Hi Mark,

It may just be a timing problem.  Try to hit the ball at the top of the bounce.  This will give you a better margin of error.  Also slow down the stroke for a while and try to put a little topspin on the ball.  As you get the timing and feel for it you can flatten out the contact and hit it harder.

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.
