is this how i should fix my forehand

[patrick922]

i have been reading articles and doing searches on the boards and the most common tips are keep the elbow in [meaning keeping it bent] and lifting and coming off of the ground when hitting the forehandn [basically lifting and pushing off so the feet are off of the ground]

so you guys think this will improve the consistency, power and depth of my forehand? i have been doing everything to try to fix my forehand. my backhand is solid and i want to have a good forehand as well so it is not attackable.

thanks

it was different back...i think you should do whatever you feel comfortable doing, though.

i went out for a hit today...and i must say that keeping the elbow a little closer to the body does feel good. i felt like i hit more of a solid shot. and lifting and pushing off helps as well.

i think i have found answers to hitting a consistent forehand!!
