Forehand variations
Strokes
JinMeng Lai Asked 14 years ago
Hi for this video, could you briefly explain to me the technical difference between what the player in orange and black was doing at the 30s and 45s mark? There is a visible difference definitely, but I would like to know more on the main technical difference in execution. Is the 30s mark a forehand drive and the 45s mark, a forehand loop? Many thanks.

They are just slightly different versions of a forehand. The second has a bit more topspin the first is a counterhit. YOu should look at the lessons on these two strokes in our free lessons.

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:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- 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.
