Tip to improve your forehand in tennis – The follow-through starts as soon as the tennis ball has left your racket. Make sure that the tennis racket handle is high on the left side, or right side of you if you are left handed with the butt of the tennis racket facing your opponent. As you hit the ball turn your forearm over as though checking your watch whilst bringing the tennis racket across your body in one fluid, smooth movement. Continue this movement and rotate your upper body, this allows you to decelerate both yourself and the tennis racket smoothly.
