You guys make forehand shots look so easy in the videos, but it is very hard for me to do them.So any tips so that I can do proper forehand shots?

Hi Maverick,
The trick is to really focus on the path your bat is taking. There is no compromise here. Work really hard at getting the action correct. Do it slowly and do it lots and lots of times. I am talking about thousands here. When you feel the stroje is completely correct you can start to speed up.
Initially focus more on the stroke rather than where the ball is going.
You could try using our <a href="http://www.pingskills.com/analysis.php>Video Analysis</a> section of our site. Then we can take a really good look at your play and help you out.

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:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- 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.
