STOP CROWDING YOUR FOREHAND

Are you crowding your forehand?

One of the most overlooked elements of an effective tennis forehand is the relationship between the upper arm and the body.

When the upper arm becomes excessively close to the torso, it can restrict the available movement and make it more difficult to organise an efficient racket swing.

In this video, I demonstrate two simple but highly effective training tricks to help develop better spacing in your forehand.

TRICK 1 – THE TWO-RACKET EXERCISE

By positioning one racket against the other, the second racket provides immediate feedback if your swing becomes too close to your body. It encourages you to maintain the necessary space throughout the movement.

TRICK 2 – THE BALL UNDER THE ARMPIT

Place a tennis ball in your hitting-side armpit and practise your forehand, releasing and throwing the ball forwards as you swing. This encourages a better relationship between the upper arm, shoulder and torso.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

Creating appropriate space allows the upper arm to move more freely, helping to organise the shoulder rotation, racket path and contact position.

The objective is not simply to move the arm away from the body. It is to develop the correct relationship between the arm and torso so that the different components of the kinetic chain can work together efficiently.

Small technical adjustments can make a significant difference to both power and control.
