Forehand Made Easy

One question comes up quite a bit when I talk to club players and that
is, is there a right way to hit a particular stroke and a wrong way? Or is
any way that feels good to a person really the way he/she should hit
it?

Stepping in adds three to five miles an hour
racquethead velocity without sacrificing control. Notice the
racquethead remains steady.

Because when you look at the pro circuit, you see many of the top
players hitting the ball in very different ways. Is there a reason why the
average player should copy one particular pro player or another? If a top
player is successful using complicated biomechanics, does that mean club
players should try the same things?

The answer, as far as I’m concerned, is that the easiest way is usually
the best. If you’ve got a great athlete who practiced five or six hours a
day for 10 or 15 years, he might be better hitting a ball in a more
complex way than you or I could doing it the easy way. But that doesn’t
mean that it wouldn’t have been better for him to do it the easy way as
well.
