How correct tennis forehand? that in your mind?
Okay,
This question is often on the minds of beginner players and not many players who've played tennis often ask about it. Based on
my experience playing tennis I can say, "There is no right and wrong in
hitting forehand". why? Okay I will explain below.
How correct tennis forehand - If you are trained by
a coach, the tennis coaches often say your racquet head must be closed! when your racquet contact with the ball, the head of racquet must be closed! . That is not true but not wrong too, so the question " what do you want from the forehand?" you want to hit forehand, to hit forehand spin , or to hit forehand slice. Beginner tennis always think how hit forehand spin. Then when they hit ball, the ball is not over the net. They always hit the ball with same way, but the ball not over the net. That is the problem number 1 to resolved.

How correct tennis forehand - Next, for player who use forehand with the open head racquet, the head straigh and little bit open. They can hit the ball with easy to the ball over the net, but they often make the ball out of field. That the problem number 2 to resolved.

| head little bit open |
How correct tennis forehand - Now we have 2 problem to resolved. As I said at beginning " There is no right and wrong in hitting the ball ". Hit the ball with closed head racquet is right, hitting with the open head racquet is right too. The important is what the goal of hitting that ball!. If we want to hitting the ball just for over the net not to spin and powerfull, we can use forehand with head of racquet little bit open. When we hit the ball, at the contact with ball the head racquet little bit open not use the full power to hit the ball because if you hit with full power but your head of racquet is little bit open, that make the ball out of field. That formula for beginner, don't think make the powerfull forehand but feel the ball and the stoke is more important for beginner tennis.
see this, don't think must be clossed head racquet . Think goal of the stroke!

How correct tennis forehand - The question for begginer to intermediate player, how I improve my tennis forehand. For the beginner who can feel how use power for over then net and how to make ball not out use the open head racquet, they can improve their stroke to next level. Next level is the spin and powerfull forehand, one of the key of the next level stroke is the closed head racquet. Factors that determine the success of stroke is friction with the ball. For spin we must hit the ball from low to high, the coach often lesson the forehand spin and for beginner that make their think playing tennis is difficult. Feel enjoy the tennis with the open head racquet, and improve with the closed head racquet. This link for more about tennis spin click here .
That I got from my experience, i hope can help you to make easy tennis and enjoy tennis. I wait your share at comment.
