Advice for my Forehand

[Jinzui]

rite now my forehand is my greatest weapon. the problem is that when im using topspin the ball lands in the middle of the court n then bounces faster, but sumtimes i want to make my shot deep to force the opponent to the baseline away from the net. i cannot reach the baseline without making my shots flat. Note that im at the baseline too. So plz comment on how to make it deeper using fh topspin. Also, hitting it more harder jus creates a more faster spin for me. thx :confused:

Wrong section to post in.
You're supposed to post that kind of question in the Tips/Instruction.

Try a follow through that finishes around your hip instead of over your shoulder. I do that when i try to rip winners with a western grip

Hit the ball higher over the net and drive through the ball more. If you are swinging faster and only making more spin, then that means that you are not driving through the ball enough. What I'm saying is that you don't necessarily need to hit flat to hit through the ball. Hit a forehand topspin drive.

Straighten your arm when you swing it usually makes the ball land farther

thx very much for the info./advice

Higher balls land deeper. If you can get a ball that goes high with plenty of topspin and lands deep, your opponent had better get the ball on the rise or he'll be in trouble.

to get a low topspin shot you want to step in on the ball and use your hips not just arm to produce the power.
you want a strong follow through with a bit or pronation.

Its likely you're letting the ball drop before hitting it. Hitting it harder actually may produce less depth.

Move to the ball and hit it earlier and you'll get better depth and pace.
