Forehand Position Problem

Anthony Hodge Asked 8 years ago

Hi Alois!

When i watch the video on how to do forehand/forehand position, i do as you said in that video and it works well. But when im playing with my friend and im tried to do the forehand position, it didn't work well. I take my arm as you said in the video and the other things you said with the legs and the other things. But when i was trying to do the forehand postion im tried to have my arm as you said but it didn't work because i was too hard with the arm, legs and the other things. So i lost the control and im lost the control every single time i do it.

I dont what i'm going to do.

Please answer to my question, and i would be so happy!

Hi Anthony,

It is good that you have learnt the basic forehand stroke.  Now it is a matter of putting it together with other strokes which is what happens in a game situation.

In training, practice switching between one forehand and one backhand.  Then also do a drill where your training partner is hitting the ball anywhere but slowly.  This will get you used to being able to move from a different position to the forehand position and then play the shot.
