tennis help?

Question

i need help with my forehand and backhand.....everytime i hit the tennis ball, it goes high...what are some good drills to help me improve my forehand and backhand?

Answer 1

You should check your grip. If your grip is wrong, you may not have enough topspin. Hold the racquet so that the racquet is not tilting up too much. A tilted racquet will cause the ball to fly way up into the air. For backhand, a good idea is to use the eastern backhand grip. If you are a beginner, two-handed backhands are helpful. For forehand, you can try to use the semi-western grip. Semi-western is a grip used by many professional tennis players. Semi-western may be very hard for beginners, but will most likely solve the problem of hitting the ball too high in the air. The grip will also create topspin, bringing the ball down and preventing it from going too high . If you find it difficult to use semi-western grip, try some other grips. Everyone prefers different kinds of gripping styles. There is more than one kind of correct gripping style. Confused about all the names of the grips? Check out the website below for pictures of the grips and their names.
Another thing you should focus on is following through the ball. Make sure you are not chopping at the ball, but hitting from low to high, creating topspin. Always remember to follow through and tap your shoulder with the racquet. Creating topspin is one of the most important parts of a groundstroke. Apply these principles and practice a lot to improve. Tennis takes a lot of practice. Good Luck!

Answer 3

I think this is either because your wrist is turning over on your shot, or your having the wrong grip. To correct the former push the face of your racquet towards the ground on your backswing. This way the racquet will have a vertical face at impact.

2. A good drill for improving the strength of your shots is to put a racquet cover on your racquet and keep swinging. This
Improves the specific muscles for hitting that shot. A fter a while you can add a couple of tennis balls inside the cover to make it harder.

3. You might be using the continental grip. This grip tends to open the face of the racquet. You may want to switch over to the semi-western grip. This grip is the choice of almost all of the worlds top players on the forehand.


Good luck! (=

Answer 4

Always EXTEND (!) through the shot. Using the ball machine, as annoying as it is, is always useful to get the shot down.
Any type of tennis clinic is always a lot of fun and helpful when learning. Taking a lesson or two is good too.

Answer 5

i play tennis to, for your forhand and back hand make a loop then bring your racgut down then swing up on the ball then it will have top spin on it

Answer 6

the ONLY thing that will help that is practice...have a good follow thru and practice....I got great at such by practicing hours on a cinderblock wall with a line (at the net line) painted on it...you can easily overcome this problem with practice.

Answer 7

when you hit the ball make sure that you keep your racket even. stroke the ball remember. step with the oppisite foot. you are prolly leaving your racket head open upwards so the ball lobs up. try keeping it even and stroke it. also bending your knees *slightly* is good. and also step with your oppisite foot you will get more power. good luck!!

Answer 8

Keep your knees bent when you swing. You can also keep the racquet at a downward slant when you swing to add top spin

Answer 9

the net part of your racket should be at the same angle and height as the net in the court. if it goes too high, you're tilting the racket too high
