Maximise your forehand with these 8 practise drills.
Here is a lesson with an advanced tennis player where we are trying to maximise his strength. The lesson involved 7 different drills to achieve this:
Drill 1: Accelerate from the service line - Focus on getting low by having a good knee bend.
Drill 2: Focus on leg drive - Use your knee bend to explode up into the shot.
Drill 3: Carry the back leg through - Hit off a neutral stance and land on your back leg to get good weight of shot.
Drill 4: Punish the Backhand (weakness) - Hit into your opponents weaker side to allow you more opportunities to use your strength.
Drill 5: Angled forehand - Again, set up the point, but this time, by opening the court with an angled forehand. Take off the pace on the ball and add plenty of spin.
Drill 6: Take it on the rise - Take the ball early before it reaches the peak of its bounce to hit heavier forehands and take time away from your opponent.
Drill 7: Racket head speed - Accelerate your swing through contact fast as you physically can.
Drill 8: Abbreviated backswing - Shorten the backswing in order to deal with quicker balls and maintain an offensive court position.
