The Perfect Beginner Forehand: Swing for the fences!

There’s 3 core strokes every beginner learning how to play tennis needs to learn with confidence. The tennis forehand, backhand and the serve. It's the forehand tennis stroke that’s really fun, gets adults hooked on the game and THE shot you’ll hit more than 70% of your time on court. In my experience teaching tennis to adults on tennis holidays in Mallorca, Spain, I feel players frustration around consistency & power on these 3 important strokes. These 3 tennis strokes use 2 different grips. A forehand eastern or semi-western grip and a continental grip for the backhand AND serve. The frustration from players is right there. Not having more than 1 tennis grip. Without learning with a good degree of competency the continental grip, tennis will be tricky at best to advance your level. Because so much of the game requires using the continental grip. For now let’s stick to the topic at hand - the forehand tennis stroke using the eastern grip.
