TopSpin Forehand
How should I put more topspin and depth and height on my forehand shots, I want to get it more consistent and practice putting more power on them.
Hi Stefo,
Improving the topspin, depth, and consistency of your forehand shots involves a combination of technical adjustments, practice drills, and physical conditioning. Here are some tips to help you enhance your forehand:
1. Grip:
Use a semi-western or western grip. This grip naturally promotes more topspin.
2. Stance and Body Position:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Use an open stance for a more dynamic shot.
Rotate your hips and shoulders as you prepare to hit the ball.
3. Swing Path:
Start your swing low and finish high. This motion encourages topspin.
Brush up the back of the ball with a slightly closed racket face.
4. Follow Through:
Finish your stroke with a high follow-through over your shoulder.
Ensure your weight transfers forward.
5. Use Your Legs:
Bend your knees and use your legs to generate power.
Push off with your back foot during your shot.
Hope this helps.
