Brett’s Forehands - Beware with the new weapon in town!

 This is your Forehands Brett.  From the first shots we’ve noticed how your right elbow was so tucked in to the body. You’re improved that in less than 10 minutes and your shots at the end looked so much better. Great improvement!


01: First Forehand of the day: 

The loading of the shoulders only got to 90 degrees to the net, almost perpendicular ðŸ˜ģ

Very Good wide open Stance 😀😀

Good grip 😅

Solid wrist at contact 👌👌

Late preparation on the bounce of the ball.  ðŸ˜Đ

Right elbow very low on the loading and turn of the shoulders 😎

Right elbow very low and extremely tucked into the body at contact and follow through which causes very limited extension on the follow through ðŸĪŠ






02;Second Forehand

You’ve improved your rotation! Your shoulders have turned more than perpendicular to the net!!👋👋

Although the ball didn’t go over the net you seem to have more acceleration through the ball 👍

Stance is ok, but  bit close to the ball. ðŸŦĪ

Left hand across is even closer to the body than on the first shot 🙄

Much better shot overall! 😀




03: Third Forehand:


Pointing your index index finger on the grip ðŸ˜ĐðŸ˜ĐðŸŦĢ

Less rotation than on the second shot ☹️

 Very late preparation on the bounce ðŸĪŊ

Left hand is more across the body 😇

Right elbow is a bit less tucked in to the body. 😅

Contact more in front of the body ☺️

Shot number 2 still the best one.




004: forehand number 4


No pointing with the index finger please Brett ðŸŦĢ

Great preparation!! Notice how you’ve prepared Better on the bounce of the ball! 🏆

Rotation not as good as the second shot but acceptable. 😊

Right elbow high on preparation 🙂

Left hand more across the body 😁

Right elbow still tucked in at contact ðŸ˜Ē

Great acceleration through the ball. Better extension and wind screen wiper! ðŸ”Ĩ

Best forehand! 💎 





Shots number 5 and 6:


The index finger is not pointing anymore!! 👍👍😁

Right elbow high on the load of the shoulders 👍

Good Shots Brett ðŸ”ĨðŸ”Ĩ







Shot number 7:

Fixed index finger on the right hand! 😋
Rotation could be better 🧐
Left hand across the body is further out 👍👍
Right elbow is still tucked in 😏
You’ve opened the racquet head on contact and that’s why the ball went up to the sky ðŸĪ­
You can even catch the racquet up with your left hand on the finish position 👌👋👋
Overall a very good swing,






Shot number 8,9 and 10

Right elbow Up,, earlier preparation, better index finger on the grip, contact in front, catching the racquet at the end. 

Much better shots!  It’s starting to look easier! ðŸ”ĨðŸ”Ĩ







Shot number 11

Another great shot! That one looked much more relaxed!! 😇😇 Your body seemed more balanced as you’re hitting the ball. 🏆🏆 

Still work in progress, but it’s getting hotter and hotter.

Check now your first forehand and compare it with your last one! It’s a huge improvement 😋😋

 Great forehands Brett ðŸ”ĨðŸ”ĨðŸ”Ĩ
