🎾Drop shot of the day🎾Slow down your swing!🎾When executing your two handed backhand,it is actually better to slow down your swing at the time to gain more power!🎾Focus on hitting your backhand clean with proper extension through the ball!🎾Try to feel like you are hitting the ball just like you would be inside of the water and feel resistance of water!🎾Your swing will slow down,but you will not slap at the ball and into to contact point and loose power that way,instead you’ll nicely hit through the ball clean,gaining easy power!🎾Good luck and try!🎾

🎾Drop shot of the day🎾Swinging volley🎾There is a time when swinging on volley is a great choice to use and aggressively finish the point that way!🎾Use swinging volley when you get high,slowly floating ball and you have plenty of time to set up with full swing to accelerate through the ball fully and finish the point!🎾Use open stance or semi open ideally when you load on your outside leg to push off the ground for extra power!🎾Swing through the ball and try to finish your swing around your shoulder high level to make sure not to brush the ball down into the net!🎾Good luck!🎾

🎾Drop shot of the day🎾Keep a distance between your elbow and your body!🎾If it is modern or more of traditional forehand,keeping a space between your elbow and your body in preparation phase and during the swing is the key for proper acceleration through the ball and hitting your forehand efficiently 🎾How far the elbow gets from your body during the swing as well as where contact point is going to be depends on the grip you use,but in any case you need to create a space behind your body in preparation phase of your forehand as well as on the side from your body to be in the best possible position to hit your forehand!🎾You simply need to think of that elbow as the best indicator to be away from your body in preparation phase by lifting it up even all the way to your shoulder level away from your body and then continue swinging your elbow slightly in,down and then away from your body again as you extend through the ball!🎾As I tell one of my friends and clients,(former TOPGUN pilot and instructor)who has a little problem with bringing his elbow to close to his body while executing his forehand,you need that space for your forehand to accelerate through the shot properly and gain power that way as you need space on runway to lift your airplane up in the air😉🎾Anyway,we fixed his too close to his body elbow habit he developed through the years,but you need to be aware and careful with that!🎾You need a space to accelerate!🎾Good luck with your forehands and keep that elbow away from your body!🎾
