Tip of the day

Today’s video emphasizes mastering the forehand topspin drive, especially for those without a racket sports background.

The key is to understand the foundational techniques and swing mechanics.

Power in the shot comes from the ground up, meaning it's about weight transfer from the back foot to the front foot, not just running through the shot or swinging hard with your arm.

Danea introduces drills to practice weight transfer, swing path, and follow-through.

These drills ensure players hit with power, maintain a consistent strike zone, and have a full follow-through.

Key Points:

  • Power comes from weight transfer, not running through the shot.

  • Practice the "Nike swish" motion for an effective swing path.

  • Ensure a full follow-through with the handle pointing towards the target.

  • Use drills to reinforce footwork, positioning, and shot accuracy.

  • A ball machine can be a helpful tool for consistent practice.
