Hi Guys

How can I improve my anticipation and readiness for the ball?

Hi Alexandra,

The key is to watch the ball well.  This will give you the best information as quickly as possible to be able to react.  Our Premium members can take a look at this video on Anticipation.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
