how to improve my forehand in tennis???

Question

i really have a average forehand but i would like to add more power. should i bend my knees more? or wat

Answer 1

watch the ball
raquet back
hit
follow through(you should almost be choking yourself with your arm. the tip of your elbow should be about 4-5 inches away from your face)

if you want more power, then when getting your raquet back, do a loop motion with your arm (your in ready position, and you bring your raquet up and around). you also have to get close enough to the ball to hit it, but you don't want it straight in front of you. you always want it to the right of you

Answer 2

Jump rope. Learn to alternate your left foot hitting then your right. Find a bench and jump up so that you build strength and power in one leg then switch, Do about 5 sets of ten Do the wall sit to build strength in your thighs, Star run . Start at the service line and then place 6 balls about 10 feet away. Sprint and get on ball at a time , place the balls on tour racket until they have all been retrieved Six times. Run the lines of the court/ Doubles sideline sprint to net crossover step turn like hitting overhead , sidestep back until you hit service line , crossover step until right side then sprint up to net crossover turn go back again in overhead position reach service line shuffle until singles sideline , sprint to net crossover and turn sideways shuffle back to baseline , shuffle to start. Rest do at least 6. Serve and run full speed till the net. Do 30 even if you miss the serve. Jog at least 3 miles a day. Good luck.

Answer 3

more power means using your body as a whole to hit the ball., not just your knees or arms.
less tension on your strings will add power, but lessen control.
get a bigger head sized racquet.
Prince O3 silver can give you all the power out of any other racquet. but its $250... lol.

Answer 4

when you put your hand out don't put it out right in front of you, put it out to the right if your are a righty and to the left if you are a lefty. hit out in front of you and hit under the ball for top spin. make sure that you turn your hips every time you hit the ball. move your feet so you can get to the ball in time that will help a lot.

Answer 5

Bend your knees, and rotate your hips and shoulders and drive into the ball as best as you can. Also remember to step in no matter what.

Answer 6

bend knees and have a lot of upper arm strength and follow thru and use proper technique.... and don't 4get practice
