Hi Amekun,

To develop more power on the forehand you use a combination of forces.  Your arm is the starter and finisher but you can also use your legs, waist and wrist to help you.  We have filmed a lesson on this which will be out shortly.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
