Practice the forehand grip in tennis
Tennis is an ideal sport for young and old. A tactically well-played game does not require excessive effort. Tennis promotes body and mind at the same time. The white sport has lost none of its popularity. With practiced technique, you will still be astonished at an advanced age with a drive from the right forehand grip.
Ball sports and posture
Tennis is a sport with a ball and racket. Hence, if you are to play successfully, you will need to practice technical skills. Otherwise your balls will even land a hundred meters away. You can quickly learn to prevent this. With the correct posture and stick control, the ball stays in play.
- Never stand stiffly in the field. With your legs slightly bent and rocking on the balls of your feet, you are able to adjust to the incoming ball. Now take the first ball and shoot it against a wall as an exercise. Your eye is always on the ball you are aiming for. A stone wall is ideal for the first exercises. Tennis clubs have one. The tennis net is indicated with a line on the wall. The flight of the ball is not important in the first few exercises.
- When the ball comes back to you, stand so that it passes you sideways. Focus on hitting the ball whenever it flies to the side of you at chest level. Your body should be slightly bent forward when you hit with the forehand grip.
- The hitting arm with the club is slightly angled when hitting and will swing back a long way before the hitting. Do not move your arm up and down, always reach out horizontally.
- If you are right-handed, your body weight is on your left leg. During the swing, your right arm goes far back and you upper body Something rotates as a result. When you hit the ball, you hit the ball when it flies almost exactly to your side at chest height. You have to practice this posture over and over until it becomes a routine.
Tennis is the most popular game of the return game genre. Do you train ...
The drive in tennis
The forehand can be played with more force and can drive the ball faster. The drive, a ball with a little spin to make the ball bounce high, brings the opponent in distress. A forehand grip is the best way to play this.
- To do this, you hold the club firmly in your hand, almost by the end of the handle. The flat side of the club faces the opposing field. Rotate the club a little forward in your hand so that it has a slight incline.
- Now hit with the forehand as usual. You will notice that the trajectory of the ball is curved in tennis and bounces off very high again after it hits the ground. In order not to overplay the net too high, practice the stroke with this forehand grip.
If you hit the ball with the practiced posture it is a very offensive ball that can be played hard. Because of the arc flight, the ball hits the ground sooner than you think, so you can hit very hard.
The forehand grip as a slice
- The slice is played for balls that should fall just behind the net and no longer bounce off far. To do this, turn the racket handle backwards in your hand. This causes the ball to be undercut. Practice this on the wall once.
- The next attempt after that is on an open tennis court. After the impact on the field, the ball with the slice will only rise slightly back into the air and will describe a flat trajectory. If the spin is severely cut, the ball can even move backwards.
If you think of an opponent, you will see that such balls are difficult to run. You should now do a few practice strokes. Seeing you, this forces the opponent to move quickly towards the ball, as it barely rises. You play this ball to lure your opponent to the net. The harder you play this forehand grip while playing tennis, the longer the flat trajectory and the ball will hardly move upwards in the end.
