I'm a relatively new player, started january this year, never had coaching and have learned most of my tennis from trial and error and youtube. So about 2 months ago something clicked on my forehand and I was hitting 80% at least of my forehands perfectly, hitting winners feeling like I can hit the ball with as much pace and power as I want and it will still find the court. That carried on for a good month, then after a week or two off for an injury.
Ever since then my forehand has been a liability, miss hitting a tonne of shots badly, literally hitting the frame, having balls sailing long, and flying in the net. I think I must have picked up some bad habits and as I'm a relatively new player probably haven't got that sweet forehand I had engrained into my muscle memory. I've attached a link to a video of me hitting a couple of forehands and if you could take a look that would be great.
I've attached a video below of my current forehand. After watching it myself I think most of my problems are on my take back/ preparation, to be honest it's horrendous! But could some of you more experienced players take a look and give me some tips and criticism? Don't hold back please I want to improve so am not bothered about you ripping into my terrible technique as long as it'll help me!
