The modern tennis game puts a lot of emphasis on forehand as a main weapon, with many of the world's top players looking to play this powerful stroke every time they hit a decent serve and so dominating their opponent from the first ball.
These drills will help your players implement the forehand inside in shot by working on their consistency and ball placement while running around the backhand and hitting forehand from the full court. These drills will also increase the player's balance, timing and control.
The drills are ideal for players who dislike or have weak backhand shots because it requires them to use the correct footwork to ensure they are in position to play a forehand.
Tactics also play a large role in how best to use this shot in a game.
