Forehand variations

JinMeng Lai Asked 12 years ago

Hi for this video, could you briefly explain to me the technical difference between what the player in orange and black was doing at the 30s and 45s mark? There is a visible difference definitely, but I would like to know more on the main technical difference in execution. Is the 30s mark a forehand drive and the 45s mark, a forehand loop? Many thanks.

They are just slightly different versions of a forehand.  The second has a bit more topspin the first is a counterhit.  YOu should look at the lessons on these two strokes in our free lessons.
