Practice video - tips appreciated

[15_ounce]

I am a beginner and I've been playing tennis for 1 year now and am very keen to improve. Here is a video of me having a hit : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWVgmxEuTsc

Constructive critics and tips will really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Looks to me like your using too much wrist, your not using your shoulders on your forehand, and your backhand looks unwieldy, see how on your forehand your dominant arm gets "caught" as you follow through? You can add more power by turning with your whole body. Quick analysis, sorry.

Thanks bro. That really helps. I really should turn my whole body and use the shoulder turn. I definitely need a lot of fixing up in my backhand too.

your backhand nees a lot of improvement. you have to mantain your wrist firm during the shot, you are moving it too much and that's why you dont seem to have much control. also on your forehand seems like you just use your wrist without using your arm and shoulder rotation.
