Forehand only10
Instruction :
Play a set or tie breaker where only forehands are allowed to be played (ie. backhand is treated as an error). Start the point with an underhand feed.
Look to work at:
· Footwork and court positioning to maximise the chance of hitting a forehand
· Placing the strokes maximise the chance of receiving a forehand on the return · Hit the forehand with the aim of forcing a winner or weak return
Scoring and Details :
Studying the modern game shows that pro’s hit approximately T of all strokes on the forehand side. Except in some very rare circumstances most of the winners will come from the forehand also. Use this variation to indoctrinate your players with the message that the forehand is a weapon.
