Tony's Forehands





Sorry Tony videos are not so great in terms of light. It is always a challenge to record high speed videos at night time.

However it can still help us to understand better how you are striking that ball...

On the moment the ball bounces your body and racket are not quite in position yet. Your left hand should be stretched across the body, your should have a full turn and your body and racket should be ready for the forward swing. You are late, your power position is reached with the ball already close to you and so you have to rush the forward swing. Check my forehand below on the exact moment that the ball is bouncing.



On your forward swing the racket head doesn't seem to come under the height of the ball and the shot lacks topspin. You seem to be hitting the ball a bit too far back for a neutral stance forehand.

  1. Hey

    I have watched tony hit a fair amount of balls when I coach next to Andres court

    I think Tony should prepare in general earlier. I think tony can start to prepare earlier straight away soon as the ball is coming to the forehand. Looks like he is in the turned position when the ball bounces

    try to reach the power position earlier

    the first time you feel your legs set and position when the ball bounces you feel alot of power
