I've been trying to work more on my forehand lately. Trying to get it deeper, past the service line, while keeping the same amount of spin. Sometimes my balls go super high, and sometimes in the net. So what I'm trying to do is to build a consistent forehand that goes about 3-4 feet above the net, while going deep. I was wondering if you guys have any tips for me. I have a semi-western forehand, with lots of topspin, and I'm only 14 years old. I think I need to get stronger first, so I can hit the ball harder and it will land deeper. Is that one way? As for the height above the net, I'm going to try and swing more horizontally through the ball, so it'll go lower, but with the strength I'll build up, hopefully it won't go into the net. Is that a good idea? Any reminders for me or tips?? GREATLY APPRECIATED!
