In this session, Coach Ben walks players through a forehand refresher focused on cleaning up technique and building more consistent, repeatable mechanics.

This video is designed for beginner to intermediate players who feel inconsistent on their forehand, struggle to generate topspin, or rely too much on their arm instead of using their body.

Coach Ben breaks the stroke down into simple pieces so players can slow things down, build better habits, and develop a more reliable swing they can trust during matches.

🎾 What You’ll Learn:
How to use a relaxed shoulder turn to start the swing
How to create topspin through proper racket rotation
Why contact should stay in front of your body
How to use hip rotation instead of muscling the ball
The “push then pull” sequence for a smoother forehand
Proper racket set position with elbow up and shoulders relaxed
How to improve balance and spacing with your footwork
Why stepping out first, then forward leads to better stability and control

🎾 Homework:
Try focusing on just one of these keys in your next practice. Comment below with what you chose and whether it worked for you or what you learned.
