I need help and I can’t afford tennis lessons. For those of you that are tennis pros or experts, what should I work on fixing my forehand?
try to hit the ball …
try to hit the ball on the top of the rise after it bounces not when it is going down the arc after it bounces. That way you are able to get the ball over the net easier. Also, you seem to be staying around the base line even for short balls, get into the action and run for the ball and then get into ready position.
Spread the legs …
Spread the legs wider to increase the core strength. Judge the incoming ball better b/c in the video you get jammed all the time, that’s why you mishit! Get the racquet more below the ball and brush up with racquethead acceleration. Good lcuk!
1. Put more weight …
1. Put more weight into the ball by transferring the weight. Spread the lags a little wider to enhance the base and to “load up and hit from the core.”
2. Don’t guide the ball, swing at it.
3. Keep your head still and down at and after contact. Don’t jerk it up after contact and see where the ball goes.
you can go to …
you can go to fuzzyyellowballs . com there they have loads of free tennis lessons and you can practice with a partner or a machine no need for coaches hope this helps
Hey man,
Try to …
Hey man,
Try to hit the ball using your rackets sweet spot.
And bend your knees so your at waist height with the ball at contact.
id say dat footwork …
id say dat footwork comes in playing but needs work.
for your strokes, you seem to be brushing up to much at times, work on ur follow through and swing across and when u practice with a ball machine keep a slow steady swing and rlly eye the ball with the sweet spot of the racket
Actually, that’s …
Actually, that’s the beauty of the YMCA– the tennis machine is free! I love the YMCA.
footwork is the …
footwork is the main cause of good and bad strokes try stepping in with your left for in the time of impact.
just give up!!!
…
just give up!!!
you cant affor tennis lessons but you can afford a tennis machine
Move your feet. Be …
Move your feet. Be in ready position before the ball is over the net. Sometimes you take your eye off the ball and look where its going to go too early. Try to make the forehand contact point in front of you and follow through on the shot. Its not so much about the racket follow through but rather you moving through the shot instead of being off balance. You typically want to be moving foreward.
Im no pro either …
Im no pro either but I play tennis quite a bit. As stated your footwork isn’t there. It seems like you are never ready for the ball. Also make sure your grip is correct (cant tell from video). Last big thing is you want to hit through the ball with the contact point just in front of you. Sometimes it seems like your hitting the ball and moving away from it. At 50-57 you hit a couple nice forehands. Contact point out in front, good feet, good follow through.You have the skill just move your feet!
Those are good tips …
Those are good tips; I’ll try them. Thanks!
Well.. I’m not a …
Well.. I’m not a tennis pro,
But one thing that I noticed is that you aren’t moving your feet enough so that results in a lot of mishits.
Another thing is that in some shots you’re hitting the ball with an open racquet face, so the balls will probably fly out.
Lastly, you need to watch the ball more so that it makes proper contact with the center of your racquet head.
Greetings, I love your blog. This is a nice site and I wanted to post a little note to let you know, nice job! Thanks MiMi
