Forehand help!

[PollACk]

Well, yesterday i was playing tennis with my friend and and i found 2 major problems with my forehand. Firstly, when i hit i have a tendency to not to move foreward and go through my shot. The next problem was that when i hit the ball i always felt like i was hitting wildly. So if anyone has any advice or any like drills i could do to help my forehand , that would be great.

Maybe later i can post a video of my forehand and you guys can help me.

have you done your reading of the Sticky (topmost thread)?

check my posting on Forehand Issues; try to read all threads & pages linked there;

check again this one in the Sticky:

Acceleration at contact (observations on Sampras's running FH)

and slow down your swing, until you're able to control what you're doing, if you are wild; count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 during the swing to impose some control

also, at contact you must "hit 3-4 balls in a series", thus linearize your shot

check the revolutionarytennis.com site too
(will help you with moving through the ball)

this other thread in the Sticky is very important too:

Bungalo Bill and Others - Forehand help please.
