How do i improve my tennis forehand?

Answer 1

The Overhead. It's a shot in tennis that many people flub. They miss it because either a) They try to hit it too hard or b) They are in the wrong position or c) BOTH! Timing is critical so try these two activities to help your Overhead become a winning shot. Work on Overhead timing - Begin at the middle of the service line. Have a partner hit you an overhead shot. Run up and hit the net with your racquet BEFORE you hit the overhead. The catch is that you can only start running towards the net after your opponent hits the ball. Do this drill a few times and you'll work on your fitness level as well! Work on Overhead positioning - Often your opponents will try to hit a passing shot by you while you are at the net. Doubles players may try to sneak a return down the alley, just out of your reach. Step forward towards the ball in a diagonal fashion when your opponent does this. Do not side shuffle because you lose time and won't be able to cover as much tennis court. Begin next to the service line on the outside left alley. Have your partner hit you three volleys. Each volley will make you run farther and farther down the court. After the third volley, your partner will hit you an overhead. Hit the overhead focusing on your foot and body position. Play out the point. Do this exercise 7-10 times. Try these drills to improve your Overhead shot in tennis.

Tip # 1

Whenever you practice, strive to develop your forehand even more. Learn to play short cross court, off forehands (from your backhand corner to opponents backhand corner), flat and top spin shots and top spin lobs.

Also practice being deadly on sitters. See if you can improve your percentage on »easy« balls in the court and become really deadly from there. This puts incredible pressure at your opponent because they start realizing that every short ball will be put away.

Tip # 2

If your forehand is not working well, don't push very hard. Just start very slow and play average shots at deep angles and placing. Once you get some points and your forehand starts working, go for bigger shots and take risks.

Tip # 3

The first step is to accept your forehand as it is. Yes, I know - here it is again. The next step is to realistically evaluate your forehand on a scale from 1 to 10. Where is it? 5? 6? Now here is the crucial question? If you think your forehand is 5 now, how good ones are you trying to hit? 9? 10???

Tip # 4

Play forehands. Don't avoid them, you need repetitions and feel. And don't go for too much first. Check tennis forehand tip #3! Combine both tips for best results. Feel the fear of missing your forehand again and do it anyway.

You can improve your forehand but you need to be 3 P: patient, persistent and positive.

Answer 3

tell your partner to stand near the net. He has to hit to your baseline. You have to return all his shots to the net. Then when you are starting to get used to it, play a game. If your shots go past the service line (in your opponents side), then it is out. If your opponents shots don't go past the line before the base-line then his shots are out. Try to win. It's a fun way to improve your drops

Answer 4

Simple. First make sure that your racket strings are straight. Then step towards the ball while you hammer it really hard. If you can, use topspin. Just start below your waist and finish above it. Think about windshield wipers to help because that's how a topspin looks like.Topspin will help you keep the ball in. Push the ball to the baseline to eliminate easy hits for your opponent so they hit an awkward, ugly shot that's easy to anticipate or smash. If you have good aim or know your opponents weakness then hit it where they are weak, like maybe to the right if they have a bad backhand or forehand. DON'T BE CARELESS WITH YOUR SHOTS OR YOU WILL HIT THE NET. Don't get frustrated when you lose. I used to do this and ended up with a bad leg injury that prevented me from entering a tournament. In fact, it stopped me from playing tennis for 3 months, and I'm still injured. You'll regret it when you lose control, trust me. Have confidence in yourself. -------------------------Blaze731 :)
