How to Hit a Forehand Like the Pro's

<h1>How to Hit a Forehand Like the Pro's</h1>Author: <a title="Alan B. Davidson" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/alan-b.-davidson/278349.htm">Alan B. Davidson</a> How do they do it? Every single shot, one after the other, perfect height, depth and speed. The short answer is of course they spent the last 15 years hitting hundreds of the shots each day. So it's not very likely that we will be able to wake up one day and know how to hit a forehand like the professionals. But there are some things you can do right now to help improve your forehand straightaway. First of all make sure your stance is firm and well balanced. All the power in your shot should come from your legs and other big muscles in your body. The explosive power that the pro's get comes from explosive rotation in the hips and torso. Most beginners make the mistake of using their arm to swing too much, which is much less powerful and can result in injury if you start playing a lot. So how do you get a good balanced stance? Your legs should be just over shoulder width apart. A good test to see how well balanced you are is to have someone try and push you when your in your forehand stance. If your easily pushed over then you'll want to get lower with your legs and sit down in the position a bit more. Another crucial part of the forehand is of course the swing. You should make contact with the ball just in front of your chest. The back swing should be as fluent and consistent as possible. You might not be able to take down Federer after these tips, but they should help out your tennis straight away.About the Author: If you want some advanced tips that will show you <a href="http://www.learntoplaytennis.info">how to hit a forehand</a> like the pros, click below.
