Lesson 1
Forehand
Alexandr Kochkin
The forehand is one of the most formidable weapons of any tennis player. And I recommend learning the forehand technique piece by piece, starting with the end of the stroke.
Exercise 1. Basic exercise for the general pattern of a forehand.
Exercise 2. Our forehand and backhand start from the feet. The kinetic chain starts from the bottom up.
Exercise 3. It is better to start studying the forehand from the end of the hit. Let's consider what happens to the hand and the racket at the moment of the meeting with the ball.
Exercise 4. Another basic task that helps to feel what pronation is.
Exercise 5. We hit the ball, focusing only on the moment the racket meets the ball.
Exercise 6. The progression of the previous pronation tasks helps to begin to feel the length of the court.
Exercise 7. The most important task that helps to bring the racket to the ball at the right angle.
Exercise 8. Progression of the previous exercise to carry the racket to the ball.
Exercise 9. Learning to take away and accelerate the racket. In this exercise, I consider the classic backswing. Also foreign where it is called feminine.
Exercise 10. We try to force the kinetic chain, the rotation of the body focusing on the cone in the hand. Exercise helps to get rid of the game with one hand, helps to establish the point of impact.
Exercise 11. Another task that helps and literally forces the player to make a turn of the body when hit (can also be used when practicing a backhand).
Exercise 12. Cable resistance allows the player to better feel his center of gravity and move it forward when hitting (can also be used when practicing a backhand).
Exercise 13. Game task that helps to better turn on the kinetic chain. In addition, the reverse cross can be a serious advantage for any player.
Exercise 14. The task allows you to adjust the optimal point of impact. Pressed elbows often cause balls to pass for themselves (can also be used when practicing a backhand).
Exercise 15. Aimed at developing a sense of the center of gravity on the front, shock leg (can also be used when practicing a backhand).
Exercise 16. Theoretical part, which will help you understand what the left hand should do when moving towards the ball, before hitting and during hitting.
Exercise 17. Continuation of the previous exercise. We analyze from which foot you need to start moving towards the ball (it can also be used when practicing a backhand).
Exercise 18. An exercise that develops the accuracy of your forehand.
Exercise 19. We show how to set the direction of the ball by turning the body before hitting (it can also be used when practicing a backhand).
Exercise 20. We pass forward after hit (it can also be used when practicing a backhand).
Exercise 21. Nuances with the position of the racket during an attack. Lifehack on how to increase the accuracy of hitting in attacking blows.
Exercise 22. An effective drill to help the player move forward after a hit.
Exercise 23. Track the position of the racket at the end of the hit.
Exercise 24. A skill that will help you get into the court more often in length.
Exercise 25. Finishing a kick makes your hits even more stable (can also be used when practicing a backhand).
Exercise 26. We train stability (it can also be used when practicing a backhand).
Exercise 27. In modern tennis, most of the strikes are made from open and semi-open stances. In addition, according to my personal observations, playing in an open stance improves body rotation and the work of the kinetic chain when striking in a neutral stance.
Exercise 28. Technical mistakes that I encountered in training with my students and periodically meet with players in competitions. These mistakes limit the further growth of the player.
If you've completed this lesson, move on to the next one. You can repeat the exercises to reinforce the material. Good luck on the court!
