The forehand is one of the most used strokes in tennis so proper technique is crucial to becoming a successful player. Modern tennis players take tremendous power from the body's turns.
Coaches should implement this action into every stroke; especially into groundstrokes. In this technical exercise, coach teaches player to work as a one unit. It means that turn should be executed using whole upper body. Non-dominant hand plays a primary role to facilitate the shoulder turn and to allow the dominant hand to relax before the swing.
