Lawn Tennis
Semi-Pro
Even when stretched out wide inhibiting rotation this guy can crack the ball. I know he's been playing since he was 5 but what can I do to get some of that easy power? My forehand has enough power to beat 4.0s but if I'm playing a fast 4.0 or most 4.5s, it's not powerful enough for winners.
I make sure I have a loose upper body and especially grip; forwardness into the ball; contact is out in front. Unfortunately, I don't have time to practice much (I work 60+ hours/week). Is there something I can do to my racquet for added power without losing control? I use the Head Liquidmetal Radicals with lead added to handle making it a 12 oz racquet strung at 49 lbs with Luxilon ALU 1.2mm. Should I add weight to hoop or even just the throat?
