Hi Aahel,

We do have a Premium video on this, Curve with Backhand.  It is no trick, it is a matter of getting the mechanics right.  It is easiest if you get the contact a little outside your body to be able to swing through properly.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
