Hi guys! Here is another informative article which I like to share with you. This will also help you avoid the dreaded tennis elbow. Cheers to all
Probably the most common error club players make when hitting the forehand is not following through enough. The racquet is generally stopped shortly after it hits the ball, and the ball, with no spin to guide it, frequently soars up, up and away into the backstop.
There is a simple way to correct this problem. To ensure proper form in the follow-through, you have to bring your arm sufficiently forward after contact so that its upper part forms at least a 90 degree angle with the upper body. Virtually all good forehand hitters, professionals and juniors alike, get the elbow way forward during the follow-through-toward the direction in which they've hit the ball.
Some players, to put more topspin into their forehands, will finish their forehand stroke with the racquet head well above the head. Other players with good forehands finish with the racquet and racquet handle all the way past the left shoulder. In both cases, the basic rule stays the same: the upper part of the arm must always be raised so that it forms at least a 90 degree angle with the body.
