Hi Ivann,

You could try relaxing your hand, wrist and forearm.  To be able to play a full topspin stroke you need to allow your arm to come through fully which is difficult with a tight hand.

Start by focusing on the bat getting through to the finish position.  THen try to get it there with less effort.

Let me know how it goes.

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.
