Tennis Forehand Strokes
Tennis Basics?
Any tips on the forehand strokes in tennis?
And when you hit a forehand are you supposed to swing the racket back before you hit?
Thanks in advance ^^
Take the racquet back so that the butt cap is facing the net. That is what we teach the beginners at a clinic that I help run. Be sure to swing low to high, and take a FULL follow through over your left (I assume you are right handed) shoulder. Keep the face of the racquet pretty much parallel to the net, and don't let the racquet twist. Keep your wrist firm. Also, step in with your left foot.
I know that is sounds like a lot to remember, but after a little work, it will be second nature.

Beginning Tennis Tips & Techniques : Tennis Forehand Ground Stroke Form
How to Accomplish A Forehand Maneuver in Tennis-4 Simple Steps
The forehand maneuver is certainly common in the game of Tennis. This stroke is on average used to bonk the ball diagonally over the net. The forehand move refers to swatting the ball when your forearm is facing the net. When the ball is on the side of your body clenching the racket (right side if you are right handed, left side if you are left handed) you will be using the forehand. To preform a fantastic forehand maneuver, follow these steps:
Step 1: Get ready and get in position. If you know the ball is going to your strong side, adjust to hit a forehand. First, side step (or shuffle) over to the ball. At this point your body should be facing the net, but remember to keep your eyes on the ball.
Step 2: Open up your stance. This is the part where you need to turn yourself sideways. To do this, turn your backfoot so it is parallel with the baseline and the net. At the same time, take a small step forward with your other foot (this foot will be your left if you are right handed, or your right foot if you are left handed). Bend your knees and prepare for the ball to enter into your hitting range.
Step 3: Make contact with the ball. This step should happen less than a couple seconds after the second step. Your stroke of the racket should follow your step forward, causing the entire procedure to be one, fluent motion. Your racket should follow an upside down arc pattern. The slice should start up high about shoulder height, swing down to below the waist, and then be traveling upwards again when it makes contact with the ball. Topspin is your goal when playing Tennis.
Step 4: Follow through. After the contact is made, make sure you follow through with a complete slice. Do not merely make contact with the ball and then stop. Rather, keep your arm moving until the slice is completed, and then prepare yourself for the ball to be returned. Great job, you completed a forehand slice.
