Can't do a Forehand Drive properly

Strokes

Hello, I'm a beginner and I'm having trouble in doing a forehand drive because the ball kept hitting the net or outside. And I can't even control the ball to my partner's right side because the ball goes everywhere. My partner also said that I'm doing the Forehand Drive incorrectly because I kept doing a forehand topspin.

Hi Joar,

Focus a lot on the start and finish.  If you feel like you are getting too much topspin, contact the ball slightly flatter and forward.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
