Forehand Strokes

Forehand strokes

Forehand strokes are where the front of the hand leads the stroke.

  • To strike the ball, players should stand with their opposite shoulder facing the net, swing from low to high and follow through. 
  • Follow through by driving the racket forward so that it ends up above the shoulders, pointing up to the sky and in the direction of the ball you just hit.
  • Hitting the ball too late may cause the ball to land out of bounds.
13

Backhand Strokes

Backhand Strokes

Backhand strokes are where the back of the hand leads the stroke.

  • Begin with a balanced ready position. Transition from large stops to smaller steps as a player closes in on the ball.  This will help maintain balance. Step toward the net with the foot on the same side.
  • As the ball approaches, the player must move to intercept it, the shoulder must turn to begin the backswing. As a player set to hit the ball, the backswing is complete.
  • The path of the racket extends along the intended flight of the ball as long as possible. Contact point for a one-handed backhand is further in front of the body than in a two-handed swing.
  • The face of the racket remains vertical through the contact zone. The follow through is high.
