However, there are also fundamentals that almost every good forehand uses.
These are the golden rules of the tennis forehand, brought to you by Coach Simon of Top Tennis Training.
Golden Rule One – The ready position. This includes the forehand grip, we recommend the eastern or semi-western tennis forehand grips. For more help with the various forehand grips, check out this lesson here – https://youtu.be/x2HNuIbmpMM
Once you have your forehand grip sorted, the next step is to ensure you’re using the non-hitting hand to hold the throat or top of the grip and you wait in the ready position looking to hit your forehand as often as possible.
Aim to cover 60-70% of the tennis court with your forehand.
Golden Rule Two – Early preparation and a good coil with the upper body. Time is a valuable commodity on the tennis court, and having early preparation will give you extra time to set up properly to hit your tennis forehand. As early as possible, turn the non-hitting shoulder towards the net and stretch the core muscles. This will store energy in the trunk muscles, in particular the obliques.
Golden Rule Three – Creating force over the ball.
