Feeling in the Forehand

Strokes

James Hoarden Asked 11 years ago

Hi Sirs,

I have played tt for nearly 2 years now and came across this website and the videos are pretty helpful. I have this problem in my forehand loop; the feeling in it comes and goes. One month, my forehand is very good and the next thing I know is that I have no touch left in it. Why does this happen?

Hi James,

As you are going through your development this will tend to happen. Progress is not a straight line up. There are always ups and downs.

Keep training consistently and you will improve in the long run. When you don't feel right, slow down and get the feeling of the ball.
