Mastering the forehand drive by John Cincola

In today’s video, Pro John Cincola shows exactly how to improve your forehand drive.

He reveals the keys to generating easy power without extensive tennis experience.

John debunks common myths about turning sideways and extending toward the target, explaining that these methods do not effectively enhance power or accuracy.

Instead, John emphasizes the importance of paddle speed as the primary factor for hitting the ball harder and with more spin.

Two key techniques introduced for increasing paddle speed are lag and rotation.

Lag refers to the paddle temporarily lagging due to the body's rotation, which then catches up to produce a faster swing.

Rotation involves swinging the paddle in an arc around the body instead of a linear motion to generate more power naturally.

Key Points:

• Paddle speed is crucial for enhancing power and spin in forehand drives.

• Utilize lag and rotation techniques to increase paddle speed.

• Swing the paddle in an arc around the body rather than in a linear motion.

• Practice focusing on these techniques to develop a more powerful and accurate forehand drive.

• Stay relaxed to achieve the correct lag position and allow the paddle to swing faster.
