before you hit and do it as soon as you know that you are going to use your forehand to hit the ball. This is pretty straight forward, but some people tend to forget it which results in late preparation to hit the ball.
*The ball fly too high
Most of the time is because you do not swing properly or you are not using the right grip for your tennis forehand. If you ever play badminton, you will see that the racket is facing up when you hit and that is why the cock fly upwards. If you do not use the right grip, then your racket might be facing upward. Your point of contact with the ball also have some effect, you might be too late or too early hitting the ball.
*Not enough spin
If you want to have more spin for your tennis forehand, then the easiest way to add it is by changing your grip. The western grip will give you more top spin, but usually most people use eastern grip because it is easy to use.
So here are some ways to improve your tennis forehand. It is not that hard to improve your swing once you know what your weakness. All that left is for you to start your training properly.
