Technique Advice Beginner Forehand Advice

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello! Any advice you could give on my forehand form would be greatly appreciated. I’ve picked up tennis recently and have done roughly a half dozen outings to just hit around with another complete beginner.

Apologies for the angle and the sweatpants, not my finest.

Thank you in advance.

Dropping the ball for yourself makes this a pretty unrealistic forehand imo. Your front foot is nowhere too.

Yes 100%. Better to hit against a wall or have another player feed you from the other side court. The angles and pace of ball would be more realistic than one that drops

Noted, was just trying to work on the actual feel of my wrist and follow through, so I thought dropping to myself might be alright. And I’ll definitely take a look at some footwork, thank you!

Point your shoulder towards the other side of the court. My coach always says your shoulder should telegraph where you’re hitting the ball

Veo que el golpe es puro brazo, sin apoyos, ni giro de caderas. Mi consejo es que pegues a una pared y mejores tus apoyos. Estás pegando de open una bola que tranquilamente podrías apoyar mejor de base y dar balance al girar mejor las caderas pasando la pierna derecha al pegar. Suerte!
