I would need to see your forehand to advise you better, you can reach out to me through the contact form.

First I would look at hip rotation problems since that’s the flaw I correct most: https://www.feeltennis.net/hip-rotation/

To rotate well you need to have good stability so take look at these two topics on balance: https://www.feeltennis.net/balance/ and https://www.feeltennis.net/improving-balance/.

Then I would also look at your contact point, you are likely late if there is no power, check out these two topics: https://www.feeltennis.net/stop-hitting-ball-late/ and https://vimeo.com/384209186

Hi Zac,

The pronation may not be so pronounced here because we are very relaxed but it is there.

It is so automated for me that my forearm always pronates.

I suggest you go through the Pronation Progressions drills in the ServeUnlocked course at least twice a week for a month or so as that will train your forearm to pronate.

If I work with juniors we do pronation drills regularly for about 2 years. 😉

I was working on this drill a little bit with my serve, and I noticed that I felt like I wasn’t pronating. I was able to hit with very little effort, but it felt a little like a “waiter’s serve” or something like that. What I mean is, I felt like I wasn’t approaching the ball with the edge of the racquet at all.

Then I went back to this video and saw that it looks like you’re not really pronating either.

Is this the way it should be? Is there a way to do this drill and practice pronation at the same time?

Thanks! Zac

If you can only think of one thing at a time in the middle of hitting the ball, is it at the 45 or Loading?

thanks

Q

Thanks for sharing, Karl! One tip for big shots: for me personally the difference in power between hitting a neutral rally shot and the “big” shot is about max. 20% more power and I am very very careful not to tighten up but still maintain a smooth stroke.

Hi Bo,

Yes, you could play against the wall but I recommend you are far away enough so that you play on the second bounce which gives you more time and makes you less rushed – which could make you tense.
