I need some advice on transfer of weight on FH.

My Transfer of weight is too big an action my right thigh goes way down and actually hurts when i do lots of topspins.Too be honest i have idea how to explain it and all can say is when i see pros it looks so  natural but with myself i feel its a huge effort.

hopefully u get what i mean

Hi Cameron,

It is good to keep your legs low through your stroke.  You don't need to bend and jump all the time.  One of the reasons the pros make it look so easy is that they have extremely strong legs and can hold that low position through their stroke and the full rally.  This is something that you can work on.

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.
