If you find yourself unable to stand still for a second at the end of the shot, get lower and swing slower. Learn to wait for the ball and realize that you have much more time to hit the perfect shot. With a good, balanced and rhythmic stroke you will be able to develop more confidence in the forehand, and hopefully you will be able to then execute the shots in the pressure situations of your matches. Keswick Club Ground Strokes are the meat and potatoes of every players game, especially when playing singles. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, consistency, control and placement are the 3 most important elements for your game.
Consistency comes from a consistent, fluid motion of the racquet.
Work on the same starting point and finishing point with your swing. Ideally, the racquet should move low to high, keeping the head perpendicular to the ground. Control comes from being able to move into position with poise and balance to execute the stroke. Add power through smoothly accelerating the head of the racquet and transferring your weight at the right time. Excel at CCP and I guarantee your game will escalate.
