Beginner Tennis: A five star forehand & quick fix when you're in trouble

Regardless the playing level, everyone playing tennis is out to have a good time. That rush happens fast when you hit your first beginner forehand on the sweet spot and it lands in the opposite court. That 1st time is like noooo other! YOU WILL come back for more. But to do it again you’ll need to improve your beginner forehand to get into your first tennis rally. I love teaching the forehand & fixing adults on day 1 of an adult camp. Sets a terrific tone & energy for players to quickly see improvements to the #1 fan favorite shot in tennis, the forehand.

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.
